Seven by Far Tours is the best !
Amazing aventures! My husband and I just finished a trip of a lifetime!! It exceeded all our expectations and went beyond! The team at Seven by Far Tours are excellent! I don’t know where to begin, from our airport pick up, hotel stays, culture experiences, African life, and of course all kinds of animals! Our favorite part of this once in a lifetime experience were the excellent guides, who we had for 5 days în our private tour! Antony took care of us as if we were family. Our days spent on Safari were extremely well planned. We had the opportunity to see many animals while we were out on safari in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. In addition to seeing the animals our guides taught us about each species of Fauna and Flora we asked about, the guides were extremely knowledgeable about every aspect on our Safari. This included the culture of the people of Africa as well. So many animals in their normal habitat! Huge, large, normal, and tiny! Land, water, and sky! Monstrous, powerful, ugly, graceful, beautiful, peaceful herbivores and hungry carnivores! When speaking of African animal life, though, one must see the spectacle called The Great Migration (sometimes called The Great Wildebeest Migration), where millions of wildebeests and thousands of plains animals trek in a huge clockwise circle, from the Serengeti Plains of Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya and the return, searching for lush grazing grounds and life-giving water. It is their cycle of life. And we had a front row seat to their struggle!Our guides were the reason for having such a formidable experience!
We highly recommend Seven by Far! We loved every place we stayed, from hotels to tent camps. We always felt safe and taken care of, we didn't need to worry about anything. Would definitely recommend! After Safari, we stayed on the ocean coast for another week, in Diani Beach.
Sylvester helped us again in everything, including transport, tickets, hotel reservations.
It was a great pleasure to meet the people behind Seven by Far.

I can really recommend it!
I can truly recommend doing a safari with Karibu.
The persons are very friendly and you will have a nice time in the Masai Mara. The Campside at Masai Mara truly was amazing. The food was very nice and you will get to see the Masai and can talk to them, ask questions etc. They made a little campfire for us in the evening, which was very nice. Nevertheless, you should be somehow flexible. We only had warm water, energy and light for a few hours a day.
Thr safaris where truly amazing, even if you spent a lot of your time in thr car. Please note that the tour from Nairobi to MM takes about 6 hours (with having lunch).

The best safari experience we could ever wish for
Right from the start the communication with Mufasa was highly professional and transparent. Polly was very responsive, always answered our questions immediately and with all needed details. Several tailored options were provided regarding the exact tour, accomodations and additional activities during the safari. All the lodges and camps booked for us were great. Very clean, safe, great locations and with good food. We felt safe and in good hands from the start!
The safari itself was a breathtaking experience that exceeded all our expectations! Especially our guide Dan was incredible and made this experience so very special. He is not only an absolute expert regarding wildlife, which he explains in unparalleled detail, but also knew absolutely everything about Kenya, its culture and people. Dan always went the extra mile to ensure we have the best time possible and filled our days with smiles and laughters. His extensive safari experience of 20+ years is invaluable as he knows all parks, how to move around and where to spot the most interesting animals. Dan as a guide really makes the difference - we would go on Safari with him anytime again. He is the best guide we could have imagined!
We would strongly recommend to go on Safari with Mufasa as they provide a personal and outstanding experience!

Amazing tour operator
This was our first safari in Tanzania and we chose Furaha because of the flawless communication over whatsApp even weeks and months before the tour even started. This made us feel safe and we were not disappointed. Phil of Furaha tours was extremely supportive and always responded within less than an hour, he had an open ear for any questions we might have, They were also very flexible in adjustng the tour to our personal wishes.
Phil even contacted us every evening and even after the safary to make sure we felt good on our ongoing journey. This is customer care at its best !
We visited Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire NP and it was a wonderful experience ! Our driver, Emanel was so friendly and always trying to serve us as best as he can. He is an eagle-eye ! If there was an animal hiding in the grass, he would see it :-)
Overall, we managed to see 26 different species of aninals and birds ! What an adventure !
The jeep we had, had seen its best days behind it, but what the heck, it did its job flawlessly, never broke down and they even installed a power converter in the car, so we could charge our phones and cameras while driving. A great gadget !
All in all, we hope to come back and next time there is no more searching needed for the right tour operator, We would pick Furaha anytime again. Thanks, guys !

Fantastic service and friendly
Our visit with Kalahari Skies was phenomenal. Our guide, Rex, gave us the best experience in the Moremi reserve. He went above and beyond to catch sight of as many animals as possible. We stayed in tents for two night, with wild animals walking freely outside our tents during the night. An incredible experience. The crew had a well prepared dinner ready for us when we came back from a game drive. They even met up with us in the reserve once, and set up a table with a cooked meal. Exceptional service and a great treatment by the employees. Many interesting conversations and always nice. Thank you so much!

Organized, efficient, professional, experienced, and responsive to your personal interests.
The tour went exactly as planned but included some flexibility to take advantage of seeing as many animals as possible. My guide, Benny, was extremely knowledgeable and experienced at tracking animals enabling us to see a wide variety every day to the extent that it was almost jaw dropping! The personnel have a sincere commitment to making this a memorable experience for you and go out there way to ensure your trip meets all your expectations. Mine went beyond - not only did I see so many animals but I learned a lot about their social behaviors and surrounding habitat which made the viewing so much more meaningful and inspirational. Accommodations are first rate as is the hospitality offered capping off exceptional days with warm, welcoming comfort. I recommend Soul of Tanzania to anyone looking for an unique, fully satisfying, professional and exceptional value for a game drive of a lifetime!

I don't think it is possible to get a better Africa experience than by this Uganda holiday
If you like watching animals, I can highly recommend this tour through the various national parks of Uganda. There was always a change from safaris to boat tours and jungle walks ... absolutely amazing! It was very well organized. We even got the chance of additional things to do, in fact a swamp walk and shoe bill watching. The tour guide was very friendly and pleasant. We could absolutely rely on him in every situation, f.e. when roads were an adventure itself. The lodges were very pleasant. In my personal view they were even more luxury than I really needed. Of course it was not a cheap travel, but I never had a feeling that it wasn't worth the money. I really consider to come back once just to see more of this beautiful country.

amazing holiday in an amazing country - thanks to Hail Tours
We just returned from our 15 day trip to Uganda with Hail Tours. Friends had recommended Doreen and I must say it was a perfect match.
Doreen did everything possible to cater for our individual requests and the result was an individual tour, that was extraordinary. After South Africa and Namibia (both were self-driven), this was our third safari and I must say it was by far the most authentic one. Uganda does have the necessary infrastructure for a nice and comfortable holiday (if you don't count the roads :-)), but is fortunately still lacking the downsides of mass tourism. The lodges were all very nice an comfortable and offered tasty and good food. Usually my stomach is pretty shaky, when I go to foreign contries, so I was a bit worried at first, but it turned out, that that was no problem at all. The local food, which we tried on several occasions, is cooked so long , that its not only tender, its also ready for "western stomachs". And every coupkle of meters you'll find stands with fresh fruit ranging from mangos to pineapples, bananas, ...
An absolute highlight for us was the Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi. Getting face-to-face with those primates without a fence, glas or anything else in between is an astonishing adventure. It's not cheap, but parts of the money go to the local communities thus saving the surroundings of the gorillas. The result is, that the overall population has increased again over the last 10 years.
Our driver and guide Gerald was also amazing. He seemed to know half of Uganda and whenever we arrived at a national park, he was immidiately in contact with the locals and knew right away which spots to go to and which not. And whenever we wanted a sudden change in the plan, he accomodated for that.
Bottom-line: For anyone planning a trip to Uganda, I can only recommend Hail Tours and Doreen without hesitation. While it is a small company, it offers an excellent and very personal service and what I also find very impoertant: The money you spend, stays in the country and thus helps the development of the country and the locals (we've seen first-hand, that that is the case with Doreen).
