Amazing Safari
From the beginning of our research to find our agency for the safari, Deograsias was reactive for answering our questions in details and adapt the trip to our criterias and constraints. The safari in itself was perfect, mainly thanks to Dismass, our French-speaking guide, real expert of wild animals. Even though we asked a lot of questions about animals and Tanzania in general, he always had an answer to provide. We really enjoyed spending those 3 days with him and for sure will call Deograsias to have Dismass as a guide if we have the chance to do another safari.

Incredible Tanzania
We landed in Arusha on August 15, 2018 and headed straight for the hotel. The tour operators and the hotel staff were friendly.....received a warm welcome and the atmosphere and ambiance was just amazing. The wildlife is great to watch and experience and the kids just loved it.

Stunningly Excellent!
The elephants were absolutely amazing! In Lake Manyara, they got so close to the car that I could almost reach out and touch them. Tarangire had the best balance of wildlife!

Unique thoughtfulnes
Richard and Steve are an incredible duo. Not only they delivered on all the expectations around the Gorilla trekking, but also they went above and beyond by taking me out to local restaurants in their spare time.
This will make your Uganda experience significantly better

Adventure Delivered!
John Muhoho and his drivers did a great job of giving us a 12-day tour of eight conservancies and national parks in Kenya and Tanzania. Our accommodations were very nice and we saw all of the animals we wanted to see and more. Also, the safari package CKC put together for us was very competitive with the other tour operators and travel agents I considered. I would not hesitate to recommend John and CKC to anyone considering similar tours in East Africa.

Beyond Spectacular!
Our safari experience was AMAZING!! Odyssey Safari did an outstanding job communicating prior to our safari with what to expect, pack and travel itinerary. Our guide Simon was an absolute pleasure, and accommodating. He was extremely knowledgeable and happily communicated this knowledge and answers to our parties many wildlife and cultural questions. Through Simon's efforts we were able to view successfully the Big 5.
We can't wait to come back in the near future with our young adult age children.

Trip itself was wonderful
Overall we had a great experience, and definitely feel we got good value for the price we paid. I can't say much about the booking process, as I wasn't really involved. I did find the
payment method a bit odd, as I was told simply to "carry cash" the first morning, and then it turned out the idea was that we carried $3000 USD to make the payment. It worked out with visa, but cost extra money and time on the first morning.
The only other issue we ran into was that the itinerary we were given was completely unrealistic on a few of the days (meaning we weren't able to see/do all the things we had expected). It would turn out that there were 10+ hours of driving (which in itself we didn't mind), but the itinerary had said there would be a morning game drive/visiting of various sites etc but realistically there was zero time for that.
Other than these things we had a wonderful experience! Seth arranged for us to see all the parks we asked for, and we were able to stick to our budget. Our guide in Kenya, Ruben, was so kind and knowledgable and wanted to make sure we had a great trip! He was excellent at his job, and we were so happy with him as our guide. He went out of his way for us, and we feel very lucky to have had him take us through Kenya. We also had a great guide in Tanzania, Salim, who was equally knowledgeable and managed to find some very impressive animals for us!
I would recommend Seth for booking your trip, he delivered on what we asked for an we had an incredible and unforgettable experience! Just be very clear in your communications, and make sure you let him know what things are most important to you (we did this, and had no disappointments when it came to those areas!).

Great trip despite difficult circumstances for KWSS.
We arrived 9/5 and after very long flights and a 90 minute wait for our visa were so pleased that our driver from KWSS was still waiting to take us to the EKA hotel at 11p.m. We had booked a 12 night mid-range package that included Masai Mara, Samburu, Elsemere and a flight to Entebbe where we went to trek with gorillas. I must admit, I was a bit apprehensive, but the outstanding reviews for KWSS eased my mind so we followed through and went with KWSS. We had the trip of a lifetime. Our experiences, the lodges, and the food were all outstanding. Gorillas by far the best for us! The only down side, being in our 60’s, the drives were much longer than we anticipated so it made it challenging for us, but then we would have missed the countryside and cultural experiences if we had not driven. When we were on our way back to Nairobi on the 14th we were told OT had been in a serious auto accident. This had us very concerned, but our driver took us to the airport for our flight to Uganda, and everything went as planned. More long drives, but beautiful countryside and the gorillas were worth every minute. On our return flight to Nairobi on the 17th our driver was there to meet us at 9:30 at night. He told us more about OT’s auto accident and that he was in a coma. We were concerned for him since we had met him and found him to be a very nice man. We also realized that we had been extremely fortunate that this did not happen before or at the beginning of our trip. I have read the nightmare stories from others since our return, and we know those stories could have been us. We believe OT and KWSS were a very good company before OT’s accident. I understand how this situation created nightmares for others, but am so grateful that because of the timing ours was so wonderful.
