Compass Odyssey does an excellent job - again
This is not the first time I've used Compass Odyssey to make arrangements for my African safari. Previous trips targeted Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, and South Africa. This year I went to Kenya. Darren's choices for places to stay were superb. All travel arrangements worked perfectly. I had a fantastic experience! Next year I plan to use CO again, and I heartily recommend it to all!

Just book with Super Eagles, they’ll take care of you
We had no referral and booked with Super Eagles because the person we were in contact with, after sending our initial request (her name is Daisy), was very responsive and accommodating.
If you’re looking for an affordable yet reliable tour, we highly recommend Super Eagles. I promise they will take care of you and take the stress away from the planning process. The representative always responded promptly. Never once did we feel ignored, left hanging, or ripped off.
We decided on the 8 day tour. The pricing and routes were essentially the same for all the 8 Day tour companies here (at the budget level).
We are SO happy we booked with Super eagles.
During our safari we saw everything we came to see. Our driver (John) was determined to provide us a good experience. He would rush to sightings when he heard them on the radio and hustle to get you up close. We saw the big 5, wildebeest crossing the river, cheetah hunting a kill, and so so much more. It was one wild adventure.
Once booked, Daisy became our personal travel agent. She scheduled rides for us, booked our Kenya train tickets, and our plane ticket for a short trip to Diani beach after. She can even book hotels for you. You truly get an all-in-one package here, you just have to commit to them.
As for the safari, we were looking for the cheapest option for an 8 day tour. But going on a safari will never be “cheap” in terms of money spent.
Our safari was a shared tour and we stayed in camps (compounds) for 4 of the 7 nights.
If you’re coming from the USA, the accommodations will be below your standards. There’s no way around it. But they provide what you need. Some nights we had to ask them to stoke the fire so there was more hot water. All the staff are very accommodating, you just have to ask! Don’t ask super eagles, ask the staff at the hotel / camp.
Our tour went, more or less, exactly as the itinerary said. Two days were flipped because it made more sense logistically. No surprises. There are a few optional activities in Naivasha, but you really wouldn’t want to miss them, so plan to bring the cash for them (walk in sanctuary, hells gate bike ride).
Because our tour was shared, a few groups of people got on and off our van throughout our 8 days. If you do a shared tour, it’s normal to change drivers and be moved around. We were in a tricked out Toyota HiAce, not a Land Cruiser. At first we were concerned because it’s a highway passenger van, but let me tell you, it did not matter. Our driver knew how to drive it well.
The food provided, in our opinion, was great. It was all home cooked thanksgiving-style meals, served buffet style. Rice, beans, grilled chicken, lentils, potatoes, beef stew, soups, etc. A few days you eat a packed lunch out in the bush. These lunches were grilled chicken, banana, cucumber/tomato sandwich, muffin, orange, and a juice. So much food.
And remember, this is a safari. It’s not a luxury ride down a highway. The roads are bumpy and dusty. You are taking the greatest road trip of your life. But it’s a road trip so you spend all day inside a vehicle. If you’re prone to car sickness, prepare yourself.
Overall, and if you read this entire review, Super Eagles will take care of you. They are the real deal.

Amazing experience with Professional Agents
I booked a five day Tour to different destinations with chenggong tours via safari booking and every price that was placed in safari booking it's the same price they gave me. I really loved there professionalism and energy while arranging my tour. My wife and I saw all we wanted. We will definitely book another tour next year with you. Thanks!! Good Job!!

Wonderful
We spent 6 days in Tanzania with Kiwoito Safari. A attentive team that allowed us to personalize our journey. Then a very considerate, friendly guide who took the time to stop at each of our requests, giving us all the necessary explanations. The lodges chosen by Kiwoito were well beyond our expectations. Luxury tents in the middle of nature, very comfortable and in the heart of the savannah and lodges overlooking exceptional landscapes
We will remember this trip for a long time
I highly recommend Kiwoito and the entire team of Charles, very friendly, who also speaks French very well.

An adventure of a lifetime to Maasai Mara!
The booking was very easy, and they were responsive to all my questions. As a female solo traveler, I want to feel safe and prepared, and they definitely helped me out with that.
I would recommend you make absolute sure with the tour operator about how to pay for entry into Maasai Mara, and be prepared for this on the day of. This was literally the only thing that went "wrong" for me, but it was fixed quickly.
Our driver and guide, Benjamin, was incredible. Very friendly. He has a lot of experience, and it shows. He was a fun person to interact with, and he was good at getting 4 sets of strangers that packed into his vehicle, to become a team, together! We were all bonded at the end of this short trip!
Everyone involved in making this trip happen for us were punctual, for the most part. Lodging was great, peaceful, and had delicious food.
Maasai Mara is one of the most beautiful places I have ever experienced. The animals were incredible, as well!
Even though the entry fees for high seson into Maasai Mara are very steep, I would say this experience is truly priceless. If you have a chance, go!

Amazing from start to finish!
From the start with our airport pick up Isabella and her support team were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble, stopping to let us pick up supplies from the supermarket on the way to the guest lodge, giving us all the local info on the way. Isabella organised a Victoria Falls tour in advance with an incredibly expert guide which was excellent, private guiding at our own pace. We added more excursions to our last day based on Isabella’s recommendations and they were excellent. So glad I got in touch directly and booked in advance. And all reasonably priced. Thank you for making our Vic Falls trip so memorable for our large family group.
