Unforgettable 4-Day Chimpanzee Trekking Adventure in Gombe National Park!
Our family had an incredible experience exploring Gombe National Park with Widman Tours & Safari. From the moment we arrived, the team was professional, friendly, and attentive to our needs. The 4-day trek allowed us to immerse ourselves in the breathtaking wilderness and observe fascinating chimpanzee families up close in their natural habitat. The guides were highly knowledgeable and passionate about conservation, making the journey both educational and inspiring. The accommodations were comfortable, and the overall organization made the trip hassle-free. This adventure created lifelong memories for our family, and we highly recommend Widman Tours & Safari for anyone seeking a genuine wildlife experience in Tanzania!

Perfect safari
We did a 7-day Masai Mara - Nakuru - Navaisha - Amboseli safari.
We enjoyed it very much.
Our guide and driver Albert did a great job. He showed us animals and drove safely.
Unfortunatelly, we did not manage to have optional evening amboseli safari on day 5. Also on the last day there was only 2 hour morning safari and we came to nairobi quite early - before 1 pm.
There is a lot of time for transport because national parks are far from each other, so expect to have 2 full day safaris in masai mara and amboseli and others are just for few hours.
Do not worry about budget accomodation - all was clean and in a big tent it was quite romantic.
Food was great, nearly all courses were buffet served so we were never hungry.

If you want a unique and personal trip to Africa, work with Compass Odyssey!
I was lucky enough to be guided by Darren personally on a trip to Morocco several years ago. We’ve stayed in touch and I knew when it was time to return to Africa that Compass Odyssey was going to help pull it all together.
Other reviewers have mentioned how easy it is to work with Darren and Compass Odyssey, how the guides are wonderful, the accommodations perfect, the food delicious, etc. And that is true.
But where I really appreciate Compass Odyssey—and what I think sets them apart—is how they cater to the specific traveler and what they are looking for in a trip. These tours are not one-size-fits-all. Darren won’t recommend something that he does not think you will like or that does not meet your specifications. Instead of just saying yes, yes, yes, he will actually disagree with you and explain why he doesn’t think your idea might work for you and offer alternatives. He is also immensely patient and detail-oriented so that everything is perfectly organized and arranged.
The folks I travelled with fell in love with Africa and are already talking about a return trip with Compass Odyssey. I can’t wait!

Best Trip Ever!
Highest praise and sincere gratitude to everyone at Africa Uncovered for making our first foray into the African continent a wonderful experience on every level!
With many companies to choose from, Archie’s immediate and clear communication made it easy to choose this company over the others.
We were blessed to have Tafara as our guide for six days through South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana.
Experienced and thoroughly
knowledgeable about local wildlife, culture, and history, Tafara
listened to our preferences and helped us make excursion choices that optimized every moment and made this trip one of the best I’ve had in 73 years! Always prompt, kind, professional, and friendly, Tafara went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and safe. I can only hope he might be available when I return with my family.
FIVE STARS and my highest recommendation to Africa Uncovered! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Extraordinary knowledge that transformed the mind
Our East Africa PHOTO Safari with **Shanjoy Tours** was nothing short of extraordinary — truly a bucket list experience that exceeded every expectation! From start to finish, the entire trip was flawlessly planned and executed with precision, care, and intention.
Beth handled every detail with such thoughtfulness, and it really showed — each experience felt personal and curated just for us. The accommodations were stunning, the food was incredible, and the people we met along the way made us feel like family.
Martin was so very helpful and available almost 24/7 for any questions during the planning process and arranged to meet us during our safari which was a nice personal touch.
We were fortunate to be hosted by **Patrick and Kem** for 11 unforgettable days. Their deep knowledge of wildlife, especially animal behavior, added so much depth to our game drives. Their ability to anticipate animal movements and position yhe custom Land Cruiser perfectly made for some of the most action-packed photo opportunities imaginable.
We received **5-star service** every step of the way and truly had a marvelous time. This was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure — and we’re already planning our next journey with Shanjoy in 2026!
**Highly recommend Shanjoy Tours** to anyone dreaming of a luxury, personalized safari experience. You will be in the best hands!

Lots of knowlodge and experience
The tour was great. Except the rhino we saw every animal on safari. Especially the camping was a bonus I didn't know one needed. But honestly it was very rewarding to really se thr animals up close without the car and hear their sounds at night. The driver spoke perfect English, is very experienced and knew alot about the wildlife in general. The cook was absolutely amazing. I've not have a comparable meal in the rest of my stay. He adjusted to our preference without hesitation. Also they both were very reliable. When a time was set, everything would be ready 5 min prior. I would definitely recommend

Amazing and well planned!
I had the most amazing experience with hooves of Africa. The safari was perfectly organized. I had the opportunity to see the big five animals and MORE!
A big thanks to my guide (Elton) that really put it an effort to drive me around to make sure I didn't miss anything!
I stayed in great lodges, there was a nice pool and good food!
10/10 stars to hooves of Africa and Elton!
Thank you

Excellent experience and very good Safari. Aaron was amazing.
Great experience with them. Good hotels, Aaron was an excellent driver and overall timing was good.
We did Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Diani Beach with them. 8 days.
Areas for improvement: Better direct contact between Aanika Karibu safaris and the customer. Sometimes I had to contact them to ask who’s picking up or at what time. Other than that, it was great experience - we really enjoyed.
