The whole experience definetly lived up to expectations.
The lodge was out of this world and the food was amazing.
The tour guides were very friendly and showed great knowledge and care.

Our two day safari was wonderful! We saw many animals in their natural environments.
The safari company was very accommodating! We were pleased with the overnight accommodations as the meals. We saw many, many animals.

This is one of Africa's iconic game parks
Etosha is one of Southern Africa's iconic game parks. Namibia is a very safe country to visit, the main tarred roads are good although the dirt roads need caution and preferably a four wheel drive. The wildlife is easy to see with a good selection of mammals, the bird life is exceptional so it is worth self driving around the park and taking one's time to look at them all. There are excellent bird books and apps for smart phones to help identify them all. The landscape is generally flat and arid with very little dense vegetation making game viewing easy. The southern hemisphere spring around September is a good time to visit, the weather is warm during the day and the nights are cool, it rarely rains at this time of the year. Accomodation is good, clean and comfortable with a choice of camping and various levels of chalet depending on the budget. It does need to be booked well in advance as it is a very popular destination. The camps all have WiFi and cell phone coverage. The main camps serve barbecues and buffet food which is freshly prepared and good quality. Food allergies and sensitivities can be catered for. A choice of game meats is available with South African wines and local beers. The camps have well maintained swimming pools for cooling off in the afternoons. The staff are all friendly and helpful, and the guides are knowlegeable if you choose to go on night drives etc. The highlight for me was the birding, 132 species seen in 14 days and some award winning photos to bring back!

Very beautiful and special place.
Safari experience in Tanzania is very unique and different from everything I have experienced so far. Wildlife is great, landscapes are magnificent. We slept in camps and didn't really know what we are getting into, so we ended up in kamps with no mobile service and electricity without previous warning. But the scenery in the morning was worth it.

Review about Namibia by Matt OZW
Namibia is a safe country to visit and contains a variety of stunning scenery from desert and sand dunes at Sossusvlei, mountains, coastal towns with old German colonial architecture such as Swakopmund, great game reserves like Etosha and Daan Viljoen and others. Bird life is exceptional as are the animals. It is sparsely populated and the people are friendly.

A great visit!
We lucked out with the early Spring weather and a full moon, even a bit of smoke to glorify the dawn ride sunrises; and the Tydon safari crew were enthusiastic and helpful to a T.... Bouquets to Liesl for her off-roading and the pile of hyena cubs! We got up close with so many species! Thank you.

Budget safari to Masai Mara
While our safari was on a budget, the experience was invaluable! The wildlife and the migration during this time of year were truly breathtaking and the customer service of both the driver and the cook (George and George!) were outstanding. We were so fortunate to have a private van and our driver George was knowledgeable, provided us with great views, and even helped other tour groups that were stuck in the mud (we never got stuck - George was clearly an experienced pro).

Compass Odyssey gave us an awesome experience and we had no worries about arrangements.
Darren & Kate we very helpful throughout the whole planning stage and when it came time for our trip. Senalala in Greater Kruger was a faboulos place with top notch guides. All the transports and guides were very informative and friendly. Safaris in Kruger and Chobe gave you pretty much an up front and center seat for the greatest wild animal show you’ll ever see. Everybody should go to Africa at least once in their life time.

Amazing experience with great friendly guides, accommodation, food
Ask for David as safari guide. He is awesome, funny, and very knowledgeable. Also ask for Action as a chef. He made killer food for us every meal! Geofrey was also fantastic with email communication throughout the whole process.
David is the Lion King!!!!- he made us count more than 100+ lions in the wild. amazing!

An unforgetable experience with a guide/ driver with excellent knowledge about the nature.
We went to the Manyara park, the Ngorongoro crater and the Tarangiri park in 3 days.
We had a great guide/ driver; Loi. His knowledge about the nature and surroundings in the parks was incredible. He explained a lot of things without us having to ask. And if he didn’t know the answer, he looked it up in the book with all the species in it. He anticipated our wishes about when to stop. And, important to me; he had a great sense of humor!
He is also a very defensive driver, so really ‘pole pole’!
The owners are very friendly and they are taking good care of the clients. The communication, oral and written was clear and informative. I didn’t know what to expect, but I felt comfortable with this treatment.
The tours itself were impressive, beautiful birds to watch and wonderful views. We’ve seen the ‘big five’. The lodges were nicely picked, especially the place where we started from in Arusha and the one with tents was awesome.
I’d love to come again some day.
Keep up your splendid work!
