Great animals and people
The Safari was amazing! Not only did we see lots of animals, it was also possible to get really near them e.g. lionesses.
The accomodation was great and I strongly recommend to book the camping as shelter for the night, because you can hear the animals in the nigth quite good while sleeping is still very comfortable. Also I met great people both in my accomodation and in the Safari car I was driving in. The drivers werde also good and I felt safe during the drives. All in all the service was great and I would strongly recommend it to others

Our tour operator provided us with the best guides ever!
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip in Africa - Kenya and Uganda. Our guides Patrick and Dalson made sure about this - they were very attentive, reliable throughout and did all they could to make sure we had the best holiday possible. I would definitely recommend them.
I preferred Uganda while my friend preferred Kenya. My choice is due to the fact that the programme was more at leisure and more varied in activities - Kenya had some early starts and long hours in jeep and heat; I would have liked a little more time to settle into a hotel and chill a bit especially since the accommodation the tour operator chose for us were great. I would have done either lake Nakuru or Amboseli in a week's trip - not both. Probably would choose Nakuru as less driving. But, I know my friend would want to do it all once again so it does depend on personal differences.
The accommodation was good, comfortable, and clean throughout the trip. The food and service were also very good too. The accommodation close to Bwindi was a bit lower in standards - mostly in terms of the service, lack of warm water, poor lighting, and internet.
Transportation - I hated that mountain road to see the gorillas but I guess that can't be helped :). It is recommended to have a proper safari jeep rather than a van.
Some points for reference:
1. US dollars are preferred and only the new ones are accepted - and papers need to be flat, clean - no tears, no gem marker etc.
2. Despite paying a lot for this trip (a 2 week trip in Africa has cost us as much if not more than anywhere else in the world including the US/Canada; Central and South America; Asia) one is still expected to fork out in tips .... daily.
3. Take some clothes, and sweets for the kids waving by the roadside.
4. Check all plans in detail with the tour operator beforehand since we had one or two miscommunications. However, these were rectified. Communication was regular prior to the trip and the guides could easily contact the operator during the trip.
5. Try to go to a local dance/performance show, it is worth it!

You won't be disappointed choosing Sevenbyfar for safari
Me and my wife booked a 8 day safari covering Ambesoli, Lake Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara. Overall experience was truly amazing and memorable. Thanks to Sylvester and Sylvia for the itinerary and the accommodations.
Safari -- We are so happy with our tour guide Eric :) He is truly an amazing person who listens to customers. I am a hobby photographer(Here are our pics from the tour https://www.instagram.com/clix.by.yash/ ) and told him the things we are interested in looking at and capturing. He tried his best to show most of the animals at every park. Glad that our Big5 checklist got ticked. Along with big 5 we have seen many other animals. Other thing we loved is the boat ride and walking safari at Lake Naivasha. Don't miss the hot air balloon ride in Masai Mara. Simply if you get Eric as your tour guide, you can trust him to be the best guide.
Vehicle -- Ours is a private safari and the vehicle 4*4 land cruiser was in very good condition. It has power adapters as well so that one need not worry about dead batteries.
Stay - We stayed at Kibo safari camp at Amboseli, Mbweha camp near Nakuru and Sekenani camp at Masai Mara. We requested a room with Kilimanjaro view at Kibo and it was such a beautiful view. Mbweha camp is also an amazing place to stay. All the stays are clean and I highly recommend Kibo and Mbweha. Staff were very friendly and they took good care of us.
Food - We both are vegetarian and all the stays were happy to prepare some special food for us. It was tasty. :)
On the last day, we had a great lunch at Red ginger restaurant and then visited Giraffe center(Don't miss this) and Karen blixen museum.
We would definitely want to visit Africa again and looking forward to travel with Seven by far again.

Best Safari experience in Tanzania
Guides are very knowledgeable and make extra effort so that you witness the wildlife in its raw form. Would recommend booking a trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro with them. Cost is reasonable too as compared to other operators

The safari was amazing, our guide Felix was perfect, we have seen a lot of animals!
The Safari Wakanda Tours was really a highlight of our Tanzania trip. The handling and organization in advance was very uncomplicated via WhatsApp, all questions were answered quickly. The payment ran via Revolut, similar to Paypal, also very simple. We initially had to pay only part of the full price, which we felt was very fair. However, there was no kind of contract or "official confirmation". Irritated us at first, but is probably normal.
About the safari itself: For us, the four days were perfect, we would not have needed more, because we - so we think - have seen everything important and at some point the thousandth zebra is boring yet ;) best we liked the Ngorongoro Crater, here you really see animals at every corner, a true paradise and very different, beautiful landscapes.
Personal highlight was our guide Felix! We could not have imagined a better guide. He made every effort to take us to the best places and to observe the animals as close as possible. He gave us so much interesting information - whether about animals, plants or the country, he knew the answer to everything! All this in a very good English. At the end of the tour we saw all the Big Five (even if the rhino only from a distance) and much more besides!
In addition, wan some days our own cook went with us, who always prepared fresh dishes for us. If he was not there, we got everything in a big box. Fresh pancakes in the morning, freshly baked bread, a hot meal at noon, there were even three courses in the evening, all good, fresh, local food.
In general, everyone we had contact with was incredibly nice, there was always someone coming to help us.
About the accommodations: You have to move away a bit from the usual standards. The first accommodation (Fig Tree Lodge) was great by African standards, clean, hot water, bed with mosquito net. During the other nights we slept on campsites in the national parks. In Ngorongoro Crater there were no normal toilets, only outhouses. However, the camp was divided into two parts, on the other side the washrooms were a bit better equipped, and we could use those. Also, the rides between the parks can last for several hours and can be very bumpy. I would not recommend this tour to people with back problems, but we didn't mind.
All in all: if you have a little more budget, I would recommend to book lodges to have a little more comfort. But if you don't mind the camps, you are well advised with this trip, price-performance ratio is absolutely right and the organization, hospitality and knowledge of our guide have surpassed everything. :)

Super Eagles will go above and beyond in ensuring they deliver good service to their customers.
I used Super Eagles to book my flight from Kenya to Canada.It was my first time traveling and I wasn’t sure which airlines to fly with.Richard and the team made sure I picked a flight with less layovers and an affordable flight.Furthermore,I had the comfort of knowing that I could always call them in case I faced any flight delays during the trip which luckily I dint.I highly recommend Super Eagles Tours and Travels.

An all-round great place for a holiday. Wonderful coast, amazing safaris and delightful people.
The beaches are beautiful and hotels excellent. Perfect for families or couples. The people are very friendly and welcoming and the service is wonderful as is the food.
There is a choice of safari destinations, each one distinct and special in its own way. The Masai Mara stands out as the top safari destination with guaranteed sightings of everything except rhino. We had a wonderful safari driver, safe and very knowledgeable. The accommodation was very good too.
Naivasha can easily be visited for a couple of days, driving from Nairobi and offers more exciting sightings and activities such as Hells Gate National Park and Crescent Island where one can walk with giraffe, zebras and antelopes.
Nakuru has guaranteed rhino and some flamingoes.
Do your research: Use recommended local companies to support them and save money.
