4-days safari in Maasai Mara and Nakuru
We loved our experience. Our guide (Robert) did everything possible to ensure that we saw as many animals as possible, which was the case. He also answered all of our questions regarding flora ans fauna, and was very patient and kind with us, making sure we were always happy. Would totally recommend! Thanks again Robert!

Top Marks for the Team
I arrived to Nairobi at 3am at a bus stop, I had been travelling for 2 days from Addis, Ethiopia. When I arrived Peter came to pick me up and sorted me a hotel for a few hours to freshen up.
We later had breakfast on the go and he handed me over to my Safari driver/guide John. I had chosen a 4 day Safari with an additional walking safari option. We stopped there first. It was amazing. After a short trip across lake Nakuru, spotting Hippos and fish eagles I was walked through the reserve getting up close and personal with giraffes, wildebeests, zebra's and antelope. We continued onto lake NAIVASHA I think. Accommodations were gorgeous and so was the food. We went on an afternoon game drive saw 3 of the big 5 and had dinner. Started early the next day, breakfast and a morning game drive leaving the park headed to The Masai Mara national reserve. We spent 2 nights at the luxury tented camp site which was divine. Food and service were amazing and there was plenty of action on the game drives, animals get proper close! I also opted to visit a traditional Masai Villige on the way out which was a nice way to end the trip.
All in all the accommodations were spot on, all the food was great, service was better and I saw a lot of animals!
And as a solo female traveller, I always felt safe and that's quite important.
Money well spent for memories that will last a lifetime.

Responsive, Accurate, Pro-active and super helpful
I have been dealing with Sandra from Traipsing, and couldn't recommend her more highly. As I said in the heading, she has been respnsive, accurate, pro-active and super helpful. We organised a 3 days Kruger experience with her, which we have unfortunately had to post-pone due to COVID-19 impacts. But she has been outstanding - firstly in terms of being very responsive in giving us options that were all the right pitch and "on brief" in terms of the type of booking we were seeking, and then in sorting out the booking we chose with detail and clarity at every step. And the when the impacts of COVID-19 really started to bite and we were contemplating a deferral, she beat us to the puch, reaching out to see what we were thinking and what we wished to do. Terrific. I recommend Sandra from Traipsing without hesitation.

At 62 years old one of my top two vacations of all time. Simply wonderful
Everything was excellent with great transportation, two different type camps both unique, wonderful customer service from staffs & Guides were outstanding as saw all Big Five in first 1.5 days of 5 day, 4 night trip. Ute gave us every type of information we could use & was a phone call or text away with anything I had questions on. Got home just before Virus hit the world so may never have been able to do this again. A trip of a lifetime with my only son.
Thanks Ute, You Rock.

Benson Maina provided a knowledgeable and fun experience.
Better experience than I had expected. Benson was a good driver, transported our luggage, good at finding the animals, overnight lodging and meals were great.

Awesome trip to Kenya
We had an absolute great safari experience in Kenya. Kennedy was our driver and he did a great job. His wealth of knowledge and love of Kenya and the animals. We fall in love with the country, and we will come back soon! I can't recommend Sino Africa Safari highly enough.

Best day of my life, at peace in nature
Hello! I’m an American woman and was on business in Dar es Salaam when I met Rodger from Maredori Travel And Tours. I decided to do 2 days 1 night in Mikumi, with a drive back to Dar es Salaam. I absolutely cannot recommend this tour enough. I cared first and foremost about safety, and truly felt taken care of and extremely safe the full length of the tour. Rodger packed water, food, and filled the safari car with gas and off we went! The accommodations in the park were very clean, private, and in fact also breathtaking as I’d wake up to baboons and Impala outside of my window. Rodger, the guide, knew everything about the animals and ecology of the land, I felt like I was in a National Geographic movie! We saw elephants, zebra, tons of lions and cubs, warthogs, giraffes, hippos, and much more. The sunsets in Mikumi are absolutely stunning as well, I’ve never seen skies that colorful and open. Rodger let me stop for plenty of pictures from the safari car and he even took photos of me with the animals in the background. I highly recommend this tour, seriously it is a weekend I’ll never forget. 10 out of 10!!!

Seven Wonders Safari gave us an Amazing experience. Thank you Evelyn and George!
We had a seventeen day safari with Seven Wonders. Words can't describe just how wonderful the experience was or how great Seven Wonders Safaris was. Evelyn and George met us in Rowanda and Nicolas took us to our Gorilla trek. We were there for five days with one day of Gorilla trekking. We did get to see the Gorilla's in the wild and it was an amazing experience. The tourism for the Gorilla's is providing the funding that is helping to preserve their habitat and protect them. We also did a walking tour in Kigali that was very good. We were in Rowanda for 5 days and flew to Arusha for another 12 days driving with George. He was AMAZING. One of the kindest men you will ever meet. His Love, Knowledge and Passion for the animals and joy at being able to share them with his guests was evident in his every action. His ability to spot animals at great distances while navigating rough roads was uncanny. He has some sort of Spidy sense! He wanted to take us off the beaten paths and give us a more authentic experience.
We went back and forth with Evelyn early on to customize our trip and accommodations. She was wonderful to work with and delivered an incredible experience. We wanted a local, smaller, Tanzanian based safari company and feel so lucky that we entrusted this once in a life time experience with Seven Wonders Safari's!
Advice;
We upgraded a few hotels and were very happy with our accommodations but I would discuss having hotels close to the game drives or even tented camps closer to the game drives.
Make sure the company does not have mileage limits. Seven Wonders does not but some companies limit how many miles their guides can drive. This can mean that you may not get out away from the crowds.
Bring more cash for tipping. Small bills, lots of 5's. You can easily go through $1,000 a week in tips. And if you get George as your guide you will want to tip him as much as you can......
Thank You Evelyn and George, from the bottom of our hearts. If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!
