"Outstanding service and magical experience"
My Friends and I book 3 days safari with Fantastic Adventure safaris.
Our trip was absolutely unforgettable. From the stunning landscapes to the incredible wildlife and the warmth of the people, everything exceeded our expectations. We were lucky to have perfect weather throughout, which made every adventure even more enjoyable.
The safaris in Masai Mara was nothing short of magical. Watching elephants, lions, giraffes, and so many other animals in their natural environment was a dream come true. Every moment felt like a scene from a documentary — only better, because we were living it.
A huge part of what made this trip so special was Denis, our guide. Traveling with him was a true privilege — he was knowledgeable, kind, funny, and incredibly passionate about his country. He made us feel safe, inspired, and completely immersed in the experience. We learned so much thanks to him.
The accommodations were also lovely — comfortable, charming, and always surrounded by breathtaking views. Falling asleep to the sounds of nature is something we’ll never forget.
Kenya is truly a destination that stays with you forever!!

Attentive, with integrity, trustworthy - can not get better than Compass Odyssey!
I decided last minute that I wanted to climb Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and decided to reach out to Darren at Compass Odyssey to help set this up. I had travelled using Compass odyssey several times before (to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia), and each trip was always everything we wanted and more, so I knew that when Darren said he could help me arrange for Kilimanjaro, I’d be in good hands. He is incredibly easy to communicate with, replying quickly and kindly, always willing to work with you on any tweaks or requests. He is incredibly professional. The value for the money is also far and away better than what you will get from other tour operators I have been recommended who are based elsewhere. I have full trust in compass odyssey and am looking forward to our next trip with them in the 2025-2026 academic year.

Outstanding!
Unforgettable Kilimanjaro & Safari Adventure with Mateys Wild Tours!
We were a group of 9 international Wim Hof Method female instructors on a powerful mission—to summit Kilimanjaro in record time. Thanks to the outstanding support from our guide Mike and his incredible team, six of us reached Uhuru Peak in just 46 hours via the Marangu Route. It was a truly unforgettable, soul-stirring experience.
From start to finish, the entire crew—guides, porters, cook, and our ever-smiling waiter—showed exceptional care, professionalism, and warmth. They handled everything flawlessly and made sure we felt safe, supported, and strong every step of the way.
We stayed at Panama Garden Resort before and after the climb—an ideal, peaceful spot to rest and recharge. Logistics were seamless throughout.
After Kilimanjaro, a friend and I went on an amazing safari through Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater, followed by a magical canoe trip on Lake Duluti.
Philipo, the owner of Mateys Wild Tours, went above and beyond— surprising us with personalized mugs, name bracelets, a celebration cake on the mountain, and even helping us connect with Msamaria Children's Center before hand. Msamaria is a local children’s NGO, for which we raised funds previous to our climb. That part of the journey was a meaningful goal of this adventure and deeply touched our hearts. Philipo’s care and dedication made all the difference.
This was more than an adventure—it was a journey full of nature, of strength, connection, and heart. If you are looking to explore Tanzania with care, professionalism, and soul, I believe that Matey’s Wild Tours is the team to trust. You’ll be in the best hands.

"Totally reliable"
Fredrick initially planned our whole itinerary around 2k dollars under our budget which was amazing but after deciding together from his suggestions of accommodation since tis was our first safari we went up to our budget. We were well looked after, Even though we had an open tour Van. Very smooth travels from Fredrick great planning & Denis was a great driver, he really has skills & we had fun. Deffo value for money since they can accommodate different budgets, totally reliable. Great communication with Fredrick & Denis . I wish we had been guided to something more luxurious .

The Experience of a Lifetime
Truly the Experience of a Lifetime – Thanks to Kiriche Safaris
Our safari with Kiriche Safaris was nothing short of life-changing. From the very beginning, we knew we had made the right choice. The planning process was smooth and highly personalized – they carefully listened to our preferences and refined the proposal until it suited us perfectly. Communication was always top-notch: professional, prompt, and genuinely caring.
Once we landed in Tanzania, everything ran like clockwork. The entire trip was seamlessly organized, allowing us to fully relax and soak in the experience. Our guide, Mandela, made it even more special. Not only was he knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife and culture, but he was also fun, easy to talk to, and made us feel completely at ease.
Staying at Kiriche’s private camp in the Serengeti was the ultimate highlight. We were welcomed with such warmth and kindness – the team there made us feel like family. The setting was stunning, the hospitality unmatched, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of.
Even after the safari, the connection continued. While we were in Zanzibar, the team checked in on us and helped with planning additional activities, which we really appreciated.
In short: Kiriche Safaris delivered a flawless experience from beginning to end. There is absolutely nothing we would have changed.
Thank you soo much

First class experience
We did a private 2 day safari, it was an incredible experience that I will never forget. The service we had from uncensored safaris was impeccable from start to finish. From the arrangements to the end of the safari the communication could not be faulted. We as a family enjoyed every part and would not hesitate to 100% recommend this company to anyone who wants to go on safari.

Tapestry of Africa Tours and Safaris are outstanding with an excellent service!
Where do I begin, the safari was a 50th birthday gift from my husband, and I thank God that I came across Tapestry of Africa Tours and Safaris when I began looking into booking the safari, there were other tour operators that I came into contact with but, there was something about the warm, welcoming service I received from Matt, who was always on hand to answer any questions I had, at anytime. This is one of things that helped me in making my decision to book with Tapestry, also knowing that they are a company that gives back to the community was even more of an incentive for me to book with them. As the safari approached I was in contact with the team who assisted in guiding me every step of the way. Albert who kept in contact via WhatsApp to answer any further questions I had, and to let me know he would be the one meeting me at the airport, and checked in to make sure everything was alright. Hilda who made sure that our vaccinations and visas and insurance were done which was really helpful when crossing the border from Kenya to Tanzania, and on to Zanzibar, it made the process run smoothly, as I saw people who had to be stopped for not having their visas or insurance. She also kept in contact to make sure everything was going well and that if I had any issues, which thankfully I didn’t have I could let her know.
Let’s talk about the safari it was one of the most amazing experience's I’ve had thanks be to God! We spent 3 days in Kenya, 6 days in Tanzania and 3 days in Zanzibar. Our guides made it unforgettable experience starting with our Kenyan guide Ephantus who looked after us and made sure we were always comfortable and endeavoured to take us to the places where we had the opportunity to spot one the big five, which we did the first day we saw a rhino on the way to Lake Nakuru, the second day at the Masai Mara NP we saw the king of jungle up close feeding on his prey amazing, pictures really don’t do this experience any justice!
Our Tanzanian guides Eddy and David were outstanding and stood out! They always made sure we were ok and reminded us that they were always there for us. They made our daily long drives fun, entertaining and enjoyable the days went by too quickly. David and I shared the same faith so we taught each other worship songs from our churches amazing! They taught us the Jambo song which I love and can’t stop singing.
Not forgetting our Zanzibar guide Yohana who picked us up from the airport when we got to Zanzibar. We had a day to rest from our safari and then the following day he took us on a Stone town and spice farm tour which was a really enlightening. He picked us up on our final morning and dropped us to the airport.
I must add that the guides are all knowledgeable in their fields. The team are willing to go above and beyond to ensure an amazing experience. My husband had left the binoculars in the Kenyans guide car when we changed over to our Tanzanian guides, by the time he realised he had gone too far. The team arranged for it be delivered to the hotel we were staying at before our flight home.
To conclude I want to say a big thank you to the partners Matt, Albert and the team at Tapestry for making my 50th birthday safari experience an unforgettable one.
