Amazing experience !
We had been checking many agencies and Anna was very responsive from the very first moment and open to any suggestion. All the booking process was easy and secure.
The safari it self, 5 days at Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro was very nice. Salim was our our driver and he is a really nice and funny guy, he did his best so we could see all the animals and he was always on time. Our cook Salim (same name) was also very good, he managed to cook in the campsites and prepared very good meal. The pre-cooked meals were more modest.
We did the budget tour and the camp in Serengeti is very basic, but it is part of the experience. The camp by Lake Manyara and the one at Ngorongoro were better.
When we finished the tour Anna came in person to say hello and listen to our feedback that was very nice. Also Salim and David, other driver also very nice, took us to a local place to have a beer. Both things make a difference between companies, I definitely recommend them.

Absolutely Amazing!!
We had the best time of our lives! Our guide was very informative, knew a lot about everything. Any question we had for him, he had an answer for. We were a group of 5 and it was the first time for us to be in Africa. Starting with a safari in Tanzania was the best thing we did. Having Mega Adventures as the organiser was great! Our accommodation was great and everything was well organised. All in all, a wonderful experience and something we will not forget!!

Well organised, nice accommodation and food, the safari trip is incredible!
Perfect 4-day trip to Masai Mara for my partner and I. We saw everything except the rare black rhino. Best bit was seeing a leopard climb up a tree to eat its kill. Balloon trip is well worth the extra price. Mara Sopa lodge accommodation is fantastic and not far from the park entrance. Food is fine. Obama is a very knowledgeable guide and was very accommodating to our requests. Simon responded to all my emails in a quick fashion before the trip and also called me afterwards to check how the trip went. You travel around in a 10-seater Nissan safari van with a pop-up roof. Really useful to be picked up from Nairobi hotel and dropped off at airport. I would highly recommend Wild Race Africa!

Good service and nice guides
I would recommend others to book their journey through Msafiri Travels.
Very sweet employees, everything was taking care of and we were very well informed regarding our hole stay.
We had 3 weeks in Tanzania. We started in dar es salaam and continued to Mikumi for a small safari trip, which was perfect for a small safari trip. Afterwards, Zanzibar where we stayed in Stown Town, Paje and Nungwi.
All the hotels matched our expectations and all the transportation were included.
All in all, a perfect vacation, perfect service and nice guides.

Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Amboseli, Taita Hills, Shimba Hill and Diani Beach
Everything was perfect with our safari, it could not be better, no complaints at all. Daniel in London replied fast, he was very well informed and always up to date, he made excellent suggestions and he organized the whole safari perfect to the last detail. All the lodges and camps, in Tsavo East Epiya Chapeyu, Tsavo West Kilaguni Lodge, Amboseli Old Tukai Lodge, Taita Hills, Salt Lick Lodge and Shimba Hills Lodge and Swahili Beach Resort been as described and expected, friendly people, decent food, clean, comfortable, all fine. Evans, our driver and guide was informative, respectful, a very good driver and a good guide who knew his animals and birds. We had a problem with the car in Amboseli (clutch) and Evans and Transtrek arranged a game drive with the vehicle of the lodge, whilst Evans was repairing the car. Things like this can happen, but it is important to find a good solution, which was the case. Tsavo East was very dry, Tsavo West green, in Amboseli we had showers with very heavy rain, Taita Hills and Shimba Hills very green as well, but we saw a lot of game in all the parks and we really enjoyed every day. The whole safari was a wonderful experience and we will always remember it with great pleasure. Should we plan annother trip to East Africa in future we defenitely will do it with Transtrek Safaris again.

Good.
Sami, the car driver was really good . And Kioko the chief as well. The hotel was not so nice without hot water and only 2 hours of light a Day.

Excellent 25th Anniversary Trip
We really wanted a special and fun vacation that was in the South Africa area. We were not interested in joining a large tour group but also were a bit intimidated by trying to make all the arrangement ourselves. Contacting Compass Odyssey was the best decision we made. Darren was immediately helpful in suggesting itineraries and answering questions. We got to a plan quite quickly and then we just excitedly waited. Out Trip was to Kruger/Senalala and then Cape Town and then 2 places in Botswana (Okavango/RraDinare and finally Chobe/Pangolin Voyager Houseboat). Everything was a highlight and everything was nice in relationship to the other pieces. We would not change anything. We actually had a glitch on our flight getting into Johannesburg and it was so nice to send just 1 email to Darren and have everything taken care of to match our new arrival. Top notch all the way.

The safari was amazing!
Communications were prompt and accurate. The service was incredible and timely. The food was awesome. Literally every single aspect of the safari surpassed my expectations. The guide was knowledgeable and genuinely nice. I would recommend this particular tour, operator, and guide to anyone.
Loved every minute! We saw Rhino up close! Fantastic!!!!!
Everything was exactly what the dream expected. We never saw any of the Cat Family, but made up for it with Rhino sightings from the moment we entered the Park, and loved being so close to Elephant too. The scenery was breathtaking, amazing to travel from thick bush into open savanna.
We stayed in a tent in Mpila, very clean and comfortable rooms, and had the pleasure of watching the Hyena trying to "steal" our dinner each evening.
The Admin Staff were absolutely fantastic and helpful and everyone was so friendly
Would we go back again? You bet!
