Well organized and amazing natural reserve
The guide who was supposed to take me was right on time. We arrived at the park at the exact time as well and our guide was fun, he knew everything about animal and the park and we'e seen every animal instead of lions. We get back to Pretoria at 6. I recommend.

Service-minded, friendly, secure and high-quality!
We had a fantastic tour from Nairobi to a 3 days' Safari divided in two different national parks, followed by a couple of days by the beach of Diani. Motto tours arranged a very nice arrangement of high quality. The safari was well planned with competent guides, and the nature and animals were stunning. All the places we stayed at were of fine quality, with good food and friendly staff. Altogether we felt secure all the way and had really a fantastic vacation, thanks to Motto tours!

Super well organized and very reliable
Better than any visit to the zoo
I would book the 6-day safari again at any time. The Ü in the tent contributed to the fact that we could dive even deeper into this special nature. Our driver and guide was able to answer all our questions about the animals. He could even distinguish the animal voices well. He impressed us very much with his knowledge. His treatment of the animals was very respectful, which we also saw quite differently. Our rice group consisted of 4 people., the driver and a cook. We were completely surprised that we were served a 3-course menu made from fresh ingredients 3x a day. Including freshly baked bread and cakes. We never expected that.

Outstanding in Every Way
Five stars isn’t enough—Countryside Tours is simply the best! We strongly recommend them to anyone considering a trip to Rwanda.
From our first email from Olivier, we knew we were in good hands, and the outstanding experience Countryside gave us in this wonderful country confirmed it. The team worked hard to make our experience seamless, including arranging the permits and PCR tests necessary for wildlife treks. We had no delays or hassles *anywhere,* thanks to their diligence. And we were so fortunate to have Shadady as our guide for much of our journey. He was proactive, organized, outgoing, and fun! Just one example of his many acts of kindness: Seeing us covered in mud after our gorilla trek, he called ahead to our lodge to arrange for our boots, rain pants, and gaiters to be cleaned. It was little details like this that we never expected, but so appreciated. It made us feel so welcome—and impressed! I cannot imagine a better introduction to Rwanda, or more caring people, than the team at Countryside Tours. Murakose to this wonderful group!

Another incredible safari with Compass Odyssey!
This is my second safari booked with Darren “Crusty” & Kate Humphries of Compass Odyssey. Crusty has put together a team that brings a level of expertise, attention to detail, & knowledge that are unmatched. They meticulously plan out your personalized safari to ensure it’s exactly what YOU want and take care of all the details (attraction reservations, flights while in Africa, lodges/camps, etc.) so you can relax and enjoy your holiday. Before arrival, you are provided a VERY clear & concise dossier that lays out everything you need to know about your safari.
A bit about my safari. It started with a short stay in Zimbabwe with a day trip to Zambia where I “lived on the edge” at Devil’s Pool in Victoria Falls. If it’s not on your list… it should be. ;) Delicious dinners @ the Boma & The Lookout Cafe (The ostrich is fabulous!). Then it was off to Cape Town, where I had 3 of the most incredible days that included Table Mountain, Robben Island, Cape of Good Hope, Cape Penguins, and so much more. The next stop is the bush of Botswana, both in the Kalahari Desert & Okavango Delta. I was treated to lions, leopards, kudu, eland, zebra, elephants, and giraffes. I was lucky enough to witness the birth of a wildebeest and watch in awe as it took its first steps.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention and thank my primary guides & hosts while on holiday. Alan/guide in Joburg; Mortimer, Ruth, & family/guides in Zimbabwe; Garth/guide, Utah, Ivan, & Sean/hosts - Tintagel Guest House in South Africa; Leana & Cornel/hosts - Thamalakane River Lodge in Botswana; bush guides, Happy, Cindy, Simon, Bonno, & Bathusi. They are some of the most knowledgeable and amazing people I have ever met. They ensured I was well-taken care of from the moment I landed in Joburg until I had to leave for home.
Thank you, Crusty, Kate, & Compass Odyssey for another magical safari!!
