Review about Mikumi National Park by Martina Menicucci
good park, but a little bit less wild.
we can see a lot of animals but we can see also the men's hand.

Communication far from clear, the tours were good.
Our tour started half-an-hour late, and when the driver arrived he didn't know our names, nor our itinerary we had paid for (therefore we changed the order of the parks).
Charles is a good and professional driver, and he was friendly and helpful.
What our driver obviously was not informed about by the company, was that we had agreed (before paying) that we could be in the parks for as long as we wanted. We were disappointed that this did not happen.

We had a beautiful day in the Murchison Falls with Euro Uganda Safaris
I was well informed about our day in the park. We were picked up right in time and everything was organised as promised. It did get a little tight in our bus since an extra guide was coming with us and later on the game ranger had to get in the bus too.
Next time I would not visit the park with the 29 seater which was the bus that we were travelling around with in Uganda. The people who were sitting in the middle could not see very well. Our windows were also blinded a little bit. When lions were spotted we did not have the chance to see it because our bus could not go off road. I would suggest that groups can be informed by this and would get a suggestion to arrange other transport for this day.
But nevertheless, we had a great day. The best of the tour was the hiking to the falls which was stunning.

Very good for the money but our itinerery had way too much travel built into it,
Exceeded expectations. The game drives were plentiful. We only had 4 (others had 8) in our Land Cruiser so everyone had an view. I've gone before with Abercrombie & Kent, so the bar was high. But I paid half if not less what I paid A&K so I was really worried what Odyssey would cost on service.
So at half the price of Abercrombie & Kent, what did they deliver that Odyssey did not? 1. Better communication between team drivers. (our wireless CB was down for the trip and our driver did not use his cellphone much) when other vehicles found things - like leopards.
2. The driver could be quicker at shutting down the engine. The subtle vibrations blur shots. Seems A&K drivers were more aware of the vehicles and angles of shooting for the photographers.
3. Less time getting to destinations (road time). And once at a destination it seemed (because of #1 above - driver sharing "finds" - they put us on animals quicker.
4. Less Nairobi... Read more traffic - this may be unfair because traffic jams are unscheduled and unavoidable. But we had a horrible traffic jam from Airport to hotel with Odyssey that really delayed getting to the hotel. In fact we had zero time to do any of the planned or offerred side trips and went right to sleep, leaving us to feel we missed out on some of the purpose of being in Nairobi. Abercrombie and Kent minimized any time in Nairobi and I have to say now that that is smart.
Where Odyssey excelled - We really lucked out! Our Landcruiser vehicle had only four customers. Others in our group had 6 to 8 so we were the exception, not thhe rule. But where this worked out in our favor, was Odyssey assigns one driver to the group of 4, 6, or 8 and it stays that way - whether you're on a game drive in Ambosei, the Mara, or roads in Nairobi. At A&K our drivers changed throughout the trip - in Kenya we used one set of drivers; in Tanzania another.
Also the Lake Naivashu was an excellent location which A&K did not include.

Very efficient - they arranged a perfect itinerary for our family safari adventure
Communication was very efficient and the service was excellent. The trip far exceeded our expectations and we consider ourselves to be quite well travelled.
The safari tour was excellent, we saw so many different types of animals and our guide was superb. He really went out of his way to make sure that we got the most out of our trip and was very experienced and competent. We loved tenting in the Serengeti and having lunch at a hippo pool.
Zanzibar was fantastic and we really enjoyed our time there. The resort was of a very high standard and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Professional guides
My wife and my two children always talk about our 9days tour to Uganda. Gorillas, chimps and Rhinos in Question Elizabeth were fascinating. Uganda is very rich in terms of wild life. People's choice tours staff did a great job to keep us happy and make our tour memorable. Thank you very much.

Amazing trip with a great company
I really had a nice time, the safari was amazing, we had the oportunity to see many different animals, our driver was really good, he was friendly, talkative, trying to explain everything we wanted to know, and doing his best to make it easier for us to see every animal.
Everybody from the company was really nice and very helpfull.I strongly recomend African Scenery Holidays to everyone.
