Saw everything I wanted to see
I did the 4 day 3 night Maasai Mara and Nakuru. My guide was Kikitu and I really feel he went out of his way to get us up close to all the animals. He was constantly on the radios talking with other guides who would alert him where to go. The vehicle was comfortable enough. I will admit that the extra day (and extra ~$200 cost) for Nakuru was mostly not worth it. It’s mainly to see the rhino so if you’re reading this weigh the cost. $200 to see the rhino. Some people saw the rhino in Maasai but we did not. The boat ride in Lake Naivasha was def not worth it at all. I paid $20 extra to do it. Absolutely not worth it.
Still I am very happy with the overall experience and my first and possibly only safari. We saw many giraffes, elephants, lions, baboons, zebras, and even saw a cheetah and leopard which are tough to see. Saw some rhinos at Nakuru.
All the accommodations were very nice and the food was fine.

Family like team who takes care of you and enjoys the safari as much as you do yourself
In 2014, I booked a safari with Six and Seven Tours, covering Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. At the time, I wasn’t sure what to expect—my budget was limited, and I worried that affordability might mean cutting corners. But looking back, I can say without hesitation that this was one of the most rewarding trips I’ve ever taken, and much of that was thanks to the professionalism and care of Six and Seven Tours.
Food: In the mornings we got a warm breakfast with eggs and pancakes and some coffee. They made sure we had a good start for the day. We always went straight for the next game drive so we got a big package for Lunch with us. The food was always enjoyable, eaten picnic-style near a hippo pool with a view that felt straight out of a documentary. In the evenings we got another warm meal prepared by our cook and we were always amazed about the range of different menues!
The Safari:
The Lake Manyara National Park is smaller compared to the Serengeti, but it had a surprising variety of landscapes. The birdlife was incredible, and we even managed to spot the park’s famous tree-climbing lions. Our guide from Six and Seven Tours was knowledgeable and patient—he seemed to have an eye for spotting wildlife long before we did, and he explained everything in a way that made the park come alive.
The Serengeti is where the magic really unfolds. I had dreamed about the endless plains for years, but seeing them in person was beyond anything I imagined. Herds of wildebeest and zebra stretched endlessly to the horizon, and we even had close encounters with lions and cheetahs. Six and Seven Tours organized stays in safe camps in the middle of the Serengeti and honestly, falling asleep to the sounds of lions roaring in the distance was something money can’t buy.
Then there was the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Descending into the crater early in the morning, with mist rising off the rim, felt surreal. Within just a few hours, we saw elephants, rhinos, flamingos, and even a pride of lions and their cups. The sheer density of wildlife was astonishing. Once again, our guide made the experience even richer, explaining animal behaviors and the unique ecosystem of the crater.
Six and Seven Tours handled everything for us and made a this trip unforgettable. They kept us safe, informed, and well taken care of. They managed to balance affordability with genuine quality, something I truly appreciated as a traveler who couldn’t afford luxury lodges but still wanted a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Looking back, I’m incredibly thankful to Six and Seven Tours for their service. Their dedication, warmth, and professionalism made me feel like more than just a customer—they made me feel like part of the journey. Even today, years later, I still think back on that trip with gratitude.
If you’re looking for a safari that doesn’t compromise on experience, I can wholeheartedly recommend Six and Seven Tours. They gave me a trip I’ll never forget.

Amazing experience with the team
From day one to the end of the Safari, everything was perfect. Halima, my first contact, was incredibly patient and caring. James, who picked me up from the airport, made me feel at home right away, even treating us to roasted corn on the way.
Nestor, my driver and now a friend, went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed every moment.
Travel Africa is truly the best choice — amazing service, great prices, and wonderful people like Halima, James, Nestor, and Muhammad. I’ll definitely travel with them again!

“Perfect Safari – Seamless Planning & Exceptional Guiding!”
We had the most amazing safari in Maasai Mara and Amboseli for 6 days with Baboon Budget Safaris. The team, especially Ms. Jemima and Ms. Elsenbrown, were wonderful from the start — responsive, patient, and caring in every detail of planning.
Our guide Mr. Anthony was the heart of our experience. With his keen eye, deep understanding of wildlife, and outstanding driving skills, we enjoyed incredible sightings of lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and many more. His timing and knowledge of routes made each game drive special.
Beyond his skills, Anthony’s friendly nature, sense of humor, and genuine care made the safari unforgettable. By the end, he felt like brother.
We highly recommend Baboon Budget Safaris for anyone looking for a professional, personal, and truly memorable safari experience.

Excellent
What an amazing experience we all had, from the initial enquiry and correspondence from the office staff to the advice about places to stay in different budgets and the parks themselves, just faultless.
What absolutely stands out though is the guide Bonface. He was just superb and made the experience so wonderful. He was outstanding at animal spotting and giving us information about what we were seeing, he was an excellent driver and navigator allowing us to relax and enjoy the adventure knowing we were in safe hands. Above all though he was also an amazing people reader and we had just the right amount of time with each animal and bird. We were never left wishing for more. All four of us cannot praise him highly enough for facilitating the perfect safari.
We would not hesitate to recommend your company and choice of guide staff to anyone and are already telling people how superb you are.
Thank you Spirit of Kenya for the trip of a lifetime, although, I do hope that we get to return.

William was great and very knowledgeable.
This was an amazing experience and it was thanks to everyone at Enjoyable Nature Safaris. To begin, the Food was incredible and I am very picky with my food. The staff were very friendly and everything was well organized. William was our tour guide and he was great and helped us see all the animals and took his time to make sure we got to see for however long we wanted. The camp site is in a good location and it was very clean and safe. Fanu was very helpful in organizing and making sure everything went as planned. One thing this company does very well is prioritize the customer and their experience. I was scared to book with a smaller company but it was the best decision I did. They made sure I got the most out of my trip and I would absolutely book with them again when I return to the serengeti and ngorongoro.

Family Safari Experience - 6 nights/7 days
Ernest Magic Tour Review
I am turning 40 and wanted to do something special to celebrate. My mum (from Canada) has been wanting to go to Africa on safari and I realised this would be an awesome experience. Since my family and I live in Australia, Tanzania seemed like the perfect middle ground and safe country to do our safari in.
It was overwhelming when trying to pick a company to do our safari with. There are so many to choose from but after weeks of research, I learned more about Ernest’s background and decided to choose his company for our 6 night, 7 day safari with my mum and two children. From start to finish, the process was so smooth thanks to Regina who was exceptional with communication and ensured our trip was exactly what we hoped for in terms of our activities and accommodations. We could not fault her choices.
Whilst Ernest wasn’t our driver, Erick, our guide, was incredible. He is an Arusha local and has been guiding for over a decade. He was so patient, professional and was great with my kids. He made us all feel so safe and comfortable. Erick’s experience on safari had us spotting 4/5 of the Big 5 animals on our first day, within our first hour or two after landing (we flew into Northern Serengeti from Arusha - best idea ever with kids to eliminate some of the driving).
Erick made the trip a once in a life time experience for our family and something that we will never forget. He was a wealth of knowledge and answered the never ending questions that my kids had. We are SO happy that we chose Ernest Magic Tours for our family safari trip in Tanzania. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a small, tailored experience where the staff go above and beyond to ensure you have a great time.

Unforgettable safari experience thanks to Kapande!
Kapande made our Nyerere safari absolutely unforgettable. His deep knowledge of Tanzania’s wildlife and nature is impressive, and he always shared it with enthusiasm. He drove us safely everywhere, making sure we spotted incredible animals, and kept us comfortable the entire time. His smile and positive energy made the journey even more enjoyable. Truly above and beyond!

We had a very impressive trip along with our driver Dickson, he's very patient and kind, we saw many beautiful animals in Masaimara because of him. I sincerely recommend Dickson as the guide of safari.
