Great experience
We booked a 6 days budget safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli for two. Great price, did all as promised. Food, water, accomodation were very good. The driver, Stanley, was very nice except for the first day in Masai Mara when he was late, half asleep, didn't talk much..but he made it up later in the tour. Mark organised our tickets to continue to Mombasa from Emali, and gave as a free ticket.
We also booked a two days to Hell's gate and mt. Longonot, it was very nice and more than I expected. Good trekking and cicling, a bit of exercise. Mt longonot is not that easy. We had a private driver, Peter, he was really nice.
I had an extra week on my own, so I decided to do a 5 days trekking to mt Kenya. I wanted a group but it ended up to be just me with the guide and cook. It was a great experience! I wasn't very prepared but everything went fine. This last tour wasn't as organised as I wanted. Poor communication between Mark and the guide. Not sure how many days it was going to take, if food was included, if I had a sleeping bag, guiere.. everything at last minute. But everything went smoothly in the end. Charly and Jhon were very nice, great food, great experience!
We also decided to go with them because it's a Kenyan company. Totally recommended !

Amazing Memorable Experience
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!

Review about Mikumi National Park by Lindsay Prescott
Mikumi was a lovely place to visit and I had a great time seeing all the animals. The only problem was the long drive to get there, which can't be helped, and it would have been nice to have some free time so we could go in the pool and then back into the park in the afternoon.

Review about Savuti by Tina
Saw most the lions here; campsite seemed more isolated; quite dry when we came here so not much scenery.

Review about Moremi Game Reserve by Tina
This was my favorite campsite! The scenery was amazing; not too far from the gate and abundance of wildlife!

Once-in a lifetime- experience
My friend and I had an amazing time basking in nature and learning from Thosu, our guide, and Russell, our chef.
We saw so much wildlife within the 4 nights/5 days we stayed camping in Moremi/Savuti/Chobe. Thosu and Russell made sure we felt comfortable and safe. They were accommodating about our vegetarian/vegan diet, as well. I was in awe at their breadth of knowledge and being able to tell what bird we just spotted only by looking at its flight pattern—even without binoculars!
The highlight was being in the quiet of nature and waking up to the sounds of elephants eating leaves off trees around us and seeing hippos in a nearby stream. Our guides always made our safety of the utmost priority.
I highly recommend this Safari and the services of Thosu and Russell.

Adventure Makers will make sure every detail is just right. I wouldn't book with anyone else
Stephen (the owner/operator) was so easy to book with and he answered all our questions very promptly. He even met us at our hotel when we arrived and again on the last day before our departure which was very nice and personable. Kiaka was our tour guide for a 5 day safari. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Kiaka was soft spoken, so kind, very patient and so so knowledgable. We joked that he had magic because we would tell Kiaka what animals we wanted to see and he would go find them. We stayed at Mbugani Tented Camp which was so beautiful. The food was also amazing and they have hot showers/bathrooms inside your tent (towels included) at Mbugani. The staff were so helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend booking a safari with Adventure Makers Tanzania. I hope to go on another safari and I plan to book with Adventure Makers again.
