All promises have been kept.
We booked by e-mail. we have been made a very detailed and absolutely the most economical proposal among all those we had found. We were fearful that things were not going well. They kept all their promises, we saw wonderful things and spent much less than others known during Safari. Compliments.

Great experience of Southern Africa.
Never having visited Africa before, we went for the organized tour option. We are very glad we did!
We felt very well taken care of, being picked up on time every day and at every spot. Everyone were really friendly and helpful without overdoing it -just the way we like it!
Our tour included all sights around Capetown, Senalala luxury safari camp, Victoria falls, Garden lodge in Chobe and Rra Dinare in Okawango Delta.
We loved going on the safaris, really a great experience all the way. Especially at Senalala and Rra Dinare, which felt a bit more in the wilderness and with less crowds of tourists than Chobe to be honest.
I would recommend anyone visiting Southern Africa to use Compass Odyssey to organize their trip. We had a wonderful experience all the way but we'd suggest that you bring some seasick-pills for the flight into Okawango Delta. Especially if you fly in from Chobe, that was one long, humpy trip!

ATTENTION SCAM!!!
HE DID NOT RETURN US 250$,
We ( me and my wife) booked with Edward Wilson a package safari ( 4 days in Serengeti Ngongoro Lake Manyara 640$ each) +Kilimanjaro ( 2 days 250$ each).
After the end of Safari Edward delayed our Kilimanjaro trekking of one day without asking it in advance to us. For us it was not possible to start the trekking with one day of delay as we had already bought the flight to Zanzibar.
At this point we tried to speak with him, call him and text and we finally met him (one day after the end of our Safari). He refunded us 250$ on that day telling us that he was going to return the remaining 250$ the week after.
We then tried to contact him plenty of times called texted him but no reply was received and his phone was off.
NO RETURN OF 250$ WAS GIVEN!!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY

Amazing experience in Masai Mara- Kenya
The tour was well planned and guided. The knowledge of Richard who took us for the 4 days was really commendable . We didn't even realize that we travelled over 1000 kms in 4 days covering Masai Mara, Lake Nivasha and Lake Nakuru. May be some improvement can be done at Lenchada camp with regards to the food. Otherwise no complaints at all. Well organized trip. Before as well as during the trip, the response from Mr Lennox was super fast.

Incredible Safari!
Tony is truly a fabulous guide and creates an amazing safari experience. We got to see a wide range of animals and Tony is fabulous at reading tracks and spotting rare animals. Tony goes above and beyond to ensure your safari is a safe, comfortable, and exciting experience. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Tony and his staff!

The guides, the porters, the owner(former porter) were everything I'd hoped for and more than I had expected. Special thanks to Rasheed, Respick, Bennedict, George and Sabino

Amazing safari that exceeded expectations
Our 6 night safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Diani Beach was a dream come true. From the initial quote to our sad goodbye at the end of the trip everything went very smoothly. Lucy was very easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions quickly making the booking process a very easy one. The personalized service you get with Serene including being greeted at the airport by Lucy herself was greatly appreciated. We booked a private tour and had Symon as our driver. He was amazing. He has so much knowledge about the animals, Kenya, current events or anything else you want to talk about. He never led us astray and with his guidance we had some perfect safari moments such as a lion crossing right beside our van or elephants crossing in front of Mt Kilimanjaro. Since our safari was private Symon was able to make amendments to the schedule as we went along if we wanted to stay longer in one place to contemplate the animals, or change activities around a bit. November was an excellent time to go as well, we saw so many animals out grazing (particularly in Masai Mara) or just hanging out on the side of the road. The budget accommodations included with our tour were all very nice and clean with various charms. Kenya overall was a wonderful country. The people are exceedingly friendly and the food was generally very good. The roads, however, are often dirt roads and can be very bumpy and dusty, and the stretches of paved roads between cities are filled with trucks and the emissions can be very bad. That being said we loved our safari and know we definitely made the right choice booking with Serene East Africa Safaris. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience!
I highly recommend Kenya Safari Arcade. Everything was perfect with them. I travelled alone, and they organized the transfer to the airport, the flight and the camp booking. I chose a 3 day safari to Masai Mara and it was wonderful. The flight was the best option for me, because it was a short stay. The camp was beyond my expectations, I stayed at Ilkeliani Camp and it was fantastic. The staff was very kind, the tents were clean, comfortable and very well decorated, as well as common spaces. The food was excellent, I had to congratulate the chef when I left! I was also very lucky with my driver, Joseph was very dedicated and I could see all the big animals! I definitely do the same choice if I go again!
