A very well organised and comfortable holiday.
We couldn't fault the communications, meeting at Entebbe Airport and the transfers to hotels and lodges. Our driver for the whole 12 days, who doubled up as a guide, particularly for the birds, was knowledgeable, punctual, courteous, and a very good driver. The recently refurbished lodges at Paraa and Mweya were extremely good, as was Boma House and Kyaninga Lodge. The facilities at Eco Lodge in Budongo were pretty basic. Overall a memorable holiday.

Review about Ruaha National Park by fboekhorst
Less touristy compared to the Northern Parks. A bit less wildlife, but feeling-into-the-wild rating is great!! You can chase wildlife without meeting other tourists for hours!!

Southern Africa's people, animals, geography, history & contrasts were made a living experience.
Compass Odyssey's Southern Africa Safari was well organised with initial information clearly explaining what one may expect. Travelling in Namibia, Botswana, Zambia & Zimbabwe was a wonderful initiation to an area which has such diversity. Darren showed his passion for Africa & was able & willing to impart such a wealth of knowledge(history, animals, birds etc) supported by Zimbabwean driver (amazing animal spotter) Noel & cook Allen. This personal input on a real level is what made this trip stand out & be the difference from the usual travel experiences. Nothing ever seemed to be a problem for these three & helpfulness & assistance seemed to me to go beyond & above the norm. They were such good company, a wonderful tour leader, an excellent driver & a great cook (who met the needs of the group). The sights, smells, sounds, encounters, topography, accommodation , experiences were varied & immense ...... an extraordinary Southern African experience. Darren also arranged 2 great mini stays prior (Johanesburg) & after (CapeTown) which completed this whole experience to be way beyond expectations.

Review about |Ai-|Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park by ~lustedtowander~
It is the natural history; the geology and unique desert flora that attracts one to the Richtersveld. A delight for hikers and rugged travelers!

The Safari to Africa was excellent saw many animals and the country as promised by the organisor.
The tour was most informative, well organised, experiences of the food and the people and life styles, history of the country were excellent. Accommodation was well planned and the areas visited left us in no way short of everything Africa has to give. We left the country with many happy memories, friendships, laughs and good vibes about the tour organised by Compass Odyssey and their staff. We would recommend anyone wanting to see Africa this was they way to go, very relaxing and enjoyable.

Review about Skeleton Coast National Park by ~lustedtowander~
Fog and sand, desert lions and ship wrecks, whales and Cape fur seals. There is no place like the Skeleton Coast.

Review about Etosha National Park by ~lustedtowander~
There is nothing like watching a herd of elephants emerge from the shimmering white light of Etosha. Even on a luxury safari, one is immersed in the heat, can sense the patient suffering of the animals as they await the ever elusive rains. And so many animals, such diversity. Do not miss Etosha!
