Compass Odyssey did an exellent job creating an itinerary that fit our requests.
I would highly recommend Compass Odyssey, they created an itinerary that went way beyond my expectations. They listened to our group and kept in constant communication. For example we had one night planned in Johannesburg, unfortunately their were riots due to an election. They were concerned about our safety and were willing to help. The accomadatons we chose were in a safe area and so our trip was very safe. The places we stayed were gracious and friendly. The food was delicious. Above all the guides were friendly and excellent educators and we were able to view so many animals, birds and plants. I would definitely use this company again!

Incredible Safari Company and Amazing Guide
Tanzania Exclusive Journeys lived up to all that it said it would do, and more. Our guide, Ian, was outstanding in his knowledge, finding animals, and especially the care he took to ensure that we had not only a safe trip but a memorable one! I would suggest if you select this company, you ask for Ian to be your guide. I am quite sure that the other guides are probably just as good. My companions said at the end of our trip, "This was a trip of a lifetime. Although Kenya&Tanzania both were excellent, I think we will remember Tanzania more.

Wonderful Experience with Mimlo Tours
We had a wonderful trip to South Africa booked by Mmilo tours.Patrick helped me plan an awesome trip to Kruger park and Pretoria. We had an awesome experience on the safari and the stay in the Kruger park was exceptional with outstanding service. Patrick was very helpful in planning the trip according to our timings and our needs.He arranged all the pick ups and drop off to and from the airport. He was very resposive on the emails when I was planning the trip - even Called me a few times to discuss the details. Willem provided us with an exceptional service as our tour guide and driver during our whole trip.He was always on time, a great driver and very very knowledgeable.We enjoyed his company very much.He is very polite and understanding. He showed us around in Pretoria even though we were short on time and explained us everything in detail along the driving times.
Would recommend Mmilo tours to anyone who is going to South Africa, Please email them and they will help you plan a perfect trip.

Trip of a Lifetime - Way better than what I could have planned on my own
Excellent all the way around. Matthew was very responsive to emails, answered all of our questions, addressed all of our concerns, and made all the little adjustments and changes we requested throughout the planning process. His service exceeded our expectations. The experience itself was great - just what we were looking for, and more. It was evident that he had done his research to make sure he sent us to top-notch places. The itinerary he prepared included activities that I would not have known to look for on my own, such as the activities in Cape Town and the trip into Botswana to visit Chobe National Park. Also, the lodgings he selected for us were superb - a penthouse condo right on Camp's Bay Beach (Cape Town) to start the trip; a BEAUTIFUL and spacious cottage at a small river lodge in Livingstone (Victoria Falls), and two excellent but very different game lodges in Greater Kreuger. I am so glad I went through African Safari Guru rather than booking on my own.

Great Animals and awesome nature.
My girlfriend and me did the Chobe National Park and Victoria Falls Five Days Tour.
First of all, it was perfectly organized and Maria and her team are also highly flexible when it comes to personal wishes, so far not included into the tour. They will make it happen.
The Chobe National Park is literally full of animals. We did morning, afternoon and boat safaris. Every time we saw a great bunch of animals, including lions and leopards.
The Victoria Falls tour was as well spectacular. Here, Kalahari also offers you to highly customize your trip. We chose to visit the Devils Pool which was a breathtaking experience and stunningly organized (cool beer after the swim!).
The Safari Lodges picked by Kalahari are very comfy and natural. In the Marambu River Lodge we spent the nights next to elefants and hippos. The food in the lodges was really good and very diversified.
I can highly recommend Kalahari and would always go on tour with them again. :-)

Excellent operations and value
SoK were excellent every step of the way. The tour went as planned and they were prepared for every day's activities. Our driver/guide John was friendly without being too much on top of you. The car itself was perfectly suited for the safari. Even when we had a mechanical issue, our guide was focused on making sure we weren't too inconvenienced. The customer service was excellent overall.
The safari itself was great. We did a 6-day tour so the pace was perfect. We saw almost everything we wanted to see and much more. We let our guide know what we were looking for and he went above and beyond to deliver that to us. Some parts of it were a bit disappointing (eg, we never got the chance to see the Mara river crossing) but that is more about how the animals were behaving than anything to do with the tour. It's a safari and not a trip to the zoo, after all. A list of animals we saw on the trip: wildebeest (felt like millions of them), lions (including a couple of beautiful males), multiple cheetahs (as they were feeding!), leopard, rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, and antelopes of all kinds. It was a total blast.
