Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Yunzhong
Gorgeous scene of African plains with lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Luckily you would see those powerful predators hunting. Beautiful place for landscape photography.

The best place in the world to photograph large herds of dusty elephants
Elephants walk in the field near roads. Easy to see them. Elephant's mating season is short, only few days in February. Male elephants fight for females. I was lucky to watch and photograph those giants fight for a couple of times in a day. One time I saw three males fighting together. Amazing!
There are a lot of zebras and gazelles, some ostrich and birds, a few lions. I saw two couples of lions mating. In a small pond, there are some African kingfishers. They are the most beautiful kingfisher in the world, I think.
The lodge in the park is very comfortable, like any nice hotels in America. It has hot water and nice environment. The restaurant inside the lodge has nice food.
Guides are very friendly and professional. They know all secret spots in the park and bring you to get there at right time.

Review about Kenya by Yunzhong
In one day you can see so many different species of wildlife. Animals and birds are so close that chances for good quality photos are plenty.

Great safari !
The combination of the friendly staffs and spirit of Africa and just being in the safari mode was wonderful and trumps all the small quibbles. Seeing a leopard mother and her cub playing a small distance away and seeing a cheetah close up in the wild are hard experiences to match. We had a Trully fabulous experience overall.
Amazing honeymoon
Our honeymoon was incredible! It was beyond our wildest dreams. Thank you so much.

Solo female traveler, amazing trip!
My Kilimanjaro trip was completely spontaneous and I reached out to a few different expedition companies to see if they had any last minute trek openings. Amanda at African Scenic was, by far, the most pleasant person I have ever done travel arrangements with. She was extremely accommodating, and gave me the confidence I needed to book an East African adventure as a solo female traveler. Ramson was my lead guide and he was so professional, warm and intelligent. The porters were lovely and very friendly. I felt very safe at all times and I would recommend this company to anyone. We got to see the other companies while at the camps and it was noticeable how superior African Scenic was. I hope to return one day to Ramson, Amanda, and the rest of the team.

High Marks
Africa Odyssey has arranged 3 safaris for me and everything has been flawless. In 2012, AO arranged a family trip for 13 of us to the Serengeti and the Selous. In 2013, AO arranged a complex trip for my wife and me which included the gorillas in the Virungas, and the seldom visited Tanzania parks - Katavi, Mahale Mountains (for the chimps) and Ruaha. In August 2015, AO did a trip for another couple and us which included Botswana, Vic Falls, Zambia (S Luangwa) and Cape Town. I like the fact that AO does not push package tours, but helps you arrange where you want to you and how long your stays are. Everything can be customized and that's a requirement for me. All arrangements AO has made for me have been flawless and I recommend AO to anyone I know who wants to visit East or Southern Africa.
