Great individual Kilimanjaro tour + 1 day Safari (Ngorongoro)
We booked a very individual tour on mountain Kilimanjaro. We decided for the lemosho route and reached the summit! :-) Our two guides were very experienced and we had much fun with them and they with us. The big advantage of a small group tour is, that we could align the starting time and the pace for every day. So it was also possible to add acclimatisation walks in the afternoons. Food was delicious and we wondered how our cook could provide us with such tasty and various food over the whole tour. Also the whole team was very friendly and obliging.
After the kilimanjaro tour we added 1 day safari at Ngorongoro crater, also a individual tour for us.
Andrew - the boss of the travel-agency - was very flexible in arranging our whole kili tour and safari including all needed transfers, hotel accommodations, etc. Especially the way back to the airport early morning at 3 a.m. was organized by Andrew quasi overnight. Thanks a lot for that again!
We could highly recommend this local agency.

Uganda 2 week Birding and Mammal Tour January 2014
Hi my name is Peter Saunders from Nottingham England--we booked this birding holiday a year in advance with Deo. The participants were Peter and Lorraine Saunders, Jonny Price and Will Price.
From the time we initially committed to the holiday Deo (Uganda Eco Tours) kept us upadte with news and answered any queries etc very quickly!
As for the tour the combination of Deo and Robert Nuwagaba made for a brilliant and facinating experience. Both brilliant birders knowing all the bird calls and habitats with an amazing gift a actually location the birds. Deo has a great mindset for detail and orginisation with the trip running without any significant problems. In 2 weeks we saw 470 species of birds and lots of mammals including Shoebill, Green-breasted Pitta, Finfoot (which was unexpected), Chimpanzee and Gorilla (amazing experience) and lots lots more. The accommodation and food were excellent with wonderful views from most places. I would strongly recommend the service of Deo if you are planning a trip to Uganda-Deo and Robert are really nice people with a great knowledge of the wildlife of Uganda. They both have a good sense of humor, very polite and look after their participants very well!
Thank you both for a great trip one we will never forget!
Good birding Pete Saunders

Wonderfull...!
Me and my girlfriend booked a 5days safari to Masai Mara,Lake Nakuru & Lake naivasha,we were traveling on budget so we looked on line for kenya camping safaris and we landed on KARIBU SAFARIS,we were in communication with Odera,he was very quick in responding emails,we had several offers but we decided to book with them because they had other benefits on top of the price we had paid that other operators dint have/changed extra.
Upon arrival at the airport we were picked by edward in a sallon car and taken to the hotel,then odera came to see us at the hotel after we finishes with the safari briefings we were given complimentary safari huts,the next day we were picked by antony the driver guide and were joined other travelers,in masai mara we tsya in lenchada tented camp in lake nakuru we stayed in chester hotel and in Lake naivasha we stayed in Taphe guest house.
The 4nights was excellent with game drives in both mara and lake nakuru and in lake naivasha we rode the bike in hellsgate.
The safari was Good and i can remend the safri company and the driver guide(antony) too.

Holiday was AMAZING. Everything we had hoped for.
Right from our first enquiry they couldn't do enough to make sure we had the holiday we wanted , within our price range. Even when we had to add another traveller , and then remove her again it was all done without fuss.

Great trip to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi
We had a great 4 days trip to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi and Saint Lucia. Endless Summer was very helpful and perfectly honnest from the planning to the end of the trip. Accomodations and meals were very good and all activities were worth it, except for the night drive (or maybe we were just unlucky then). Rhys is a knowledgable guide, a very dedicated professional and the nicest person, and he really worked hard to make our trip unforgettable. Thansk to him and Endless summer for the memories, and hope to be back soon! Rachel & Leo-

A totally enjoyable trip around South Africa
The fact that only 4 of us were travelling around South Africa with Crusty (our tour leader) made it a very special experience as we all became firm friends by the end of it. We saw a lot of what South Africa has to offer with Kruger national park being the highlight for me , the wildlife we saw there was just amazing. All the accommodation was of a high standard and the vehicle we travelled in always clean and comfortable. It truly got Africa into my blood and I couldn't wait to visit again. I totally recommend Compass Odyssey to anyone interested in a very personal and enjoyable African safari. The service was memorable and Crusty always managed to keep everyone happy.

An adventure, an amazing experience, lots of fun and altogether a great travel odyssey -Wonderful
Choosing again to travel with Compass Odyssey I certainly was not dissapointed. The service was outstanding with the tour leader Darren always enquiring & endevouring to meet the needs of each individual within the group. Noel the driver & Allen the cook were extaordinarily good at what they did as well as being a joy to travel with.
The highlights for me were Zimbabwe - Victoria Falls, Botswana - Chobe, Maun Royal Tree Lodge, Okavango Delta & South Africa - Kruger National Park, Johannesburg Soweto. We certainly experienced first hand meeting many fascinating people, seeing a diversity of places, landscapes, animals & birds & stayed in varied & different types of accommodation.
A fantastic travel experience .... i would certainly reccomend!!!!

Great bush felling
I visited Bwabwata np in January this year (2014).
During previous traveling trough the Zambezi Region i had cross the park using the Transcaprivi in both day and nigth time. The daytime where not verry rewardings by during the night i saw duikers, springhares, buffalos, wilddogs on two occasions and even a caracal, all that along the main road!
When visiting this year i entered the park south east section from Kongola to Nambwa Campsite. There i saw elephant, kudus, impalas, lechwes, waterbucks, baboons, warthogs... and event 3 lions!
The campsite was lovely with a viewing platform towards the floodplains.
I stayed there for two nights. There was another party in the campsite on the first night, i was alone on the second.

On top of Africa with MJ Safaris
My girlfriend and me went from Kenya to Tanzania in the matter of climbing Kilimanjaro. We took a bus to Moshi and met the tour operator Jackson. In the same evening we went to a local restaurant and on our way back to our hostel we were roped. We called Jackson because he was the only guy we knew in Tanzania. He stood up in the middle of the night and came to help us. We supposed to start the climb the day after the accident but we could not because we should have made a new passport. In one week Jackson was so helpful and he took us to the hospital and the police station to get our documents. After that week we were ready to start the hike. It was the most beautiful experience standing on Uhuru peak and see the sunrise in a great panorama view. After our experiences with Jackson and his company, MJ Safaris, we can only give him and his company the best recommendation because of a service level higher that we have ever experienced in Africa before.
