We regret trusting the owner with our money
We feel that we have been scammed and we regret that we trusted the owner with our money.
We booked a safari back in mid-June and had paid for the whole safari (totaling GBP 2,110) in advance. In the days leading up to the safari we heard nothing from them and were getting concerned. Then, two days before the safari was due to start, we were told it was cancelled as the company was going into insolvency.
We were told at the time that the owner of Capture Tanzania Adventure had had an accident 3 weeks ago - we believe this is a lie as a review from 4 weeks before that mentions the same story.
Nothing had been booked for us so we would like to understand where our money went, but he has refused to provide an explanation which added further to our suspicions.
Due to the poor communications, lack of a reasonable explanation, and amount of people this has happened to we feel that we have been scammed by the owner and we suspect that he has zero intention of returning our money.
We’re going to have to pursue legal recourse. The Tanzanian police and tourist office have been useless at responding to our emails but thankfully there are other options.

Great!
Had a great four day safari with Mandela as our guide and Puis as chef. Food was amazing. Safari was amazing. Chose the camping option which was fun. Facilities were basic but better than expected. Food was great every meal and there was so much of it. Your guide was so kind and gave great info.

Very Experienced and Knowledgeable
Our safari guide was Lawi, who has been doing safaris for 30 years, if I recall correctly. He was very knowledgeable about how and where to see all the different animals and it was just a totally fun experience! Communication with the staff leading up to the safari was very smooth and prompt. My only criticism is that they need to fix the seat belts in the vehicle (they kept unbuckling on the big bumps lol), but I never felt like it was unsafe at any point. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Right Choice Tours & Safaris based on my experience with them!

Amazing experience, best operator we’ve ever dealt with!
Right from the start Compass Odyssey was the obvious choice. Communication with Darren and Kate was a breeze, they were super responsive & gave the right amount of information to keep us informed but not overwhelmed. They were happy to customize our trip & also gave us different budgeting options to keep us in our range. Their attention to detail is what really gave me confidence, and allowed our group of 4 friends to have an amazing trip!
We spent time in Vic Falls (perfect gateway to Africa - the Zambezi river is a must!) and then went on to Botswana with time in Chobe and the edge of the Okavango Delta. Transit was so smooth, and we were really well taken care of. Food, drinks, game drives and boat cruises were all so special, and every person we met was so welcoming and hospitable.
The Compass Odyssey team have a fantastic network of people that they work with, and their knowledge of this region is priceless. I highly recommend them!

Quick, flexible, trusted operator! We had a great trip :)
We went on a safari (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli) & for 3 days to the beach at the end of October 2022. Silas from Apodiformes Adventures was very communicative, prepared for us 2 alternative offers and followed up before our trip with questions regarding our arrival.
Our guide & driver was Loi and he was great! He was driving safely, shared with us many facts regarding animals, he was great at spotting the animals (when driving he told us there is a rhino in the bushes and we needed to stop & use binoculars to see it

Reliable and trustworthy company
The staff was friendly and welcoming, the rooms were comfortable, and the food was delicious. This company is perfect in every way.
Our guide was extremely friendly and welcoming, as well as extremely knowledgeable. We were fortunate to see three of the "Big 5" animals, as well as many others.
If we decide to return to Africa, we will definitely use Kubwa Five Safaris.

Friendly and attentive
Amazing deep-dive into one of best national parks in South Africa. Very easy and straightforward transportation to Pilanesberg. We had a great guide who was about to show us all of the big five (including a leopard) as well as hippos, giraffes, and a warthog.

Incredible attention to detail, knowledge, and service!
Sunworld Safaris was an excellent tour operator and I would use them every time. Our group had multiple drivers in different locations (Maasai Mara and Lumo Conservancy) and each was a fantastic specialist in various areas (photography, birds, history/culture, etc). The drivers were amazing at handling the terrain and the vehicles were absolutely quality. They made sure we had ample opportunities to see so much and answered every question expertly. I am looking forward to my next safari with them!

Amazing once in a lifetime experience
The whole safari was absolutely amazing - once in a lifetime experience we will never forget in our lives. Our safariguide Tima was great in finding all animals and we were able to see them all very close. That was breathtaking. And the food was unbelievable good. I think we need more sport in the next days to get back our normal weight :).
Our Tour was 5 days-4 nights and 4 parks: Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro NP, Lake Manyara NP. We sleped for two nights in tents directly in the parks and had a few animal visitors at night (Zebras, pumbas and an elephant, which was amazing).
Jackson as our contact person of the agency was very helpful and was happy to help with questions before the Safari by WhatsApp whitin a very short time.
We can reccomend the agency to everybody.
Asante sana for that experience!
