Trip of a lifetime
It was everything I was expecting and more. Literally everything was nicer/cleaner/better than I was expecting. Mark Cahill, the managing director, was very friendly and easy to talk to about any questions regarding the trip. He customized several details of the trip to accommodate our wishes and travel needs. The trip went very smoothly. If you want a hassle free way to see one of the most incredible places in the world, choose Odyssey Safaris!

Professionalism and Hospitality
As someone who loves to travel all over the world, Tanzania has probably been the one that was the greatest surprise, full of excitement, hospitality, amazing nature and wildlife and an out of the beaten track feeling.
I can't say much about It Started in Africa except that they provide me with the best experience in my life in terms of traveling. The Serengeti is something EVERYONE should visit in their lifetime, and go as soon as possible, it may be very different in the future. Needless to say, I had a smooth tour, with a fantastic guide who seem to had bionic eyes :) I did not expect to see so many wildlife like I did. Congratulations, will definitely come back one day.

Highly Recommended
I absolutely loved my experiences with Afrishare. I have been to Tanzania three times with them, traveling on safaris to Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, etc. I got to visit traditional Masai homes, and on safari I was lucky enough to see every animal imaginable---even a black rhino! I found the prices very reasonable, there are different price points available for both the budgeting traveler and the luxury traveler. I cannot give enough good praise for the owner of the company, Ibrah. Not only is he a wonderful host, guide, and travel expert, he is also an amazing person in that he gives back to his community. He works with underprivileged children and community leaders to improve the quality of life in Moshi. I can't wait to go back to Tanzania for the fourth time with him.

Magnifique experience reaching Kilimanjaro, great customer service from Transkibo!!!
Maginifique!!! i think it was one of the greatest trips we have ever done. I am Mexican and my husband is French, so we opt for the Marangu route, because i was very scared about the cold weather and sleeping in tents, so we opt for the huts. My husband look into other agencies before choosing Transkibo, Thomas from Transkibo was very proactive responding all our questions, and i think for Rapport Quality Price, i think we made a great choice! Thomas and Abraham were there since we arrived, one of our luggage did;t arrive, so they arrange everything so our trip could start as planned and they deliver us the delayed luggage at 3700 mts!!! ;-) Also a GREAT experience thanks to our guides, i will recommend you ask for Balthazar and his assistant guide, Stevenson!!! What a blessing! they were so kind and always smiling!! Everyone from the team was great, the chef, the porters, always with a smilie.. As i told to Balthazar, the smile keeps us strong and bring us to reach the summit!!! We really enjoyed every part of it.. i can't think about anything negative, because even the difficult things.. as altittute, fatigue, toilets (!!!) it is part of the experience.. and being that close to nature and with people as the team we had, so humble and happy, makes you realize how much we missed sometimes in our " developed " countries!! Also in the way back, before leaving, Abraham and Thomas were there to guide us where to do some shopping before we head to the airport!! Anyway, any comments/questions, feel free to ask me!

The Linyanti has an amazing variety and number of animals and birds.
The Linyanti was an amazing part of our trip to Botswana. The number and variety of animals was incredible. I learned to get my camera gear completely configured and ready for use BEFORE arriving in the Linyanti. We saw wild dogs a hour after stepping off the plane, and encountered giraffe, warthogs, crocodile, lions, leopard on a kill, kudu and many other antelope species, baboons, hippos, dwarf mongooses, and lots of elephants. I am not a birder, but our safari companions were almost constantly chattering about the birds. The Wilderness Safaris trucks, guides, staff, food, and lodging were perfect (we stayed at King's Pool). The Linyanti has a varied landscape that includes mopane forests, tall proper forests, brushy/sandy areas, and swampy/river areas. The Linyanti was part of a trip to the Okavango Delta, and while the Linyanti is distinctly different from the heart of the Delta, it is easily as interesting and beautiful as the more well-known Delta region. The weather was pleasantly cool at night and warm during the day. Wilderness Air was great, with quick, fun flights in their well-maintained Cessna Caravan turboprop airplanes. Our trip to the Linyanti was an experience I will never forget, and I will definitely include the Linyanti on future trips to Botswana.
Review about Botswana by Ethan Anderson
After safaris at various locations in Botswana, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe, I put Botswana at the top of the list for multiple reasons. The concessions are better-managed, the variety of animals is better, the lodges are generally more consistently nice, and even the government employees are nicer. The Botswana government and concession owners are also more committed to protecting the wildlife in Botswana than other countries in Africa. It's an amazing place that is unlike anywhere else on Earth.

Very memorable and amazing experience
Very proffesional and well planned trip by Transtrek. Could not stop telling my very good friends back in the UK what a fantastic time I had and how I would loved them to have been there to share the experience with me. Probably the best holiday that Ive ever had!
