Great trip and good value
Communication was good overall. Was surprised when a Western Union transfer was requested for the deposit as this is not for business purposes so wasn't comfortable with that. The tour itself was great with everything running smoothly. The Safari was great. Leonard our driver was very good. Just one small thing at the end where he could have listened better to where we had to get dropped off but overall thanks for a great time.

Absolute Organized and Dependable Safari Tour Company
We are sexagenarians and 2 married couples from New York City that traveled to South Africa and thanks to Darren Humphrys, the owner of Compass Odyssey, who made all the arrangements of our 10-day safari tour. His arrangements were so well organized that no time was wasted for us in totally enjoying this vacation trip. His network of service providers from intercity air and ground transportation to and from the airport, B&Bs we stayed in, the luxury safari camp @ the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, tour guides in Capetown and Joburg and the tours within the cities were all friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, prompt and professional that really made our totally interesting and enjoyable, so much so that we decided to return to South Africa or its neighboring countries in the future and see the other places and adventures that we were not able to experience during this trip. And without a shadow of the doubt, we will ask Darren to assist and organize that trip again! I unequivocally and highly recommend Compass Odyssey to arrange your trip to South Africa.

Excellent
It was a well organized trip covering several National parks (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha). We were pleased with our safari experience with Jocky Tours. Our safari trip far exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were wonderful luxury lodges with great facilities. I also thank John our driver/guide who was very friendly and deeply knowledgeable about parks and the characteristics of all the animals and birds. The price of safari was reasonable. Thanks to Minneh.
Highly recommended safaries with this company!

Best holiday experience ever!
We had a great time with Asahambe Adventures. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big 5 and a lot of smaller game too. I was so impressed with Jonathan's extensive knowledge of the wildlife as well as all the effort he put into meeting our expectations. I would recommend him to any of my friends and family for a great holiday experience!

Great days in QENP!
We spent 3 great days in QENP in October with an excellent, reliable driver! Our tour was perfectly organized by Twaha(Klaus) and we always had a safe journey with our driver and guide Remi. Our trip included game drives, a trip on Kazinga Channel, a visit to a Fishing village and Chimpanzee Trecking in Kyambura Gorge. We saw a lot of animals, had a wonderful time and really enjoyed this absolutely fantastic experience! Thanks to Twaha and Remi for this amazing tour!!!

Couldn't have been any better
Compass Odyssey run by Darren and Kate did an absolutely superb job planning my wife and I the perfect honeymoon. For over 10 months we worked together to come up with the the best itinerary to fit our time frame and budget. They were attentive, trustworthy, knowledgeable and took care of us like know one else would have been able to. There wasn't a single hiccup for the entire two week trip. This included a stay in Cape Town, three internal flights, two different safari camps over five nights, three nights in Victoria Falls and a drive to Botswana. Each place we stayed knew Darren and Kate had booked us there and told us how lucky we were to have them looking after us. They all knew we were on our honeymoon as well which was a nice touch. There were so many moving parts to figure out but Darren and Kate planned it out and executed it flawlessly. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to have the trip of a lifetime in Africa.

Great safari experience with Eastern Sun Tours, incredible trip!!!
We did a safari of 5 days with Eastern Sun to Tarangire Park, Serengueti and Ngorongoro Crater and the experience was amazing!!! The trip surpassed our expectations in every posible way. The kind and always prompt attention of Mercy, the unique and outstanding skills of our driver Amani, who was extremely kind doing his best so we could see as many animals as possible. We were able to see hundreds of thousands of animals, migrating, eating, playing, hanging around. The lodges picked
by Eastern were great! Like the ones showed at a travel Magazine. We will definitely recommend choosing Eastern Sun as a company that provides a great deal for doing a safari in Tanzania!!
Asante Sana!!!!!
