An Incredible Relaxing Experience
Lovely restaurant with a beautiful view and arsty vibe due to cool and chic artwork. Fresh vegetables from the gardens that can be seen from the deck really make a huge, fresh difference in the meals. Presentation is top class!

How to experience the beautiful nature and the friendly and warm people of Kenya.
Federico and Martin (“Mato”) were the best guides we could have had in our tour around Kenya. They have been always professional and friendly at the same time, proud to show us some of the most famous destinations such as Masai Mara but also towns and places where tourists not often go. It was also interesting to know from them a lot of information about their country and culture as both of them speak English and Federico is very fluent also in Italian. I think that sooner or later I'll ask them to take me to visit Kenya again!

Exceeded our expectations in every way
Prior to booking our travel plans we requested itineraries and quotes from 3 companies for our South African Adventure.
Compass Odyssey did an amazing job in putting together a package that worked with your time frame.
We researched every accommodation that was suggested to discover they were all within the top 5 on Trip Advisor.
Darren & Kate paid attention to all the details and we had some amazing experiences that will last a lifetime.
I would like to give a shout out to all our guides during the trip who took us to some of their local spots that weren't included but added to our overall experience, Keith in Cape Town, Mortimer in Victoria Falls and Chic in Johannesburg.
Our two safari destinations, Senalala in Kruger, (HJ was our guide and took us out in a jeep twice a day) & Camp Xakanaxa, in Okavengo Delta (Conrad enjoyed the exposing us to Oscar, the local hippo) were highlights as we encountered numerous animals, birds, flora & fauna.
All we spoke to on the journey felt the same, so congratulations! Keep up the great work.
We met other Compass travelers on our trip and have exchanged contact info with all so we could stay in touch and share photos.
The personal attention to each of us shown by Compass worked out well.
I can say unreservedly we will recommend Compass to everyone who says they want to go to southern Africa. You and Kate are the best. When we sit down to plan out something more for Morocco some day, you will be the first ones we contact.

A Hike among the Gorillas
I was very pleased with my Gorilla Tours experience. Gorilla Tours arranged for me to travel with another family and we had a great drive through some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. The Airport Rest House and the Gorilla Valley Resort provided excellent accommodation. We saw gorillas after a short tough hike which left us with time to tour a local village, Rushaga. It was a great experience. I strongly recommend Gorilla Tours. The company was well organized, accommodating and provided an excellent service.

My first safari (Kenya & Uganda) holiday and I’m really happy I went with Matoke Tours
- My first ever safari holiday. Having read the excellent feedback from other reviewers on Matoke Tours, I got in contact with them and Matoke staff quickly and diligently helped me organize my trip (14 day, Kenya and Uganda).
- My wife and I had a fantastic time in both Kenya and Uganda - The itinerary worked really well, capturing the best parts of both Kenya and Uganda. Also thanks to our drivers who were professional, knowledgeable and friendly and the staff at the camps we stayed at (especially Eden Mara camp, Masai Mara and Isunga Lodge, edge of Kibale forest)
- Highlights of the tour included Masai Mara Great Migration and watching the Mountain gorillas in Bwindhi forest.
- Matoke tours surpassed my expectations and I’ve already recommended the company to my friends and family.

Great value for money: friendly, flexible and experienced guide.
We had a great journey with Richard as our guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. The tour was tailored to our wishes, well organized and the overall experience was awe-inspiring. We chose budget options mostly, which offered very pleasant accommodations along the way.

My Kenyan Dream Came True.
My Bespoke 5bday tour with my dear friend Kelvis to find Elephants in Kenya was delivered. This company couldn't do enough for us both. True professionals. I was so happy with them I've booked again for next year. Don't hesitate to book and make your dreams come true.
