Amazing trip, the attention to detail was outstanding!
This was absolutely an incredible trip. I believe it is the first time I have ever seen best-laid plans actually work. The communication with Darren was very quick and detailed. He was always there for us from the beginning of the planning stages to the end of the trip, including checking on us during the trip. The information in the itinerary he sent us covered every detail and smoothly guided us through four countries. At every new location there was always someone waiting for us to continue our journey. The guides (Brendan, Garth and Mortimer) and the safari guides were all outstanding, they took such good care of us. It truly was the trip of a lifetime, and it was all made possible by Kate and Darren Humphrys. I will always use and recommend Compass Odyssey for any travel to Southern Africa.

Wonderful Experience
We booked our 3 day tour to Masai Mara through Bluerange Connect Limited. Everything was properly organized and the execution was topnotch. They were always very timely with their responses and were ready to help us with whatever question we asked. Food was perfect and game drives were excellent. We highly recommend their services to anyone who would want to have a value for money experience.

This safari was amazing!
The safari holiday bookings team was very punctual on the days we were picked up and dropped off. The night drive took us to the Masai Mara and we were able to see all of the wild animals we had never seen before. The day safari took us around the Masai Mara National Reserve and our driver was very knowledgeable about all of the different animals and the vegetation in the area. I would highly recommend this company for your safari in Kenya!

Best Safari
It is hard to find the right words for an experience that we just had with my friends visiting Africa for the first time. the whole team at this agency is just amazing from the first response that we got from Mwangi the safari manager when I wrote to them the email inquiring about a safari to the last transfer back to the airport was well executed.
We had Kibe as our guide, and he made sure we got an amazing wildlife holiday. we only missed leopard to see the big 5 a good reason according to Kibe to come back another time which definitely I will. The camps selections were really nice with good staff and food. we also visited giraffe center and later dinner at carnivore on the last day before we heading to the airport.
Thank you all for a beautiful and unforgettable safari.
I would recommend them to anyone anytime.

Best Trip ever with the best Guide Cleopa
Dear Soul of Tanzania team,
first of all we would like to thank you for the entire planning and smooth execution. Everything went smoothly, communication, requests and payment processing. Now to our safari tour and our tour guide Cleopa. Cleopa was by far the best guide we could imagine, he did everything to fulfill our wishes and expectations. He wasn't just a guide, he became a friend. His warm and gracious manner made our safari truly unique. He explained everything to us down to the smallest detail and put a lot of effort into it. The trips to the respective places were very amusing and we had a lot of fun. Thanks to him and his efforts we have all seen the Big 5 of Africa, we are infinitely grateful and fly back with a wonderful memory and experience. Tanzania and the safari has conquered our hearts, we thank you, Cleopa and of course Mama Africa for this unforgettable experience. If we come back or our friends come, we will definitely recommend you and Cleopa. A 10/10 from us!
With eternal gratitude and love,
Pél and Mohammad from Bonn, Germany

An unforgettable experience!
Took a two-night, three-day tent safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro with my wife. Staying in tents in the middle of nature, where even the wild animals roamed freely. The camp was visited at night by e.g. Hyenas, zebras, giraffes and on the morning of the last day two elephants! The guide was Rocky who was a really nice guy who knew a lot about animals, nature and the Masai culture. Musa was the cook on the trip, who conjured up unimaginably great dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I would not have even thought that such dishes could be made in the savannah. We did get the adventure of a lifetime and an unforgettable trip. Worth every penny and effort. Through Suricata, it was also possible to arrange cheaper taxi rides etc. for own expenses after the Safari. Customer service worked 10+ in every situation. Can't help but recommend!

Very professional, attentive, and prompt. We travel a lot and would highly recommend Ker & Downey
It was so easy to work with Sarah Morris to arrange our 12 day Egypt Tour. We did not do much research of our own, but the itinerary she put together was perfect and exceeded all our expectation, making our trip one of the most memorable one. All the important places were on our list as well as not to miss "extras" (e.g., entry to Seti I 's and Nefariti's tombs). Visit National Museum of Egyptian Civilization vs. Cairo Museum - I've heard other tourists complaining about the lack of AC at Cairo Musuem; besides all key pieces have been moved to the new Museum which is yet to open. Plan on visiting the Luxor in the late afternoon/early evening and splitting the visit to Luxor and Karnak Temples on different days, which is what we did. Highly recommend staying at the 4 Seasons at Nile Plaza in Cairo and at the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan, even if the stay costs more. Highly recommend doing a private tour. Local Egyptologists were phenomenal, and it was great to hear that they prefer to work with Ker & Downey. The support team was also awesome - they were easily accessible and took care of our need in a real time.

Excellent and lveoly team all working hard to ensure you have a perfect holiday!
As is the case probably for many booking their first safari trip - the amount of companies and safari options is overwhelming. We have ultimately decided to do it with Zohar, mainly because how quickly Lilian understood what we wanted and how engaging and responsive she was from the very beginning. Her suggestions as to how can we modify / improve our trip were spot on and exactly how we wanted it to be. The price/value ratio was also among the best ones we received from other companies. Lilian is super super nice and we were very relaxed before coming to Tanzania because we knew our honeymoon trip was in good hands.
Upon arriving to Tanzania, we were met by Lilian and some of her colleagues. And oh my are they all lovely. We also met our guide - Solomon. Once we entered our first national park I immediatelly realized how experienced, knowledgebale and interesting Solomon is. He would tell you many facts and stories about the animals, the national park, the villagies, cities, Tanzania cultures etc. And most importantly - he always thinking of keeping you safe. Solomon knew about things we wanted to see the most and did everything he could to have it accomplished - and he succeeded. We also liked that Solomon shown his flexibility and didn't hesitate to make his own suggestions (e.g. waking up early in the morning and doing a full day game drive - we are not morning persons but morning game drives were by far the best!!!). I really couldn't think of a better guide for this safari than Solomon and at the end wished that trip never ended.
If you reading this review while being unsure which company to book with - I have now doubts you will not be disappointed with Zohar. They are truly an exceptional team all working very hard to ensure you have perfect vacation. For us, it was one of the best trips of our lives. And if we were ever to go back to Tanzania, I would definititely do it again with Zohar.
Thanks to Zohar team for making this trip so special.

Highly recommended, no regrets!
So we were about to give up on our safari tour because it was to expansive to book a tour via the tour companies in our homeland. Finally got to know about African Big Cats Safaris company through thorough research on the internet and applied online to get an offer. Justice from the office reached us out very quickly with a detailed offer and made adjustments to our satisfaction right away, no need to.mention the price was very fair. Moreover, justice was very listening and answered to any question we had between our booking to our actual tour date. On arrival, Arira the driver were waiting for us and took us to any arrangement we needed before arriving to the lodge and was very nice to us. At the lodge Emmanuel the boss met us and explained detailed information about the practice of our tour and answered any questions we had. The next morning we met our guide Ernest which deserves every flatter you can think about. He was very experienced with around 20 years of guiding and also teaching students for guiding safaris for long time. He was the nicest and very kind, very listening and determined to answer our needs. Couldn't ask for a better guide. Finally, we met Emmanuel again at the arusha airport before leaving to zanzibar for a very nice departure chat.
To sum it all, we highly recommend African Big Cats Safaris , you won't regret it!
