Great safari
My boyfriend and I did a 6 day 5 night safari with Greg adventures January 2020. We had an amazing time getting to see all the big 5 as well as other hard to see animals such as the caracal. Our guide, Anwar, was fantastic and very knowledgeable making it even more enjoyable. Raymond, our cook, also made us huge delicious meals to keep everyone going. Greg adventures also made it easy to slightly change our itinerary so that we had one night in a tented lodge which was very beautiful as well as going to Lake enyasi and going on an early morning bush hunt with the Hatsebe tribe which was one of our personal favorites. All in all would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to go on a affordable safari.

Amazing safari trip
My partner and I decided to book a trip after arriving in Arusha. Bobby Tours managed to arrange our 4 day Safari trip within one day. The managers Kassim and his father were most welcoming and transparent.
On top of that, their services, packages and prices are clear and competitive compared to other agencies we visited.
During our private trip, we were in the company of a guide Philemon and a chef Musa. Philemon was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions on Tanzanian culture, the animals, traditions and Swahili language. We really enjoyed the 4 days with him as a guide. Moussa the chef managed to prepare very tasty breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
On our way back we had some issues with the car tires. As we had a flight booked directly at the end of our trip schedule, we missed our flight. Kassim immediately provided the best service after notice to ensure the continuation of our journey, by arranging a taxi, a beautiful hotel and new flight tickets for the morning after. We could not have been assisted better at that moment.
As we had an amazing safari experience, we would highly recommend booking via Bobby Tours if you are looking for a reliable and transparent agency.
And for the Dutch people: every year Kassim and his father are at the Vakantiebeurs in Utrecht .. If you have the opportunity to visit, it is definitely worth it!

Hakuna Matata Tour, truly = No worries!!
I thoroughly recommend this tour for anyone who has a short time to spend in Kenya. From the first time I contacted Sylvester the service was impeccable. Nothing was too much trouble! Sylvester also upgraded my accommodation x2 times so that I could get an idea of different types of accommodation available. I do have to say that Base Camp at the Masai Mara was my favourite simply because you got a true feel of Africa but with still the luxury & comfort. The fact that I was travelling on my own & did not have to worry about anything made my experience exceptional!! Thank you many times over to Seven by far travels & Sylvester. I will be back without a doubt along with family & friends that I have shared this journey with.
As a side note, I do recommend that you get the upgrade to 4W drive / get the direct internal flights to & from the accommodation. The roads travelling to & from the accommodation are a bit special & you do truly get to understand the term "African massage". Up to you, I found this a great experience as I got to see a lot of the countryside and the people and found this a truly amazing experience. Mt son travelled by air and saw more of Kenya as less time travelled but not so much of the people & countryside. It is a preference but please do consider Seven by far travels as they will go out of their way to make your trip super special!

An emotional incredible experience and professionally organised.
This professionally organised 5 day customised safari tour started with our superb guide James picking us uppp on time as he did every day for a half day trip to Nairobi Giraffe sanctuary and David Sheldrick Elephant orphanage which was amazing and well worth the add on. The following day we travelled to Amboseli NP arriving at the excellent tented Kibo camp where we were fortunate enough to see spectacular clear views of Kilimanjaro as well as plenty of animals. The breathtaking restaurant view overlooking the watering hole at Kilaguni lodge in Tsavo West on day 3 made me cry and when a family of Elephants turned up as the area became floodlit I started again. Day 4 we arrived at the rustic unfenced Satao camp in Tsavo East where many animals roam free around the camp. Unfortunately there was an infestation of ants in our tents toilet, apparently caused by the recent heavy rains. However this did not detract from a pleasent stay and on leaving for our beach Hotel in Diani Beach the next morning it was my wifes turn to cry as we witnessed a Male and Female Lion frolicking around beside us. On summing up this incredible experience I would thoroughly recommend Transtrek Safaris from the organisation by company director Daniel to guide James whose animal spotting and wildlife knowledge was first class.

Amazing Honeymoon
Mary from favour tours organised us a customised honeymoon safari. The balance was perfect between game drives where we had incredible wildlife experiences, and time relaxing by a pool, or overlooking a waterhole at a lodge. Our guide Peter was very knowledgeable, friendly and had great eyes for wildlife. Mary was great before the trip touching base for details and then making sure we were comfortable during.

A lovely organised safari trip in Tanzania!
Ben is very responsive in our email correspondence and he tailored the trip to our needs. We wanted a safari trip in Tanzania which ended in a beach resort in Zanzibar. He managed to fit in all the activities we wanted to do and booked for us comfortable accommodations throughout the trip.
Our guide Alladin is very knowledgeable and experienced so we managed to learn the names of the variety of animals we spotted on our journey. Alladin also kept us safe and took good care of us during the trip.
It is a very memorable trip for us and I think Alladin has us hooked to safaris! In fact we want to plan another safari trip but this time in Sri Lanka!
We will definitely be back in Africa with E-Trip's Ben and Alladin should we have the opportunity to fly to Africa in the near future!

An complete safari experience
Fitted me well because I want to travel and see a lot without spending a fortune. As soon as I showed interest in this safari package, the internet booking turned into a personal service by the contact person Bernard. He was always available to answer my questions clearly and quickly and helped until I left Arusha. Got a dream experience with a budget package. We got the details of the program in writing and everything matched what was on it. We saw all and had fun, thanks to our experienced driver as well as the chef who always prepared good food.

Exceeded our Expectations
Where to begin. The People are wonderful, so welcoming, kind and polite. All of the accommodation was great. We did budget on actual safari, but all was clean and comfortable. Always great showers. Our airport hotel at J.berg was exceptional. More than I anticipated. All of our meals at the lodges were amazing. Our meals in various restaurants in Capetown were all of high quality. Nothing is overly expensive either. Transport was excellent, always felt in safe hands with experienced drivers. Our Game drivers were very good and great fun. As were our guides on our bush walks. Weather was good every day, though a few very hot days. To landscape is amazing, also being very much like Australia. In some spots breath taking. Obviously the highlight was to see so many of the wildlife up close. All in all I regret not going before hand. I really felt at home, whether it was on Safari in Kruger or relaxing in Capetown. Next trip ASAP.

Tanzania is a hidden gem.
We travelled as a family of 2 adults and 4 children to Arusha. We did a 3 day safari with Bujo tours. The wildlife, scenery and overall experience were wonderful. We have been on safari in South Africa in the past. This was different in terms of scenery and wildlife, especially the birds. Ngorongoro crater is breathtaking.
