Great experience
Our tour to Tsavo East with OSK Tours was a great experience that's unforgettable. Our guide (John) kept us busy with stories along the way, and while in the park he didn't disappoint. He's well versed with the animal kingdom. We learnt a lot. He even tagged along a cameraman so that we didn't have to take photos.

Socioolite provided the best customer service and care for the tour I chose
I took a one day tour of Johannesburg with Socioolite, and it was one of the best tours I’ve taken in my travels around the world. Shaun, the tour operator, was extremely friendly and went out of his way to curate a tour that allowed me to experience Johannesburg as a local would. Every place we visited gave me a unique insight and perspective into the history and importance of each of those places, and Shaun was very knowledgeable in his descriptions of the sites we visited. When the tour was over, not only had I met a tour operator, but I had made a friend. I would, hands down, choose Socioolite for another tour if I ever visit Johannesburg again.

MANDRILL AFRICAN SAFARIS is a serious agency. Good value for money.
Our Colleb guide and 2 drivers were very knowledgeable, friendly, funny and accomodating. Always punctual. we spent some times together. Especially when we danced one evening at the Baboon Lodge. It was my first exerience and I willkeep an unforgettable memory of Ouganda. Lush vegetation as for as the eyes can see. A welcoming, warm population.... Adorable !!!
- Equator : entertaining experience
- Queen Elizabeth National Park : ths park offers us a real wilderness experience.
- Murchison Falls : wonderfull wildlife viewing. The most fantastic thing for me, was to see the majestic giraffes in their natural element, as well as the crowned crane. Spectaculaire scenic beauty of the falls.
We stayed in establishments that offered us correct services. The food was local and tasty.
I found in the 2 parks in Ouganda all the African wildlife I dreamed of !!!

4N/5D Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha
We did the 5 Day trip with Lenchada Safaris to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha and we had the most amazing time. From the moment we contacted the company everything was made really easy and the trip exceed our expectations. Our safari guide Francis was friendly, knowledgeable (we couldn’t ask a question he didn’t know the answer to), funny and made our trip one we will never forget.
The accommodation (tent x 2, hotel x 2) were great, the food was very good and plentiful. Francis would happily take us to pick up any extras we needed from the local towns.
We saw the all the big 5 animals plus plenty more and Francis went out of his way to make sure we saw everything we wanted to.
10/10. Will be using Lenchada and Francis when we come back to Kenya.

Organised and reliable. An excellent trip.
When we were planning our trip we found Lion King Adventures online. We liked the fact they were locally owned and operated in Tanzania but were nervous as we had no experience with them. We are very happy with how our trip was planned and executed. The Lion King office staff were excellent communicators and quickly followed up on any queries. We wanted some customization to our tour which they easily accomodated. Our tour guide Fredi Elias was great. He is a fantastic driver, had an eagle eye to spot animals and was a great tour companion. He also took impeccable care of the tour vehicle ensuring it was cleaned every night and maintained. Was a life changing vacation I would highly recommend.

Disappointing
A few days before leaving they said we were going from Ashnil Samburu camp tents to a lodge, saying it was an upgrade,NOT. They never told us why. We then went to Ashnil and asked people staying there when they booked and it was about 6 months later than us. They had 4 tents still available but said they were for last minute bookings. All 6 of us are not impressed. Guess they threw us under the bus for either being Canadian or not paying as much as some others. We will never use them again.

We travel all around the world and Compass Odyssey was the best tour operator we've ever worked with
From our first contact with Darren at Compass Odyssey, we knew we had found the ideal tour operator. He is the ultimate professional. Competent, knowledgable, pleasant, responsive and best of all he listens to the customer. The pre-trip communications were highly informative and thorough. Darren created a perfect trip for us to southern Africa.
Our entire trip was stress free because we were in good hands with our guides and Darren was just a text away if we needed anything.
Our accommodations, guides and itinerary were all great and as described in the documents from Darren.
We highly recommend Compas Odyssey to anyone planning a trip to Africa.

Everything exceeded our expectations
I cannot recommend enough the safari offered by Kubwa Five Safaris to anyone seeking an unforgettable vacation. Our guide deserves a great deal of credit for making the vacation so memorable.
Everything exceeded our expectations in terms of organization and the staff displayed a high level of professionalism and competence.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip

Perfectly organized tour with great staff
The Safari Tour was great! Lewis was a perfect guide and James a great chef. The organisation from picking up from the airport at the beginning to transfer back to our next hotel after the tour was always smooth and we did not have to care about anything. Seeing all of the Big-5 completed that we made the right choice with Suricata Safari. I can only recommend this company!

Yihun is a very sympatric and professional guide.
We had an amazing day on 12. May in Addis Ababa, travelling from Eastern Asia to our home Hungary. Flying from Singapore to Riyadh by the Ethiopian Airlines, arriving on early morning with connection late in the evening, we were provided by the Airlines to stay in a transit hotel during the day. We wanted to use this time to get an impression about the Ethiopian capital. We learned about it earlier at the school , but was a very exotic place for us. So I booked on the website GetYourGuide a Guided City Tour in Addis Ababa in English for 7 hours. We were picked up exactly at 9.00 o’clock at our transit hotel by Yihun, a very sympatric young man from the Aman Ethiopia Tours. He arrived by a passenger car with a driver and show us many interesting things in culture, history, nature and everyday life in the city. Also a lunch in an Ethiopian restaurant with typical Ethiopian food was included. My wife could take photos at the cultural sites but also with people in the streets. We also could see the 3.2 million years old fossilized skeletal remains of Lucy. Travelling between the sites Yihun answered our questions very professional and told us many interesting stories about Ethiopia. In a museum with relics of the Emperor Haile Selassie, in front of a big mirror we took a photo from us with Yihun , to have it as a souvenir about this fantastical day.
