Northern Tanzania Safari with KWESA
My family of 6 has enjoyed our Northern Tanzania Safari to the fullest. Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire were very nice and full of wild animals. We liked that John our guide was very patient because being avid photographers we took more than 3000 photos, numerous video clips during the safari. He could take us to a nice spot with a nice view, pop up the roof and then let us enjoy the view. He also told us many stories about the animals and their habits.
Our tour also included a tour to Bushmen who live only by hunting and gathering. On another day we went to a Maasai Boma who sang some nice tribal songs and dance plus barbeque with them. That was very nice.
On our last day before our flight out we visited Kilimanjaro Orphanage and spent the day with them!
All in all this was an eye opening tour about Africa and Tanzania which KWESA organized very well.
I recommend them highly

Our driver, Isaac, was very helpful, patient and nice : we saw a lot of animals and had a plenty of time to take pictures.Very good staying att lodges. Also, the prices are very good.

Great Ugandan Safari to Kibale, Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi
I came to Uganda as a volunteer for a NGO project in Kampla and met Nicholas through my friends who had come on Safari with his company. He organized a nice itinerary where I got to experience the best of Uganda's parks and wildlife. I We had Boaz as our guide and he proved to be a very knowledgeable and experienced guide. He took us to Kibale National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi National Park. The parks offered good variety where we enjoyed different experiences in each. We got to see Chimpanzees, went on a boat ride a long Kazinga Channel and thn had a remarkable experience tracking mountain gorillas in Bwindi forest.
Overall I rate the trip highly because we had very good experiences full of animal sighting in the parks, accommodations were top class, the vehicle was comfortable and the guide amazing.
Very good and professional company and I recommend them.

Outstanding Trip!
This was our first trip to Africa. We traveled to Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe and Zambia), Chobe, and Okavango Delta in Botswana.
Throughout our journey of planning, communicating, providing detailed information, and the various trip options, Compass Odyssey was with us all the way.
Traveling from the US, we had no clue on what to expect and was expected of us - medical, social, travel reservations, lodging, insurance, etc. Darren and Kate guided us with all these aspects. No question was too silly for them to answer, and we received responses within 24 hours.
Our baggage got delayed and did not arrive in Victoria Falls. Mortimer, Ruth, and Collin helped us shop for basic necessities. They were patient, friendly, and also gave us good vegetarian food options. Collin was our guide and he gave us lot of interesting info about the Falls. We also had a wonderful time in Chobe and Okavango Delta. The lodging facilities reserved by Compass Odyssey were excellent.
We would definitely go with Compass Odyssey on our next trip to Africa, and highly recommend them to others. Thank you Darren and Kate!

Just returned from the trip of a lifetime!
I just returned from a 5 day safari with Monkey Adventures, traveling to Tarangire, Serengeti, and the Ngorogoro crater. What an experience! Communication was excellent, always responded quickly to any questions that I had, and a staff member was waiting on my at the airport. Service was excellent and really exceeded my expectations. My guide, Ashley, could not have been better! His experience and knowledge allowed me to see and witness things that most may not ever get to see. I witnessed drivers from other companies cut others off and get too close to the animals, making them uncomfortable. Fortunately my guide, nor any of the other Monkey Adventure drivers, ever tried to get too close or cut anyone off. Serengeti was by far my favorite! But the other places were awesome as well! I did not want to leave! But I hope to return someday soon and will definitely use Monkey Adventures again!

Very good experience
We went for a 4 days safari in Queen Elizabeth NP in Uganda, it was a great experience! The safari met our expectations, the game drive was good and the boat cruise amazing. The Chimps tracking in the forest was the real plus of the proposed itinerary with respect to other offers. Communication with Mamaland was very easy and effective, they got what we wanted to do and the special points of our request. The lodges where we stayed were above my expectations. All in all, I think that Mamaland's offer was a great value for money.

Awesome, good job!!!
I can’t recommend Bateleur Eagle Safaris enough. They were fantastic from start to finish. Really professional.
From the initial quote to the final drop off the customer service, attention to detail and endeavour to deliver a mesmerising experience was something I will never forget.
Would recommend their team to all. The 3 day Masia Mara package we had was spectacular

Amazing Safari!!!
We spend five days with Monkey Adventures in the Aberdares National Park, Lake Nakuru and finally the Maasai Mara. Our guide was Joseph and he was brilliant!!! He is very knowledgeable and thanks to him we were able to see the big five! The lodges and the food were also just great and top standard in every possible way. On our way from Paris to Nairobi our luggage got lost and Yvonne managed to get in back for us and even send a driver towards Maasai Mara for us to meet and pick it up.
We 100% recommend taking the Safari with Monkey Adventures as everything exceeded our expectations and we had a really great time!!

Gorilla habituation and Nkuringo walking tour.
Communication was excellent from first contact and throughout.
We chose Simba because it seemed the only suitable company for the gorilla habituation experience at Rushaga. We then added the Nkuringo walking tour as described in the Bradt Uganda guide.
Our expectations were completely fulfilled and we enjoyed our trip very much.

A Wonderful Safari
Our safari was a wonderful experience! We expected it would be an excellent holiday - but it was even better!
Over the course of one week we went to the Tanzania National Parks of Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Each one was unique, both the setting and wildlife. Our safari guide spoke very good English and had an incredible knowledge of the animals and surrounding areas. He was also extremely friendly and excellent company for our trip.
The organisation of the safari was very impressive. We didn't have to worry about anything. We were picked up from the airport on the first day, and dropped there on the last day. In between we were driven to the different parks and our lodge accommodation each evening. These lodges were in beautiful settings, luxurious, serving great food and complete with friendly staff (but then everyone we met in Tanzania was so friendly!).
I would thoroughly recommend a safari holiday, particularly one in Tanzania with Classic Journeys Africa!
