Fantastic trip!
After researching many tour operators we choose Boundless Africa. Annette was awesome in helping us get set up and arranging our travel. Johnson was our driver/guide, and we could not have asked for anyone better. We saw everything, he made did a great job finding the animals and getting us in the right position. The itinerary was perfect and we had a nice variety of parks. The trip could not have gone better!

Amazing Safari adventure!
My wife and I traveled with Earthlife this past month (Sept 2018) on a private safari and we couldn't recommended them more highly. From the first email to the last dropoff at the airport they lived up to all of our hopes and expectations. They are a smaller company than others in Tanzania and are owned by a Tanzanian who was previously a guide for another company. That fact results in great, personalized customer service because they don't have swarms of clients and the owner knows what clients want and how to make them happy.
Caudence, their senior sales consultant, is the person who helped us schedule our itinerary. She was patient, helpful and willing to work with us as we swapped and changed our plans around. She would always respond within 24 hours and always had helpful suggestions for us. In the end we booked a customized 18 day safari with stops along the way that weren't typical tourist stops (like the Kondoa rock paintings).
Our guide for the trip was Moison and he was superb. He was kind, enthusiastic and he used his knowledge to see things that other guides missed (like the migration across the river. When the herd of wildebeest turned and started walking in another direction many jeeps left their viewpoint to follow them, Moison did not. He studied them, stayed patient and understood what was happening. When the herd turned back 15 minutes later we ended up in prime position to watch them cross while many other jeeps were stuck on the wrong side of the river having followed them).
Amazing trip and a fantastic company!

Absolutely incredible experience! Would do it again in. Heart beat! My driver Stephen was great! The drive was long, be prepared for a lot of traveling, but Uganda is a beautiful country and it’s definitely worth traveling through. The lodging was very nice with incredible views. The staff were absolutely incredible. The food was delicious, wayyyy too much of it, but delicious! Highly recommend. CHeckout detailed blog at Allison zucco.com

Professional, Safe, Responsive, top-notch tour company.
I worked with Sylvester, the owner of Seven By Far, to create a custom program for my photography adventure. This is my first trip to East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Madagascar) so I don't expect a 100% success. I was wrong! From the beginning to the end, barring some minor issues which were quickly corrected by Sylvester, the safaris went exceptionally well!
When I was in Tanzania, Cosmas, the driver, managed to remove a couple of seats from a short wheelbase landcruiser to provide more space inside the vehicle (managing big lenses required a lot of space). This is just one example Seven By Far's effort to accommodate guest.
Sylvester, Wilson, Hassan and Cosmas: You are the finest individual! I am glad to meet you!
I highly recommend Seven By Far! If anyone hesitates to book the service with this company, please drop me a line. I will be happy to answer your questions!

Great tour with a great tour guide
It was our first visit to Uganda and it won't be the last! We really enjoyed our tour with Adventure Vacation Safaris. Everything was well organzied and our guide, Robert, has always been friendly, in time, interested in our wishes and our well-being. We saw and learned a lot about this beautiful country and can only recommend everyone to travel with Adventure Vacation Safaris.

Great experience, Amazing time in Kenya.
We really enjoyed our package overall,
Received a very warm welcome at the airport straight into our drive to our first nights accommodation, Sawela Lodge, which was a great place, we saw giraffes from the grounds, food was good buffet style and breakfast was the same.
We then drove to Mara river camp, an amazing camp located right on the bend of a river where hippos actually do live its not just sales. the tented camp is lovey with plenty of room for two. we had a fantastic few days here seeing wildlife right from our bed. only issues we had was getting hot water some days as its from solar or generator and our shower did had a leak that stuff were aware of. Camp was spotlessly clean throughout our stay , staff were very attentive, anything we needed was possible.
The food at the camp was a basic set menu for all three meals, we only had breakfast and evening meals as we were out during the daytimes.
Our safari into the Masai Mara was fantastic, an amazing experience to remember. made better by seeing the big 5 throughout our three days.
Our guide and driver for our whole trip was Peter who was amazing, who i would recommend to anybody. Very knowledgeable and managed to be in the right place at the right time , allowing us to see everything we wanted. A genuinely lovely guide through our time in Kenya.
We would recommend this trip to anybody and were very happy with the package put together for us for our time in Kenya.
