Our dream came through!
Before our departure we made a schedule with Leona. She listened to our wishes and made the perfect safari itinerary for us. At a fair price. In Tanzania our guide Patrick and cook Isack took such good care of us. After seven days it felt like they were family. And we saw the big 5!
We were lucky to be able to travel just before the Covid-19 happened. And we hope many people will book a safari here as soon as they can. Because we have so many memories and beautiful pictures thanks to the Sunset Adventure team. We will never forget!

Beyond Our Wildest Expectations!
We just returned from a two-week trip to Kenya and all we can say is that this was a truly amazing journey. On par with our 2019 trip to the Galapagos Islands and the Amazon Rain Forest. It was a private tour for my wife and myself. We started in Maasai Mara, moved onto Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Tsavo West before finishing up in Mombasa. The safaris were all excellent. We actually saw all of the "Big Five" within the first two days at Maasia Mara. That included a leopard sleeping in a tree with a zebra it had mostly devoured. Another highlight was seeing a group of five male cheetahs hunting together as a pack. We also saw many black and white rhinos at Lake Nakuru, hundreds of elephants, more than a dozen lions, and giraffes, cape buffalo and hippos too numerous to count. Not to mention monkeys, jackals, serval cats, bat-eared foxes, hyenas with puppies and more than 100 different species of birds.
John Peter, the owner, was very responsive and accommodating. Our driver and guide, Davido, was world-class. Truly. He could not have done a better job spotting game and drove us down the worst road in Kenya with amazing skill. Any request we had he did his best to fulfill.
Highly recommended!!!

Totally reccomended
We had a REALLY nice experience with barafu tours doing de Lemosho route. I was quite nervous for being my first time in such a high mountain, but they make sure you have a great time, safe and funny. They take care of you at any time you need, provide with super good food during all the week, and give you some very important advice about the mountain and how to face this adventure. We are so grateful to all the team: guides cook and porters. They were all amazing professionals and amazing people of human kind. You feel like in your own family with them. Totally reccomend!! And Kili was just a dream come true

Good service
4 days Safari + Tribes tour
Communication was quick and clear
Service:
- I was combined with another group, who had different (budget package), thus I was losing 2 hours per day (30 min to wait for them to put up a tent + 30 min to go to my place and same in the morning 30 min to go to their place + 30 min waiting for them to pack everything in a car). Not sure if that is the best practice - to combine groups with different budget
- Food was okay, but almost the same every day (eggs for breakfast, cold lunch, chicken for dinner)
- Tented camps were great with hot water and all you need
- Guide was great, knew everything and answered all questions (his name was Hozza) - a very intelligent guy and a good driver
- Tribes visit and market was great + really great guide Peter was very helpful there
Organization of the trip didn't meet my expectation (combination with a budget group), but tented camps and super guide Hozza exceeded my expectations
Overall, I would recommend Seven Wonders Safaris to others

Professional but affordable shared safari tour
Best safari for amazing price!
After researching our safari options we started communicating with Serengeti Wakanda on Whatsapp and got immediately offers based on our requirements, answers to all our questions and felt safe that we will be picked up on the airport and go to Arusha where tour operator booked accommodation for the nights before and after the safari (all included in the price of the safari). The communication was top!
Next day we started our 4 days trip through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with our amazing chef Sule and great guide Francis. Words cant describe hiw good Sule was cooking even for us 2 vegans. Francis told us all about the animals in the parks and made our days full extraordinary experiences,he even taught us some swahili which came handy for the rest of our vacation.
The camping sites and the accommodation had all the necessary facilities like charging docks, showers etc.
After we returned we realized every cent of the price was worth it and adequate to the lifetime experience.
Specially during covid times the professional communication and service of Serengeti Wakanda was very appreciated!

Good experience
Kilimanjaro, Marangu route:
Communication was quick and clear
Service:
- I was assigned with 6 porters (solo trip), which I believe is too much (there were 5 porters for a group of 2)
- Food is okay, but almost the same every day + they have not asked me about allergies and my preferences before the trip, thus I was not eating half of what they gave to me, but still, it was enough to be full
- Stuff was friendly
- They assigned additional porter for me during summit night (last minute call) and expected additional tips for that
Everything met my expectations
Overall, I would recommend Migration Venture Africa for summiting Kilimanjaro

Worth every penny! Amazing Journey through Tanzania
Our recent trip to southern Tanzania was perfect arrangement with 3 days in Selous followed by 1 day Mikumi ending with 4 days in Ruaha guided by the most professional guide Ernest. We got to experience uncharted territories in Tanzania secluded from huge crowds. We saw all the big five, numerous birds and different habitats ranging from the lush green dense forests and waterways of Selous to the dry woodlands savanah in Ruaha.
Accommodations were a mix of camping and lodges and very exclusive. I definitely recommend trying Ruaha Hill View Lodge for a truly wild lodging experience accompanied by excellent dining in Ruaha.

The best ever !!!
My family has known Benson for over 20 years long before he owned Ngoko. He has always been an outstanding guide and we have taken at least 6 trips with him. Every time we go we think that the last safari cannot be as good as the last one and EVERY time it is even more wonderful. We all cannot say enough about him and his company, Since Fiona's entrance our booking has become a real pleasure. Thanks to you both.

This has been a crazy year, we had to do something to loosen up a little bit.
Called up the squad after we realized that the curve was flattening and decided to take a little trip out of town. Having interacted with the secretariat at Hyrax Safaris on previous tours, we decided to try out with them and they never disappointed. From the planning, payment, hospitality and travel, everything was just wonderfully done. I was on this trip to blow off steam coz of work so I missed out on seeing the elephants at Amboseli but let's just say I'll be redoing the trip again with them coz they were amazing. As soon as the next trip is up, am sure I'll be joining coz you can never get enough on the road.
So Hyrax, tag me along as soon as COVID allows us to travel again.

Wonderful - and varied - safari experiences with a first-class guide
On a recent trip to Nairobi we booked a trip to Naivasha with Gametrackers which was so good we booked a trip to Amboseli for the following weekend. On both occasions we were really lucky to have Adrian to guide us. He has a degree in wildlife conservation, and knows a remarkable amount about the birds and animals, and about conservation and the ways in which the human environment is encroaching on the wildlife. Adrian also has quite remarkable eyesight, with an ability to spot and recognise animals in the distance that we could hardly see, which hugely enhanced our experience of the trips.
I would also recommend all of the trips we took.
The boat trip on Lake Naivasha was wonderful, not just seeing fish eagles, king-fishers and hippopotamus on the lake, but also seeing game onshore from the lake.
We took the cycle tour of the Hells Gate park, just near Naivasha, which is an extraordinary trip. Not only the freedom of being able to cycle through the park, past warthogs and buffalo, zebra and wildebeest, but also the geography of the park, with dramatic cliffs and gorges.
The the second weekend we went to Amboseli - a four hour drive but well worth it. The Amboseli reserve has a range of environments from marsh and swamp to dry savannah, all under the enormous presence of Kilamanjaro. We saw lions after a kill, elephants walking past the camp at breakfast, and most memorably, when Adrian spotted some bat-eared foxes with cubs, a Martial Eagle flew down and took one of the cubs.
I'd strongly recommend Gametrackers for putting together a custom tour to meet your needs. We had tremendous trips.
