Safari with Seven By Far exceeded expectations BY FAR!
My wife and I just got back from our 14-day safari with Seven by Far and we have done nothing but rave about our experiences while in Africa. Sylvester was very professional in his communication leading up to the trip and the agenda for our safari was very accurate in its description of what we were to experience in Kenya and Tanzania. He takes a personal interest in the experiences of his guests. He met us at the airport in Nairobi on our arrival and also discussed our safari with us prior to our departure on the last day.
Nick was our driver and guide during our time in Kenya. We can't imagine anyone doing a better job than he did. Nick's communication skills are excellent and we soon felt like he was a friend we had known for a long time. His ability to locate animals was extremely impressive and he is a keen observer of the behavior of African animals, often predicting what we were about to see prior to it unfolding before our eyes. My wife and I are both retired teachers and we asked if we could visit a school sometime during our safari. Nick set up a visit at a rural school (above and beyond normal expectations) and this experience was very special to us.
Benson was our driver/guide while in Tanzania. He grew up as a Masai and we were continually fascinated by his stories of his growing up in the Masai culture. Benson was a textbook of knowledge about the plants and animals of Tanzania.
This was our first trip to Africa and we didn't know what to expect with regard to lodging. We found all of the properties we stayed at to be of high quality, more luxurious than we would stay in back in the United States. There were always a variety of delicious foods available for meals.
We would, without hesitation, recommend Seven By Far for your African safari.

A wonderful experience for a reasonable price
We did much comparisons, finally we picked Seven By Far to put together a personalized tour of Kenya (Sambura, Mara) and Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangiri). It was hazzle free from beginning to end with great drivers Pascal, Steve and Cosmas who took great care and made sure that we encountered all the Big Five and more. Hotel accommodations were convenient, with all amenities and good scenic locations. Flight connections were on target from one reserve to the next on Safarilink. On one occasion we were dropped off at the wrong airstrip, but this was error was quickly corrected. Thank you Seven By Far for a memorable experience.

VERY GOOD
We rented a car and hired a driver as well from selfdrive.
The driver was both very experienced and drove safely as well as an excellent guide.

Excellent Service
I worked at an organization that received international volunteers. When our volunteers wanted to hike Nyrigongo in the Congo, I only sent them with Barack. They always came back beaming and only said the best about Barack. He dealt with everything from picking them up, helping at the border, organizing the hike, and everything in between. He was also great at communicating with me about where my volunteers were at all times. I highly recommend working with him!

Very professional, personal and pleasant throughout
Our experience with Roho Ya Chui was extremely positive and exceeded our expectations. Our communication was with Ms. Ute Sonnenberg who was very responsive from the start and helped us plan the vacation experience we were looking for from A to Z, and everything worked very smoothly and according to plan. The safari tour itself was an unforgettable experience. We would definitely recommend Roho Ya Chui to all our friends.

Great Experience with Tony
We ended up with Tony Mobile Safari only because the other safari provider could not accommodate our dates. We has some concerns initially, but within half an hour of meeting Tony, I felt pretty much at ease. No regrets whatsoever! And for the rest of our time with Tony and his team, we felt safe and they took good care of us. Tony has good tracking skills, and can spot the animals from far away. He's a real easy going guy, and patiently tells you all about the different animals, and answer all your questions. The camp situation is pretty basic, but we were comfortable. Thanks Tony!

Amazing trip!
The all trip was planned to the detail and the lodges were absolutely amazing! Breathtaking and unforgettable landscapes. We were a group of 9 in two cars and we drove around 5.200Km in 17 days with the useful indications and markings in the maps. Simply superb the way Dunas, specially , Sylvia, organized the 18 days.
I can only recommend Dunas and will definitely call them whenever I want to plan another safari trip :)

Exelent
I am thrilled to be able to tell you that Earthwings Tours cannot disappoint. They have impressive credentials and a world of experience but it was our first phone conversation that really sold me. They are knowledgeable and professional, they made me instantly aware that this is someone who likes people and who absolutely loved s her job. Trust me, that’s the person who’s going to plan a great trip for you. It was only the first of many conversations and emails and there were amazingly patient with me all through the entire process. Our trip was just wonderful It met all our expectations and I came home telling anyone who would listen how happy I am that I chose to go with Earthwings Tours. They went well above and beyond the average tour operator.

Wonderful visit to the Masai Mara
We have just got back from a 3 day Safari with Beacon and it was a great experience.
We were lucky enough to see and photograph all of the "Big 5". Paul our driver was good, quite a character! The Ilkeliani Camp was also incredible, with impeccable service and a lovely setting.

Excellent service, flexible, and honestly priced
Safari was tailored to our needs, with help from Romeo right from the start. He and his team were very quick and consisely informative with all communications. Ask and you'll receive.
The pricing was honest and fair, amazing given it's so often hard to come by in Tanzania.
Amos was a brilliant guide, he accomadated all our needs.
Ok our truck looked a bit tattier, but honestly they're all the same really, everybody does the same stuff. Unless you think it's worth paying $5000 extra simply for a leather lined seat. They've all got the same: power outlets, seat layout, and fridge in the back - don't be fooled that these are luxuries with those pricey companies.
Look no further this company was great.
