Well-organised and pleasent tour in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
Despite some clouds and slight rain in end-may, we had a very impressive journey with our guides.
Lake Manyara tour was clam, not a lot of other tourists and the ride was comfortable. In Ngorongoro, there were of course some other tourists, so we totally recommend the trip in low-season (no idea how crowded the crater would get in high season!). We saw a lot of different animals in these two parks, satisfactory of course.
In Tarangire, there were unfortunately not a lot of animals, mainly elephants we did see, but the landscape was magnificent and the day could be enjoyed nevertheless. Our safari guide provided us with many details about the wildlife but let us enjoy the trip with his pleasent reserved attitude.
The social and cultural tour in Mto wa Mbu was more interesting and less exhausting than we expected - all visited groups and societies were calm but still interesting. We learned a lot about many aspects of local peoples everyday life.
For the accomodation, the tents were really nice, gives some outdoor feeling and the living in twiga campsite was relaxing. The chef provided good food in exaggerated quantities.
Overall a very recommendable tour and an inspiring trip, thank you so much!

Very bad experience
We hired their service for people over 50 to climb Kilimanjaro on the Lemosho route. From the beginning the guides were annoyed because were not fast enough for their expectations. They gave us no kind of support and even treated us condescending. We made the claim to the company but they didn't give us any answers. In short , if you are over 50, forget about this company

No problems.
Our guide was in communications with other guides to get us to the best places to view the wild life. The service was excellent. The safari tour was so much more than I expected. I went without expectations and was not disappointed anywhere with anything.

Thoughtful and thorough
Darren was exceptional in handling all of the details in a timely manner which allowed me to travel at ease. He would anticipate my needs and offer recommendations that were spot-on. Expectations were fully met and even exceeded. The tour was well paced and offered an array of excursions that left me feeling inspired, joyful and never exhausted. Our hosts and guides were warm, informative, and fun. I highly recommend a trip organized by Compass Odyssey!

Four of us camping near Savuti, accompanied by our safari guide Lucky
Of the three weeks in Botswana and Zambia the few days in Savuti with Lucky of Gifts of the Kalahari we the most impressive. He showed us the lions, elephants and a lot of other animals, knew their stories. He also had great knowledge about birds and the park itself. During the evening he told us wonderful stories about how he became a safari guide. We shared meals and felt like being a family during these days. The simple camping life made it an unforgettable experience. It exceeded expectations.

Emanuel was amazing!
Emanuel was an amazing guide! I was not sure what to expect on my first safari but it so exceeded my expectations and was a trip of a lifetime. Emanuel was so attentive to all of our needs. Not only could he spot animals far in the distance he also has such a kind and caring personality. When a backpack was lost right before leaving he went back to the last stop and looked for it even though he was already done with our tour. I have returned home and recommended Emanuel to many of my friends. Thank you for an amazing trip!
