Warmly recommended
I went on a 8-day safari (Amboseli – lake Nakuru – Masai Mara) with Seven by Far starting 1 January 2021 and recommend them warmly should you plan a trip to Kenya.
On the administrative side, Sylvester, who came to personally great me at the airport, was always very responsive and prompt in answering, whatever the day and hour of my emails which was very impressive - and also very welcome, as my trip was decided quite last minute. Sylvester first offered an attractive quote and was thereafter flexible and accommodating with all my requests. He made several very appreciated commercial gestures – accommodation upgrades, an included hot air balloon ride, a better vehicle. In addition, he made a specific call to the lodge in Amboseli to ensure that I had a view on Mt Kilimanjaro. I would also like to emphasize that although my wire payment did not go through quickly (unusual banking delays), Sylvester nevertheless made all the arrangements, always kept his cool and never questioned the trip.
On the field, I was most lucky to be taken care of by Ken, who was my guide and driver. Not only a great driver, Ken was knowledgeable, professional, patient, positive, cheerful. And he proved to be tireless! He never flinched despite the very full and extensive exploring days I had asked for (and the many accompanying meal boxes ahahah).
Ken was extremely dedicated to ensuring the best sightings and allowed us to take our time in observation. He endeavored to find the desired animals and proved to be a bit of a magician in this regard. We covered a lot of ground and were rewarded with many fascinating sightings – lions (oh this particular pride feasting on a very freshly killed buffalo!), cheetahs (and babies), beautiful female leopard (and a baby). Not to mention the white rhinos (with babies, too) as well as the many elephants playing, wrestling, suckling, including twins! The big five were achieved, and many more, including the serval cat; different types of giraffes; or the bat-eared fox I had never seen in any of my previous safaris. Many antelopes too, of course. And those beautiful landscapes to indulge on. In a nutshell, Ken puts the guests’ satisfaction first and does a great job at it.
Seven by Far team was also reactive, efficient and calm when it came to solving some material hiccups along the way.
As a conclusion, Seven by Far is reliable and trustworthy. All that was promised was delivered, and even more.
My safari in Kenya was an enchanting parenthesis in these difficult times and provided a most welcome source of splendid memories, for which I am grateful.

Outstanding 6 day Safari in Kenya
We could not have been happier with our experience in Kenya. From Esther's professionalism, clear and timely answers to our questions before arriving in Kenya, to the perfect match of Tom (our guide) to our family's needs - it made our first Safari experience a memorable one. This being Covid times, they even facilitated our mandatory test (without impact on our visit schedule) required for our flight back home.
Esther was very attentive to our needs and the recommended accommodation (catering for a family of 5) exceeded our expectations (we stayed at the Cliff, Naivasha Sopa spa & resort and Masai Mara Game reserve).
Our guide, Tom, was very knowledgeable about animals and Kenya, great with the kids, very flexible around our needs and accommodating to our schedule, which is crucial when you have 3 young kids in tow. We got to see all the animals we were looking to see and more, and from much closer than expected.
I fully recommend Estleon for a Kenyan Safari and couldn't have more praise for Tom our guide. My only regret is not spending an extra night at the Cliff - perfect set up amongst a very uncrowded reserve.
Awesome package
Thanks so much Kubwa Five Safaris, I enjoyed the trip, but mostly I enjoyed the boat ride although I still wonder whether it was necessary to wear the protective jacket given there are hippos and crocodiles…Hahahaha, I am so happy I saw all the BIG Five on this trip.
I am very impressed with the services offered by Kubwa Five Safaris. Keep it up, make more Ugandans see what we have in our country.
Excellent services
I enjoyed the trip. Well organized by Maureen. Thank you for the good services
Our designated driver/guide was friendly and pleasant throughout the trip, giving running commentaries en-route about landmarks and ensured that we got to see as much of the wildlife in the park.
They were seriously on point; no waste of time and there was great fluidity from one activity to the next. They worked round the clock to make sure we were back home.
Being the first time trying, i cannot regret a thing, I give Bovid 10/10
Overall they are flexible and the price is very reasonable.

Overwhelmed by the service!
Lifetime safari! Simply perfect. To me, this was all about animals and culture and I was overwhelmed by how much I was able to see - more than whar I expected. Thanks go to our guide who was so quick to locate and spot animals - even the most elusive ones. I think wasn't just luck but we were in the company of the best guide and agency.

Great Round trip!
Uganda is such a nice country, with so much to see and do! Unfortunately, we had to cut our trip short and not continue to Rwanda due to corona virus pandemic, but that was not Standard Safaris' fault. We were a big group of 8 adults and our guides (Charles and Stella) always made sure every thing is in order and organized all activities and enroute experiences seamlessly! I had never taken such a comfortable and hassle-free safari, right from the booking process up to the end of the tour. We definitely recommend!

Kilimanjaro + 5 days Safari.
Kilimanjaro:
Excellent service provided by guides - Peter & Alex. Always on time, clear communication, very helpful. Motivated us to reach the summit, adjusted the pace of climb to our capabilities. Showed us a lot of interesting plants, explained their usage. They were always very cheerful, we felt really well with their companion. Very good chef Daniel, we were surprised by diversity of dishes prepared given the difficult mountain conditions.
All the team did a really good job.
Safari - Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro.
Good, friendly driver and chef.
We have seen all large mammals we dreamed of. We liked Serengeti and Ngorongoro best.
