Great experience
We had a wonderful time on our safari. Andrew was helpful from the start and our guide was absolutely amazing. Our cook was great as well. We'd go back again!

Great 7 days safari
My 7 days safari to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha/Hell's Gate, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara was great. I'm satisfied with the service, accommodations (camps and budget hotels), guide/driver: everything was well organized and I will definitely recommend Big Time Safaris to my friends.
A big thank to Martha and Stano!!!

Perfect Safari
We spent 9 days in N. Tanzania with Savannah Explorers. Our driver/guide Rama was excellent and very skilled at posting wildlife and putting the jeep into a good position to allow us to take nice photos. The staf checked in with us at the beginning and end ofour Safari and was very helpful. The camps and lodges they picked for us were all with in our budget. I would for sure use them again.

Safari Serengeti and Norongoro
It was a wanderful Safari, organized by a very serious and competent company!
Our guide Abdul was really very friendly and very well updated about all what concerns the Safari itself.
The locations were simply great, above all the Wildlife Lodge in Nogorongoro park; enjoy the amazing landascape from the terrace!

Nairobi to Livingstone in an old Land Rover Defender. Fantastic fun on a very well run expedition.
My best review of Africa Expedition Support is my recommending the trip to two friends who have signed up to do the same trip in 2014. They saw how much my wife and I enjoyed the trip and are keen to do it themselves. Debs, Thiemo and their crew met all of our expectations. Debs communicated well with us pre, during and post the trip so that we were confident at every step. The variety of experiences, accommodation and personalities on the trip were great. The trip leaders were knowledgeable and had the ideal personalities to guide us without leading us, allowing us to feel that we were being somewhat adventurous overlanders whilst still having a degree of oversight and protection. Highly recommended for those with a sense of independent adventure who cannot mount their own overland expedition.

We had a great time in Uganda together with Bushmemories and felt very safe all the time.
We spent 9 days on a Safari-Trip in Uganda with our driver Kenneth from bush memories. We had a lot of fun together and felt very safe on this trip. Kenneth an the people in Uganda itself speak really good english and because we had a driver, he could show us things parallel to the touristic route. We went to a really basic village wich was totally interesting to see an I´m sure we wouldn't have found it without him.
Uganda is such a nice, friendly, beautiful country. The highlight for us was the contact with the Ugandan people and the track to the Gorillas (totally worth it)! To be honest to go on Safari in the Nationalpark and see heeps of animals Kenia or Tansania is better for that.
But Uganda is much more real - and not that touristy like Kenia and Tansania.

Fantastic, amazing, well organised
Second tour with Compass Odyssey, first one was fantastic, this one was brilliant. Prior to the travel we were kept updated and informed constantly as to what we could expect and what was required. The itinerary showed us some of the very best of Southern Africa. Chobe and Vic Falls were incredible, and our second visit to the Kruger National Park was just as stunning as the first. The Okavango Delta was the most amazing highlight which included a very exciting 30 minute stand off with lions on a game walk. The whole trip was extremely well organised not a glitch in sight. We will travel with Compass Odyssey again, the knowledge and passion of our tour guide Darren Humphrys was key to the enjoyment of this trip.

A great trip north to south with diverse landscape and animals
Not knowing what to expect on this trip, I found it a great experience . The tour covered Kruger nation park in the north through Swaziland, the battlefields of the Zulu wars and the Drakensberg mountains. A great wealth of animals during the tour was a highlight. The overall tour was made enjoyable by tour leader Darren and his driver/cook. we always knew what was happening and what was going to happen.
I would recommend a short stay in Cape Town to end the tour

Nairobi to Livingstone 27 Days
We were in 6 Land Rover Defenders [ including the Guide vehicle ] two people per vehicle, which IMO is a much better way to travel if the alternative is a bus with 20+ others. We found that if we staggered leaving in the mornings then stopping for photo ops, comfort breaks etc didn't bunch the group up and added to the sense of independence, we'd meet up for lunch/fuel and then carry on to the overnight stop. Before setting off each morning Jan and Bella would have a team talk to go over the days route book which gave directions and distances also any known problems along the way i.e. roadworks which have to be experienced to be believed, it all worked really well because everybody made it every day. The vehicles all had two way radios and a pre programmed mobile phone.
Highlights for me were the Masai Mara, Zanzibar, Livingstonia/Lake Malawi, Croc River camp, walking with the Lions and who could forget the Microlight flight over Vic Falls.
Some of the camps were pretty basic but most had very reasonably priced upgrades i.e. the Chalet upgrade at Lake Chala was fantastic. Every one pitched in on a rotational basis to help Bella prepping dinner and breakfast which was a good way to break the ice for a group of ten strangers.
Overall we had a great time and would recommend this trip to anyone with a sense of adventure but also wanting a level of freedom that can only be achieved in your own vehicle.
