Almost all safari tours operated by Seven By Far are private per booking and are operated in their own pop-up top 4×4 jeep with a dedicated tour driver/guide.
Guests booking with us can, however, form private groups to travel together as families or friends
We do not make tour groups from individual bookings for medium/long-range safari tours. This is to allow foe flexibility, customization, pace, and choice of safari lodge/camp preference
The only exception is the short/small Nairobi, Kenya, group tours, which we operate on Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of every week.
Almost all safari lodges/tented camp accommodations during your safari do provide free Wi-Fi. These are in the three accommodation levels of
Wifi is provided in the public areas of the safari lodges/tented camps, including the reception, dining areas, and lounge. It is not provided in the individual rooms/tents.
We provide free Wifi in our 4×4 safari jeeps, with connectivity being at approximately 70% due to local Kenyan network coverage
On our overnight group sharing safari, it is not possible to request for an extra day safari extension
This is because you share your safari Jeep with the other travelers on a seat-in-car basis. It also means that you leave and return to Nairobi as a group
It would thus require a unanimous decision to extend the safari from all tour participants for this to happen. It would also be subject to the availability of extended accommodation in the respective tented camp/lodge.
An extra day on safari shall also require extra payment.
At Seven By Far, we have invested in the employment of among the best tour driver/guides.
However, we allow our guests to have that special preference for an individual driver/guide either from recommendations or online reviews.
If you prefer a specific safari tour driver/guide from our team, we are happy to allocate him as your guide for the duration of your safari tour. This is, however, subject to his availability.
In case he is already requested for during the period of your planned safari tour, you can always choose another driver/guide from our diverse team.
Our selection of safari lodges and tented camps is well researched and offers the best in terms of comfort, relaxation, and atmosphere during safari. Each accommodation category is well catered for in the selection.
We fully understand the need for your protection against mosquito and other insect bites.
All rooms/tents during your safari are fitted with mosquito nets or are insect-proofed to protect you against bites.
You are also advised to carry/use insect repellent to further protect yourself, especially outdoors during evenings.
The maximum number of persons allowed in one room/tent is 3; these can be accommodated in a double bed and a single bed or in 3 single beds.
Where 4 persons or more are travelling together and prefer stay in one room/tent, we may book them in 2 rooms with interconnecting doors
For those that may prefer to stay close as family or friends, we may book them in adjacent tents/rooms.
Some safari lodges/camps have family units for a maximum of 4 persons only. This, however, includes an extra cost.
All safari rooms/tents are private with own bathroom/toilet.
Your safari tour Jeep has a generous luggage compartment at the rear and can comfortably carry 6 suitcases with an average 25-30 kg each.
You may carry hand luggage with your vital stuff inside the safari jeep.
We suggest that you pack/carry your luggage in soft-sided suitcases for ease of storage in safari vehicles and also to minimize friction and damage during the sometimes bumpy road safari trips.

You may store extra luggage not required on safari at our Nairobi or Mombasa offices for free.
You may also choose to pay an extra $5 per kilogram for any extra baggage if you decide to carry all your baggage around with you (this is subject to flight/carrier capacity)
As an extension of our safari tour services, Seven By Far provides free return airport/hotel transfers for our guests who book a 3-day-plus safari tour with us.
The transfers are provided even when you arrive or depart several days before or after your safari start/end.

Our listed safari tours and advertised prices do not include Nairobi hotel stay
In case you are arriving in Nairobi earlier than your safari starting date or are intending to stay a few days more after the safari finishes, you require a Nairobi hotel.
Nairobi has a wide range of hotels in economy, comfort, and luxury categories suitable for your 1-night or extended stay.
