Great Safari Experience with Top-Notch Organization and Service
I recently booked a 5-day safari plus extra with Kilipath Safari, and it was truly a memorable experience from start to finish!
My organizer, Happy, was wonderful. She was remarkably responsive and supportive from the moment I first expressed interest right up until the day I flew out of Tanzania. On a few occasions when things didn't go strictly as planned, Happy stepped in to help right away, whether it was early in the morning or late at night. Probably because Kilipath didn't have enough clients on that day to run a standalone group, she arranged for me to join a tour with Makini Tanzania Safari, which turned out to be a seamless and great arrangement.
Our driver/guide from Makini, Burton (or Baton), was exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable. Between occasional radio contacts with rangers and sharp observation using his binoculars, he consistently found targeted animals and positioned the vehicle in the best possible spot for optimal viewing—all while driving safely. His experience and keen eye made our game drives a highlight of the trip.
We were also accompanied by chef Pascoe (or Pascal). He did a great job preparing a variety of tasty dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was especially nice at lunchtime: while tourists from other companies were eating much simpler (and often cold) meals, we enjoyed solid, delicious hot lunches out in the bush.
On the last day, another guide, Emanuel, came to pick me up and drove me to the Materuni waterfalls and coffee plantation. On our walk to and from the waterfalls, there were some muddy and slippery sections, and Emanuel held my hand to make sure I wouldn't slip. Beyond his thoughtful care, I truly enjoyed our conversations. He is a deeply conscientious, dedicated young man who cares deeply about supporting underprivileged children in society, and I learned so much from him about Tanzanian life.
All in all, I highly recommend both Kilipath Safari and Makini Tanzania Safari for anyone looking for a well-coordinated, personal, and rewarding tour in Tanzania!

Excellent service, listens to you and tailors the tour to your requirements.
From the start the agent want to know what we wanted. Suggested some tours and when we said they weren't quite right took time and effort to make sure we saw what we wanted not some where because that was the normal.
All pick ups a were on time and in comfortable vehicles, the hotels chosen were beautiful. We can not fault this experience and would recommend this operator highly.

The company delivered everything we had agreed upon, both in terms of hotels and tours. Our driver was very responsible and helpful, always making sure to provide information whenever we had questions. I highly recommend this company.

The best safari experience
We booked a four day safari as our first time on a safari.
Lidia was in touch ahead of our arrival to answer any questions and give us more information about the trip. She also met us at our hotel for a pre briefing.
Our guide was Assad, who from the moment he picked us up we knew we’d struck gold with our guide.
On researching safari holidays I had read the guide can make or break the trip and that is certainly the case. We were in a shared safari and Assad did the introductions and shared the plan for the trip.
In two days we’re covered the Big 5. Assad knew each national park like the back of hand and we were the only vehicle to find a leopard, cheetah and her cub and a black rhino. Plus lots of up close sightings of other animals, Assad answered all of our questions and told us a lot about the wildlife. He was respectful to brute keeping his distance and staying on the tracks. He was accommodating to all the groups request. Navigated some unbelievable roads and looked after our every need. Stopped to help another vehicle in need, a genuinely great guy!
When my husband was unwell one day and didn’t feel up to the safari. Lidia and Assad arranged for another vehicle to take him to our planned accommodation that night. Assad had to arrange the paperwork to separate him from the group which wasn’t straight forwards. It was only my birthday whilst on safari and Kilipath arranged for a cake in the accommodation which was a lovely surprise.
I would 100% recommend Kilipath safaris & when we rebook would want to make sure it was with Assad. We’ve had the most amazing stay and cannot recommend Assad and Killipath enough.

An absolutely unforgettable safari with amazing sightings!
The whole safari journey was absolutely stunning. Our guide was wonderful and very experienced. He could anticipate animal movements and always drove us to excellent viewing spots ahead of time.
The hotel arrangements were fantastic too, all located very close to the parks. In Serengeti, we stayed right in the heart of the grasslands. The hotel service and hot‑water supply were excellent.
We were fortunate enough to witness a cheetah hunt as well as a lion pride on a hunt. This trip has exceeded all my expectations – truly worth every moment

Flawless Execution of a Highly Demanding Custom Itinerary! The BEST Safari Operator
If you are looking for a tour operator that can perfectly accommodate a highly customized itinerary, expertly managing 1 to 2-hour time blocks to ensure smooth transitions between activities and efficiently achieving your goals for wildlife, culture, and East African landscapes, look no further than Seven Wonders Safaris! Plus, they can seamlessly arrange an incredible cross-border trip to both Kenya and Tanzania!
We planned a 12-day cross-border safari. As a traveler with high standards, I provided the itinerary we hoped to achieve (covering Amboseli National Park, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park, Lake Natron, Ol Doinyo Lengai, and the Great Rift Valley), filled with well-planned time blocks, specific animal targets (e.g., leopards on sausage trees, Lion King cartoon characters, tree-climbing lions, solitary black rhinos, etc.), specific activities (Tarangire Baobab walking safari, hunting trip with Hadzabe hunters, Maasai village cultural tour, banana plantation cycling & banana beer tasting, viewing the Great Rift Valley, etc.), and daily pre-arrival briefings before dinner for the next day's plan. In a land governed by unpredictable "Africa Time," this was a massive challenge. Yet, Seven Wonders Safaris executed it flawlessly!
💼 Evelyn (Owner): Rigorous and Reliable Responses
Throughout the months of planning and negotiating, Evelyn demonstrated unparalleled patience. I initially assumed that local services in Africa might be a bit loose or casual, but Evelyn proved to be incredibly reliable and rigorous. Her responses were consistently under 24 hours and directly addressed my questions with exactly the answers I needed. Her efficiency and attention to detail actually made me feel like I was communicating with a highly professional Asian customer service team!
Moreover, her speed in checking lodge availability and providing price quotes was outstanding—always replying within 24 hours. Whether it was clarifying the required documents for Kenya and Tanzania visas, ensuring a smooth handover of driver-guides at the Namanga Border, or answering our endless inquiries, she always provided satisfactory and reassuring answers.
🚙 Elifahili (Our Star Driver/Guide): Eagle Eyes and Masterful Positioning
Our driver-guide, Elifahili, was the absolute soul of this trip! He was more than happy to discuss our daily "Game Drive Strategies." Not only did he execute our plan perfectly, but he also used his eagle-like vision to spot countless hidden animals. He knew exactly how to manage time and pacing, adding delightful little surprises to give us a rhythm where we could watch animals to our heart's content, all without making us feel exhausted—absolutely zero "garbage time."
The best part is that he treated us like old friends, mingling with everyone effortlessly. When we were all happy, he would even dance along with us!
Furthermore, his driving skills are phenomenal. On long African drives, you often worry about getting lost or getting flat tires, but his driving was incredibly steady and reassuring. When encountering animals, he always secured the perfect "center stage" (C-position) for us. Whether viewing with the naked eye or taking photos with a phone, we always got the best shots. Impressively, he did this without blocking other safari vehicles, avoiding the complaints and constant repositioning that often ruin the peaceful experience of watching wildlife.
🛣️ Top-Notch Vehicle and Logistics
One of our days involved a notoriously brutal route from Northern Serengeti via Klein's Gate down to Lake Natron. It is an ultimate test for any vehicle. However, the 4x4 Land Cruiser provided by Seven Wonders was in pristine condition, handling the dusty and bumpy roads perfectly, keeping us safe and comfortable.
In conclusion, Seven Wonders Safaris offers incredible flexibility, top-tier guides, and a dedication to making your dreams come true. Highly, highly recommended to anyone with high expectations for their safari!

A true expert in the industry who is attentive and mindful of your budget and delivers on all fronts
We loved working with Kathi from African Welcome Safaris. She was a great communicator and planned a fabulous trip. She was patient as there were four of us traveling and made sure to accommodate all of our requests. She worked within our budget and delivered on all fronts -- from lodges and hotels to flights and guides. The number of days in each location was perfect, which to me as a great indicator of someone who knows how to plan. We truly loved our entire trip, especially Eagle Island Lodge in the Okavango Delta.. I will be sending all my friends and family to Kathi as she did a stellar job planning a truly memorable holiday.
