Love, Care & Attention, we had the best time!
We traveled with the 2 of us on a private safari and our driver Sebastian was an amzing spotter and tour guide throughout the whole trip.
He picked us up straight from the airport then we met the tour operator Sillas shortly for breakfast & final payment before we headed on our journey. Have seen the big 5 already by Day 3 and lots of other animals and birds, just mesmerizing. As two women travelling through Kenya we felt very safe & welcomed. He even went out of his way to invite Ken a member of the Maasai Tribe to spend a whole day with us, tell us about his culture and have lunch in the bush with us with huge birds roaming around us waiting to get a share from our lunch boxes. For our last days on the beach he dropped us at a train station where we traveled 1st class to Mombasa where our kind driver Joseph was already waiting for us, who also picked us up again to drop us at the airport once our vacation came to an end. Just a great package overall.
Organization:
Silas has a very quick turn around time from quotation to connecting with us via whatsapp and arranging all the details.
He was flexible in incorporating a balloon safari, too. Only a few small hickups on the accomodation booking for our time on Diani beach and a pre-arranged massage which was included in our package upon arrival after the taxing safari ride. I would recommend after paying the 30% upfront to pay the rest in local currency once there as you can easily withdraw Kenyan schilling if you are not from an origin country that has USD.
Accomodations:
All accomodations picked were a great build up from family run to high class every following accomodation brought the customer experience level one stage up and kept us in awe. The staff in all accomodations was exceptionnal.
People:
Kenya as a travel destination is remarkable, the saying every Kenyan is a happy Kenyan i have experienced myself. In addition to their long working hours being resilient to fatigue while staying kind and friendly not only towards us but also towards each other was a great sight. Lots of take away's for me coming back home. Please remember to always have sufficient Schilling cash in your pocket for tipping the staff.
Our Tourguide:
I recommend Apodiformes to everyone wanting to have a transformative amazing experience in Kenya & please do ask for SEBASTIAN as your driver & tour guide as he made this journey absolutely unforgettable for us. He was well connected with other spotters and made sure we have seen from Leopards, Cheetas, Rhino close up's, Elephant herds, Lion prides in action to lots of Pumbas, Gazelles, Zebras, Wildbeast & Buffalos etc. Simply more than we could have imagined. We even discovered our love for birds as there is such a big variety.
Patient, knowledgeable, fun & caring he handled the situation when our car temporarily broke down very professionally & even stopped to help somebody else change a tire while we were watching the crocodiles in the water. Nice to see & observe and fully immerse into Kenya's every day life :)
5 stars for the tour organizer Silas, our driver in Mombasa Joseph & of course for our amazing tour guide during safari Sebastian!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Perfect gate away family holiday.
Just came back from Kenya and Tanzania. We had an amazing safari and cultural experience. Seven by far tours has provided amazing service before, during, and after our trip. Our guides throughout our trip were very knowledgeable and welcoming. Accommodations were wonderful and very beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for anymore. A great company and we look forward to planning our next trip with Seven by far tours soon.

Friendly and reliable!
This four day hike was absolutely stunning. The team, Patrick, Charles, Leonard, Joseph, Maina, and Antonio went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed to the fullest. The views were stunning, the food was delicious and plentiful, and the hike was a great balance of feeling challenged but safe with the team. Lots of shared memories, laughs, and adventure we’ll surely remember! Couldn’t recommend more.

Excellent services
My family and I had a very good time in Africa. Bonfire Adventures planned this for us and we thank our guide James Gechena who went extra mile for us to see all animals we anticipated.
From the planning , to payment and safari itself , it was flawless. Our agent Maureen did a commendable job.
We will recommend Bonfire adventures to our friends in the US.
The highlight was the maasai cultural village where we witnessed the culture.
Also the Big 5 and Jame’s Humour

Arusha Safari
Our driver made it a wonderful experience! Showed us around the park seeing as much as possible, willing to stop or go however long our group wanted, and had a lot of information about the area and the animals. Highly recommend!

Amazing
All experience was amazing from beginning to the end. A life experience. One of the strongest motives to visit Zanzibar was the possibility to do an one day safari and was just perfect. The day was perfect and we saw a lot of animals in real wildlife. The price was fair and we strongly recommend Fantastic Safaris to do an experience like this

Amazing experience with Kalahari Marsh!
Four of us went to Botswana and hired Kalahari Marsh for our entire 18-day trip. We were initially assisted by Lucky who accommodated to our last minute requests, changes and bookings both before and during our trip. After learning about the experience we were looking for, Lucky went out of his way to provide his recommendations and itinerary adjustments to ensure we checked off all our boxes. Lucky is honest, helpful and a pleasure to work with.
Our guides were TT and Gothi and they were AWESOME! By the end of the trip, we were all a group of friends just hanging out and enjoying the beautiful Botswanan safari’s. TT was our main guide and he knew everything. The amount of information that he shared with us added to the amazing experience.
Generally, you never know when you’ll return to a destination, but this time it feels different. It feels like we would be going back to visit friends. We cannot wait to go back!

Listens and adapts to customer expectations
The safari circuit that we wanted to do and which was off the beaten track was made possible thanks to the understanding, knowledge and skill of the Greg Adventures team, thank you Awa! A great guide Andréa and a great chef Hilda to accompany us and guide us on this 5-day journey. Lots of good humor and skills, thanks to them

Excellent organised and operated tour
We booked a tour with King Tomondo Safaris Kenya for Amboseli, Tsavo East, and Tsavo. The communication ahead of the tour (with Lisa) was excellent and the trip well organised, so that we could enjoy our trip too the fullest. Afterwards she gave us also further recommendations for the rest of our vacation.
The chosen hotels, the safari vehicle and the itinerary were even better than we expected. Also, our driver, Bashir, was a great guy, who not only gave a lot of information about the animals we saw, but also information on Kenya's culture and history.
I would definitely choose King Tomondo Kenya Safaris again.
