Great experience and passion for nature
My December trip with Zootopia Game Drives in 2022, guided by Ronnie and Hope, was truly incredible! From Queen Elizabeth National Park to Sisiyi Falls and Sempaya Hot Springs, every moment was captivating. Hope's exceptional communication skills and versatile knowledge enhanced the experience. Their passion for wildlife and conservation was evident, as they ensured we didn't miss any sightings and shared fascinating insights.
The accommodations were comfortable, and the organization was seamless. Lake Bunyonyi's tranquil beauty and the cultural encounter at Mabeere ga Nyinamwiru added to the richness of the journey.
I highly recommend Zootopia Game Drives, guided by Ronnie, for an exceptional wildlife adventure in Uganda!

Wonderful trip
We had an incredible time on our recent safari. We spent two weeks in Kenya and Tanzania visiting a total of six parks, everyone just a little different, but wonderful animal viewing in each. The accommondations exceded our expections, everyone was so helpful, and the food was delicious. Our guides were informative and each knew the parks and the best place to view the animals. A special shout out to William in Tanzania, if he wasn't pointing out or telling us about various animals and birds, he was teaching us Swahili words and phrases. if in Tanzania, ask for William!
Everyone was on time and on schedule, with no unexpected surprises. In fact our arrival was delayed a day due to the airline getting to Nairobi, but Silas was able to make the necessary adjustment on very short notice.
We are happy to recommend Apodiformes Adventures.

Customized to perfection
We modified this tour for a total of 15 days (17 with flights) including Victoria Falls. This experience was executed flawlessly with both attention to detail and flexibility when the conditions dictated it. When our luggage did not make it to destination on our flight from Zimbabwe to Nairobi, our guide was extremely accommodating, followed up with their office to when to pick up the luggage from the airport since we we no longer in town, had it sent to us and took us to a landing strip within Masai Mara part to retrieve it. Speaking of the guides, they were outstandingly knowledgeable and willing to always go the extra mile, whether it be for animal viewing or other service aspects. They were more invested in locating wildlife and various experience than some of my kids :) Lodges were top notch, especially the tended camps and the Nairobi hotel. We had a colorful experience in terms of sights, information, flavors and culture. Overall I couldn't have asked for better.

As a travel professional & first time traveler to South Africa I was so pleased with my recent trip.
Some experiences just make that "special spot" in your travel memories and "Ka ingo Private Game Reserve" / Royal Morubisi Lodge was above our expectations. I meant Go Touch Down Travel & Tours at the area Travel Show, became intrigued and ended up traveling to South Africa as part of their offering with 5 other friends. We were seeking a unique experience without a half dozen safari vehicles crowding the animals and causing that "tourist" feeling. Royal Morubisi is set amongst 44-thousand acres and the entire 5 days unless our field ranger radioed another vehicle with news of a special animal siting we never saw a soul. Sunrise and sunset game drives never failed to amaze everyone in the land rover. Photography is a hobby so needless to say I was in my glory. Prior to traveling I worked with Lucia at Go Touch Down Travel & Tours to arrange for the trip. I don't think I could have believed how great this property would be or how spectacular the private game reserve actually was. A watering hole quite near to the thatched roof open air restaurant and bar made for spectacular animal sitings even during meals. This is the way to go on Safari!

The tour operator is a professional, organized and facilitated my holiday.
My dream was trekking gorillas in the forest, Valiant Safaris made this come true. From the first phone call i made and the emails were all answered professionally. David's knowledge of animals and the country was really outstanding and a safe driver, I have never had a guide like him before. Thank you Valiant for making my tour a memorable experience.

Reliable tour operator with an excelllent guide/ driver
Travelling alone on a business trip I found it important to find a reliable and responsible tour operator for a 1 day safari. Keshi tours did a great job: communication was good and easy by whatsapp, Justin, the guide/driver was on time, drove very responsible in the crazy Mombasa traffic, knew a lot about the animals and the park (Tsavo East). I saw more animals than expected and although not all of the big five were spotted, I saw lots of elephants, zebra's, antilopes, gazelles, heartbeast, baboons, a maraboos, giraffe, swines, ostrich, dikdik and 6 lions.
The park is beautiful with the orange soil, blue skies and green or brown vegetation.

He was very flexible, personable and his knowledge of the parks was fantastic.
We loved having our own private tour guide. Patrick adjusted our itinerary multiple times and responded quickly to questions. The accommodations were great, the food was good and the service was incredible at every location. We received a detailed description of each park and lodging facility and we received what was promised and more! It was an incredible experience to see all of the African animals we could dream of up close and in their natural setting. Highly recommend Shanjoy Tours.

Darren listened to our wishes and planned a seamless and very personal itinerary.
We communicated with Darren or Compass Odyssey exactly what we wanted and he was very thoughtful and precise with the planning of our trip. We began with 4 nights in Capetown, which was just perfect. Our personal guide, Glen, was fabulous! We saw all of the sights, plus a couple that we requested, as well as a day of wine tasting at some beautiful wineries. Our entire trip was very personal, in that there were only the 5 of us on all of our tours and Safaris, except for 1 camp in Kruger, where another couple joined us, who fit in perfectly. No big crowds or tours! All of our accommodations were very nice, and our safari hosts and guides were extremely knowledgable. All of our accommodations had very comfortable beds, and nice baths with good showers. Queen Victoria in Cape Town was a boutique luxury hotel, as was The Peech Hotel in Johannesburg. Highly recommend both! The Victoria Safari Lodge had the feeling of a real African setting and we enjoyed sitting at the outdoor bar each evening watching the sunset and the animals at the watering hole. After having dinner one night at the famous and historic Victoria Falls Hotel, we were quite happy with our choice of accommodation, feeling the VFHotel was a bit stuffy. LOVED the Chobe River Lodge, and the Pom Pom tent camp in the Okavango Delta. Senalala Lodge was nicer than expected and the hosts were very nice, knowledgable, and accommodating. The trip could not have been better planned by Compass Odyssey, and we thank you for truly memorable experience.
