Amazing 5-Day Budget Safari in Kenya
The company was very fast in responding to my emails. They were prompt in picking me up from the airport on the day of arrival and dropping me off at my accommodations for the night. The next morning, they were on time in picking me up for the start of my 5-Day Safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha/Hell's Gate Park.
The safari itself was the most incredible experience I have ever had. You really see the beauty of the country, its wildlife, and its people. It is a budget safari, so do not expect luxurious accommodations unless you're willing to pay extra for them. In Masai Mara, I stayed at an eco camp that had the basics, but at the lakes, we stayed in very nice hotels. I traveled solo and joined a group that consisted of 5 other people the whole time, with people rotating in and out depending on their own itineraries. My driver for 4 days, Patrick, was great. He was very helpful and knew everything about everything in our destinations and was very good at spotting animals that were hiding. We saw ALL of the big 5, including a rare sighting of a lioness in Lake Nakuru.
I would 100% recommend Okoa Africa Tours and would use them again myself for my next safari adventure in East Africa. Feel free to contact me for further details!

Amazing trip and even better service!
First of all before even getting to South Africa, the communication between Darren and I was Awesome. He was prompt in answering any questions that I had and customized my itinerary to fit everything that I was interested in doing. My local tour guides Dot and Tim were so knowledgeable about every place that we toured. They were flexible in what I wanted to do and were the nicest people. They were personable and we got to know each other during my 5 day tour of Cape Town. Overall this was trip was one to top! And I highly recommend Compass Odyssey for your next Safari and trip to South Africa.

Excellent service and advice
Excellent advice from Chris who understood exactly what we were looking for. We have been visiting Southern Africa for 20+ years and we are very clear as to our expectations and priorities. Chris's recommendations were spot on.
Speed of response to questions is very good.
Our trip was wonderful. We enjoyed every aspect of it - the arrangements on the ground e.g. travel between camps and countries worked seamlessly.

Very friendly and professional!
I went on a one-day safari in august with Hekima, and everything was great! I was only interested in going to Tarangire (as I had other safaris planned later in Kenya), but they managed to find me a group to join and a private car to get me back to Arusha! The price was very reasonable comparedto the competition. Our driver was very knowlegable and taught us more about the Masai culture, the history of the region, and of course the animals in the park. Lunch was also very tasty!
Eli and Jackson are both incredibly friendly guys, and I would for sure trust them again if I come back to Tanzania! Don't hesitate to stay at their hostel when you're in Arusha.
Thanks again for the breathtaking experience!

Mama Savana has offered us a unique experience in one of the main wildlife destinations in the world
We spent 8 fantastic days with our guide Hassan starting from Arusha to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Northern and Central Serengeti, Lake Natron and the Ngorongoro crater. We spot a lot of animals and experience many unforgettable moments. Hassan speaks very good English, he helped us to understand the dynamics of wildlife and fully enjoy our travel, teaching us a bit of Swahili, always with a smile and good energy. Thanks also to Alex for the accuracy in the organization, with the itinerary and the accommodations, the flexibility for last minute changes and the warm welcome at the amazing Arusha Coffee Lodge. Absolutely recommended, worth every single cent!

Everything was perfect!
I cannot thank Corlie and WWS enough for an amazing trip for my parents and grandmother. I was nervous as I was not traveling with them and it was their first trip to South Africa. Corlie was amazing! She listened to my every request and established the perfect trip. Airport transportation was just as scheduled with an engaging and knowledgeable driver. Upon arrival at Mohlabetsi Safari Lodge, my family could not have been more impressed. Great lodge, with a wonderfully friendly staff and great food. All game activities were perfect, with the guide and tracker offering a detailed education on everything they encountered. The family saw more animals than they ever dreamed of, they were in awe. Thank you again WWS and especially Corlie, I would give 6 stars if I could!

Unbeatable.
This safari was arranged by Just You holidays so I have no idea of the ease of booking or cost. However the weeks safari was excellent covering the Amboseli National Park, Aberdare Highlands, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara. Well organised with plenty of game drives both early morning and late afternoon. Our driver, Gilbert, was the best, uncannily spotting animals when driving on tricky terrain and full of knowledge.
