Great experience with great nature!
We were extremely happy with our journey. Thanks to our guide, Hoza, and our chef, Godson.
Hoza is a person who is both strict and polite yet very professional and informative about various topics. Though the tour company is known for highly skilled tour guides, it is rare to find a guide such as Hoza, who is a professional and can care for all customers. I enjoyed casual conversation with Hoza about lifestyle in Tanzania which was eye-opening.
All meals prepared by Godson were delicious! Especially I loved the zucchini soup which I now regret not asking him a recipe. I think he tried his best to cook food that accepted by most diversity, which included spaghetti to rice. I appreciate that, but I wanted to enjoy some of more local recipes too!
The tour itself was equally good! With our tight schedule, Everlyn, the coordinator, restructured the whole travel so that we would not miss a thing while we are in great nature which was truly thoughtful. We saw the big five, the great migration of zebras and wild beasts, the endless plains of Serengeti, the animal paradise of Ngorongoro. Each of the experiences was astonishing. Everything I saw made me speechless. This tour truly is a life experience.
Though--I cannot emphasize more that this is none of the tour company nor guide's fault, yet, unfortunately, our travel companions were (simply put) terrible. They were gullible, arrogant, filthy, ugly, uneducated, and shameless African Americans who cannot respect this great nature but constantly murmur about the most trivial "problem" they can find to bother both the guide and other customers. (If you happen to be one of those who cannot show some respects to the locals/culture or only care about how many "likes" your selfies can get, do me a favor and don't travel at all. They are truly a cancer of tourism.) I feel sorry for Hoza for what he had to go through; regardless, he tried his best to accommodate all those uneducated swine while trying to be fair to the rest of the pack. That is, after driving more than 11 hours of bumpy roads of safaris! It was truly shameful! I feel sorry for the tour company, that a customer can freely pick a company, but not vice versa.
All in all, we were very happy with what we experienced and all of the services which we receive from Seven Wonder Safari and Hoza. With all the hospitality which they offered, we now only wish to come back again to Tanzania in the future (perhaps with longer periods with a little more flexible schedule), and when we do, hopefully, we do have a better tour companion.

Booked a group camping 5 day safari, and all expectations were exceeded!
Pre-booking experience: They responded to all emails in a day and would answer all personal questions with specific information - not just copy & paste answers that they send to all people.
Airport pickup/drop off: They picked us up from the Arusha airport and dropped us off at the Kilimanjaro airport - all included in the price! The cars were clean and the drivers were friendly.
Hotel before/after the safari: They booked us a room in the Ambassador Hotel for the night before the safari and a night after the safari - all included in the price. The Ambassador Hotel was clean and comfortable enough.
Safari Car: The pop-up roof car was the perfect safari experience! You could tell that our car was a bit used (some broken arm rests and one window that was jammed and couldn't open), but after being in it for 5 days and seeing the road conditions in the parks, I'm not surprised that it had a few little problems.
Staff: Our tour guide+driver (Hozza) and cook (Kelvin) were phenomenal and truly made the safari top-notch! The guide could talk for hours and hours about any and every animal and plant. He was really experienced, professional, funny, and kind. He would explain facts and habits of different animals when we would see them on the safari and then he would go really in-depth on one specific animal every night at dinner. He was also an aggressive driver when he needed to be - making sure other cars didn't block our view for certain popular animals.
Food: For a budget camping safari, the food (quality and quantity) far exceeded expectations! We had a cook who traveled with us every day and would make 3 meals. You will NOT go hungry!! Breakfast always included fresh fruit, omelettes, pancakes, toast, juice, and coffee/tea. Lunch was boxed (you would eat it at the national parks) and included a sandwich, chicken, banana, crackers, chocolate, and juice. Dinner was also a huge spread, and varied every night - homemade soup, fresh salad, pasta/rice, meat...
Drinks: We had unlimited water bottles in a cooler in the car (cool water!) and juice at every meal. We also were served wine and gin and tonics every evening at dinner. The alcohol was included!
Lodges/Campsites: We booked a camping safari, but we ended up staying in a basic lodge for two nights and camping in tents two nights. The basic lodge was a pleasant surprise - hot water private showers, a real bed, and wifi. The tour company provided all of the camping supplies - large tents (each couple/individual got their own tent), sleeping bags, and pillows. We set up our own tents with the help of the guide and cook. We never slept very well while camping because you would hear animals outside of the tents, but totally worth it for the experience! We saw a hyena, warthog, and buffalo at one campsite and an elephant from the other! The campsites have flush toilets and cold water showers.
Safari Itself: The itinerary was different every day, but generally we woke up early and would stay in the park for 6-8 hours a day. Driving between parks takes a long time, but the car is comfortable. The guide is always radioing the guides from the other cars to find out the locations of different animals, but you can expect to see EVERYTHING! We saw so many lions (and lion cubs), cheetahs (and cheetah cubs), leopards (and leopard cubs), as well as elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelope, warthogs, hyenas... PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE!!
Thoughts on a 5 day safari: By the end of the five days, we were definitely safari'd out. I would recommend to my friends to only do 4 days (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara/Tarangire) - no need to do both Manyara and Tarangire. The scenery is different in each park, but you get to the point of being tired of sitting in the car for the full day.

Great experience
It was a private tour to have taken a tour only by me. Because it was the off season.
A tour guide was very kind and spoke to only me about animals and Tanzania.
I wasn't good at English, but he spoke politely.
He found many animals. Lion, leopard, giraffe, elephant and buffalo…etc.
The three days I spent in Tanzania was a good experien.ce for me.
I thank him! Thank you very much.
Best trip ever!
I had an amazing trip arranged by Seven Wonders. I cant say a sinlge negative thing about this trip and the company. I am truly greatful for their hospitality and service. Evelyn and George gave full service and i can truly recommend this, due to they lower cost as well as being professional.

Beautiful nature and great organisation
Our 6-day safari was truly amazing! Seven Wonders Safaris organized everything very well. Starting the journey from Arusha I was fascinated to see the green forest of Tarangire and the herd of elephants.
It was a great experience to see lions, rhinos and other animals in Ngorongoro Crater. And Serengeti is the best part of the whole trip - huge fields, beautiful sunsets and a variety of wildlife.
Our guide was a good man, always helpful. All in all, it was a very enjoyable and enjoyable trip!

From Sunrise in Tarangire to Sunset in Serengeti
I love taking pictures, so this trip was perfect. Everywhere from Tarangire to Serengeti, there are moments that are a mountain of regret to miss.
I have seen crocodiles on the banks of the Serengeti river to catch prey, and in Ngorongoro, I have encountered black rhinos and lions at close quarters. The guide has taught us a lot - the habits of the animals, the stories of the path, even his own experiences.
Every night I had dinner under the stars. Such an experience can not be described in words - ⟨⟨Seven Wonders Safaris⟩⟩ has really fulfilled the "adventure" as promised.

Well organized trip to serengeti and ngorongoro
We had a great trip in tanzania going to serengeti and then ngorongoro. Victor was a good driver who got us everywhere fast, he was good company and flexible to our wishes, knew a lot about all the animals and made sure to have any drinks we wanted in the fridge in the car. Also very comfortable car with nice seats and lots of space!

A great adventure in Rwanda and Tanzania.
I took an amazing 10-day trip with my family through Seven Wonders Safaris. The first 2 nights at Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, where the gorillas were so close, were truly breathtaking. Then go to the Tanzanian part - Lake Manyara (1 night), Serengeti (3 nights), Ngorongoro Crater (2 nights), and Arusha (1 night).
Our organizer answered all questions quickly, and the planning was smooth. The driver-guides were experienced and very efficient in locating the animals and making our trip safe and comfortable. It is truly unforgettable to see the lion family hunting in Serengeti and elephants, zebras, lions, and rhinos together in Ngorongoro.
All of our meals were delicious, and the service was excellent. This tour is perfect for the family, because here the experience of culture, wildlife, and natural scenery is available.

A dream trip.
We started with Lake Manyara National Park. Breaking the fog in the morning, when the car entered the park, we saw a group of monkeys jumping on the trees, colorful flamingos, and a family of elephants by the water. From there we went to the Ndutu area, where the famous Great Migration is taking place - thousands of gnu and zebras are running across the grasslands together. The sound was so loud that I could hear the heartbeat of the world. One afternoon in the Serengeti National Park, we saw a cheetah hunting with great precision. Standing at the Ngorongoro Crater on the last day, seeing lions, elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, and leopards at the same time - truly one of the best moments of life. And after listening to the dance, songs, and stories of the warriors in the Maasai village, the journey was complete.

Nature's most epic scene!
I have traveled a lot in my life, but what I saw at the Mara River Crossing in the Serengeti was truly a unique experience. When thousands of new wildebeest were crossing the river together, there were crocodiles nearby - the cruelty and beauty of nature were seen together. It would not have been possible to see this scene from such a close distance without the experience and accurate timing of our guide. Thank you, Seven Wonders Safaris - it was the best safari of my life!
