7-day safari to Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Serengeti National Park
We had the best time in Tanzania with Easy Travel! Our guide, Tom, was the best--very knowledgeable, funny, kind. We saw the big five and even got within 20 m of the elusive black rhino! I planned the trip with Beatrice who was amazing and thoroughly answered all the questions we threw at her.

Over and Above Expectations
We used Avocet for our safaris in Feb, 2017 and they were fantastic! We went to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro, the entire experience was incredible! Our guide was great and the owner, Jeff, went above and beyond expectations to take care of us. I accidentally left a shirt in a vehicle and he was able to track it down and had a man meet me at the airport to get it back, I was very thankful for this! We highly recommend Avocet!!!

The best safari among the 10 or 12 ones I've had in Kenya
The moments I spent in Samburu, Nakuru, Masai Mara and Amboseli were the best I ever had in these national parks that I had already visited 2 or 3 times each at least. Anthony was the best game-tracker I ever met and a very good guy, as well. In Masai Mara, we could see the Big Five in one afternoon, including the black rhino, of course. Great times, indeed. Asante sana, Anthony

Avocet were very responsive and accommodating with our specific requests and needs.
Communication with Avocet was mostly through email, and their response was always very prompt. We specified our requirements and they tried their best to cater accordingly. The game drives were wonderful, more so because of the enthusiastic drivers/ guides. We had requested moderately comfortable accommodation, not basic or luxury, and we were provided exactly that. Overall our experience was wonderful, and I would recommend Avocet to others.

This trip was exeptional
Please write your review ; I would first like to thank Mr Ndamungu for his professionalism and our guide Samwel , without them this trip would not have had the same and it is thanks to their devotion vouyage it will remain for us as good and wonderful memories. We liked Tanzania as much for its scenery, national parks but also for its people. They are very likeable people. The visit to the Maasai village of Longuido was perfect, far from villages turned into marketing to tourists, the guide Loy Tribe Datoga Hadzabe and was perfect clear explanations person invests in his work). The different tribes gave us a taste of change of scenery,(Tarangire, Lake Mannyara, Serengheti and Ngorongoro) are wonderful, we had the chance to see a lioness hunting and thanks to our guide , the big five was assured. The lodges were very comfortable, the food very good and excellent. We returned the head filled with beautiful and good memories. Thank you

A very well organised tour from the Cape to Kruger, during which we learned a lot about South Africa
We started our communication with Compass Odyssey about eight months before our trip, having got the contact from a friend. Their first task was to perform a sanity check, what all we could cram in a period of 11 days. Once our party had agreed upon a list of prioritised pkaces to see, Compass provided us with a proposal which we accepted. From there on, Compass did all the arrangements in Cape Town and surroundings, bought flight tickets and reserved us a safari in a private game reserve in the north-eastern corner of the country. Everything worked well, and we apprexiated especially being guided both in the Cape area and in the game reserve - our travel experience was exceptionally educational.

great safari experience
Overall the experience is good. We got prompt feedback in most of cases. The arrangement of hotels and safari trips are very thoughtful and meet our expectations. We will recommend Solaris tours and safaris to anyone visiting East Africa.

Heavenly Honeymoon
We wanted to do something completely special for our honeymoon and after lots of research decided that a week on Safari followed by the beach would be perfect.
We called a few different safari operators that we found on the internet and decided to book with Safari Club as the guy we spoke to seemed very professional and to understand exactly what we were looking for.
It proved to be a good decision as we were advised to consider Ruaha National park and Selous Game reserve for three nights each followed by six days in Zanzibar at a small boutique hotel. The price was lower than we expected and as everything on the safari was included so we were pleasantly surprised, that no big credit card bill was waiting for us at home.
We were treated like royalty at both the safari camps we stayed at with private bush dinners and lots of other little touches which made our honeymoon special. We were particularly impressed by the guides who seemed to be able to spot and identify small animals hidden in the grass from miles away and who kept us royally entertained with stories of the experiences of life in the bush.
The hotel in Zanzibar was also lovely the beach was superb with pure white sand although the tide went out a long way, the food was very good with plenty of fresh seafood washed down with a decent South African wine. We took a snorkeling trip to Mnemba Island which we loved and also visited Stonetown, which was interesting.
We both fell in love with Africa and are saving for another trip for our anniversary. When we will again contact Safari Club to help us arrange it.
