An adventure, an amazing experience, lots of fun and altogether a great travel odyssey -Wonderful
Choosing again to travel with Compass Odyssey I certainly was not dissapointed. The service was outstanding with the tour leader Darren always enquiring & endevouring to meet the needs of each individual within the group. Noel the driver & Allen the cook were extaordinarily good at what they did as well as being a joy to travel with.
The highlights for me were Zimbabwe - Victoria Falls, Botswana - Chobe, Maun Royal Tree Lodge, Okavango Delta & South Africa - Kruger National Park, Johannesburg Soweto. We certainly experienced first hand meeting many fascinating people, seeing a diversity of places, landscapes, animals & birds & stayed in varied & different types of accommodation.
A fantastic travel experience .... i would certainly reccomend!!!!

Southern Africa's people, animals, geography, history & contrasts were made a living experience.
Compass Odyssey's Southern Africa Safari was well organised with initial information clearly explaining what one may expect. Travelling in Namibia, Botswana, Zambia & Zimbabwe was a wonderful initiation to an area which has such diversity. Darren showed his passion for Africa & was able & willing to impart such a wealth of knowledge(history, animals, birds etc) supported by Zimbabwean driver (amazing animal spotter) Noel & cook Allen. This personal input on a real level is what made this trip stand out & be the difference from the usual travel experiences. Nothing ever seemed to be a problem for these three & helpfulness & assistance seemed to me to go beyond & above the norm. They were such good company, a wonderful tour leader, an excellent driver & a great cook (who met the needs of the group). The sights, smells, sounds, encounters, topography, accommodation , experiences were varied & immense ...... an extraordinary Southern African experience. Darren also arranged 2 great mini stays prior (Johanesburg) & after (CapeTown) which completed this whole experience to be way beyond expectations.

The Safari to Africa was excellent saw many animals and the country as promised by the organisor.
The tour was most informative, well organised, experiences of the food and the people and life styles, history of the country were excellent. Accommodation was well planned and the areas visited left us in no way short of everything Africa has to give. We left the country with many happy memories, friendships, laughs and good vibes about the tour organised by Compass Odyssey and their staff. We would recommend anyone wanting to see Africa this was they way to go, very relaxing and enjoyable.

A truly memorable, fun, action packed, educational safari!
Darren and Kate were extremely generous with pre departure information even including a reading list. Everything was very organised and not once did we have to "think" about logistics, meals...everything was superbly pre-organised. Nothing was ever a problem.

A small group tour that made us feel very welcome, through out the whole trip.
This trip was above and beyond what we expected and hoped for. Everything was well planned and everyone catered for. As we had a truck for transport most of the time wildlife viewing was outstanding. Seeing a small inside to the African schools and having local guides at various stops was an added bonus. Food was excellent as was the friendliness and knowledge of the tour staff. Care taken to keep hygiene standards high was much appreciated, avoiding any sickness etc.

Relaxed, extremely comfortable and informative trip in a lesser known part of Africa.
The trip through Botswana and Namibia was so interesting. Seeing those rolling sand dunes with their living heart, plants and small creatures. Seeing the changing landscape from sea to waterfall. The visions will always remain with me after the names drift off. The staff on the trip - Crusty the tour guide, Noel the truck driver (he was insistent it was NOT A BUS) and Michael the assistant - all knew so much of the surrounding country and exuded their love of this wild country. You will also never experience again those exceptional accommodation places. That was a REAL AFRICA experience.
