Experience of a lifetime!!!
I cannot rave about our safari with Wild Planet enough. Ryan and Thale were absolutely phenomenal. They were extremely knowlegeable and they did an excellent job locating and tracking the animals, and they were able to answer any question we had about each. Additionally, they were really friendly, laid back and flexible and made the entire experience very enjoyable. We were a little hesitant about wiring money to pay for the safari ahead of time, but it was a totally seamless process. We really could not have asked for a better safari experience from beginning to end. Go with wild planet, you will not regret it.

Beautiful
My first time in Africa has been a magnificent one. SAD, the tour operator, suggested a fly and drive tour across the Rainbow Nation that absolutely lived up my expectations. The first week they organized for me and my family a safari tour inside and outside the Kruger Park, while the second one was focused on Cape Town and its surroundings. I have to admit that I was a little worried before leaving Italy for all the bad news concerning crime in RSA but right now I've got only wonderful memories of my staying as well as a lot of pictures. The organization provided me with nice hotels, affordable car rentals, on time flights. In other words, if I come back in Africa again, South Africa Dream Tours Ltd will be my partner.

Kenya Safari
Kenya Expresso Tours and Safaris made our trip to Kenya very memorable. We were able to experience three different areas of Kenya, which held different wildlife and a range of animals. Francis our tour guie was amazing. He made sure we were safe and having a good time. He was full of information during the tour and he made our safari really special. I would recommend Francis and Kenya Expresson Tours and Safaris to everyone!

Tremendous praise for Wildlife Safaris and our guide, Hoppy
My fiancee and I had the pleasure of traveling on safari with Wildlife Safaris in August 2014 for our honeymoon. We chose the five day trip to Kruger and could not have been more pleased with our experience. From the beginning communications, the staff of Wildlife Safaris was professional, prompt, and accommodating.
Our guide, Hoppy, was quite simply outstanding and we'd recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone wishing to book with Wildlife. He was extremely professional and well-versed in his trade as a guide. He was doggedly determined in looking after us, going the extra mile with staff at the various locations to ensure that my wife, who is pescetarian, had excellent food options. More than that, he was a pleasure to share five days with and we consider it a joy and privilege to have gotten to know him as a person.
As for animals, we saw well beyond what we could have expected from the Big Five to wild dogs running along the safari vehicle at night to a honeybadger and much more.

Wonderful safari!!
I'm very glad I used this company for my safari! Jackson was great to work with and answered all of my questions prior to my trip. When I got there I did a 5 day safari as well as a couple day trips around Moshi. Everything was arranged really well and I had such an amazing time! Even when little changes needed to be made in my planned itinerary in the middle of the trip, Jackson was very willing to work with me and make sure I got the full value for what I paid. The price was great and the accommodations were better than I was expecting, given that it was a camping safari. I had a wonderful trip and I definitely recommend MJ Safaris!

I can't speak more highly of Chislon, Mussadiq and our guide Emmanuel from Easy Travel & Tours. I spent close to 6 months researching whom to travel with in Tanzania and eventually settled on Easy Travel. You can do what I did or simply just book with Easy Travel........trust me, you won't be disappointed.
From an extraordinarily demanding professional photographer, I cannot recommend Easy Travel more highly. You must ask for Emmanuel as your guide.........he is incredible in every way and bends over backwards to make sure he is doing everything possible to ensure your trip of a lifetime. His knowledge and passion for his country and wildlife were incredible, highlighted by when he stopped the truck in the middle of nowhere to pick up a water bottle that had been carelessly dropped by a tourist.........'that would kill an animal', he said. This action spoke volumes about the person he is and the company he works for.
We spent 1 night at Kirurumu tented camp at Lake Manyara, 3 nights at Roika Lodge in Tarangire, 2 nights at Kati Kati tented camp in central Serengeti, 4 night at Serengeti North Wilderness Camp and 2 nights at Rhotia Valley at Ngorogoro crater.
Everything was amazing, with the highlights being Kati Kati, the wilderness camp in the north and Rhotia Valley. I will post seperate reviews of the accommodation.
Save yourself the time and just book with Easy Travel! There's a reason they have 442 very good or excellent reviews.
Please contact me for further information should you need it, especially if you are a photographer needing advice.

Pembury tours did an excellent job of coordinating our visit to South Africa.
Pembury Tours provided excellent coordination and arrangments for our overall visit to South Africa and Victoria Falls. The safari they organized in Sabi Sands was first class - we couldn't have asked for more. The service, meals, accommodation and game drives were first class. I would highly recommend Pembury Tours for anyone who is thinking of visiting South Africa.

We had an amazing safari trip to Kenya this October - a 12 out of 10!
Our tour was well organized with top of the line accomodations. Our safari driver was the best from picking up at the airport to our departure at the end. We saw all the main animals and visited two villages to drop of supplies. It was the adventure of a lifetime!

Loved it!!!!!!
This was SUCH a great adventure and all the people working for Odyssey were super from beginning to end. The first test happened when we arrived in Nairobi at 3am but our luggage was not there too! Eliud and Lucy were there to meet us and checking on our luggage and making reports was a slow process causing delay at a time when you would want things to go smoothly so that you could get to the hotel. They were both happily accommodating and just took this in stride. And actually, finally getting our luggage the next day took a great deal of persistence on Eliud's part but he finally was able to get it for us-----his graciousness was remarkable! And then we were on our way!!!
The accommodations were very nice....."tents" in the tent camps are not what we think of as tents. They are very large rooms with very large bathrooms and are very clean. They have hardwood floors and sliding glass doors to the back patios. Just watch when you open the door to enter or leave your room that monkeys or baboons don't try to run in! They are all over in all sizes but tend to keep their distance. No real problem.
John was our driver and he was such a nice, fun guy! Our vehicle was marvelous! Everyone had a large window, plenty of room and the roof would raise up if we wanted. We could be out on our game drives as long as we wanted to be but we were usually ready to come back for dinner and we weren't interested in going out at night although it was possible. The animals are fairly easy to find and are used to vehicles; so they don't run away. And all of the drivers communicate with one another so there are usually numerous vehicles parked to watch. (Some of the animals are so quiet that you feel that you could get out and mingle...but...mmmmmm.....probably not!) Be prepared for many VERY bumpy roads-----John called it an "African massage!" LOL....
I recommend this trip to everyone......it is such an adventure and Odyssey played a big part in our enjoyment our trip. They were always right there to do their very best to see that everything was just right----if there were any problem, they happily took care of it. Accommodations were very nice and the food was plentiful and always prepared very well. We saw all of the animals and met the nicest people EVER!!! I would LOVE to go again....and with Odyssey!!!
