Great value for little money
I did a seven day camping safari with Northern Circuit Adventure. I was in five parks in seven days and saw tons of animals (inclucing the Big Five)! It can be a little stressful to visit five parks in seven days, but you will see a lot and make the most out of your stay. The food was good, we had nice tents and sleeping gear. The staff was very helpful with the tents and everything else, good communication with Mike. The guys were always right on time, which can be difficult in Africa :-)
Great budget safari for people who want to see lots of animals for little money.

Excellent planning of the tour, friendly competent guides, always on time. A very good recommendatio
It was a pleasure to realise the roundtrip with this company. The guides were very good in knowledge about the nature and also about the actual economic situation in uganda. The recommended accommodations were in a good condition and very clean. It was a great experience.

A perfect Safari
Perfect organization and very serious throughout. Notifications pre safari took place via email and phone with Robert and post-safari briefing with Greyson for final verification that all went well. We had a great time with our guide Rama. Planet Lodge in Arusha and Country Lodge in Karatu good starting points to move to the parks. Thanks to them our nature adventure was unforgettable.

Really being in Africa
For the beginning of 2012 we had signed up for a trip through Botswana and Namibia with Indigo Safaris. We were thoroughly satisfied with the way everything was organised and with what we saw and there is very little we can add to the laudatory enthusiasm of the other reviews, but we particularly and unforgettably remember - from Namibia - the long, steep sweaty climb in the deep, hot, sifting, flowing sand of the dark-orange dunes, and driving up the long, dry, sandy bed of the Hoanib River in its remote valley and, sitting still in the infinitely silent midday heat under the endless deep blue sky, watching a group of dusty desert elephants clustered around their young ones, lazily fanning their ears as they eyed us from under a spreading canopy of acacias.
Christopher Bartlett knows Africa well, is a very competent and resourceful guide and inspires total confidence. Do not hesitate. No problem with the five stars.
Excellent ratio quality price

Flexible East African safari
I have just spent 4 weeks travelling Uganda and Tanzania with the East African Safari and Touring company run by Simon who lives in Tanzania. 2 families travelled together and put together a unique itinerary including the mountain gorillas, Serengeti, Zanzibar and Mafia island. All accommodation, travel and food was included. The company provided excellent service overall and come highly recommended, the guides were easy to get on with, well informed and competent. Some of the accommodation was at company owned lodges adding to the unique feel to the trip. Flights were booked but what seems to be a Tanzanian trend, only fully paid for the day prior, creating a bit of uncertainty when the flights departed until the day of the flight! Despite this all flights happened! Contact details to use if plans have to change would have been useful on the itineraries, short failing for a great, well priced trip and highly recommended.

Knowledgeable and entertaining guides
What an awesome experience to go out on a tour with guides who know their country, and can present it in an entertaining way. There is nothing boring about museum visits or city tours with Flight of the Eagle Tours. Can definitely recommend them to anyone of any age, as they are accommodating and make every excursion a great experience!

Excellent and personal service
It all started with a cosy stay at a small hotel in a secluded corner of Arusha, organised by African Guides. Here we were picked up by our driver, guide and new friend (all in one person) who took us on a fascinating three-day trip in the Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara National Parks with overnight stays at cosy lodges right next to each of the parks. The view from the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater at sunrise was fantastic, and so was the safari game drive in the crater. All the iconic 'species from television' showed up, including the rhinoceros, but believe it or not - to me, as a North-European - the most fascinating experience was to see lots of white storks walking around here in their winter residence. Lake Manyara National Park was similarly fascinating. In a way it was actually more exciting (for the grown-ups at least) than the crater because the lush woodland around the lake made it difficult to see the animals until they were suddenly there, right in front of us. Altogether the experience was very different from that of the Ngorongoro, and the wildlife was also very different, lots of elephants, giraffes, monkeys and birds (and butterflies). All in all, three wonderful days at a beautiful time of the year with perfect service and lots of happy memories. Asante sana, kwa kweli!

Trip of a Lifetime
We returned on January 25, 2014, from our amazing Kenya safari. Words cannot adequately describe our wonderful adventure. The trip was truly amazing: the animals, the landscape, and the Kenyan people. Every aspect of the trip provided by Odyssey Safaris was first class. We loved the places we stayed and are grateful to Mark Cahill and his team that everything about our time in Africa was absolute perfection.
Our guide, Erastus, was the key to our unforgettable safari. Not only is Erastus a great guide and driver, he is also a very nice man. His ability to spot all of the various animals was remarkable, and we thoroughly enjoyed his narrative about what we were fortunate to be seeing. We found four of the Big Five on our first afternoon; and watched a leopard on Day 5 chasing an impala for the kill. Wow! Four female lions with two cubs, a week-old baby giraffe, two cheetahs, a serval cat, black rhinos, and elephant families with babies, were some of the highlights to go along with viewing thousands and thousands of other animals. And to finish it all off on the last day, we watched four adult male lions with the hippo they had killed that night.
We will never forget our wonderful adventure to Africa. Thank you, Odyssey Safaris!
