Very fun trip, very fun guide!
Molell is great, fun and knowlodgable, 20/20 sight by the way, not easy to spot a leopard on a tree 600 meters far while driving. If you are going to Tanzania this is your guy.

Wish I Could Give More Than 5 Stars
7 Wonders Safaris is really amazing...
They had arranged everything v needed even though it was on a short notice..
From the time we began our booking enquiry, the customer service of this company was outstanding. Ms.Evelyn was very responsive, helpful and insightful about what to expect, what to bring, where we were going and she assured us that we would enjoy our trip...
Absolutely loved our experience with "7 Wonders Safaris"
Highly Recommended !

Do not book with this company
Do not book a tour with Seven Wonders in Arusha. In all of my travels, it was the worst experience I’ve ever had. This is not just a post about a bad tour company, this is a safety warning to all travellers – please do not use this company.
My boyfriend and I booked a safari to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater for 3 days and 2 nights. Our cook was great, but our guide was awful. We shared the safari truck with two lovely French ladies, and we were all told that the guide spoke both French and English – but he didn’t speak either (other than a few basic phrases), which made communication very difficult.
He couldn’t tell time, and kept telling us to get up for breakfast at 2:00 am (which we actually did the first morning!). He was very disorganized and always late, which decreased the amount of time we got to spend each day in the national parks. We had to set-up and take down his tent each morning to try and speed up our departure time, as he didn’t know how to. He didn’t spot one single animal our entire trip! And when we spotted them he would drive past more than half of them. And on our second day when I spotted a leopard, and we requested to park for a better view, he kept driving and said that we had to go home for lunch, yet proceeded to stop for antelope!!! We’re not usually picky with driving, but he was honestly very unsafe and came close to hitting walls, trees and animals on the road on multiple occasions. He was always on his phone in the truck, and when he wasn’t talking on it he was taking creepy pictures of the young French girl (trying to disguise them as selfies). He made the experience so bad that it brought the French ladies in our truck to tears - they called Seven Wonders several times to complain and to try and get a replacement guide, but the manager of Seven Wonders yelled at them over the phone and called them “liars” and refused to compensate them in any way.
As if this wasn’t bad enough, on our last day we were scheduled to visit the Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide had forgotten to pay our tickets for entry the night before, so we were late entering and late leaving the park. Our guide on exiting the inner gate of the crater told us that we had to pay a $70 USD fee per person for exceeding our permit time. We explained to the ranger that it was our guide’s fault because we arrived late, and the guide lied and said that we had threatened to fight him in the truck (3 small girls and 1 guy vs. 2 grown men!), and that we had made him stay late. When we tried to exit the last gate of the park in a taxi, we were detained because the fee had not been paid. The head park ranger agreed that Seven Wonders should pay the fee, and he arranged over the phone with the manager the he should mobile transfer the money. He never did, and as a result we were kept at the gate until after dark before being allowed to finally leave at 8:30 pm (after waiting for 5 ½ hours).
The next day, we were approached at our hotel in Arusha by the manager of Seven Wonders, along with a group of 5 other men. He told us we needed to pay him the $140 USD. We tried to calmly reason with him, but he was simply aggressive and rude, and accused us of lying. They wouldn’t leave, and harassed us until we asked for the police to be called. The police warned us that these men were dangerous, and that they believed that if we didn’t give them what they wanted they were going to hurt us. The police were unable to charge them unless they did first harm us, so we filed a police report and had to be driven to a hotel outside of town where we were safe.
Please be warned – these are bad people. Do yourself a favour, there are many other tour companies you can choose from.

Amazing Safari with an amazing guide and people!
We had a wonderful Safari and a funny Time with our guide 'Good Luck'! Everything was very well organized from the pick up from the airport until the getting back to the airport! All drivers were in time!
We also had luck with the other Safaritourists in our car, cause they all were almost as old we are - about 24- and so we had a lot of fun with them in our car and they also became friends!
Except the mix of Lodge guests - me and my girlfriend were the only ones- and camping guests in our car was a bit complicated and not that good organized, cause our driver had to drive us to the Lodges which were far away to the Camping and so mostly we arrived late in the lodges or camping!But think you will do it better next time! ;)
Although we enjoyed the 4- Day Safari Tour through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti a lot and have seen almost all of the Big Five - except a Rhino- but that didn´t matter!We had one of the Best Times ever there!
Best Regards
Thomas + Ruth

Great way to see all animals up and close!!
What a wonderful experience. We went on a camping safari to get the best exposure we could get. It worked. Camping sites, food, transportation were all great. Evelyne was really good in organizing everything for us. Thank you!
The memory of waking up surrounded by zebras in our campsite will stay with me forever. Thanks!!

Excellent coomunication and experience
Once we reached Tanzania, all our request were fullfilled and well organized. Eveline was really cooparative and helpfull. One of the most important thing was our great guide Mr. George Mollel, who was really an experienced and knowledgeable persone, we strongly recomend the company and George for those who are looking for informative trip. My next trip will be with this comapny and with Goerge who is enjoying his work, I can see from his passion that the wild life is in his blood.
Amazing Christmas Safari
Our safari included the Serengeti and other parts of Tanzania over Christmas 2013, concluding New Year's 2014. George Mollel was a fantastic guide. We spent long days together- we covered 1900 km over the 10 days! you really get to see the bush from just a few feet away, and it was spectacular! George was not only knowledgeable, and was able to show us areas you would never find without an experienced guide, but was also able to deal with our two small children, ages 6 and 7 years old, for 10-12 hours each day! It was well worth it and truly a trip of a lifetime.

“Outstanding experience”
What a fabulous safari to Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Tarangire we had with wonderful Bekka, our driver and guide from 7 Wonders Safaris. From the moment we contacted Ms.Evelyn about safari options, we had complete confidence that our experience was going to be special...and it was.
Mr.Bekka was such great company with his wonderful sense of humour, and his fountain of knowledge and deep caring for his country, customs and wildlife taught us so much. We so enjoyed our 5 days in Tanzania and wished it could have been longer.
One highlight was seeing a mass movement of zebras and wildebeests in the Ngorongoro Crater. We also saw adult and baby giraffes, lions, hippos, cheetahs, leopards buffalo, gazelles and baboons and many more.
As keen photographers it was important to us that we should not feel rushed when taking photos and videos and our guide Mr.Bekka excelled here. The moment one of us wanted to shoot, he not only stopped but more importantly turned off the engine so there would be no vibration. He gave us as much time as we wanted and then only started again when we were ready to go...
What else can I say except that each and every moment of our safari was a wow experience!
I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to an amazing safari experience.
Thank you Ms.Evelyn, Mr.George and Mr.Bekka for making our time in Tanzania so wonderful.
Expert drivers
The service was nice and on time. Drivers and cars are maintained.
