A perfectly organized safari with an excellent guide.
We had an excellent 5-day safari organized by Mejio Safaris. Everything was very well planned, and the entire trip went smoothly. The accommodations were also superb and exceeded our expectations.
Our guide, Godson, was fantastic. He had extensive knowledge of the animals, the national parks, and the local culture, and he taught us a great deal during the safari.
We wholeheartedly recommend Mejio Safaris. The service was professional, and the entire experience will remain unforgettable.

Professional, kind and caring every step of the way!
Our 7-day Kilimanjaro trek (Rongai route) with Nafika Tours was an absolutely unforgettable experience from start to finish. The entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the journey.
Our guides were exceptional—experienced, encouraging, and always focused on our safety and well-being. They carefully monitored our health, set a comfortable pace, and shared fascinating information about the mountain, local culture, and the surrounding environment. Their positive attitude kept our spirits high even during the most challenging sections of the climb.
The porters and cooks were equally amazing. The meals were fresh, delicious, and surprisingly varied considering we were on a mountain. The camps were well organized, and everything ran smoothly each day. It was clear that Nafika Tours genuinely cares about both its clients and its staff.
The 7-day itinerary provided excellent acclimatization, which helped our group successfully reach the summit. Standing at Uhuru Peak at sunrise was a dream come true, and we couldn't have done it without the incredible support of the Nafika Tours team.
If you're planning to climb Kilimanjaro, I highly recommend Nafika Tours. Their professionalism, hospitality, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction made this adventure one of the best experiences of my life. Five stars all the way!

Go with Compass Odyssey, they treat you as if you're their only client
Our safari with Compass Odyssey in Sabi Sand and Namibia has exceeded our expectations beyond our wildest dreams. A few weeks prior to departure I had an injury that affected my mobility, and immediately Darren made arrangements on all our flights so I would be assisted appropriately and ensured my rooms would be situated most conveniently for my injury. The trip was extremely well organised, and we felt assured we were in good hands every step of the way. When I texted Darren to say I needed to be connected at all times with phone signal (a mission in Namibia!) due to an emergency at home, he immediately checked and reassured me that thankfully the lodges upgraded their wifi.
Darren was also infinitely patient in putting together our itinerary (which changed many times!), and providing the best advice so our trip would flow well and we could make the most of our time there. We communicated our priorities in Namibia to photograph Deadvlei at sunrise which led to him proposing we stay within the park instead of outside. Our guide Elvis was an incredible driver and a more incredible person to spend our time with - he could spot animals from literally a mile (he pointed out mountain zebras that we could really only see through his binoculars). He sorted out every detail, and shared so much about Namibia and their culture, during the long drives. Once he dropped us off at the water hole while he took care of procedures, and we saw a black rhino there! In 40 hours (highly recommend anyone else to stay longer) in Etosha we saw lion, cheetah, rhino, elephant and MUCH more, all thanks to Elvis. I also threw Darren a curveball after we 'finalized' the itinerary leaving him to book a horse ride for me out of nowhere - he found the best stable that treated their horses right, and gave us a beautiful Moonscape ride.
In Sabi Sand, Darren had arranged a private game drive vehicle which felt incredibly luxurious (and also the extra space helped my condition). All transfers were also organised smoothly, our safari began immediately with Surprise, our driver, pointing out animals between the drive from the airport to the lodge!
Compass Odyssey were very quick to respond to any and all queries we had (we had alot!!) - we felt like we were their only client. Being traditionally "DIY" travellers that booked our own trips, booking via an agent went against every instinct but I can safely say its paid off beyond what we imagined. We felt like we got great value out of this trip and most importantly felt very well supported. We definitely plan to use Compass Odyssey when we return to Africa.
Emmanuel has been outstanding, his knowledge of the animals is second to none!
Mambeu Tanzania Safaris is an awesome company to go on safari with! Our guide Emmanuel is outstanding with his knowledge of the animals and where they reside, we seen all the big 5 plus so many more! The accommodation has been brilliant as has the food! Highly recommend

The best experience of my life
David was an amazing tour guide from the start. He made sure we were able to see the Big Five multiple times and much much more. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate and made our trip the best of our lives. He also made sure that I will be returning again. I fell in love with Masai Mara and 1000% want to return, and when I do it will be with David at JourneyMark. Thank you so much David for the experience of a lifetime!!

Filao Adventures is the tour operator that listens first, then delivers. Fast quotes & honest prices
I'm usually the one stuck planning every family trip; comparing hotels, chasing prices, second-guessing everything. This time I handed it all to Filao Adventures, and honestly? Best decision of the holiday.
One conversation about our budget and taste, and they came back with hotel quotes that actually fit. No upselling, no pressure. We picked one, they handled the rest.
Naivasha was a hit, and for once, I got to enjoy the trip instead of managing it.
Filao, you've ruined DIY trip planning for me forever. Highly recommend.

We had a superb safari from beginning to end. Our questions before booking was answered, we were picked up on time, our guide and driver Suliman was knowledgeable, easy going and he made sure we got to see and experience maximum on the two days we had available. The place we stayed overnight was a dream. Memories for a lifetime.

Amazing seeing the big five and so much more!
Our safari was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Our driver and guide always did his best to fulfill our wishes and make sure we had the best possible wildlife encounters. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, as well as baby elephants, baby cheetahs, baby lions, and so much more.
One of the most unforgettable parts of the trip was staying overnight in the national parks while lions, zebras, and other wildlife roamed nearby. It was a truly unique and incredible experience that made us feel connected to nature in a very special way.
Our guide Kefas was extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about sharing his insights. Every game drive was both exciting and educational. We also had a fantastic cook (Miriam) who catered to everyone’s wishes and prepared delicious meals throughout the trip.
In addition, we had a wonderful group of travelers of a similar age, which created a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. Altogether, we had an unforgettable time and would highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable adventure.
