The best wild experience!
We spent 5 days/nights with Sox and Maps and this was a wonderful experience.
We saw big 5, slept in a tent in wild (quite thrilling!!), had very tasty food (Maps cooked for us) and enjoyed Botswana very much.
Sox is a very knowledgable guide, a good person, very well educated, so we discussed a lot of topics about history, economics and even politics :))
We definitely recommend Sox and his team to everyone who wants to have a great experience in Botswana!
Thank you Sox!
Say hello to Maps (I will always remember moroho :)))
Excellent! Was pleasantly surprised to get a bouquet of flowers from Crispin. God bless you!
One of my bags didn’t land with me so was exhausted and irritable as I exited arrivals. Crispin surprised me with a bouquet of flowers! The ride hoe was smooth and he’s also very personable. Updating me on what’s been happening at home in my absence only when I asked. Cheered my up immensely. Thank you.

A professional, attentive and knowledgeable company that helped us to have an incredible experience
Our family recently had the pleasure of going on a remarkable safari journey through Kenya and Rwanda, organized by Adventure Africa. From the outset, the experience was seamless and highly personalized. In the planning stages, Dickson was very responsive, catering to our interests and putting together an itinerary that turned out to be exciting and educational.
Our guides in both Kenya and Rwanda were exceptional. In Kenya, David was super friendly, patient, extremely knowledgeable about Kenyan culture and local wildlife, and punctual. He answered all of our many questions, and drove us expertly across the country and through the Samburu and the Masai Mara parks. We saw an incredible array of amazing wildlife, including the big five. David also arranged, at our request, for us to visit several elementary schools along the way and a Masai village near Masai Mara, where we met locals and learned about their ways of life.
The experience in Rwanda added an enriching layer to our trip. Francis, an independent guide hired by Adventure Africa, was also awesome. His ability to weave stories and facts together created a vivid picture of life in Rwanda, making it a memorable part of our journey. We visited Volcano National Park, where we hired a guide and tracked Mountain Gorillas on one day, and chimpanzees on another. We went to a tea plantation, took a boat on Lake Kivu, and spent a few days in Kigali. David gave us a fascinating tour of the city, including the Genocide Memorial museum (a must), art galleries, the downtown shopping district, a local restaurant serving traditional food, cool coffee shops, and a women’s centre where we took a cooking class.
Overall, the accommodations and travel arrangements were excellent. The hotels and lodges that we chose with Dickson were wonderful. We felt well taken care of and immersed in authentic experiences.
I highly recommend Adventure Africa for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Kenya and Rwanda. Their professionalism, passion, and personalized approach have left us with memories we will cherish forever. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

Amazing experience with four days tour
They picked us from airport and next day, we started the four days tour in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. We could see various animals including five stars. It was spectacular experience. Our stay in camp site was comfortable, we could use electricity and hot water.
The guides (Humphrey and Amos) were kind and flexible for our request and I enjoyed a lot.

Magical
We used Apodiformes to organize our 4 night 5 day trip to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Lake Nakuru. From the moment planning began Silas was responsive, communicative, and worked tirelessly to make sure every detail was considered. This was our first trip to Kenya so it was understandably nice to have peace of mind! I could not recommend Silas and his team more. If you have the opportunity to request Peter as your driver, I could not suggest this more! He is wonderful and you will leave being part of his family!

Smooth booking but tour guide was very unprofessional.
Booking process with Denise was very well done but this is just the tip of an iceberg to have an enjoyable safari.
Day one - our tour guide was extremely late. He advised us to arrive at pickup location at 6.30 am but didn't arrive till past 8am. Worse, we couldn't reach him on contact provided by Born Fire. The guides lack of professionalism was evident right away since he got into it with one of the tourists stemming from frustration of waiting on pickup.
I didn't feel safe riding on the Land Cruiser after the guide explained his late arrival was due to fact that he had arrived at Nairobi city same morning following a seven day tour from Mombasa

Great service, fantastic experience
Very smooth communication with Joseph to plan the 5 days of safari. Great flexibility on adding new activities progressively, and even help plan a beautiful proposal!
As for Peter, he was extremely knowledgeable, and an amazing guide in Maasai Mara, helping us spot plenty of animals in the best possible way.

Our Safari experience was a mixed bag..
we recently returned from a 14 day Kenya and Tanzania trip with this operator.
Overall our safari experience was overshadowed by the multiple negative experiences our group faced due to poor planning by the tour operator.
It started day one in Nairobi..with confusion regarding number of rooms, and number of days they were booked for..confusion regarding number
veg Vs non veg eaters...etc
there were booking confusions practically at every location...every evening after we had reached our destination, we were to deal with a new problem ..change of itinerary / cancellation for the next day...
Hot air balloon ride over Masai Mara was promised...which got cancelled the previous night, and we were told we would enjoy that at at the end of the trip at Amboseli park...Once at Amboselli, we were told only 28 folks out of 30 can take the ride...which again was sprung as a surprise... at the last minute the balloon operator very casually and callously told us , decide which two of the group would miss the ride...
the tour coordinator travelling with us was not given proper information and authority to resolve the issues...
On the positive side...all the guides/ drivers provided were very good, with deep understanding of the park , animals and environment they were introducing to us...they made sure we got all the experiences of the safari..and were genuinely interested in our trip...
please be very careful if you are planning a trip with Seven By Far Safari...

It was an amazing trip and perfectly organized. We are still in awe. Thank you to our wonderful, knowledgeable guide Ally for spotting all Big Nine.
