unique experience
Matata has been replaced by Masaka who was an excellent guide. We did a 12-days-safari trip through 4 different parks in South of Tanzania. Just amazing.
Masaka was perfect : serious, open-minded, flexible, efficient and very professional.
We had a great time.
The parks of South Tanzania are less touristic than Serengheti; you seem to get an exclusive experience.
The only bemol was the 2 days trip from Ruaha park to Katavi park : too much drive, too much traffic and trucks, and hotels were low-rated.

Outstanding, very well organized safari experience
As we booked the safari over the internet/e-mail, we appreciated the professional organization. Lucy was very helpful and on top of things. Everything worked as promised.
Khalifa, our guide, made this safari a great experience for the whole family. We saw lots of animals (incl. big five) and visited a Masai village.

Tanzania and its nature was great but we had some bad experience with tour guys
First of all, I loved Tanzania and everything I saw and I experienced during my trip. You can book any tours via here (I mean this website not th tour company) its really perfect. I had 4 days tour but I think 2 or 3 days would be really enough. Don’t waste your money and days for extra 1-2 day.
Our first day, our car broken and they gave us back up car. It was full of dust, we couldn’t even breathe. Also, with new car we had a new driver for that day. He driven car so fast (our speed was 3 times more then the others). Even our warning he just drive fast and it wasn’t safe. After the arriving camp site we waited more then 3 hours to eat and get into our tent. Every other groups ate their dinner and went to their tent and we just waited outside with nothing (no food, no tent, not even chair we just waited ). Anyway we asked where is our tents and where is our driver to every responsible person over there and they told us oh he will come in 30 mins every time. And after 3-4 hours they gave us tent which I should have my own tent but I shared with stranger. At midnight they told us they never talked with driver -they said they talked with him and he will come in 30 min severel times- and they told us to go to sleep. Also we didn’t have morning plan because we didn’t have driver. In the afternoon our driver came but we had same problems everyday. Our car broken 3 times, no body try to explain anything, we always went to campsite latest and started to tour every morning latest. It was really bad experience in that way.
PS: You can buy cheapest tour for same program because people in my group we all bought same tour from different operators. For the same tour we paid different amounts (there was a 250 dollars difference me and a guy). So with the over 4 stars operator you can choose cheaper one

Amazing, informative, friendly, first class service.
We used this tour company for a mission trip and for a Safari. They are excellent. We would rate them first class. They provided drop off service to each location, they provided rides to every restaurant and eating location, provided excellent wisdom on every city we visited and by far one of the best tour operators we have ever used. This safari was amazing and the education we got on all the animals and the recommendations with where to go was first class. I would recommend these guys to everyone.

Compass Oddysey provides customized travel at group prices, and is responsive and experienced.
Since post Covid travel has resumed, the big travel companies are struggling to provide responsive service. That is not the case with the family owned Compass Oddysey. They replied to my every question, with timely and informative responses. The dossier for the trip they prepared for me (a solo traveler) was full of valuable and detailed information. We designed my weeklong trip through Namibia and it was a varied experience of safari, Atlantic coast, cities, and dessert. I truly loved the diversity of environment and wildlife. My Guide, Elvis, was experienced and knowledgeable. He knows his way around Namibia, it’s people, wildlife, and landscape.

I can truly recommend Shammah Wonder Safaries! After my inquiry via the website, Justine contacted me via WhatsApp. After providing my wishes for the tour, he organized a tailored package with a drive from Dar Es Salaam to Selous NP, a 3 day tour and a flight back to Zanzibar. Justine was really one step ahead, organizing every detail with the camp staff and the guides. He really knows the best people around and we always felt in good and competent hands. Before our departure to Zanzibar, Justine even helped us organize a rental car from a company that was again very trustworthy.

We had a great time in Safari Tanzania with my wife. I recommend it to everyone who is still not sure and I highly recommend to choose Hello Tanzania

Amazing wildlife and perfect organisation
Travelling to Selous in Tanzania was an incredible trip to discover wildlife. Scenic views are very diverse and take you to a different world. On the organisation side, the trips are really smooth and qualitative (transportation, catering,...).
Guides are very helpful and ready to answer questions anytime.

Georgous experience
I really loved the park and seing so much wild animals. The guides were very good especially JB that really made us confortable. I deeply recommend this agency as I had an unforgetable time with them.
