Slow service on the trip
We booked a 2 night/3 day walking tour to Mount Meru. The communication before the trip was very good. The two porters/chefs/guides we met originally seemed good fun and very helpful. We were told we would have 4 porters for our trip. When we arrived at the National Park, we were told to sit and eat our lunch, then told, we needed to hurry as the ranger ( who we had never met) was leaving. We then realised we were in a group with 20 other people(I had originally inquired whether we could join another group and have a discount and was told no). The 2 men we had arrived with, did not walk with us on that first day. We had nobody from Bobby tours with us. When we arrived at the camp, the other people were given tea, but our representatives were not there. They arrived an hour after us and we had tea approx 2 hours after everyone else. The next day started the same way, we walked with a group of 20 people with no representatives from Bobby Tours. That afternoon we climbed Mount Meru with one representative from Bobby tours and a local porter. Mount Meru is an amazing climb. The next day we walked down off the mountain with our Bobby tour representative. They then asked us for tips for 5 people ( we had already had to tip the ranger) I explained that we had not seen these 5 people. We agreed to give tips for 4 people when we got to our hotel. The Bobby tour representatives' attitude towards their tips was simply not good enough. They were pushy and questioning constantly and when we gave them their tips, they became quite unfriendly, greedy and close to abusive. Afterwards we rang Kassim in the office to explain our problems with his workers, he said the greediness is to be expected and is fairly normal and he apologised for their behaviour.

Exceptional moments with CATS Africa Tours
Went on safari to Kenya organized by CATS Africa and I must say that they gave us the best service and they don't leave anything to chance. The personalized attention given to us from the office to the wild was exceptional. Our expectations were exceeded thought the safari because our driver guide Moses had an eye for spotting animals.
I would recommend CATS Africa to anyone interested in memorable safari

An experience to remember for the rest of my life.
The people are the most friendly and fun and they know what they are doing. The whole trip was a wonderful adventure. I am most grateful for the opportunity to have this experience and I would definitely go again. Seeing the long necked giraffes or the huge Elephants out in the wild is unforgettable. Riding around in the safari, learning about different things from our guides, and all the while having a blast. What more could I ask for?

Supersafari
We booked our 6 days safari through Foot Slopes. They responded very fast on every e-mail I sent. The feeling was just good. And ofcourse, they did offer the trip we wanted against a good price. Including airport pickup, hotelstay before and after the trip.
They hired another company (guide and cook) to organize our trip. They were absolutely fantastic! The best guide you can wish for. Very experienced and a genuine person. Our cook was great, he made delicious food.
Because Foot Slopes hired another company for our trip, there we no towels as promised and no unlimited water. This was not really a problem. We organized it ourselves. But is felt ackward towards our guide.
We had an amazing trip and saw the Big 5!

Great safari with Siafu Tanzania Safaris
We found Siafu Tanzania Safaris on the internet and saw that they also have offices in Denmark, and we are glad we chose this company. I was with my work colleagues, 6 persones group and we had a wonderful time camping safari for 4 nights. Meals were freshly cooked each day by our own cook, packed lunch provided, some vegetarians in our group were well catered for. Our guide spoke good English and provided a lot of good information regarding the animals and nature. Leading up to our safari, communication was good, everything went smoothly including payment, and information concerning accommodation. The day before our safari, Guide from Siafu visited us at our hotel in Arusha to welcome us and ask if we had any questions. The next day the time for pick up was respected (not african time) and the 5 days spent on safari were fantastic. I can recommend Siafu Tanzania Safaris as a reliable company.

Excellent tourism company.
All the programs fixed by Travel For Life was very nice and comfortable. The tour with hotels and shuttles reservations were perfect. We did not have any problem at all. I do recommend this company.

Wildlife safaris your amazing!!
My daughter and I had the best holiday ever! From the time we were picked up at our hotel we were totally looked after by Clive our guide. We saw the big five and so much more. Clive was so knowledgable about the animals and the park and drove us round for hours looking for all the sights, we loved every minute from start to end,thankyou so much for the experience of a lifetime, so we will have to come back....see you next year!!

A tour above... by Far
We started from Semburu, up north , all the way down to Masai mara, Serengeti in Tanzania and ended up back in Nairobi.
We were greeted by Sylvester (de great!) and guided by Nick (Nicholas, the encyclopedia of Safari) through out the whole tour in Kenya and Cosmas in Tanzania.
Semburu is relatively a small safari in Africa compared to those in Tanzania and South Africa. However i rated it as a "must go" in North Kenya, especially with the attractive landscapes and uniqueness of animals in the safari, such as the gentle reticulated giraffes, which can only be found up north in Kenya and no where else.
Masai mara and Serengeti are equally unforgettable. The accommodation arrangements were excellent, except some of the hotels
Seven by far was not our first choice when we started planing our Africa trip in May 2016. However, after several times emailing and communicating by phone, I must say we made the best decision ever. We can't wait to go back and take up any trip by them again. They have exceeded all our expectations and beyond. Especially Nick.
Nick was gentle giant, his enthusiasm to please and eagerness to help in every situations through out the trip touched our heart. Not a talker but With him as our driver cum guide cum animal knowhow, we were pampered with the best animals sightings and almost daily, beautiful Africa sunsets! Thank you Seven By Far and Thanks for the giant Kenya avocados nick ! See you guys again soon,!
