My Fears squashed!
I booked this trip after a recommendation from a cousin who had used Real African Tours before. Not having been to this part of Africa I had no idea what to expect. Quite honestly, I feared for the worst. On arrival I was pleased to see that my fears were unfounded. The lodge in the Mara was clean, spacious and the staff fantastically friendly and helpful. The unit we were given was large spacious and more than adequate. The lodge is quite remote so you do need to be prepared to move around to get provisions and to fully enjoy your stay. Maasai Mara is breathtaking! The drives were interesting as I got to see animals I only saw on TV. I spent three days in the Mara and I will be forever grateful to the Real African Tours team!

An amazing experience with fantastic tour guides.
Crusty (Darren) and lovely partner Kate were wonderful people and extremely knowledgeable guides. We visited amazing places and experienced being around the African wildlife which was a dream come true. The food was amazing and accommodation was very comfortable. Don't think about...just do it!

Fantastic!!!!
Last year we went with Touch Africa to the Mount Meru. The organization was perfect!!!
And for this trip we decided to also organize with them the safari. It was a fantastic experience! They are kind and very professional!
I recommend it to whoever wants to have a marvelous experience and wants to avoid western operators. Besides Touch Africa is managed by a fantastic person, a true masai, that he devolves part of the result to help the tribes of the tanzania.
We have been very well...in short! Recommended under all the aspects!!! Good trip!
Review about Mahale Mountains National Park by butforthesky
A little too close to Arusha to really feel like you're on safari, but decent viewing and scenery

A birthday to remember
I had never imaged that I would be going to Kenya and I was a bit nervous about experience. But I should not have been. Odyssey had everything taken care of. They sent us all the information well ahead of time. They met us at the airport and got us our our way! Everything was arranged and there were zero issues along the way.
Our guide, Simon, was always punctual and was very knowledgeable. When he got a tip on a good sighting, he was a man on a mission to get us there. Yet he could be patient. We spotted a lioness and her cubs moving into the bush. He turned off the engine and told us to wait...sure enough the mother and 4 cubs emerged a few minutes later. He had a great eye and found us many interesting sights.
We celebrated our daughter birthday on the last evening. I don' think she will ever forget the experience.
If I had a complaint it was that the van was too full. With 7 adults plus our 10 year old and all the luggage and water it was very tight.
I would travel with Odyssey again!

The crater adds to the surreality of the experience.

More of a stopover than a destination.
Review about Kenya by Raphael Cohn
Kenya was an excellent safari destination for our honeymoon. With lots of animals, diverse landscapes in the different parks and accomodations available for all levels.
