We trusted our dream and exceeded expectations
If you are looking for a serious, reliable and high quality company, you can trust Seven Wonders. We did a 4-day private safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and we lived unforgettable days! Everything planned perfectly for them. Our guide Nestori was wonderful. He worked hard every day so that we had the best experience possible. They took care of everything! I strongly recommend it! Thank you very much Evelyn and team! Asante sana!!!

Lifetime Experience! We went on a 5-day safari in Tanzania with Seven Wonders Safaris to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. It was a last-minute arrangement but Evelyn made it easier for us and we were comfortable to book with them. Our guide Hoza was beyond our expectations as he was very tentative and happy to answer all our questions about wildlife, flora & fauna. He is a very competent guide, patient, kind and hard working.
We were able to customize and add Zanzibar after and we had a great time to explore Stone Town and Matemwe Beach. It was really a lifetime experience and we would gladly like to recommend them."

Top-Notch Service
We were picked up from the airport in Arusha for our 9 days Honeymoon safari. Our tour included Lake Manyara- Serengeti- Ngorongoro-Tarangire and Lake Eyasi. Amazing experience thanks to our experienced guide.
We saw everything we hoped for our more thanks largely to William. He knew all of the parks well and was able to plan out each day perfectly based on weather, timing, animal behavior, etc. We learned so much about the animals, culture, and history of the land during the many hours driving to each location and on our game drives. Our guide's excitement to share and see the animals along with us made everything that much more enjoyable and we can't thank him enough. We would like to recommend this Agency for better service."

Perfect Trip! This was our fourth safari to Africa, and everything down to the tiniest detail was amazing. Evelyn at Seven Wonders Safaris did the best job at creating a unique and personalized trip for us. There was no need to worry about anything - they were attentive and exceeded at fulfilling our desire. It was a vacation of a lifetime. Our 14-night Wildlife Safari in Uganda and Tanzania was top-notch and very well organized. We were afraid that it could be touristy or cookie cutter, and it ended up being the most thoughtful trip we've ever taken. I cannot recommend Evelyn and Seven Wonders Safaris enough; we will surely book with them again.

7 disasters
We booked a package for 11-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania through Parrot Safaris, Kenya. The Kenyan side of the tour was smooth and very well organized. Jose, our tour agent in Kenya, was easily reached and responsive 24-hour a day, even during his days off. We had Maxwell as our guide and driver and he catered about all of us all the time. But our stay in Tanzania was more than disappointing. First, the truck 7 wonders provide was very old. It broke down 3 times in 4 days and finally, we had to be driven back to Arusha from Ngorongoro by other trucks. Not only had we to spend hours in garages waiting for the truck to be repaired, but our driver Linus was totally negligent and I and my husband felt like useless bags. Most of the time he spoke on the phone and often made pauses on the way to Serengeti. He did not care what time we will reach the reserve because had to arrange some private business with a German tourist. We were overtaken by tenths of trucks just waiting on the dusty road for our driver to finish his phone conversations. In the end he was rushing over the bumpy roads in the parks and no wonder, the truck broke down. When I complained to his bosses, Evelyn and George, through our Kenyan agent, I received just apologies, but things did not get better.

Unforgettable safari
We had 6-day safari with Seven Wonders which was so perfect, it's hard to put on words. Our guide Hoza was truely king of the savannah! He knew everything about the animals and was so patient with our questions. He always knew when we wanted to stop for pictures and seemed to really love and respect nature. Hoza made us feel save and was always on time. With his positive and calm energy, he made our safari unforgettable. This was my 3rd safari and Hoza was the best guide I've ever had! We definitely recommend Seven Wonders Safaris for everyone and would give this company six stars if it would be possible!

Completely Disorganized and No Transparency
We booked a combined Kenya-Tanzania safari through Okoa Africa Safari (Kenya operator). We were dropped off at the border, and Seven Wonders picked up the Tanzania portion of our tour.
We are experienced travelers who generally don’t mind small hiccups or slight plan changes. However, we experienced many issues on this safari that were unacceptable. No matter what tour agency you select, you will see the animals and the landscapes. If you don’t want those memories clouded by stress, uncertainty, and worry, pick a more reputable tour agency. This is not a professional outfit.
We were dropped off at multiple locations that didn’t match our provided itinerary with no Wi-Fi / service to contact the agency. In one instance, the next driver showed up 15 hours late. There was a lack of information and transparency that left us feeling unsafe, vulnerable, and stranded.
A flat tire is reasonable and common. However, setting off on a three-day safari in the Serengeti with a damaged, leaking radiator is negligent and unsafe. We were stranded for two hours because the engine overheated and had to make several other stops to check on the vehicle throughout the tour.
Despite paying for an all-inclusive (planned) safari, we had independent or sub-contracted drivers who were not aware of our itinerary —including what parks we were to visit, where we were staying and the logistics of our next (unexpected) hand-offs. These drivers also didn’t have our information and we were forced to trust they were somehow affiliated with the company.
In one specific incident, a driver had no idea what our final destination was or where we were staying. This driver attempted to pick up friends along the way until we demanded to be taken to our accommodation. He didn’t know this accommodation, so we told him to take us to the accommodation we stayed in before we departed for the park where we knew we would have access to Wi-Fi to call for help. We then had to go to the new accommodation that was not on our provided itinerary.
Other issues we experienced:
1. Our accommodations didn’t match those listed on our itinerary and we were never provided with an updated version.
2. None of the jeeps were affiliated with Okoa Tours or the Tanzanian counterpart called Seven Wonders, despite other legitimate companies having branded vehicles.
3. All jeeps’ were older than the pictures provided and the charging outlets did not work as described.

Amazing staff and great service
We had a wonderfull time on our 11-day budget safari trip in Kenia and Tanzania. We saw a lot of animals including the Big Five and the Big Migration. That was really fantastic! Really liked the nature and culture. Both country's were a bit more expensive then we expected.
In Kenia the accomodations were oké in value for money. In Tanzania we had some amazing accomodations but also booked some camping days in to the wild. The camping is really going back to basics. The matress and sleeping bag were a bit thin but nothing really to cold. Nothing that could spoil the sleeping in the wild, where you exit your tent looking at a buffalo.
We really liked the staff we traveled with. Big thanks to Mozes in Kenia and Lucas in Tanzania for being our amazing guides. No question remained unanswered. One last thanks to Nathan, our chef/cook. All our meals were delicious.
We would really recommend to book with Seven Wonder Safari. The organization is fantastic with great service!

Unforgettable experience
For our honeymoon, my wife and I choose a trip to Tanzania including a 3 days Safari in Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater.
I did my search on Safaribooking.com and received quotes from 4 tour operators. I choose Seven Wonders Safari and here are the 5 main reasons making me satisfied with my choice: Respect for the commitments, Punctuality, Flexibility, Great service, Kind and courteous employees
Here’s the feedback on my experience in the 4 steps of my relationship with Seven Wonders Safari:
1- Preparation of the trip: Being myself a business manager, I learned to assess the professionalism of companies through their communication. Mrs. Evelyn Ngotea was the only one who sent me a quote in good standing: with stamp and signature, details of the course and conditions of the Safari were precise. The human relationship took precedence over the commercial aspect of our exchanges and I appreciated her recommendations.
2- Pick up: When our plane landed in Arusha, the transfer driver was waiting for us in the arrival area to pick us up. He drove us to the Ambassador Hotel which is located in a good location near the Maasai market where we could buy souvenirs at a very good price (negotiated of course). The hotel is correct and especially clean. We dropped off the souvenirs we had just bought at the reception desk so as not to clutter us up and picked them up at the hotel. One of the Seven Wonders employees (Moses) visited us in the early evening to brief us on the safari.
3- The Safari: the following day at 7:00 am the guide Kivuyo and Chief John were at the reception waiting for us to start the Safari. Kivuyo is an experimented guide and a great driver, which is very important because of the state of the roads in the parks. The day we were in the Ngorongoro Crater it was extremely foggy and we encountered two overturned vehicles. His experience allowed us to spot most of the big animals and to witness some amazing wildlife scenes: lions sharing a zebra, ostriches in courtship, huge herds of zebra and wildebeest, elephants, a rhino, a female cheetah with her cubs, hyenas on the hunt,... The information he provided us on the fauna and flora has enriched our knowledge and experience.
As for John, he spoiled us with his delicious dishes and was very attentive to our needs. My wife took the opportunity to learn a few tips from his good recipes. We took a liking to these two brave men and the discussions with them around dinner in the evening were amusing and their intellectual level is respectable: it was for us a taste of the African wisdom.
The camps where we spent the 2 nights were well located and the atmosphere was friendly. The sanitary facilities, showers, and kitchens were clean and practical. The tents provided by Seven Wonders were spacious and in good condition.
We even had the chance to be visited by a herd of zebras, some giraffes, and baboons. All harmless.
4- The return: On the evening of the 3rd day Kiyuvo and John dropped us off at the Ambassador Hotel. Evelyn contacted us to get our feedback and ask for the time we would like the driver to pick us up the next day to drop us off at the airport. The next day the driver was at the scheduled time. In this regard, I note the punctuality of Seven wonders.
Finally, we would like to thank Evelyn, Kiyuvo, and John for the great and unforgettable moments we spent. They allowed me to discover the heart of the African savannah and my eyes lost in the horizon crossed that of the first explorers and I felt the attachment of men like Vorbeck and Livingstone to the Tanzanian land.
