more than What I expected
It all started with Mwanaidi Hassan who helped us make all the arrangements. We were picked up at the airport by Elias (our designated guide). The first day we met Mwanaidi and were presented with a basket of goodies as a gift in celebration of our anniversary.
Elias was very accommodating on our way to Tarangire since we needed to get some last minute supplies (Malaria medication) and on our way to Serengeti, (Phyllis got sick the night before and we had to stop at a Pharmacy.
Our goal was to see the wildlife and record our experiences by taking photos. Elias has eyes of an eagle, he was able to spot cats at a great distance and even in the tall grass. We were able to see the big five, and experience watching the wildebeast cross the Mara river. I am pleased with the memories I came back with. The accommodations were excellent, transportation was in great condition. Elias is a great driver, good spotter of wildlife and well mannered individual, and he would go out of his way to take care of your property and for us to have a good experience. Many times I asked him to stop to take photographs of animals, which we just had photographed, however, I was interested on the angle of the shot. He also, made sure that we had a good spot to watch the animals (in relation to the other vehicles) I would recommend him highly. He made sure that we had a complete experience of the wildlife in Africa. Mwanaidi had a surprise for us at a couple of lodges we stayed in. She had communicated to the management that we were celebrating our anniversary and the lodge staff performed the Hakuna Matata song on our last day of stay.

Amazing experience with knowledgeable and helpful guides
Very friendly team with a lot of knowledge about the area. We're very helpful from taking care of us medically incas anything went wrong and just cheering us up if we were struggling. The food the team cooked was incredible - a three course meal every evening and a lovely packed lunch during the day. They even went the extra mile and baked a cake for someone's birthday! They were more than happy to carry all our belongings and our tents were put up for us on arrival at our next camp. An all round amazing experience which I will never forget - all made better by Chacha and his team!

Amazing trekking and safari with Chacha Tours Africa
My trip, composed of the Kilimanjaro trekking and a three-day safari, was amazing !
A big thank to my friend Chacha and his great team for having made it so awesome. The organisation couldn't have been more professional, and the atmosphere more friendly. Chacha always responds to messages very quickly, is constantly looking after you, and makes sure everything is perfect... and it was the case !
I came back to France with thousands of wonderful memories and pictures, and my goal achieved ! Consequently I strongly recommend Chacha Tours Africa for any trekking or safari requirements

Natureways offers a lot in terms of amazing guides, food and well set up safaris.
The safari that we went on, the Tamarind Safari really felt like you were in the bush. The guides (Trust, Manu and Norman) added a lot to our safari. The canoes were excellent, and the food was too. Our time with Natureways was pleasurable and more than we expected.
Thank You.

Walking safari, Meru und Kili
Very nice and well organized tours. A total of three parts were booked at Kanuth and we were very satisfied with all the guides and the respective implementation. Punctuality and reliability clearly above the African average. We liked the more experienced mountain guides as well as the super chef. Concerns should be given to the prices of the offers generally that one still gets charged a good portion for drinking on top of payment. That surprised us.
Highlight was clearly the walking safari in the highlands.

Our Safari Experience was All We Hoped for and More
Working with Darren and Kate, the operators of Compass Odyssey was a joy. They were quick to respond to any questions we had regarding our trip and were able to put together an outstanding itinerary, which made for a most memorable trip. I was impressed with the detailed itinerary of our days in Africa sent to us, which was followed by an easy to follow abridged itinerary as our departure date drew near.
From the moment we were met by Darren at the airport on arrival, until we left Africa thirteen days later, out trip went smoothly. The lodgings for the safaris were more than adequate, and we were impressed with both the facilities and the excellent staff. Our safari guides were exceptional, and we were able to see wide life that took our breaths away.
I have already passed on to my friends, who have expressed a desire to visit Africa, Compass Odyssey's name. If I were to book another trip to this wonderful continent, I would choose Compass Odyssey again!

Good 5-days safari from Mwanza to Arusha for a young couple
My Girlfriend and me had a very good safari trip, we had 5 days of safari we started in near Mwanza at Bujora Cultural Centre (a good place to lean about the Sukuma tribe and it is necessary to see they dance show). The reason we chose this company is that they were very profesional in the conversations we had
We drove directly to the Serengeti, or we stopped briefly on the road when we wanted to buy something, which was not a problem.
We went to the Grumeti River and Retima hippo pool where we saw hippos and giant Nile crocodile’s unforgettable sight. We stayed overnight at Seronera Camp Site where the hyenas comes very close during the evening / night, which is quite an experience. Our chef Emmanuel made the best food I had during my 3 month in Tanzania, it must be said that we have eaten at some of the most expensive hotels in Mwanza
We had a sunrise game drive in the park at 06 am where we came very close to a cheetah. We spent the night at a camp located just on the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, which was freezing cold.
Third day we spent in the crater, which is a very great experience (It should be said that I would not tell too much about the experience as I do not think it could be explained properly in words)
4rd day we was out to see to small tribes Hadzabe and Datoga if I were you I would not miss the chance to see these tribes
Manyara National Park was actually probably my favorite, but it is very different from the others we have been in, but do not expect to see tree-climbing lions.
We saw many different animals and our guide was good at explaining them in good English

Amazing Safari
4 of 5 stars
Pending review
AmazingMemories is a genuine and reliable Safari / tour agency. Anne and Joseph were very prompt and patient with the answers to our numerous questions prior to our trip. We wre met at the airport and escorted to the hotel on arrival and the drivers were courteous , knowledgeable , patient and helpful. the accommodations were excellent and food very good and hygienic.
The wild life views were stunning and truly Amazing. We visited 7 parks / game reserves in 12 days and all had its own charm. The only difficulty we experinced was the bad condition of the roads in the national parks and the long drives between the parks . Had we known we would have flown the long segments. Overall we strongly recommend Amazing memories Safaris.
