Provided our family with an organized, unique, and exceptional experience of Southern Africa.
Darren of Compass Odyssey helped created the most memorable trip for our family. Communications prior to our departure were timely, informative and extremely helpful. Darren took extensive amount of time to address all questions and concerns from our group, thoroughly. Upon arrival, the entire trip experience exceeded our expectations. Each leg of the trip was flawlessly organized and each guide was welcoming and prepared. Darren incorporated all of our "wish list" activities and locations and guided us through Southern Africa in the most efficient manner. All lodging, inter-continental travel, guides, and activities are properly researched and vetted, making our experience significantly more enjoyable and stress-free.
I would highly recommend Compass Odyssey to help you develop your trip to Africa. The attention to detail, preparation and overall experience will leave you with the most memorable experience. Thanks Darren & Compass Odyssey for everything!

FIRST EXPERIENCE, BUT NOT THE LEAST (I HOPE ...).
It is the first travel in Africa for us.
I'm Marco 56 yo, travelling with my guys: Filippo 24 yo and Gianluca 20 yo.
Even if for the first time, we tried to experience something real, safe but non absolutely easy and guided.
We visited Botswana, Moremi and Chobe, with a fast escape in Zimbabwe to Victoria Falls, by Toyota Land Cruiser double roof tends, perfectly equipped.
Megan Warrington planned a travel various, smart, perfect for our expectances; assistance, communications, service, living up were excellent.
We prove gratitude to Megan because African journey is established into our hearts!
Marco, Filippo e Gianluca.

Excellent budget safari, excellent operator!
We had an absolutely great time with Chris on our safari. He was very kind and professional, and Lutea was very transparent and an incredible value! I highly recommend them! The tour was a ton of fun and we hope to come back to Kenya to do it again.

Great Experience. Would definitely do another trip through Gorilla Safaris Uganda.
This was a great trip. I did a safari and boat tour at the Lake Mburo National Park. Gorilla Safaris picked me up from the hotel, drove me around all day, then dropped me of at the airport after the safari. We saw all sorts of animals, including: giraffes, warthogs, impala, zebras, monkeys, topi, water buck, water buffalo, crocodiles, hippos, and several types of birds. The drive to and from the park was also like an extension of the tour. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic and made this a fantastic experience. I would absolutely book another trip through Gorilla Safaris.

We had a wonderful time in each place we stayed - that were were all special.
Each camp we stayed at was special in their own unique way. We particularly enjoyed our stay in the Kalahari at the first camp we visited. All of us were very impressed by the professionalism and heartfelt warmness of the camp staff at each location. The guides in Botswana and Zambia were most impressive with their knowledge of flora, fauna and habitat, and the safaris they conducted.
Besides safari, we visited Cape Town and had a lovely day visiting the nearby wineries, and went to Johannesburg and Soweto, which was an important end to the trip - a reminder of Apartheid and the challenges that continue, not only in South Africa but also here in the US.

Very professional and honest. Good guide and great meal, all in a 1 day game drive
Very good the safari in the Moremi game park for one day. Maybe 2 days of safari allowed to see other scenarios.

Well-Coordinated and Comprehensive Safari Tour

we've been on many safaris and this was the best by far.
I was very impressed with Shazmin the consultant who replied to my initial e mail. She spent a lot of time working on a suitable itinerary that would work for a very mixed group . our driver/guide was Malia and he was perfectly suited. Not only knowledgeable about the animals, plants birds etc his general knowledge of his own country, Africa and the rest of the world was impressive. He was courteous, neat , punctual and went out of his way to make this the most memorable experience ever. The follow up by leopard consultants and airport transfers were exellent. Although this is a big company the attention to detail is phenomenal and we felt that they treat every person as if they are of the highest importance. These few days by far exceeded our expectations and we have done many many safaris in southern and east Africa. I would go so far as to say that if anyone is considering a safari this is THE only option.

Weekend trip to Madikwe
Emmelyn was unbelievably helpful, responsive, and accommodating. From start to finish she was available to assist with questions and suggestions. Emmelyn planned, coordinated, and booked a trip for myself and four colleagues from Gaborone, Botswana to Madikwe in South Africa. Our van showed up promptly as scheduled and our driver Frank escorted us through both countries' Customs and safely to Madikwe. We stayed at Tao Lodge which was unbelievable- even better and more luxurious than expected. The food was great, the lodging was perfect and the game drives were incredible!! We saw SO many animals with young including rhinos, lions, cheetahs, and tons of elephants! Would DEFINITELY use Safari Tours again, it took so much of the stress out of planning a trip! Can't recommend Emmelyn enough!
