Trustworthy, thoughtful and wonderful to deal with!
Sevenbyfartravel Safaris from day 1 over a year and a half ago has been so amazing, working with us to provide the exact trip we were looking for and the most wonderful people I have ever met. If you are ever wanting to go to Africa I strongly suggest using them as your travel agent. I contacted over 50 different companies and they blew every one out of the water on price and tailored our itinerary to exactly what we wanted. I can’t thank Ken Sila and his team enough for the best trip I’ve ever had. He went out of his way to meet up with us and make sure we were comfortable and taken care of the whole trip. From our knowledgeable, funny, thoughtful drivers Hassan, Cosmas and Nick who had such a keen eye finding animals and keeping us safe at all times, to Ali at www.bhutentours.com on Zanzibar who spent over half a day with us touring, giving us as much information as we could absorb and having laughs along the way, also meeting and driving us around. Start to finish I felt very safe, saw everything I could imagine and more and met some of the best people in the world!!

Great experiance and local knowledge
All In Tanzania arranged accommodation, food , service car and other logistics for our 2 week motorcycle and safari trip in the north east part of Tanzania, September/October 2018 . Although this was the first time the trip was arranged, everything was working like a charm. Professionally handled with accommodation on arrival on each place on the route, lunch-boxes along the way and necessary support of supplies from service car. Upon unforeseen events (which "sometimes" happens in this area), full attention were given and obstacles solved quickly.
Expectations were high and delivery even higher. Thanks for a great adventure.

kilimanjaro, safari in tanzania parks and zanzibar island
Our trip was incredible and the whole team of Right Choice really made it happen. Communication before our arrival was efficient with Calvin via emails. He always answered quickly to all our questions. From our airport arrival to our final departure, World safari land tours was there to pick us up, to get us where we needed to go and then to make us live extraordinary experiences. Their Kilimanjaro team was truly helpful, so nice and made us feel better in the most difficult moments of the trek. The safari team was also extremely pleasant,as well as being the best at finding hidden animals everywhere in the various parks. We loved every minute of our trip and felt safe with the team. We recommend this company for the service and the price.WORLD SAFARI LAND TOURS, WOW.

Wonderful 7 days of Safari at Tarangere, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Ngorongorong and Arusha NP
We had own apprehensions about Tanzanian Safari in general because our travel agent back in India had very recently entered into tours and travels business. The cost of Tanzanian Safari was too good to be true. Also there is not many websites here from India that offers Tanzanian Safari and often don't disclose finer details about their Safari partners.
We did visit our travel agent's office in India couples of times to get some confidence. Later we mailed African Traits and told them that we will make the payment only once we reach Tanzania and get acquainted with them.
It was nice to see African Traits responding to every mail of ours and accepting requests and answering all our questions.
We had a wonderful time during our 7 days of Safari at Tarangere, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Ngorongorong and Arusha National Park and Noel our Safari Guide/Driver was really nice. We had a good cook who asked for our suggestion everyday on what needs to be cooked.
We are vegetarians and it did make cook's life difficult because of constrained menu. But he was co-operative enough to cook us vegetarian food every meal. We had also got some homemade food and instant food; which the cook was happy to heat/boil every time we asked for.
On our final day we met African Traits manager who took our feedback and was courteous enough to provide us complementary luxury accommodation for freshening up before boarding our late night flight.
I will definitely recommend African Traits to everyone.

Excellent pre and during the tour.
Our contact person, Angela, followed us step by step and was always quick to respond to our requests. The tuor was amazing and well organized.
Beautiful accommodations. Small inconveniences, not dependent on Tailor, resolved immediately.
No surprises for extra costs. Strongly recommended

Don’t waste your time looking at any other safari company!
Pendo was super efficient in responding to queries, reassuring and extremely helpful in the planning stages. She was just as lovely when we met her on arrival at Ilboru Lodge.
All accommodation out-shone our expectations.
The Safari experience could not have been better. Mainly down to our guide Peter who seemed to instinctively know where to head to get the best views & was knowledgable and enabled us to see The Big Five when many other people we encountered hadn’t.
This was our first visit to Africa and first safari. It all ran like clockwork and we truly felt cared for by Benson Safaris.
DO NOT HESITATE TO USE THEM. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Family Trip
Our holiday with Gilbert as tourguide is one I will never forget. He had lots of knowledge, his English was excellent and it really seemed like he was enjoiing the jouney as well. Good memories.

Great experience!
We did the 4 day Classic Kruger Safari with this very professional company. Excellent communication, answered all my questions very promptly by email! Payment was very easy. We did our safari in a closed vehicle due to poor weather. At first we did wonder if we would feel less ‘at one’ with nature in a closed vehicle, but overall this made it more comfortable for us. We did however go in an open truck on the night time safari (on our last night). We saw a huge variety of animals! Big 5 didn’t take long to tick off. Our guide (Hoppy) has excellent knowledge about the animals and is a master at spotting animals from very very far away! Going in October was perfect because it’s not too busy (fewer cars in the park = better chance at getting a good view of the spotted animals!). Also the animals were out and about more (it wasn’t too hot so the animals weren’t away hiding in the shade). The accommodation is pretty basic but always clean, comfortable, and with air conditioning.
My only two recommendations: a bit more down time to ourselves would have been nice (i.e. dinner or lunch to ourselves); and a chilly bin in the vehicle to keep our drinks cool.
Overall we had an unforgettable experience and would definitely recommend this company!

Adventure of a lifetime
Our three-day Masai Mara safari experience was everything we hoped and more. Booking, communications, transport and logistics - everything was smooth and according to our needs and wishes. Our guide Sami was fantastic - an endless source of knowledge and stories, and with a very pleasant personality. He went out of his way to give us the best and most varied experience, and made sure we got the best view whenever we stopped for a closer look. We were extremely happy to have him as our guide.
Another highlight was the early morning balloon ride with subsequent champagne breakfast. It was nothing short of spectacular to see from above the herds of wildebeest and zebras make their way across the savannah on their way back to the Serengeti (we caught the tail end of the migration). Totally recommend it.
The accommodation at Ashnil Lodge was fine, with friendly staff; the food was good, though not fantastic.
We also went for the "optional visit to a Masai village" on our way back, but would not recommend it: a rip-off and total tourist trap.
All in all: our safari with Classic Journeys Africa was the adventure of a lifetime.
