Namib Desert Ride
The most important thing, to me, on a riding trek is how well the horses are taken care of, and this company is second to none! Before I even arrived Helen had given me all the information I needed and helped me plan other activities outside the horse safari. Once I was there, I was able to experience the magic of the desert on horses that would do all you asked and more. From the wacky races, the guides, the guests, the food (God I miss the food) to sleeping under the stars, this felt like the first time I was exactly where I was supposed to be. I feel like I've left behind a part of my soul and I long for the day I'll be able to return.
If you are an experienced rider, I couldn't recommend this trip more.

Everything we expected and more!
Wycliffe saved our safari despite another guides deceit and deception. We ran into an unscrupulous tour guide who had taken us for thousands and Wycliffe saved the trip and our gorilla permits. I have strongly recommended him to several friends for a great safari experience!

Excellent communication, knowledgable driver, good locations.
Booking was simple and straight-forward: any questions we had was answered usually within less than an hour, even when we wrote in the evening.
Pick-up was pretty much on time, the driver (Simon) professional, and whilst it is not one of those latest Landrovers with the higher windows, that shouldn't be expected at a fair price-point of about $1035pp for 2.
Lodging was excellent in Maasai Mara (Mara Sopa Lodge) and good-enough in Lake Nakuru (the rooms very a bit 'minimalist' but the main-building more than made up for it, plus service in both places was flawless), the driver was very knowledgable and very attentive to small requests: we all have our hobbies, and my joy is having my camera with me and asking to just advance a few meters back and forth at times. Having an attentive driver for these small things makes all the difference as a customer. More importantly, and as a suggestion: the 'basic' program seems to suggest safaris should start around 730AM. We requested to be out at 6AM with sunrise, and for anyone who has done a Safari before: that's when the true magic happens and most animals are out. 730AM would be a waste of the sunrise and your money.
At Lake Nakuru, make sure you drive straight to the flamingos at sunrise when the morning-fog hovers over the lake and creeps out of the forest. Just breathtaking.
If I could change one thing, and this is not a negative of the program in itself, then I'd change the program to go twice a day when the light is best versus driving all day to get further into the park. Whilst I'm glad we ultimately did that, driving a whole day is quite exhausting and mid-day is not quite as interesting if it's not your first safari.
Meals on the road between stops were quite basic, but that's simply how it is. Meals at lodges was great.
The important bit is: we saw the Big 5, we got some fantastic shots and memories, and at this price-point we had excellent service and attention to our requests.

Amazing Experience and Good Care
Recently Visited Kenya for Safari Experience. Everything Organised and executed by Seven by far. They are really good & soft nature and provided fantastic service. Over all well managed journey with amazing experience. Henry, the safari driver deserved for special mentioned and very humble person. My kids are still using his name as reference. We had fun and our dream fulfilled. Strongly recommending Seven by far for Kenya Trip. We also planning to visit again with few friends.

Simon was extremely professional
Simon is the go-to-person for travel in Zimbabwe. He is very knowledgeable, knows the ropes and will do everything in his power for you to have a good time. I was extremely impressed with his attention to details and how to maneuver through the bureaucratic systems that will waste time and allow you to enjoy more of your destination.

One of the best experience in our life!
We did a 6 day camping safari with another couple who also happened to be from Canada too. OMG! I still dream about it sometimes!
Bartho, the owner was so attentive to details, he delivered everything he promised, from the first time we met him at the airport his personality was so amazing, he would tell us a lot of stories about Tanzania, the next day we had a town trip with him in Arusha and he would make sure we got a “rafiki price” and not a “mzungu price” in the markets and shops as he was bargaining really hard for the souvenirs we bought.
During the safari, Mood our guide had a lot of knowledge for the flora and fauna in the parks and he was so charming and funny. He always knew when to find the animals and most of the time we were always alone avoiding other crowded safari jeeps during the game drives. The camping equipment were new, sleeping bags were perfect and Dullah, the cook was really amazing, he cooked us a variety of delicious meals which was accompanied with a bottle of wine.
All in all everything was perfect and we would never ask for more!
Thank you WAKANDA for this breathtaking experience!
Highly recommend them!
