A great trip north to south with diverse landscape and animals
Not knowing what to expect on this trip, I found it a great experience . The tour covered Kruger nation park in the north through Swaziland, the battlefields of the Zulu wars and the Drakensberg mountains. A great wealth of animals during the tour was a highlight. The overall tour was made enjoyable by tour leader Darren and his driver/cook. we always knew what was happening and what was going to happen.
I would recommend a short stay in Cape Town to end the tour

Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by Daybreak96
There wasn't much big game to see, we saw a few Elephants and twice we saw a small pride of Lions, but overall we were just seeing Rhino's and Zebra with a few Giraffe. It was a great place to go to see lots of birds, we were even able to get great photos of them as they seemed to never fly away. The food wasn't as good as the full-board safri we were at before, mainly because we had to find our own lunch.

Fantastic, amazing, well organised
Second tour with Compass Odyssey, first one was fantastic, this one was brilliant. Prior to the travel we were kept updated and informed constantly as to what we could expect and what was required. The itinerary showed us some of the very best of Southern Africa. Chobe and Vic Falls were incredible, and our second visit to the Kruger National Park was just as stunning as the first. The Okavango Delta was the most amazing highlight which included a very exciting 30 minute stand off with lions on a game walk. The whole trip was extremely well organised not a glitch in sight. We will travel with Compass Odyssey again, the knowledge and passion of our tour guide Darren Humphrys was key to the enjoyment of this trip.
Nature at it's best!
When we visit a game reserve we like it simple. No 5 star accommodation and fancy living, just nature at its best. At Manyeleti we got everything we needed from a bush break away. Beautiful nature, peaceful surroundings. The weather was excellent and we were lucky to be there when it was a full moon. The tented accommodation allows you to be close to nature even at night. We saw plenty of elephants and even from our campsite. There is no better place to enjoy a magical night under the african stars!

Review about South Africa by Russell R
South Africa is a wonderful country as it is not too dissimilar to many western countries eg: fantastic hotels, restaurants, good roads, great food, however, it has its own unique favour in its culture, scenery and wildlife.
It is a safe destination (as safe as anywhere in the world) providing the rare opportunity to combine fantastic game viewing with get scenery (Table Mountain, Drakensberg Mountains, Beaches etc) and great accommodation. You can easily self drive here (I have done it with my family).

Safari Serengeti and Norongoro
It was a wanderful Safari, organized by a very serious and competent company!
Our guide Abdul was really very friendly and very well updated about all what concerns the Safari itself.
The locations were simply great, above all the Wildlife Lodge in Nogorongoro park; enjoy the amazing landascape from the terrace!

Perfect Safari
We spent 9 days in N. Tanzania with Savannah Explorers. Our driver/guide Rama was excellent and very skilled at posting wildlife and putting the jeep into a good position to allow us to take nice photos. The staf checked in with us at the beginning and end ofour Safari and was very helpful. The camps and lodges they picked for us were all with in our budget. I would for sure use them again.

Everything about Kruger is fantastic, the many camps, each one with a different atmosphere and bird life and each one providing one with a new adventue.
