Seven By Far exceeded expectations by far!
From my first contact with Sylvester, I found Seven By Far to be highly responsive in terms of professionalism and communications, as well as also in designing a safari that accommodated my 5-day timeframe and “close to nature” priorities. He quickly developed an itinerary that included Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru, and at an extremely reasonable cost, especially since I was traveling solo. On the day of departure from Nairobi, Sylvester personally introduced me to my guide, Hassan. With over 10 years of guide experience, Hassan highlighted points of interest along the route west from Nairobi, answered my questions about the people and towns we passed, and also allowed quiet time for me to soak up the boundless scenery. By the time we arrived for lunch at PrideInn Mara, I knew I had found a new friend. Over the next few days, Hassan expertly spotted and taught met about the diverse wildlife on the Mara, ranging from elephants to tiny dung beetles, and patiently waited as I soaked up the experience. Highlight moments: a picnic lunch under a lone acacia tree surrounded only by waving grasses and grazing Thomson’s gazelles, with not another LandCruiser in sight, a beautiful drive to the Sand River at the border with Tanzania, and Hassan’s thoughtful explanation of why ancestral lands are fundamental to Kenyan wellbeing as we drove through Narok. Hassan not only took good care of me, but also the many guides who would stop and ask for his local knowledge, the less experienced guide who needed to be pulled out of a sand trap, the truck full of preserve game wardens who needed a better jack as they struggled to fix a flat tire. In short, Hassan is a terrific guide, with a well maintained/equipped vehicle, and a truly kind person - I could not have been more fortunate. I will definitely look forward to seeing him, along with Sylvester, on my next Kenyan adventure. If you are considering a safari, I highly recommend Seven By Far and Sylvester’s team — and be sure ask for Hassan.

Safari trip of a lifetime!
We did an incredible 8-day safari, tailored for the season and for where the animals would be by Easy Travel.
It was a truly life changing experience and I cannot say enough about Easy Travel and especially our guide, Hubert. He was so knowledgeable, kind, and a wonderful person to get to know over the week. We saw so many animals and he was key in spotting them, bringing us to the right spots at the right time, and helping us get the best views. We had such a fun time and would 100% recommend this trip, Easy Travel, and Hubert to any of our friends back home!

Excellent and very smooth experience
I thoroughly enjoyed the trip with Bamboo ecotours. Edison was super helpful and patient to answer all my questions from the start. This was my first time in Africa so I probably had more questions than most people who had been here before.
The actual trip was very smooth and amazing. Fred was my driver and guide. He did a great job making sure everything went as planned and my needs were met. Apart from the gorilla trekking, I also really enjoyed the time with the local community. Interacting with the local people just adds a whole other dimension to my experience. Highly recommend Bamboo ecotours and Fred!

Excellent experience
Jean picked me up at 5am in the hotel. We had a smooth drive to the Akagera NP for a game drive. We stopped for coffee and a nice breakfast buffet, and then the game drive. We saw many animals. Jean was a great driver and also great at spotting animals. We had great conversation in the car too. Highly recommend.

Harrison is an extremely knowledgeable, intelligent, friendly safari guide who keeps safety first.
I have had the pleasure of experiencing safaris with Harrison 3 times to date and am in the process of planning my next visit. I would recommend him to any and everyone looking to book a safari. I have experienced Massai Mara twice and Amboseli once, each being completely unique and breathtaking experiences. Massai Mara gives you an opportunity to potentially meet the Massai tribe and learn about how they live, whereas Amboseli gives you an opportunity to see Mt. Kilimanjaro which is an experience all on its own. I will warn though that there is no guarantee you will see Mt. Kilimanjaro in all its glory due to cloud coverage which you also obviously can't predict.
Harrison is an extremely intelligent, friendly, knowledgeable, safari guide/driver with a great sense of humor. He will make you feel at ease from the moment he picks you up. Harrison is very protective of his clients in a way of taking NO RISKS or chance of putting anyone in danger and making everyone feel as comfortable, safe and at ease as possible to enjoy the experience to the fullest. Harrison knows all the best places to spot the animals you desire to see and has proven to do the very best to his ability to make sure you see, learn and do everything you wish to do while enjoying your African safari. Book your safari with them NOW if you're even considering. I guarantee you will not regret booking with African Hagyko Safaris!
