Best Zimbabwe bush trip with Manapools.com
You cannot make a mistake going with Manapools - for knowledge, detailed planning, vehicle maintenance, hosting and agility. These guys know what they do. Our family group of 6 had a great time on safari with knowledgeable guide cum driver and camp assistant Bevan. This is about authentic safari's in Africa for real. The linkup with Sailing with Elephants on Lake Kariba is an innovative diversion in the trip, making for great diversity of experiences.

Extraordinary guide!
The beginning of our two plus week African adventure started in Kenya. We were picked up by Daniel, our guide for a 3 night, four full days tour of Masai Mara at our Nairobi hotel having arrived late the prior evening. The education/adventure started immediately as we traveled to Olengoti Eco Safari Camp in the Masai Mara. Our's was a private safari so we essentially spent all our daylight hours as well as predawn and post sunset with our guide - Daniel. He was informative, entertaining and continuously sensitive to our wants and needs throughout our time together. A proud Kenyan and terrific host and ambassador for his country. A great sense of where the game was and he seemed to be respected, if not reveared, by his fellow guides. We saw all but Rhinos (in protected areas after inordinate poaching during Covid). When things got crowded at big cat viewings, he was able to insert us respectfully but strategically for great viewing and had an uncanny sense of where the game was moving so often we arrived to the next location before anyone else. He arranged several side trips for us, all of which were well worth while. Can't recommend him highly enough!

Amazing Safari Experience Despite Vehicle Issues
We enjoyed the stunning nature in Tarangire, Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. The food was excellent, especially thanks to our friendly cook Dixon, who prepared delicious meals for us every day during the camping days. Camping among wild animals is a truly unique experience.
Unfortunately, the safari didn’t go entirely smoothly due to technical issues with the jeep (including problems with the brakes and tires), which caused us to lose valuable time. However, the management in Arusha took our feedback seriously, offered their apologies, and provided a small compensation.
All in all, it was a great experience, but with a better vehicle, it would have been truly perfect. A big plus of Seven Wonders Safaris is their smooth communication — they always responded quickly to emails and WhatsApp messages and were very helpful in planning the trip.

Well-Organized Kenyan Safari with Stunning Parks and Excellent Guides
We booked a 12-day safari through Seven Wonders Safaris, with the Kenya portion operated by Super Eagles. We visited the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli – all stunning parks. The accommodations were very good, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Our guide and driver Benson deserves special praise: friendly, knowledgeable, and a safe driver. Thanks to him, we saw many animals and always felt in good hands. For the days in Amboseli, we transferred to a different vehicle and had Edwin as our guide and driver.
The organization responded well to the situation in the country. Due to protests, our hotel in Nakuru was changed last-minute to a safer location outside the city – a very professional adjustment.
The only downside was the cancellation of the visit to Lake Naivasha and the planned boat trip. We were only informed on the day itself, which was disappointing as we had really been looking forward to it. We would have preferred to know this in advance.
All in all, we look back on a very successful and well-organized safari week in Kenya. Highly recommended!

Truly and the best Company you could book with!!
I am so glad I decided to book with Sky View Adventure!!! Paul, my booking agent, was extremely helpful in making sure everything was set up and ready to go before I departed to Tanzania! He went above and beyond by assuring I had rides everywhere I went and didn’t have to worry about finding a taxi, he booked extra excursions to Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Activities, and he would frequently check up on me through WhatsApp. Then I had Innocent, the safari guide! He was so knowledgeable on all of the animals and everything regarding Northen Tanzania National parks!! I would also like to thank Raphael their airport transfer expert for riding me from spot to spot and being so kind!! I can really tell that this company really cares about their Clients!! Thank you for being such gracious Company!!

A safari experience that will leave you with so many special memories
I am not quite sure I can sum up my experience in a couple sentences, but I could not recommend Suricata Safaris more! They truly were the best! Our safari guide Rocky was so knowledgeable about the history of the national parks and the animals who call these parks home. His energy was contagious and kept us engaged and laughing. We were able to see the Big 5 and tons of lions, elephants, zebras, hippos up close. In addition to the animals, the food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was just spectacular, thanks to our chef Tito. Each meal was packed with flavor and local spices, with fresh fish, pilau, fruit, and much more. You won't regret booking with Suricata Safaris, I would go back in a heartbeat!

Both of my climbs with Genes Adventures were full of safety, fun, and so much love.
My first trip with Genes Adventures was climbing Kilimanjaro in July 2023. Genes and I bonded quickly and my friendship with him became one of the best parts of my trip. When the group got tired, his positive energy lifted everyone up. Constantly singing songs and teaching us fun Swahili phrases. I enjoyed my climb with Genes so much that in January 2025 I asked him to lead me up Mount Kenya! And Genes Adventures made it happen!! The trip was well priced and he gave us all the information we needed to prepare for the climb. I’d recommend Genes Adventures to anyone who wants a safe climb full of “Mambo Vipi” and “Hakuna Matata” !!!!

Amazing experience with Abner Safaris!
Our private safari with Abner Safaris was absolutely amazing and memorable. They were very professional, punctual and friendly. The guide explained the nature and wildlife to us throughout the journey, and every moment was thrilling. From the jeep ride, to the close-up view of the animals, to the breathtaking sunset, everything made our safari one of the best experiences of our lives.
