A wonderful experience that I will never forget!
5/5

If I could give 7 Wonders 10 stars out of 5 I would. We had the most wonderful time on our 7 day camping safari with them. We were incredibly well looked after by our Guide, Hozza, and Cook, Izak. We couldn't have asked for two better people to show us around Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Lake Manyara, and keep our bellies full with delicious food. Caring, professional, friendly and knowledgeable, they both went out of there way to make our experience memorable.
Seven Wonders pre-trip communication was exceptional. Evelyn was quick to respond to any queries we had, and they were able to easily accommodate our request to adjust our safari to visit Lake Natron, and spend an extra night in Serengeti. 
Terrific value for money!!
I highly recommend 7 Wonders. I have been on safaris with other companies, which have also been wonderful experiences, but I rate 7 Wonders as the best of the companies I have travelled with. Thank you Hozza, Izak, Evelyn and all the 7 Wonders team!! Melissa

Amazing Memorable Experience
5/5

7 wonders Safari was absolutely hands down the most professional tour company I have ever experienced. Having never stepped in the country of Africa, it was extremely stressful to plan everything to the T. I want to start by giving Eve a shoutout, she was our contact from start to finish. From the very beginning before even asking for a budget, she was SUPER helpful. She was honest and that is what I appreciate the most. She wasn’t trying to make a quick buck, she was extremely diligent in keeping us honest and our expectations realistic. On top of that she gave as amazing price and accommodations for a 12 day trip through Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar. From transportation to hotel (tent at campsites) everything was just easy. Our group consisted of 8, and essentially we just showed up and and followed our schedule with our driver and enjoyed our time. I also think what made our trip valuable were the drivers that Eve paired us with. In Kenya we were with David, he was a young man that has been doing tours for 7 years. Being from the USA, he was extremely relatable. I enjoyed my conversations with him, from geopolitics to the different animals he showed us. It was quite an experience and he made the ride easy, fun and smooth. In Tanzania we were with A driver name George. When I tell you this man was passionate, I am not kidding. He is extremely smart, and just knew where every animal was at any given moment. I saw everything with him, from lions to cheetahs. I loved my time with him, and thought I created a lifelong bond with him. I can’t thank Eve and 7 wonders enough! Zanzibar was very touristy and we were on our own, we were on the coast and I highly recommend staying at tea house and doing the prison island tour. There are turtles that are 150 years old and are huge! Every camp site we went through, from Kenya to Tanzania, every person was professional and accommodating. The food was great and they were all home made meals. I can’t stress enough how enjoyable this trip was! In our preliminary planning stages, our group researched about 20 companies, I am super happy we chose 7 wonders, and recommend anyone giving them a shot to plan out your vacation and safari!

Once in a lifetime experience! Would highly recommend.
5/5

Evelyn and George (a local husband and wife team) made booking so easy and catered to everything we wanted from our trip. We booked a private tour (which i would highly recommend if your budget allows) and in comparison to other companies, was only a bit more expensive than grouped tours! We got airport pick up/drop off which was a bonus plus an extra night at the Arusha hotel so we could have a look around the town. They also came to see us at the hotel before we left on Safari to explain everything in person and also visited us on our return to check everything was ok, which i wasn't expecting. Great customer Service!
Our guide Hoza was AMAZING!! He has 10 years experience under his belt and has a relaxed, calm manner that i really enjoyed. Nothing was ever too much trouble, he always made sure we were ok...even if that means chasing a rather large Hyena out of camp, or stopping a cheeky monkey from trying to steal our lunch! Hoza has the best knowledge! He could answer every question, tell us every species of bird or antelope etc. He would pull books out so we could read up about what we had just seen and each night after dinner he would sit with us and chat about what we had seen that day. He was very patient with us constantly stopping to take photos and on the last day he managed to spot, adult male lions which was something i really wanted to see. Having him as our guide was a privilege and made the trip even more special.
We stayed in lodges, basic camping and tented camping, which i would recommend to get an all-round experience. Although basic camping will not be for everyone, as it is not the best night's sleep you'll ever have, but it is worth it to hear Serengeti come to life at night.
We got to see the big 5, a Leopard eating it's kill, a Cheetah and her cubs, Lions mating..I could go on! But the highlight for me was heading to the Northern Circuit where we got to witness the migration of the wilder-beast crossing the Mara river - around 8000 stampeded pass us...Just spectacular!

7 days Mt. Kilimanjaro, Machame route
5/5

We were a small group climbing mount Kilimanjaro in a 7 days hike up the Machame route. All along, from the first emails and up till we got back to Arusha after the climb, Evelyn and the team were outstanding! The guides were professional and the crew was great, as well as all of the equipment we received (tents, mattresses, food tent etc.). Definitely recommend them!

Wonderfully organised, amazing guide and unbeatable game viewing
5/5

Evelyn was very helpful and clear from our first contact and no detail was left unchecked, she and George even came to see us after the tour to see how it went.
Our guide Hozza was wonderful, his knowledge on wildlife, local history and environment and tribes in the area is fascinating. He tried to teach us basic Swahili and new and interesting facts about animals every day. On the night that an inquisitive hyena wandered into camp he even escorted us to the bathroom to ensure we felt safe.
Hozza honestly made an already amazing trip into something truly special.
The vehicle was very comfortable and spacious and very well looked after, his driving skills (especially when taking the quality of the roads into consideration) are phenomenal!
We did a mix of budget and mid range accommodation and every night was a fabulous new experience. Basic camping is a great experience, though perhaps not everyone’s cup of tea, you feel so close to nature. Tent sleeping is not the most comfortable experience, though definitely worth trying for a night, if you can afford to us the tented camps they are a spectacular experience, luxury from another era.
At no point on this trip were we dissatisfied with our choice of tour company and can only sing their praises and thank them for a once in a lifetime experience!
Asante sana Hozza, Evelyn, George, Isaac and Goodluck!

Uncredible Safari
4/5

We had a wonderful safari, we‘ve seen many animals, not just the Big Five. Often we could see the animals up close, elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, hippos... Our driver and guide, Hoza, has brought us many unforgettable moments, sometimes we were alone for a long time. Hoza was very welcoming, he was very knowledgeable and knew where to find the animals. He has patiently fulfilled every photo request and my wish to see also little elephants.
Evelyn and her team took care of everything in advance and after the Safari, we werde very happy with the service.
The only downside was the partly worn and broken equipment (chairs!). In addition, the sanitary facilities on the campsite in the Serengeti were extremely neglected, some of the doors of the toilets were hung and there was no light ...

Clear communication, great experience and very affordable
5/5

We opted for a 4 day/3 nights budget camping package as a family trip; my father, mother and I. Seven Wonders Safari was very communicative and made the whole booking experience a breeze.

Our guide was Jose, a calm and collected individual with a commanding knowledge of the animals and the terrain. Our cook in Kalvin made sure we were well fed with delicious and hearty meals.

We were able to see the Big 5! We rode around 6 or 7 hours a day out in the wild. Watching the animals living unimpeded in their natural habitat was the clear cut highlight of the trip.

The campsites were unfenced and inside the national park. We had some buffaloes visit us at night. The restrooms and shower areas were relatively clean. Watching the sunset and sunrise in the campsite was a very special experience.

We wouldn't hesitate to book a trip with them again.

The safari of your dreams
5/5

I was a solo traveller from Australia (staying in Arusha for 3 months) who booked this tour less than 2 days before it started. First off, Evelyn who I was in contact with from the start was so helpful, going above and beyond to make sure I was ready to go in such a short amount of time. Experiencing the wonders of Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater is the ideal safari and the Seven Wonders team made it magnificent. My guide was Godfrey and the chef was Kaaya. Both Godfrey and Kaaya were so friendly and made me feel so welcome and comfortable. Godfrey is so knowledgable in all of the wildlife, bird life, plant life, landscapes, etc. that you visit. I learnt so much, which makes you appreciate what you're seeing even more. He navigated the parks so well that we didn't miss out on seeing anything! Kaaya's cooking was unbeatable! Every breakfast, lunch and dinner was delicious. Both Godfrey and Kaaya outdid themselves in making sure we were all comfortable, happy and with full bellies. The time allocations for this safari are pretty much perfect, allowing enough time in each of the destinations to experience what is on offer. Thank you Seven Wonders, Godfrey, Kaaya and Evelyn!
