Good safari, close to culture and very kind and professional guides. All in all: Amazing trip!
I had the most amazing trip with Cheetah Safari Uganda!:
The guides, David and Robert were great, professional, kind and loving people. They cared very much about us, made us feel safe, had good knowledge about Uganda, the communities, the animals, the nature and so on.
The trip has given me experiences for a lifetime, that I will never forget. We came very close to the wildlife on our campdrives, the gorillatrekking was excelent and the communities invited us in, so we could experience the real Uganda culture - that was for me the biggest experiences.
Thank you very much Robert for a great adventure. :)

5 Day Marangu Route to Mount Kilimanjaro
I am very excited to say that I reached the summit on Mount Kilimanjaro with MJ Safari! From the very beginning, Jackson was quick to answer all of my questions and had very awesome communication! I am in Tanzania volunteering at an orphanage and staying at a home stay in Arusha, and the very friendly Mr. Ali came and picked me up to take me to my hotel in Moshi. Jackson met me there and made sure I had all of the equipment and gear I needed to get me through the trek. The guide and porters were amazing! They made delicious meals and accommodated my vegetarian diet perfectly! They made sure everyone in my group was doing well and kept us happy with their kindness and great attitudes! Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, but thanks to MJ Safaris, I had an incredible and memorable experience!!!

Unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania
Picking a tour company for a once in a lifetime safari experience is difficult, so I was very lucky to have made the right choice to go with Godfrey. I was travelling alone as a volunteer and had heard other volunteers raving about Godfrey Willy, a tour guide operating safaris from Arusha. They said he could personalise tours at a reasonable price, so I gathered a group of volunteers and off we went. It was definitely a highlight of my trip. Godfrey is very knowledgeable, friendly, and got out of his way to accommodate for anything we needed. He knew where to go to spot the animals and knew everything about them. We got to see the big five and much much more. We camped right by the elephants and wildebeest, and heard hyenas throughout the night. It was a truly unforgettable experience. If I got to go again, I'd pick going with Godfrey every time.

Excellent experience with tour organizing in Tanzania with Mama Savana
This July and August we went with our two girls (12 and 15 years) to Tanzania. Alex from Mama Savana organized an individual family tour for us. Our tour included Dar es Salaam, Selous Game Resourt, Stone Town, Beach in Zanzibar and back to Dar es Salaam. All the transfers worked fine, the Logdes and hotels he picked for us, werde excellent and we felt very safe and in very good hands. We had wonderful and interesting experience with all people we met through Mama Savana. Alex was always atainable and made sure our tour went according to the plan. We are very happy picked Mama Savana and would highly recommed it to everybody who seeks individual tours.

Perfect!
From start to finish we have had the absolute best service from Encompass Africa. Our first meeting with Jonno sold us, his enthusiasm and knowledge confirmed that we were going to be well looked after and we were. Our safari consisted of our family group of five traveling to Namibia and Victoria Falls and then myself and my husband going on to Botswana. The Namibia trip was amazing, Jonno listened to my ideas about where we wanted to go, made suggestions and together we came up with a great itinerary which included a mix of budget and luxury lodges to suit our budget. Similarly in Botswana he worked hard to come up with an itinerary that would get us the best value for money in a very expensive country. This consisted of time on the Chobe Princess Houseboats and nights in Kwando Lagoon and Kwando Kwara camps. All of the camps lived up to and exceeded expectations plus the small things such as transfers also went off without a hitch. On return Encompass Africa have been in contact with us to make sure everything went well and to seek feedback to ensure they continue to offer good service. At first I was a little wary about using a small company but I have had no regrets. Encompass Africa's quotes were significantly lower than the larger brochured companies we looked into plus they were able to lock in prices ahead which was fantastic. I would highly recommend them and have already done so to friends and family.

The perfect honeymoon!
Earlier this month we went on our 10 days African honeymoon organized by Roho Ya Chui. We visited Botswana (Chobe), Zambia (Victoria Falls) and South Africa (Kirkman Kamp). Ute did an outstanding job at organizing everything for us, completely lived up to our expectations . It was absolutely perfect. She's very professional and goes the extra mile to understand what exactly is what you want on your trip to make sure you get that at a minimum. Communication was swift, replies to emails happened in less than 24 hours. Detailed itinerary is given to you so you know exactly what's happening during your trip. All locations we visited were fantastic. In summary, it was the perfect African adventure!

Such an incredible experience
This was an incredible experience for both of us, and we couldn't be any more happy with our Safari. We were on a little bit of a budget for our particular Safari, and what Eastern Sun was able to do with the budget we gave them far exceeded our expectations. The hotels were very nice, the food along the way was delicious, and all equipment including the car was well above standard. I would also like to say that Mercy was incredible in handling the millions of questions I had before we even got to Tanzania and was very quick with all of the changes I threw at her. Our guide Richard was incredible and had incredible eyes for spotting wildlife I never would have seen. He had very good knowledge of all the parks an answered our questions very well. He was also very enjoyable to be around and to stay with for the five days. The only negative about our Safari was a small confusion or error about the final payment. Everything was completely legitimate, however, there was a mistake on the part of Eastern Sun that caused a bit of a scramble towards the end of our Safari. However everything was handled in the end. It was just s shame to leave on a sour note. But other than that I couldn't recommend the Safari more and you will be definitely happy with what they put together for you

The perfect trip for South African wineries and for a real safari tour
Darren is a very competent, prepared and professional person: he helped us in every moment we needed assistance and information about our trip (during the preparation of the travel and all over our stay in South Africa).
As regards our visits to the wineries (Constantia, Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek) the wine specialist of Compass Odyssey was very nice; she has fulfilled all our needs. As a matter of fact, our travel across the South African wineries was great, even we have considered that the experience has got over and overcome all our expectations. Surely, an experience to repeat, sooner or later.
As concerns our safari, Darren has made a reservation in a tented camp in which we have lived to the best the experience of a real South African safari. Our ranger has guided us brilliantly to see all the animals expected to encounter (we have only missed the lion), maybe another reason to come back to South Africa in the future, but only by making a travel organized with Compass Odyssey.
In conclusion, I think that Compass Odyssey is, by far, one of the best travel agencies for organizing safaris and trip to South African winelands and Darren is a very reliable and professional person.
Awesome time with a lot of beautiful animals
We did the Safari to the Mikumi Nationalpark in three days. One day driving to the Park, one day park and one day going back. We had such a nice driver and also the Guide was super. :) The guest House which was included was super. So all in all it is really Worth it to do it and we really can recommend it to others.
