Professional, thoughtful and experienced.
My wife and I booked the 4 day Masai Mara trails with Wildlife Sun Safari's to see the great migration in Aug 2023. We had some issues getting into Kenya which might have delayed our trip and the team were happy to be flexible around our dates, but luckily we were able to arrive on time and proceed as planned.
While on safari, our guide/driver was very experienced, knowledgeable and respectful to the wildlife we were viewing. We really appreciated that he followed the rules and didn't drive off the designated tracks to chase animals like other tour operators did. We had a great time on safari and saw heaps of wildlife, including the great migration, and were well looked after thanks to the team at Wildlife Sun Safaris.

Amazing adventure!
First of all to thank Maggie and for the extraordinary planning of the Safari. Charles, our guide was fabulous during the 7 days we were together. A professional and wonderful person who with his calm and experience gave us unique moments. My children are still talking about him after our return :)
The hotels were fantastic (Mara Serena Lodge, Tawi and The Sarova Lionhill) with a friendly and always present staff.
It was the best family holiday we have ever had and I wish to return for another adventure with Bison Safaris!

Once in a lifetime safari
My family of five spent an amazing week touring Tanzania. The time in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti with guide Musa is unforgettable. Rama had organized an amazing itinerary that interesting activities. He planned everything so well, down to the last details, such that we did not have any bad surprises. In addition to the game drives we also visited Hadzabe bushmen, did the board walkway in Lake Manyara and a hot air balloon ride in Serengeti.
I will recommend Gecko Adventure Tanzania to all my family and friends. They are absolutely wonderful.

Excellent Tour provider, great guide, we always felt safe and had such a good time
We got this tour provider by recommendation and went for 4 days game drive safari. Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The German speaking guide Freddy was excellent, had a great knowledge about Tanzania, the animals, the history, etc. - just amazing. Most relevant is to have a safe driver and a well maintained car, we saw so many others having trouble, but our guide took really care, cleaned and checked the car every day.
Again, excellent experience with fantastic view on amazing animals, we were so close to them and could observe them perfectly. Big thank you to Francesco for the organisation and a 100% recommendation from us for Lappet Faced Safari!!

Unorganized
Well, we made a safari tour from 22 of august to 24 of August of 2023
And our experience was not that great !
I was traveling with my wife, and Amos the contact of us, since the beginning was very impatient and changed a lot of things.
First of all, it was planned to stay in a particular hotel mid range, and we book 4 months in advance.
And 3 days before we arrive they changed our hotel because told that hotel was full!!!
Very unorganized the company!!
Besides that it’s was arranged that we were going to pay by transfer, and Amos again changed what he had combined and told 1 day before that we had to pay in cash…
After all they told a 3rd different hotel to the guide and we were driven to the wrong place after the first safari !!
The second day the same thing happened and the hotel was told that we were going to stay just one night there ! What was not arranged !
The guide was great ( boni) but I don’t recommend this company because the assistance is very bad !!

Trip of a Lifetime Indeed!
What else can be said about Compass Odyssey that hasnt been said in all these reviews?
It was our pleasure to work with Darren and Kate to set up our inaugural trip to Africa. We ended up doing a trip which started off with Capetown (3 nights), Victoria Falls (2 nights), and 3 camps in Botswana (8 nights). Throughout, Darren's meticulous communication and planning made the entire trip seamless. I note some highlights below:
* Excellent and prompt email communications in the early stages while plannng the trip
* Superb dossier right before the trip commences, which includes all the details of the trip. It's very helpful to have this printed out with you while on the trip.
* Darren's "feet on the ground" in the various cities are wonderful and knowledgeable. These included Garth in Capetown and Ruth/Mortimer in Vic Falls
* Seamless intra-botswana flight and transport arrangements
...and I can go on and on.
Thank you Darren and team for helping us have a trip of a lifetime, and we look forward to more trips in the future.
