exicting tour
We just wanted to let you know that our recently completed trip
was wonderful and that our guide and your employee, Issac, was largely
responsible for our fantastic time. He shared his knowledge with us
continuously but it was his warmth, sense of humor, and overall
personality that will make us never forget him and your company. You
are lucky to have such a great employ

Very nice experience, with such helpful guides .. It was a successful adventure
We booked the safari tour from Tunisia, and we got in touch with Axis Agency via what's up and arranged everything. The tour was much better than we expected, our tour guide Evans was very helpful and friendly, he did his best to make sure we get to see the big five in Masai Mara .
The hotels were clean and comfortable, everything we needed was available.

Review about Queen Elizabeth National Park by Richard
The boat safari as well as a jeep safari enabled me to see so many birds and lots of other animals. Absolutely brilliant place and super guides too.

Life changing
EarthLife tours, Deo and Agrey were amazing. Our safari was nothing our wildest dreams could have ever imagined. To experience first hand the symbiotic relationship of the circle of life was beyond our wildest dreams. Our guide was so knowledgeable, kind and patient. We have memories for a life time and none of our world travels compare to our experience in Tanzania. We are looking forward to returning soon! Thank you! We hope the life that’s there remains preserved and out of human greed...

It was one of the best trips in Africa.
Uganda is not famous for its wildlife, but the people, the scenery, the nature, the green, the lakes and the gorillas of Silverback ... are the best combination for a safari. Highly recommended.

The most exhilarating, wildlife and cultural experience that will stay with me forever.
I was met at the airport and after a bit of a search trying to read the name sign I found my guide/driver.
He was excellent throughout with his animal knowledge, conversation and hospitality. The driving was as comfy as the roads allowed and allowed perfect views from the front and once the roof was removed from the rear.
Via Via guest house was a perfect location from/to the airport and has a great eco policy. Buhoma lodge, Enjojo lodge and QE bushlosge safari tent were great. Food and beds were all ideal.
There was amazing scenery although due to mist/overcast conditions I wasn't able to fully appreciate them. I loved passing through villages and the Bwindi community walk was brilliant- a must! This was an additional extra and because the gorilla trekking finished early I had time for this. The local guides were superb answering all my many questions. Walking through the countryside; visiting the tea and banana plantations; healer man experience; meeting children as well as seeing the old village tribal traditions was fascinating. Visiting the woman's cooperative group at the end was delightful- so good to see happy women who have had a tough life. What a great day!
The safari drives were very rewarding- lions, tree climbing lions, elephant and hippo; yellow baboon, Vervet as well as black and white Colobus monkeys; common and Defassa waterbuck, bushbuck & Kob; buffalo, warthog, Nile monitor and crocodile; lots of birds including hammerkop, cattle, little and great egret, black backed, squacco and grey heron, fish eagle, helmeted guinea fowl, pied and woodland kingfisher, sacred and hadaba ibis, yellow billed, marubu and saddle billed stork, Egyptian geese, spoonbill, great white pelican, black backed and grey headed gulls, spur winged and crowned plovers/lapwing, hoopoe, long tailed starling, lilac breasted roller, black winged stilt, cormorant, tern and black kite.
And finally saving the best until last was the gorilla trekking in Bwindi forest. The permits are not cheap but I got my moneys worth plus a lot more. The 'Ride for a woman' greeting dance started the whole event off brilliantly. Our briefing was professional and demonstrated how they seriously they took their role and respinsibilities towards the gorillas and their habitat. As I was in a group of older people we tracked and found the closest Rushegura gorilla group within an hour. 1 hour of observation was plenty to observe behaviours and interaction amongst the group. Seeing the juveniles playing; baby feeding from its mother before exploring around the silverback; grooming; tree climbing and eating figs; movements through the forest; and the silverback walking 5-8 metres away from me were wonderful. I felt quite emotional when the baby took hold of my trouser leg, thinking I was one of the group, as it passed by me! Such a great 1 hour of my life.
The only one thing I didn't do that I should have added to my itinerary was a chimpanzee safari but we can't be greedy.
I would recommend Buffalo Safari Camps travel company to anyone visiting Uganda and hope to return one day. Thanks!

A wonderful trip backed up by meticulous planning and engaging staff.
My Wife and I have been on a number of planned trips similar to the one provided by Compass Odyssey but none have provided the detailed planning, advice, support and attention to detail that Kate & Darren provided for us on our visit to the Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) and Chobe NP (Botswana). We were treated to some excellent accommodation, bountiful refreshments / meals and well trained staff who were totally focussed on providing a caring and attentive service.
The trip produced for us, two significant highlights (1) to see and experience the Victoria Falls in all their glory from both the Zimbabwean and Zambian sides, accompanied by a knowledgeable and interesting guide and (2) three days of safaris providing us with close up views of all manner of wildlife, birds and insight into the ecosystem in which they all live.
Certainly a trip that will live long in the memory - along with the hundreds of photos taken.

Great experience!
We have just returned from the three Rift Valley Lakes Safari [
Lakes Naivasha, Nakuru and Bogoria ] plus wildlife tracking in Masai
Mara. We want to thank you for a fantastic and well-organised holiday.
In particular, we would like to give our thanks to Robinson who was an
excellent driver and guide. We saw an amazing number of animals and he
was very informative about them, the plants, birds and the areas which
we traveled through. We would certainly recommend Grey Impala Safaris to
our family and friends....
