Our two week tour in South Africa, Vic Falls and Botswana was Absolutely Fabulous!
Dealing with Darren from Compass Odyssey was so easy. He replies to queries and immediately. He advises on travel ideas. He isn't phased if you need to change plans. The guides he uses on the ground are very friendly and informative. Dot and Tim Cummins in Cape Town were exceptional. Their love and enthusiasm for informing travelers of SA is great, they really love their job.
The animals were amazing, we saw all of the big 5 and more. Chobe was abundant with hippos and elephants. In fact everything but rhinos, but we saw them in Kruger. There are no rhinos in Chobe because of the poachers.
The chance to do river safaris as well as land safaris was a real bonus. We got real up close and personal on a few occasions.
The accommodation was great and so was the food.
I highly recommend Compass Odyssey for your African adventure.

Safari in Botswana
We have organised this trip directly with Isa. He turned out to be very professional and the trip was a true adventure. Would definitely recommend him and his team for a really unique Safari Experience away from the mainstream.

Two Thumbs Up!!! 120 percent Satisfaction!
We booked the six-day Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park package from Compass Odyssey as part of our trip to Southern Africa this summer. The commutation with Darren was excellent from beginning to finish. He is very responsive, knowledgeable, and super friendly. Very easy to work with. During the planning stage, he was not only giving us detailed information regarding the tour we booked from him, but also went beyond and gave us information and recommendations on the other parts of our trip. Really appreciate his help and ideas.
After we booked the tour, he sent out to us a very detailed safari detailed information package, which includes the detailed itinerary, the detailed descriptions of the accommodations, the detailed descriptions of the places we are to visit, general details regarding visas, Safaris, the detailed activities we can do in Victoria Falls, and many more.
The tour itself was a wonderful experience. The two lodges he picked at Victoria Falls and Chobe are both beautiful and very comfortable. Our local guide Mortimer at Victoria Falls was very professional, experienced, and friendly. He and his wife even invited us for dinner at their house. We really enjoyed the traditional meal they prepared for us and the two-hour long chatting by the camp fire that Mortimer made for us in his front yard. Darren also emailed us during our tour to make sure that everything is on track and satisfied.
Victoria Falls is just so beautiful and powerful. In Chobe National Park, the Safari game drives and boat trips were private. We were so lucky to run into a lot of wildlife.
Thank you Darren again for all your help and the very memorable and amazing experience in Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park!

It was an excellent trip. Lennox kept good contact with us at least 1 mon before the trip. Answered all my emails in timely fashion. Arranged for airport pick up and was there on time next day to start the amazing tour. We settled the finances in the office .
Trip was comfortable, Lodges were good , with good food .
Stay at Lake Nakuru lodge was a little uncomfortable but over all an amazing and unforgettable trip.
Our Guide Kikitu was superb. Request for him if u get a chance.
Everything was as promised.

Incredible service , Sam and Tony are the best!
My wife and I just returned home from a 2 week Safari and had an awesome time! Sam and Tony were our groups drivers and really added that personal touch along with their expert driving skills and unlimited knowledge and smiles! We really couldn’t ask for more. They kept their land cruisers clean and really made the animal sightings with their extensive knowledge! Simply the best!
Thank you to everyone at Real Africa !

Review about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by Eric Krissek
The forest is so dense that it is difficult to see a lot of animals, however, seeing and spending time with the gorillas makes this experience invaluable! Absolutely amazing!
