Review about Swaziland by Arthur Chapman
The people are friendly - there are two major wildlife areas - Mlilwane Wildlife Reserve and the Hlane Royal National Park - that are both worth visiting. There are a range of good accommodation options available.

Everything went according to plan and Hello Tanzania delivered outstanding service!
Meajabu was very helpful and “no” was mot in her dictionary.
We visited Makumi game reserve and were lucky to see the big five. The hotel was simple but ok. All the food was included, als during the safari.
We had a good experience!

Great Safari
Great communication before our arrival. During safari the communication with our guide was sometimes difficult, he was more calling with the phone than talking to us. On questions we asked him, he gave us short and not very informative answers.
The accomodations were very good. Perfect hotels with great food.
During the whole tour we felt very secure. Good driver.

Orongai Africa Safari gave us an awesome experience
I booked our 5 day Safari via Internet with Orongai Africa Safari. From the first time I was corresponding with Martha I had a good feeling that I can trust the company. Everything with the payment worked. On the airport we were warmly welcomed. Then we had a meeting were she told us what will happen the next days. Our guide Frank was very very nice and friendly. We could ask him everything and he had to nearly all questions an answer. Frank has a very good knowledge from Serengeti. So we were lucky to see a lot of animals without other cars around. And we saw the big five!
From Orongai Africa Safari everything was organized very well and we have nothing to complain about! We can recommend this company to everyone who is interested in a Safari in Tansania.

I love zebras
the safari is preserved in very good shape. everybody respect the nature. weather was good during our visit. everything is good, except for the taxi drivers, who always deceive travelers for extra money, which is a big turn off.

Well-planned & great communication
We had an amazing time in Chobe & the Okavango on one of Darren's trips. Our time in Pom Pom Camp was unforgettable thanks to a fantastic guide named Patros. Darren was thorough and quick to respond as we planned our trip -- which is very important when you're trying to become comfortable with logistics of a trip into the bush. The camp had a potentially significant luggage SNAFU on our way out the door, but the camp operator took care of us while we were delayed in Maun -- and Darren did what he could to assist.
Our time at Garden Lodge in Chobe was nice. The owners are fantastic, but one of the staff members left a bit of a bitter taste. I understand that person is being cycled out soon enough, so should not count against the lodging.
Overall, my feeling is that we live in an age where its become increasingly feasible to design your own worldly adventures. We picked Compass Odyssey because it lined up with our trip budget, however, after the fact, I do believe the trip was slightly over-priced. I say that even though Compass Odyssey gave us a great deal of peace of mind headed into our adventure and guided us to some great venues.

Exciting, Safe, and Professional
The winter weather was ideal with pleasant temperatures. Our guides made every effort to enable us to see the animals that we wanted to see. It was not crowded in the vehicle. The lodge was friendly and comfortable and the food was delicious.

Great safari at a great price
The gane drives on the Maasai Mara in Kenya were amazing. Accomodations were basic thiugh sufficient. It was a budget safari after all.
Joseph was a great guide and expert2 at finding wildlife.
All in all had a lot of fun.

Fantastic Safari
- We were on a 6-day safari last month to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Haji our tour guide was wonderful. Everything went according to the plan. Simon was very helpful in planning our trip and responded back efficiently to all our needs during the trip.
