A magical experience beyond imagination
Me and my friend Emanuele traveled to Zambia last December. Our trip was organized by Ntanda Ventures and we can't be more satisfied with the service. Kerry did an amazing job organizing large part of our itinerary. We visited the South Luangwa National Park (which became in my opinion one of the coolest national parks in southern Africa. After Luangwa we visited Victoria Falls, which was also a fabulous experience.
Kerry not only scheduled a plan that really suited what we wanted to see, but she was also the ideal tour operator. Even though Emanuele and I got covid some days before traveling to Zambia. Kerry took care of reorganizing the schedule in a marvelous way. We were able to visit Zambia a couple of weeks after and the experience could have not been better.
Thank you soo much for your hard work.

They go above and beyond to ensure their clients have a top-notch experience
It was very important to us to go with a local, Kenyan-owned tour operator that prioritizes eco-friendly lodges and a customized experience. Seven By Far is just that! We booked our trip very last minute and Sylvester was super responsive, worked with us to put together an excellent itinerary that hit what we wanted and provided great value for money -- all in record time. Just tell him what's important to you and he'll help you customize your trip. He helped steer us away from the standard commercial lodges and recommended some more boutique ones that we ended up loving.
Seven By Far and Sylvester go above-and-beyond to ensure their clients have a top-notch experience. It was both of our first time in Kenya (and first safari) and we felt that we were in good hands, from start to finish. Hassan, our driver and guide for most of the trip, was extremely knowledgeable and kind.
We've already recommended Seven By Far to several other friends and will be using them again for any more safaris we do in East Africa!

5-day Uganda Tour incl. Gorillas
The 5-day trip was very well organized, from the pick up from the airport, to the hotels and lodges and the whole travel itinerary. We very much enjoyed the tour, especially our tour guide was very nice and knowledgable which makes a huge difference in the whole travel experience. The absolute highlight was of course the gorilla trekking in Bwindi. We would definitely do it all over again and can only recommend the tour as well as the operator

Unforgettable!
After contacting several agencies we finally decided to book our 5-day safari with SERENGUETI WAKANDA TOURS AND SAFARIS for two reasons, the first because no agency gave us a 5-day group safari for such a good price and the second because it was precisely what we were looking for, to be able to sleep some night in the lodge and others in a tent in the middle of savanah, a safari with perfect mixed accommodation !. We must add that we are also completely satisfied as it exceeded our expectations, the team is highly qualified and they are very professional. The program is very well done since you can see several parks and in our case all the animals! . The cook fed us all the way through the safari an excellent and lovingly cooked meal. We are very grateful to the whole team: barthoo, ben, andrew, chardy, keep it up !!!!

Great camping safari!
I went on a shared safari with Wakanda for 4 days, the experience was incredible!
The Serengeti offers a great diversity of animals and the adventure is well worth it, you feel like an explorer, in search of the most difficult animals to see. Andrew our guide allowed us to see cheetahs, lions, leopards, in addition to the other most present animals, a great adventure!

Magic amidst a pandemic
There are vacations, there are amazing vacations, and then there is an African safari! Exciting, beautiful, colorful, versatile - those are some of many adjectives to describe the experience and the mood. And Keron Safaris & Hotels (Ks&H) was responsible for the fairy-tale every step of the way. But let's start at the beginning.
1. Planning and booking.
Planning this trip was exhausting... for our sales manager Kenny :) The number of change requests from our side was enormous, but Kenny patiently stuck with us till the end and the resulting trip itinerary was all we could ever wish for! Thank you Kenny so much!
The actual booking was pretty straight forward: there are plenty of payment options and even the final documents have been adjusted according to our requirements.
2. Arrival.
Upon our arrival at the Nairobi airport we were picked up and transferred to our first hotel by a very nice guy Pascal, who was very friendly (in fact, it is remarkable, how friendly and lovely people of Kenya are) and helpful. Everything went fast and smooth.
3. Safari.
A.W.E.S.O.M.E. Our expectations were fulfilled by 200%! We've seen the Big Five, Cheetahs, Lions' hunt, White Rhinos, Flamingos, Wild Dogs (a spices on a bridge of extinction which, we were told, had not been seen for the last four years!), beautiful scenery, amazing skylight and so much more! It was magical!
4. Guide/Driver and organization.
Our guide's name is Pascal. He was our friend, our driver, our spotter. It is remarkable how skillful he is in spotting wildlife on great distance, how much exciting trivia he told us about what we've seen, how friendly, helpful and patient he was with us. We were difficult passengers, but Pascal was able to fulfill our every request and even more. Next time we're traveling through Africa, we will do it only with Pascal. Thank you so much my friend!
5. Kenya.
It's such a beautiful and versatile country! The political and economical situation there is far from ideal, but people stay optimistic, open, and friendly. Interesting fact: they seem to be coping with COVID far better than some European countries - we could learn a thing or two from them. The nature is beyond beautiful - it's breathtaking! And Kenyan government does a lot to keep it that way - the measures for protection of the national parks, reservations etc. are impressive! Same goes for the ban on plastic packaging.
6. Summary for KS&H:
- Organization - Kenny - excellent!
- Logistics and communication in Nairobi - Ibrahim - excellent!
- Safari and everything around it - Pascal - excellent! excellent! excellent!
Thank you so much guys! We could not have wished for more!
Love,
From Barbeau and Toussaint

Amazing experience with an amazing guide
We had a perfect experience with this safari tour from day 1.
First it was very convenient to organize our trip, with a dedicated team, very responsive on WhatsApp.
When we arrived in Nairobi, our driver was waiting for us directly so we did not struggle to find anything. And then we started our trip in Kenya.
I want to really thank our driver - Jack - who was very fun, nice and knew everything about the animals. Thanks to him we saw the big 5 the first day of our trip (we were so lucky!!) and many more animals during our safari. He was even able to detect a leopard hidden in the bush!
Thanks again to him and all the team, I definitely recommend this safari trip and Jack our guide
