Well oiled, profesionally run operation
We had a fantastic experience with these guys: the whole safari was very well organized, communication was always easy, quick, professional, the lodges were very good (especially Marera). Our guide and driver, David Simba, is an experienced and very lucky guy when it comes to spot animals in the plain and in the trees! We definitively got our money's worth!

Best 3 days of my life (Literally)
I had a crazy experience with Hekima Safari. I will never forget his 3 days Safari. It was my childhood dream and Hekima Safari helped me make it come true in the best possible way.
First, I would like to start with our guide Fredy. I have never met a person as selfless as him. He made us discover the savannah and was very careful from the start to the end of our Safari. He is a wonderful, smiling and happy person. This is the best meeting we had on this trip (Fredy if you read this cheetah girls loves you ♥ ️ ♥ ️)
Then I would like to thank Ely for everything he has done for us. Whenever we needed something, he was there. Whenever we had a problem, he had a solution. It really is the best.
We were accommodated in luxury lodges in the middle of the savannah. I will never forget those 2 nights, it was unreal! The staff were super nice and I'm shocked at the cleanliness, I didn't think it was going to be that clean but it was really great

Over the top Tanzanian Experience!
We chose Lion King Adventures as they provided high quality service from their very first response to our many questions be had, so we had a good feeling about them from the beginning and where not to be disappointed. First we did a Kilimanjaro hike, which was well planned, organized and executed. The guides Saladini and Abdi where outstanding, know so much about the mountain and helped us to conquer the mountain successfully. Afterwards we did our private and individually planned safari tour via Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngoronogro and Serengeti. I have done a lot of Safaris in many African countries so I know what I am talking about. Its save to say that we had probably one of the best guides out there in Tanzania. He was extremely passionate and really keen to give us the best experience possible. He always understood nature and animals, which I felt gave us a great benefit while experiencing the wildlife. It seems like Richard know all the animals in this vast land and their individual behavior. Altogether it was an over the top and always be remembered experience. Happy to come back. Can only recommend Lion King to everyone. Cheers, Alex

nothing was left to chance; every detail was carefully laid out in an easy to understand fashion.
Compass Odyssey delivered a truly memorable and outstanding tour of 4 countries in Africa. The tour was laid out in an easy to understand series of documents. Nothing was left to chance. Every day of the tour was delineated from covid testing, airline flights, lodging, meals, etc....the people that were responsible for all our daily activities were introduced to us in the documents. These individuals that provided all the services were top tier.....from the animal guides to the camp hosts you got the best. Darren from Compass Odyssey checked in with us frequently to insure that all was going as planned. Kate and Darren had to make last minute tour changes due to unforeseen circumstances. If you want the best tour custom designed for you, then Kate and Darren from Compass Odyssey should be your choice. Thanks Compass Odyssey for designing a tour that exceeded our expectations....

Bobby is the man!
Kili Twende was an amazing touring company. We did our Kilimanjaro trek and safari with Bobby and his crew. They were absolutely fantastic. The safari was amazing. Both Bobby and our driver, Ben, were extremely knowledgeable. The put us in the best position to see all the wildlife. I highly recommend Kili Twende for all your Tanzania travels.

The BEST...provides the most detailed itinerary and customizes specifically to your wishes.
Compass Odyssey provided the absolute best trip I have ever been on. They listened to what we specifically wanted in an African Safari and put together an itinerary that gave us a wide variety of activities to truly experience South Africa and surrounding countries. The itinerary was so detailed and left nothing to chance. The accommodations were excellent, and our guides, drivers, and lodge managers treated us like family. This is the first trip I have ever had where I would not change one thing. Everything was so well planned and so much fun that I have a difficult time saying what was my favorite part of the tour. Communication with Compass Odyssey was also excellent. We requested some last minute changes, and they did not hesitate to do them and were completed and back to us very quickly! I cannot say enough good things about Compass Odyssey. I highly recommend them for the absolute best and worry-free Safari!

Guide gave the best info of any tour!
Fantastic experience! Communicated via WhatsApp and operator kept us well-informed. Our driver was so knowledgeable and friendly, and always had some interest tidbit to share. I learned more from our first day with him than I did in five days with other tours. Definitely recommend!

Friendly, accommodating, wonderful!
With COVID-19 restrictions limiting our travel options, my wife and I took the opportunity to visit Africa for the first time with little time to prepare. After thoroughly enjoying Nairobi and Mombasa, we squeezed in our first safari with Benicia. Alfred and his team were so friendly and patient making us feel relaxed and happy throughout the entire process. This was not busy season and with COVID there were not many tourists around, and we were so fortunate to have a self paced and customized experience. The gem in our trip however was our courteous and friendly driver and guide George, who in addition to being extremely knowledgeable and experienced, kept us safe and secure while ensuring we had plenty of time to catch all the sights. We saw the big five including white and black rhinos, and a family of elephants descending out and about our van! Priceless experience I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone! We look forward to coming to Benicia again! Ask for George, and you will also meet the polite, young, armed park ranger Benedict who will keep you safe from hippos as you tour the Mara River where wildebeest make their famous crossings between Kenya and Tanzania past hungry crocodiles. So many wonders!
