Meticulously organised, honeymoon trip of a life time!
We started our enquiry about our trip back in 2019 but due to COVID and our wedding being delayed multiple times we eventually got to go in 2023. From the moment we contacted Darren (Compass Odyssey) we felt as though we were in good, capable hands, and this faith was entirely justified. Always on hand to give speedy and helpful responses to any and all questions, Compass Odyssey took us through many iterations of our itinerary until we settled on our ideal trip. Then, throughout COVID, Compass Odyssey were always in touch, keeping us updated with the latest protocols in each of our selected countries (South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe & Botswana) and ensuring that our bookings were seamlessly transferred to our eventual dates.
As for the trip itself, words cannot begin to describe the amazing time and experiences that we had, thanks to Compass Odyssey's meticulous planning. We set off on our trip confident that we knew all the relevant and important details, and this turned out to be correct - all processes and procedures were flawless and took what could have been a huge amount of stress out of the trip. All of the reserved lodges were perfect, the arranged transfers hassle free and the activities sensational. Even when we did have a small hiccup with one of our activities (outside of Compass Odyssey's control), both Darren and Mortimer were available instantly to swiftly resolve the issue.
Our honeymoon trip was absolutely everything that we could have wished for, and more, and for that we cannot thank (and praise) Darren, Kate & the rest of the Compass Odyssey team enough.

Extremely professional and responsive, exceptional service
My wife and I flew over from Europe for a 4-day safari in the Masai Mara. Everything was impeccably organised at every step of the way, including all the various airport transfers (for which Ongeri organised for someone to always be with us).
We received an information pack once we’d booked and had a briefing call a couple of days before our flight. During the trip, whenever we had a question Abner responded within a couple of minutes.
The accommodation and experience were first class, start to finish. I’d highly recommend this service.

Outstanding service from start to finish.
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a safari adventure in Tanzania. I must say that Savannah Explorers and our safari guide, Thomas, exceeded all expectations. From the moment we set foot in the parks, his passion for the wildlife and deep knowledge of the region shone through. He lead us to incredible sightings of lions, cheetahs, elephants, a leopard and countless other species. Not only was Thomas incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, but he also shared fascinating insights about the local culture and ecosystem. His storytelling skills brought the African savannah to life, making every moment on the safari informative and engaging. He patiently answered our questions, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the environment we were exploring.In summary, our safari guide, Thomas, was an exceptional companion throughout our time in Tanzania. His remarkable expertise, genuine enthusiasm, and commitment to our safety made for an unforgettable safari experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend Savannah Explorers and Thomas to anyone seeking an extraordinary adventure in the wilds of Tanzania.

Very well organised and great communication
it was really nice. Well organized. The tour guide was friendly and helpful. Day was nice as it turned out to be sunny in an hour of game drive. Saw 2 of the big 5 (rhino and elephant). Disappointed to not see any of the cats but i believe we cant do anything about it. Overall would recommend to anyone who has a day at Johannesburg.
