Professional, reachable and fulfilling
Ramja Safaris is the best tour company in the game! The communication was managed in a timely manner. The service accorded was top-notch, very reliable and provided an excellent experience through the whole tour.

Would definitely recommend Compass Odyssey!
From the start, Compass Odyssey was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and patient. We had a group of 8 travelling to Botswana/Zimbabwe and South Africa for a 3 week period. The trip was postponed twice due to COVID, and this company never skipped a beat.
Having multiple questions, changes, and concerns, they were always there to provide in-depth knowledge of the area/visa information/COVID protocols, etc.
Additionally, the tour guides were fantastic, especially Garth in South Africa. He was knowledgeable, patient, and flexible. The hotels were top notch and the tours were on time.
Having been in the travel industry for many years, I would definitely use this Compass Odyssey again.

This was amazing!
I had a 6 day tour and everything was perfect from A to Z!
I have been welcomed in Arusha airport with local champagne, cookies and a briefing on the days to come.
The itinerary was perfect and accommodations amazing, from Arusha to Serengeti through Karatu. Lunches at picnic site were a 5star experience too :)
Special thanks and special kudos to Kisali the French speaking driver and guide who is so professional! He knows a lot about fauna and flora and is really passionate. I have learnt a lot and thanks to him and to his incredible sight I could see so many animals that no one else could spot. I really could not imagine something better than the moment I had!

fantastic
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about every part of the trip down to knowing individual trees in the Seregeti. I would happily go on another safari with our amazing guy Leslie.

Be ready to be proved wrong
Tanzania will surprise you in any conceivable way, in an overwhelmingly positive manner. I had the opportunity to travel to Tanzania with my wife for our honeymoon, we had the pleasure of exploring the Kilimanjaro region, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar and Gombe. First of all, the variety of sceneries offers an adventure for each type of traveler, and when it comes to lodging, each destination can accommodate all sorts of budgets. The food was amazing, as it offers an interesting mixture of sweet and spicy, with a clear influence of Indian cuisine. Finally, the people were some of the nicest folks I have ever met, getting out of their way at every chance just to help and assist you.
The destination is safe, and the only danger will be deciding to stay longer, as ended up being our case.

Beautiful nature and authentic wildlife
We did a 2-day safari in Chobe National Park from Victoria Falls. We'd heard that the eastern part of the park can have quite high traffic at times, but that was not our experience at all. Our safari guide was super friendly and knowledgeable, and saw amazing wildlife at very close distance. Highly recommend.

Wild life that everyone should experience at least once in their life time.
In February, Amboseli was surprisingly dry except for the swamps and lakes. The Masai Mara was green, but the large herds were gone. But same thing with the hordes of tourists which was nice. As the grass was lower, the animals were easier to spot and we managed to see the big 5 (a rhino was spotted in Nakuru and others in the Mara).
I will definitely visit Kenya and the Masai Mara again, but next time I will do it in August.

Our safari with Alex as our tour guide was everything we could have imagined!
From the moment Alex picked us up from our hotel with gifts, to the moment he dropped us back off, was incredible. He stopped half way to Amboseli, so we could go to the bathroom. Then he made several quick stops along the side of the road so we could see the giraffe, as we were so excited seeing the very first one. He also made sure to stop at the Amboseli National Park sign so we could take pictures and pick up a booklet with all the animal names. Once inside the park, he did everything he could to make us comfortable, see all the animals possible, and get us to our meals on time. Our resort, Ol Tuaki was AMAZING! It was absolutely gorgeous, overlooking Mt Kilimanjaro, with elephants and zebra everywhere. The staff greeted us with a cool cloth and took our bags to our rooms so we could enjoy a buffet lunch that was more than we could possibly eat, with foods of all varieties. Our room was top notch, overlooking the national park. Our only regret is we didn't stay long enough to enjoy the resort, as we spent so much time out looking at animals. I highly recommend Morning Start and Alex for your safari needs.

Kenya had all for everyone to enjoy life. Wildlife, beach, and nice people that make life good
We booked our Safari before we came to Kenya. It was a great break next to our beach holiday where we enjoyed the underwater life. Safari was great, we saw só kant animals, in a beautiful environment . We loved Kenya, because of the people and nature.
