Amazing Trip of a Lifetime!!
I cannot say enough about our experience with Odyssey and our amazing journey to Kenya. From the initial booking with Mark in CT, to the pre-trip emails with Beatrice/Joy and the great service on Emirates, getting to Kenya was smooth sailing. The hotels were absolutely wonderful, great service and food, we wanted for nothing. We fell asleep to the sounds of birds, woke to the "hippo" alarm clock and watched giraffes/wart hogs walk by our windows. But the best part were the amazing game drives and Erastus, our driver. We cannot say enough about Erastus. He was so knowledgeable about the animals and the areas we visited; he is a master at his job. Every drive surpassed the one just hours before!! He was in constant contact with other drivers to find us the best views and animals. We saw the big 5 and every animal in between (elephants en masse, dancing giraffes, zebras and buffalo as far as the eye could see). From the tiny dik-dik (my favorite) to the majestic lions to the enormous hippos, we were overwhelmed at the beauty and humbled by the vast plains. I cannot put into words just how amazing this trip was and how unbelievable Odyssey was from beginning to end. Worth every cent and all 38 hours of travel from Kenya to home!!! Thank you, Odyssey!!!!

All in All a great weekend!
My safari with Gombe Track Safaris and Tours was a very spontanous decision - nevertheless the communication was good. My contact person to Gombe helped me very well as i couldn't find a place in my choosen safari to find another one for the same price.
As we started the safari the driver picked me up in time. payment was uncomplicated & there was enough space in the car.
Our driver Rajabu drove fast but safe to the national park. In Mikumi National Park he could tell us a lot about the animals and the nature & was very kind. The drivings in Mikumi were awesome! We really saw every animal which is living in this Park - Lions, Lepards, elefants, giraffs, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, wildebeasts, antilopes monkeys and many more.
The Food was also great. We got three meals per day, which were always enough and very delicious.
Our trip at the third day to Udzungwa National Park was also very great.
Unfortunately our actually hotel was full, but the alternate accomodation was very nice as well!
All in All it was a great trip to Mikumi & Udzungwa for a reasonable price. We were a funny group of persons & our drive Rajabu was very kind & had a lot of knowledge about the nature and the parks.
I will definitely book with Gombe Track Safaris again.

BEST TRIP EVER! Trek2Kili strived to ensure that my Tanzanian dream was fulfilled!
The care, concern and dedication that I felt with Trek2Kili was amazing. The owner and team welcomed us as part of his family and took personal care and concern to ensure that our needs were met. I never had a moment where I felt unsafe or unhappy! The safari guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and remain our friends still today. The porters and guide up Kilimanjaro were amazing at keeping us healthy and happy as we reached the top of the mountain! I would highly recommend this company and this team for all your African vacation plans!
Victoria Falls Hotel
Our stay at the Victoria Falls Hotel was outstanding and the service provided by Falcon Safaris was very good.

A most wonderfull experience, we would always choose Amazing Tanzania again and tell all friends!
From the very beginning on we always had the feeling that 'Amazing Tanzania' is a very professional organization with most dedicated people behind it - that not only want to earn money - eager to have their guests feel comfortable and see as much as possible of the amazing Tanzania! All the places we went to - Tarangire Safari Lodge, Ndutu Safari Lodge and the tented camp in the Salei plains etc. were excellent. All the tours we made with the very professional drivers were something we will never forget in our live. We will for sure be back one day and choose the same organisation! We will tell all our friends about this unique holiday.

5 Days with Gorilla Trek Africa
We had a wonderful time in Uganda and were perfectly happy with the organization of the trip! Booking was easy through emails. Nicholas replies to my numerous emails were nearly instantaneous. The payment through wire transfer was simple and not as expensive as payment through credit card.
The car was in a good condition (I was a bit scared before going on the trip because I had some bad feedbacks from travellers on this), the lodges were nice with friendly staff and the food was simple but surprisingly good and nicely presented.
And last but not the least, we would like to thank again our guide and driver Rogers who really went out of his way to make our trip as interesting and hassle-free as possible. Bravo!

I went to Jjinja with Pearl Africa, everything was perfect and went according to plan.
I run a small NGO called Lámha Suas and I use Pearl Afric Tours every year. On their weekends off, my volunteers go on safari, gorilla trekking and white water rafting in Jjinja. I use Pearl Africa because I know they will be properly looked after - the driver will be professional and safe, the accommodation will be of a very good quality and the activities will be safe, well organised and fun. I need to be able to trust my tour operator with my volunteers and I trust Pearl Africa. Innocent Manda is a pleasure to deal with. I will be using them again this year, as I have for the past 10 years And would highly recommend them to anyone.

Very friendly and extremely helpful (and knowledgable) in all African areas.
The travel agent understood what we wanted to see and experience, and worked well within our budget to provide us with an awesome holiday. He was very good with communication and keeping us up to date with details.
The safari itself was better than we expected! We saw more animals than we ever imagined and the safari guides were also very helpful and reliable. We had no idea what to expect in terms of travelling between villages/cities and so looking back, we are very glad all transfers were included too.
The lodges we stayed at were fantastic. Their customer service is second to none and we were made to feel very welcome upon each stay.
Overall we had a fantastic honeymoon and highly recommend anyone book with African Ubuntu Safaris!
