Honeymoon safari in Tanzania and Zanzibar
5/5

We used Paul to book our honeymoon.

Having never been on safari before, and prior to speaking with Paul, we were a little overwhelmed with the prospect of booking our first trip to Africa. Paul was very patient with our queries and took time to understand our requirements. He responded quickly and personally, taking time to understand our budget and where he could best add value to our trip before providing a tailored itinerary. We visited two parks (Selous & Ruaha) followed by some R&R in Zanzibar.

Pre-travel advice was great, but it wasn’t until we landed in Dar Es Salaam and subsequent transfers where we truly appreciated the Paul’s efforts. The transfers and background logistics were seamless. Having experienced local customs, taxis, internal flights, etc. first hand we were so glad that Paul stepped in to arrange for us – we would have been naive to think we could have arranged on our own.

Moving on to the safaris, Paul booked us into the most incredible camps. The experience far exceeded our expectations and it was clear that the camp managers personally knew and respected Paul.

Paul personally guided us during our stay in Ruaha. He was exceptionally knowledgeable of local wildlife (as would be expected), but mixed in a good sense of humour made the game drives great fun. Paul was also well integrated with the other local guides so we were never to miss out if another guide stumbled across a viewing somewhere else in the park.

The gushing sentiments sound like the introduction for an internet dating profile, but we couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon and I would (and will be) wholeheartedly recommend(ing) Paul to anyone who is looking to book a safari.

I've wanted to go to South Africa since I was 12.
5/5

Planning our Southern Africa trip with Darren was so much fun. He answered my millions of questions quickly. He even answered some of them multiple times and answered the dumb ones like they weren't dumb. I'd wanted to go to South Africa for 53 years and this trip did not disappoint. The guides and drivers that assisted us along the way were efficient and knowledgeable. They were fun to have join our travel group. We were always met cheerfully on time at the airport or our hotel. In Cape Town, we were able to adjust our schedules to watch whales, drive through neighborhoods and spend extra time in places we loved. Our guide, Garth, was amazing. The accommodations selected were perfect. We especially enjoyed Tintagel and Senalala. Both were beautiful and had wonderful staffs. The Garden Lodge went out of its way to be helpful. We even got a special pitcher of ice tea when we mentioned we'd been missing it. The guides on our safaris at Senalala(guide Darren)and Garden Lodge(guide Tefo)made us feel like we'd just had the best safari they'd ever conducted. We saw the Big Five, had beautiful camera shots set up for us, learned so much and had so, so much fun. If you're planning a trip to Southern Africa, use Compass Odyssey they are magnificent and worth every penny. We've home a week and have looked at my pictures every morning. Truly it was the trip of a lifetime.

A wonderful Ugandan experience
5/5

Thank you gorilla tours for organising such a fantastic Ugandan holiday. Safe to say it was a holiday of a lifetime. Great accommodation all reasonably priced; a safe, knowledgeable driver and of course the beauty of Uganda. Seeing the Chimps and Gorillas is something everyone should do once and use Gorilla Tours if you can.

Perfect 5 Day Safari in Tanzania
5/5

Me and my sister booked a 5 day safari, including Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.
The contact with Simon before was very easy, he always responded quickly, via mail or whatsapp. Because we just booked two weeks in advance, we had to transfer half of the money which was a bit complicated with our bank, but Simon helped us a lot.

Included were all the fees for the park, 1 bottle of water per person per day and meals. You just have to pay extra for the tips, but that was ok for us. What you pay and what you get for this is more than fair, it was an amazing experience.

The day before the safari, when we arrived in arusha, simon told us that kevin and our guide come to our hotel for a short briefing. They made us feel welcome and comfortable.

Then the safari started. We payed the rest of the money in cash and then started off to Tarangire. Our Guide, Goodluck Martin, is like Simon said, one of the finest guides. And thats true.
Goodluck took care of us, asked what we want to see, he had so much knowledge about everything and we had such a fun time. He spotted many animals we even didnt see coming. We can just recommend him and his company.

So in total, all the accomodations were the perfect mix - from the lodge to the tented Angani Camp. We slept in the wild and this was an amazing experience. The food as well as the lunch boxes were always delicious, it couldnt have been any better.

Thanks so much for this incredible experience!
