Rozzie is knowledgeable, calm, courteous and very kind.
I had a wonderful experience with Rhino Tours during my Maasai Mara trip last December. The tour was well organized from start to finish, making the entire journey smooth and stress-free. Our guide was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about wildlife, which greatly enhanced the safari experience.
The game drives were exceptional, and we were fortunate to see the Big Five along with many other animals. The guide’s expertise in tracking wildlife and explaining animal behavior made each sighting more meaningful. The safari vehicle was comfortable and well maintained, allowing us to fully enjoy the long drives through the park.

JUST PERFECT
We entrusted Athumani with the organization of our honeymoon, and we have only one thing to say: THANK YOU!
The organization exceeded our expectations, and all the staff—guides, drivers, and everyone else—were incredibly welcoming and lovely! We spent 12 amazing days in quality hotels, enjoying a variety of fantastic activities! We especially loved Tanganyika, where we had magical moments, whether on Kilimanjaro, in Materuni, or during our 5-day safari with Laurent and Alphonce! We were able to see the Big Five, and it was incredible! Thank you again 🙏🏼

They are professionals
Emanuel and his team are very good. They organized everything well for us. Our guide was Charles. He did his best to make our journey pleasant. He is very respectful to us, to other tourists, and to the animals. The accommadations on safari were also clean and convinient. At the end of our safari, Emanuel also arranged a city tour for us with Gasper. He is also a very nice respectful gentleman. We enjoyed our walk with him in the city. We had a very nice experience and we recommend this company for sure.

Kenya-Tanzania Safari December 2025
From the first time we got in touch with Darren regarding planning our trip to Kenya and Tanzania, he was very responsive and was able to design a itinerary that fit our interests and budget. He scheduled time to meet with us via video conference to address questions and any concerns we had. He gave us options and provided the pros and cons for each proposed itinerary and lodging so we could make an informed decision. This was our second safari experience where we sought Compass Odyssey's help and we have once again been very pleased with the services provided. We highly recommend Compass Odyssey to anyone interested in exploring Africa.

More than a trip — a warm, well-organized, and truly eye-opening experience
We (40 & 45) traveled with Madagascar Natural Tours for four weeks through this fascinating country and were able to experience its breathtaking nature and incredible biodiversity in the best possible way.
We contacted Harilala from Madagascar Natural Tours only about eight weeks before our trip, which is quite short notice, especially during high season. Despite that, he managed to fulfill all our wishes, gave us great advice, and organized a journey that perfectly matched what we were looking for. Communication was excellent from the beginning, and we always felt safe and well looked after.
Due to political unrest, our arrival was delayed by two nights because our flight was diverted. During this stressful situation, we stayed in contact with Harilala, who reassured us and handled everything calmly and professionally. Of course, we missed one planned day of the itinerary, but he adjusted transport, accomodation and activities where necessary so we could still enjoy the rest of the journey as planned. He, the drivers, and the guides are in constant communication — we never had to worry about anything.
This was the first time we had ever booked a fully organized tour, and we are very glad we did. Without local support, we would never have seen so much of the country or been able to travel between destinations so safely and efficiently. The road conditions are very challenging, and we were truly impressed by the drivers’ skills (Fanambinana, Dominique and Aina are the best) and even their mechanical knowledge when needed.
Whenever we had questions, we could reach Harilala via WhatsApp. Sometimes he replied within a minute, sometimes a bit later — but always reliably. It’s clear he is coordinating many travelers at once, especially in high season, and we always felt supported.
Towards the end of our trip, we spent several days with our guide Adrien, who went above and beyond to show us even more bird, insect, and lemur species. His knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm for his work were amazing. He even showed us his home town, which was a very special and personal experience.
Madagascar is a developing country, and infrastructure and processes can be very different from what visitors may be used to at home. What stood out most to us was how dedicated everyone was to making our stay a good one. If something didn’t go exactly as planned, there was always a solution. The Malagasy people are incredibly warm and supportive — it was wonderful to experience.
If you travel through Madagascar with an open heart and curiosity for other cultures, you will have an unforgettable time.
We would absolutely travel with Madagascar Natural Tours again.

Fantastic tour operator and an excellent driver guide!
We would give more stars to Bush Craft Safaris if we could! We took a 3 day Uganda/Rwanda tour that included Golden Monkey Trekking in Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda, as well as some local sights & sounds in Kigali. Overall, it was a trip of a lifetime!
Planning: Planning was a breeze with Innocent at the helm. He was quick to respond via whatsapp, working with us closely to understand our preferences. He went the extra mile to make sure our permits were secured even when one of the people in our party ran into personal issues and it was not clear if they would be able to join us. One thing we really liked is Innocent & team sending us screenshots of various permit and accommodation bookings giving us the peace of mind that everything was being set up and organized well. I wish more tour operators did that! Payment was also safe and transparent - sending a large sum of money internationally can be scary, but Bush Craft had a secure, modern, online payment gateway which we could use to pay via credit card. They were also flexible enough for us to clear any remaining balances during the Safari
During the Safari: Allan was an incredible driver and guide. He was an expert naturalist (knew all the birds in the area!), an excellent driver (made us feel safe while driving through foggy mountain roads!), and a great conversationalist. Allan was there to help us at every step of the way - ensuring we got porters at the Bwindi trek, making sure our meals at the accommodations were good, making adjustments to our itinerary based on our energy levels. At the end of the 3 days, Allan felt more like a friend we were meeting after a long time!
Dealing with unexpected events: Unfortunately, our airline lost our bags and our checked bags never reached Kigali International Airport. Upon hearing this unfortunate news, the Bush Craft team sprung into action - helping change our itinerary so that we could go back to Kigali the next day to get our bags without compromising on any of our planned excursions. Innocent went the extra mile to constantly call Rwandair to ensure our bags were routed to us correctly. Allan had to drive multiple extra hours to help shuttle us back and forth from the airport to make sure we could retrieve our bags. We are very thankful to the Bush Craft team for being supportive and flexible!
Overall Experience: Both Rwanda and Uganda are fantastic countries! They are safe, filled with natural beauty, and feel like paradise on earth! Meeting the Mountain Gorillas up close is a life-changing experience. You will not go wrong in handing Bush Craft Safaris the opportunity to make this a trip of a lifetime for you

A perfect trip, organized by Marietjie (Map2Africa)!
A perfect trip, that's what Map2Africa arranged for us! Everything was perfectly prepared and send via an app to us. It helped us a lot during our trip. We liked the spots and lodges Marietjie choose for us very much, even as the arranged activities. This will be a trip we'll never forget. It was not the first holiday Marietjie arranged for us and it will definitly not be the last.

He was really funny, positiv and nice.
We saw a lot of animals, and it was really great. Our tour guide knew the right places and explained everything we needed to know. He was very welcoming and waited for everyone until the last photo was taken.

Unforgettable experience
I would like to thank you very much for organizing the climb to Kilimanjaro. When ordering the climb, communication with CK Meruslopes with Mr. Jerome Hotti was completely seamless. The team assigned to us with the main guide Hussein was excellent. Hussein is a wise man with many years of experience, supervised his team to make sure that everything was as it should be. Everyone was very friendly and tried to do their best to help us successfully climb to the top of Uhuru Peak. All of us from our 4-member group could do it without major health problems, also thanks to good acclimatization, which was due to the correctly chosen walking pace and the correct recommended route. I must also praise the food that the chef prepared for us during the climb, because the food was excellent and there was always plenty of it. I definitely recommend CK Meruslopes.

It was amazing! They are trustful and gave us the best experience!
We did a two-day safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro, fly-in fly-out from Zanzibar.
Mike is reliable and genuinely cares about making the experience a great one. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us two amazing days and a fantastic experience. We are very satisfied and highly recommend it!
