unforgettable adventure
We had a safari for the first time ever and we didn't expect that it would be so much fascinating. The tour was very well organized (thanks a lot to ChameleonSafaris and our guide) and we managed to see the whole country for one week. We saw three absolutely different regions: see shore (Swakopmund), desert (Namib and Sossusvlei) and savanna (Etosha National park). It's not enough, of course, to enjoy every spot properly, but if you're limited in time it is the best choice. We were lucky to see all animals possible in Etosha, climbed the dune in Sossusvlei, did shopping in Swakopmund and lot more. The lodges where we stayed were amazing, we would spend a week in each of them. Very cozy and comfortable with excellent views from the windows to bushes and sunset, wild animals in the close vicinity to lodges (springboks, wildebeests, lots of birds etc). In Namib desert was quite cold at nights and very windy (which is a rarity), but view of night sky with miriads of stars and milkyway are worth it. Overall it was unforgettable adventure which makes us wish to experience it more and more.

Perfect
We stayed as a group of 12 at the Ilkeliani Camp in the Maasai Mara. I have stayed at these facilities multiple time. Everything was perfect from start to end. The staff went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. From the lodging to the amazing food, as for a the safari drivers they were very knowledgeable of the wildlife and always did their best to get us the best views as possible. I would diffenately recommend this trip.

Together with Tailor Made Safaris we organized an unforgettable trip to beautiful places and nature!
After asking some information about a trip to South Africa, the destination and marketing specialists helped us to find the way throughout all the possibilities the region gives. They kept contact with us before and during our trip.
The self drive pack and book with information about our destinations were very usefull. With this formula, we could focus on our trip, which was very nice. The accomadations were very pleasant, with friendly hosts.
We recommand Tailor Made Safaris if you're planning a holiday trip to the north/east coast of South Africa!

Great experience, staff spent a great deal of time to ensure that our goals and needs were meet
We were impressed with the personal service we received during our total stay in Kenya. We had the same person from airport pickup, tours in the city and our safari in Masai Mara reserve. Tamasha staff also meet us on the way back and provided person tour of Nairobi prior to leaving. Our trip was well organised and staff was very knowledgeable making our trip very memorable. Our guide was determined to ensure we had a full safari experience. He was very knowledgeable of the reserve and the animals. We were also very impressed with the accommodation and the quality of the food. Beyond expectations.

Very proffesional. Exellent sevice. Definitely recommend Seven By Far Travel
Original contact was with Sylvester over the phone. Very easy to talk to about the types of Safari and what his company can offer. Further communications through email and whats app. The Safari was part of our honeymoon and Sylvester was always quick to respond to any of our quieries and questions. He met us at the airport in Nairobi with Asan our guide for the 5 days. Left us at our hotel that evening and both of them were back to meet us early the next morning. Asan was then with us for the next 5 days as we vistited 3 different parks around Kenya. His knowledge is excellent and would recommend him for any safari around Kenya. He was very easy to get on with, always puctual and made our experience so much more relaxed. I spent months looking at Safaris all over Africa including Tanzania, South Africa/Vic falls and trying to decide which one to settle on and how long the safari should be. In the end i write this review to say that we are very happy we chose to go with Seven By Far and i would recommend them to anyone who wishes to Safari in Kenya.
Thank you both Sylvester and Asan!

Perfect 5 days midrange tenteg-lodge safari!
The 5 days tour is perfect to enjoy the great wildlife of Tanzania. We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara , Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater.
We spotted a lot of animals, including more than 30 lions!
All lodges and tents were perfect. Our driver/guide Adam was very professional and kind.
In short: everything was very good organized and we had a great safari!

Fabulous 5-Day Safari Experience
My partner and I booked a two-person, 5-day safari with Transtrek. Daniel was prompt, forthcoming, and full of helpful information before booking and also before our trip departure from the US. Once with our local guidedriver, Tony, we knew we were in good hands. Tony was highly knowledgeable about wildlife, friendly with the Masai guides at our lodges, and was happy to customize and cater our day treks to our needs. He made sure we had chances to see all the big 5 and any particular animals we were interested in and we loved being in our private Range Rover for viewing without the crowds.
We especially loved the Basecamp Eagle's Nest camping experience--this ecotourism group is owned by the Masai people and does great work in the community. It was the best of the places we stayed and we really got to know the staff--from our Masai guides to the chef to the locals in the nearby village. It made our trip special!

A well organised adventure
Initially living in tents albeit up market ones was a bit daunting but we came to love the experiences - lying in bed listening to the sounds of the African night. Lusekelo was a wonderful guide and extremely knowledgeable (I am a zoologist myself). The food was far better than we could have hoped for although the drinks in the Sopa lodge were very expensive.
