a magical experience
It was an incredible trip. Kenya is a wonderful destination to do a Safari, both the agency staff and the driver, our guide Duncan, were all super attentive and friendly and made us feel good at all times.

Speke Uganda Holidays - simply perfect.
I booked a single traveler tour from April 1st till April 6th straight at Speke, no German agency in between. Communication by Email, WhatsApp and even a call via WhatsApp was excellent and always fast. Flights were booked by myself.
My guide guide and driver for the whole time was Gulielm. He had good contacts and was excellent in finding out where the animals were. I'd like to call him "eagle eye Gulielm" because he saw the animals without binocular wherever they were. He has an unbelievable knowledge and was always there for me. When my flight back was canceled and a new one scheduled one day later, he took care for me and even spend the additional day with me (he arranged a room, a visit in the botanical garden in Entebbe and finally drove me to the airport).
The tour itself was just great. Gorilla tracking in Bwindi, 2x Safari in Queen Elizabeth NP (incl. tree climbing lions and leopard), fantastic boat ride at Kazinga Channel (incl. elephants and buffaloes having a bath) and chimp tracking in Kyambura Gorge. Words can't discribe the experience.
Accomodation and especially the food was nice.
For those who are thinking about going to Uganda in rain season: It is no problem at all!
Many thanks to Speke Uganda Holidays

Outstanding pre- and post-trip customer service together with best trip guide EVER!
Compass Odyssey is THE tour operator to work with for your dream vacation. Knowledgeable, reliable, prompt, and thoughtful service from Darren makes you feel as though you are the only person he is helping. He will advise, recommend, and listen while planning your trip. Ever cheerful with a remarkable sense of humor, he is so efficient that he makes what can be the most stressful experience (planning a trip) smooth and hassle-free. My daughter and I were so relieved to have Compass Odyssey take care of everything from the moment we stepped off the plane until we returned to the airport 2 weeks later. I felt we were always on the radar, so it became such a relaxing time. Our guide in Namibia - Elvis - was a man of wondrous wit and wisdom, and his presence enhanced our experience exponentially. We left Namibia with the sense of having seen the best of the best landscapes, having the closest encounters with its magnificent wildlife, and learning of its multitude of cultures. I can give this experience, from planning through execution, an unqualified "two thumbs up."

Fantastic!
This trip was very last minute but luckily Morningstar Safari was able to pull through on such short notice and promised and delivered a trip of a lifetime! Special thanks to our guide, and friend, Alex Masila for his wonderful energy and informative guidance on our trip. We will definitely be back for more !

Excellent and Accommodating
If you’ve decided to travel to Tanzania for Mt Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar then I don’t know how you could possibly leave without a safari in the world’s most recognizable (and justifiably so) parks like the Ngorongoro Crater or the Serengeti.
After you’re set on a safari, you’ll go on your own safari to pick one guide service in a dizzying field of operators. Personally, I think it’s important to choose a local operator and if you’re like me then I am delighted to recommend Robert, Silas and Elia with Tanzania’s own RO Scavenger.
RO Scavenger is made up of an experienced team who my wife and I will always remember for the exceptional, tailored experience they provided for our honeymoon in February and March 2024.
Robert and Silas were incredibly professional and accommodating as they provided timely responses to all inquiries and arranged a seamless pickup to drop-off experience. They really wow’d my wife and I at each possible occasion with flourishes for our honeymoon at many accommodations and a wonderful gift we will cherish forever upon departure. I greatly appreciated the detail they put into our customized itinerary.
Of course a safari is nothing without its guide and driver. Our guide and driver was the multi-talented, universally respected Elia. Elia had worked with several of the other operators we encountered during our safari and had clearly built relationships with several other guides we met. These relationships helped us spot all of the Big 5 and it was also a highlight for us to see Elia help other guides whose vehicles had broken down. Initially, I was surprised by how young Elia was to single-handedly lead us for a 7-day safari, but he proved to be more than capable as a guide, driver, and mechanic!
On safari, you’ll notice most travelers are following a similar itinerary, in a similar vehicle, with the same spots for lunch. In conversations with other tourists you’ll marvel at what you saw and you’ll typically be able to say you saw the exact same things. The difference in experience and therefore quality for my wife and I came from the added touches RO Scavenger provided us related to the accommodations. We booked rather close to our start date, but with a small window, RO Scavenger were able to secure some unique and varying retreats, resorts, tents and lodges that kept each night special. We loved the experience of staying in a traveling tent that moved with the migration of the wildebeest, but we also enjoyed the drinks by the pool resort, and the boutique retreat houses.
I believe we received the best value and best Tanzanian safari experience possible with RO Scavenger! Without hesitation I’d recommend this team.

Contrasting
Loved Kruger and our guide. Crazy weather but the animals were very cool to see.
Tremisana was good and the Tree houses adequate.
Blackouts annoying but added to the vibe.
