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.

Everything went smoothly and the guides were friendly and helpful
It was easy to communicate he answered all the questions very patiently, arrived at night to pick us up, helped with all the stuff we needed. Everything was as expected and the price wasn't high. We got to see all the animals. The only thing that bugged us was the other couple that went to the safari with us, but we had fun never the less.

Great communication to meet your Safari desires with best camps/lodges and knowledgeable fun guides.
Responsive communications with the owner. She does whatever necessary to meet your Safari desires and the best camps/lodges in your price range. They meet you at the airport on arrival and take you to your lodging. They recommend a day of rest to adjust to time difference and meet with you to go over the plan for your Safari and discuss your preference for game drive times. Flash will arrange for a balloon Safari and make necessary reservations. Magda does her best to make sure your Safari is unforgettable. Her guides for game drives are knowledgeable and observant to make sure you don’t misss a thing. This is our second Safari with Flash and if there is a third we will definitely book with Magda’s Flash Safaris & Photography.

Excellent!
I went with Ulinda Safari Trails on a 10-day safari from Kasane to Maun in September 2018 - a trip that will last long in my memory. Jane and her team did an outstanding job. The four different campsites we stayed in were beautiful and the tents very comfortable (-even with an en-suite pit toilette to them!). We saw so much wildlife and our guides always had a very good intuition where we might be able to view something special. My favourite moments were watching a huge herd of buffalos striding into the sunrise, a lyon family feasting on a buffalo and a hyena stealing the prey of two very disappointed leopards.
The food: Oh, the food! I have no idea how the team managed to cook all these tasty dishes in the bush. But there was a lot of variety and even freshly baked bread. A very nice touch were the Gin and Tonic sundowners and later in the evening beer and wine around the campfire, accompanied by Jane’s amusing stories from her years as a tourguide.
The vehicles were perfect for travelling longer distances between the campsites and the open roof allowed for some 360° views when on game drives. Since there are no more than 4 people in a vehicle, everyone had a window seat.
I highly recommend Jane and her team and hope to return one day! Thanks so much!
