Truly unique and once in a lifetime experience
My husband and I joined two of our close friends in Tanzania for a 10 day wildlife + Zanzibar beach tour, run by Magufwa Safaris. It was such an amazing holiday. We saw incredible wildlife on our Safari: Wildebeasts, zebra, lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, giraffe and more! The environment itself was stunning and made you really take a moment to appreciate our fragile planet. Our guide, Leonce, was terrific - very knowledgeable and great company. The highlight of the trip was definitely staying at the Hippo Trails Camp in the Seregeti were you sleep amongst the wildlife with superb hospitality. The team running the camp were so welcoming and warm and made our stay there such a delight.
We spent the last few days relaxing on Zanzibar at Blue Bay Hotel. The ocean views were stunning and napping under the sun listening to the waves was the perfect way to end our tour.
Overall our experience was amazing and very special -- I cannot recommend Tanzania enough!

Everything went well and as agreed
It was very easy to arrange the safari, communication was quick, easy, and all questions were answered. And when the time for the safari itself arrived, everything went as planned.
As for Nottens Bush Camp itself, it's a great camp, with good rooms, good food and excellent service. But be aware that there are no electrical lights in the rooms, so they're very dark. I wish the bathrooms were more properly illuminated.

Wonderful safari with a real personal touch!
Usually, I am not the type of person to write reviews; however, for this company, I am making an exception without any doubt. From the get-go, Seven by Far Tours has proven to be a very professional and service oriented partner; Sylvester responded rapidly to our requests and put together an itinerary about which my travel buddy and myself got really excited.
Upon arrival, we were immediately picked up from the airport and brought to our hotel in Nairobi. From that moment onwards, everything was great. Our guide, Mr. Charles, went out of his way to show us all the national parks had to offer. In short, I can say that I have seen quite a bit of the world; however, this holiday was one of the most amazing holidays of my life, and it was certainly due to the organization Seven by Far tours has put into it! To conclude, if you ever consider booking a safari, contact these guys. You will not regret it for sure!

Wonderful Vacation in Tanzania
My husband, daughter, and I went on a 10 day safari to Tarangire NP Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro Crater. We used Regional Tours and Safaris for the trip and they made the safari a wonderful experience for us. Maturaf helped us create a wonderful itinerary by providing a lot of advice on the best time to visit the the parks and what to expect. He advised us to visit in July when the wildebeests would be crossing the Mara River to go into Kenya. He was also very helpful with the small details like the booking our accommodation, payment of park fees, transport and other logistics.
Our guide Nova was incredibly amazing, excellent at his job, highly experienced and skilled. He was great at locating the animals and he took as close as he could so that we could get great shots. He was very patient with us, especially when my daughter insisted on taking lots of pictures of the animals. Some of his passion even rubbed off on us when he taught us a bit of Swahili. He had a talented eye for birds. He showed us a lot of them and my daughter was happy with the pictures she took of the birds.
The accommodations in the tented camps gave us a feel of Tanzania’s wildlife. We could see the animals roaming from our tents. It was amazing.
I highly recommend Regional Tours and Safaris for your African safari.

Excellent customer care... awesome
I had the privilege of working with Maggie on my holiday planning to Zanzibar in August. I was impressed by her promptness, professionalism, calmness and resourcefulness as I asked very many questions. (I had tried obtaining quotes and recommendations from two other well known agents in Nairobi and was disappointed)... I reached out to Bison safaris with very little expectations and was shocked, in a good way.
Maggie in particular made planning for my holiday (while away from home) smooth and stress free.
My boys and I had a perfect and memorable holiday, asante! Everything was smooth and timely from booking to the flight, to the hotel, to the airport transfers to even follow up after the holiday! I highly, highly recommend the company and urge them to keep up the good work!

Great Experience
We booked our Safari at Lenchada and had a great days experience. The camp was simple but quite okay for the price and the driver was very nice and made sure that we saw all of the animals. Dinner was a buffet of various local food and we really enjoyed. They even gave us an update on the car for a small extra fee.
Thank you for giving us such a lovely experience.

In one word,Priceless
My wife and I visited Kenya August 2019 for the first time with a small group of 6 photographers. What an amazing trip!
Joseph and Tony were extremely knowledgeable of the parks we visited as well as the behavior of the wildlife.
They understand photography and put us in the best positions possible for excellent lighting and composition.
They were also very personable and attentive to any requests.
They even taught us some Swahili !
I highly recommend Joseph and his company

Wonderful wildlife Safari in the northern curcuit
We had an amazing 12 days individual trip with I dream of africa. Looking for a safari company we wrote them our wishes for safari and they arranged us everything. They sent us a tour offer and considered our feedback perfectly. The communication was very fast and clear what we appreceated a lot.
The trip was half camping half tented camps in several national parks. Our guide Ayabu and the cook Gerald picked us up at the Airport and we started our tour immediatly. The camping was very comfortable and meals were super delicious. According to our wishes we spent the whole days on safari. Ayabu showed us the big five (we were lucky to see rhinos and a leopard with baby) and all the other animals. He is a very experienced and professional guide and made that we had such a wonderful and special trip.

Great experience, very caring and helpful staff!
We booked a 4-day group Safari with Safarisoles. The communication with Bryson was perfect! Although it turned out on the first day that we went on the tour with another company (Big5) due to a cancellation, we were still deeply satisfied with the organisation and had a great time with a very experienced and funny guide.
Recommendation: bring warm clothes if you are camping on the Ngorongoro Crater Rim!
