Unforgettable!
We had an amazing time! From the moment they picked us up at the airport where they greeted us with gifts and a warm smile. Our safari experience surpassed all our expectations. A special thanks to our Guide/Driver and now friend Lawrence who made this trip unforgettable, his professionalism and attentiveness at all times made the difference from having a safari to having a roadtrip which we will always remember fondly. He always went the extra mile to keep us happy and his expertise as a guide made us witness many incredible moments on our game drives. Thank you Lawrence you are undoubtedly the best!!!

perfect safari, gilbert top guide
I did a 3-day safari with Ndutu Green Explorer explorers and it was the most incredible experience of my entire life. Everything organized to perfection by Tom and Vivian super available for every request made. Special mention for the guide Gilbert, very nice and super expert in finding all possible animals, in the 3 days of Safari we were able to see all the possible animals. In addition, Gilbert was super friendly and also very prepared in explaining animal behaviors and everything around us. I absolutely recommend Ndutu Green Explorers and especially Gilbert if you want to organize an unforgettable safari

Dedicated to create great memories
We picked on purpose a local operator based on strong reviews and Akondo delivered. We were impressed by the extensive and friendly communication before and during our trip. They didn't just offered a standard tour but made sure it was tailored to our desires. Special thanks to Tassiana for all the effort and always being there for answering on any question or request.
We got a trip which was really value for money. Compared to other operators they were less expensive while delivering top quality. What is crucial for safari's is to have a great guide, and we had one with Richard. He brought us to all the nice places while explaining us what we wanted and needed to know. Also important he drove safe.
We loved the accomodations they picked for us. All different but all lovely. We will never forget this trip

Tour guide Eli made the trip an excellent experience!
The whole experience was excellent! Direct communication from the office and proper organization of the trip and the parks! Eli, our guide, picked us up at the airport and we spent 4 wonderful days seeing wildlife and all the beautiful animals of the parks! The stay was great in all the accommodations! Eli gave us information about the places in the park, he found all the wild beautiful creatures even the most well-hidden ones! Very kind and cheerful every day! He made our trip unforgettable!! If they did it again, we would wish Eli well!

Great experience!!
We booked the five-day tour of climbing Mount Kenya and enjoyed exploring the beautiful valley with its lobelias, a wonderful waterfall, and nice campsites e.g. near Lake Ellis. The surrounding scenery was absolutely amazing.
We had a great team, an excellent guide, and a fantastic cook who prepared delicious meals with fresh fruits and vegetables. The food was nice presented, and they even created a lovely picnic spot with a nice tablecloth. The tents were new, and the equipment was of good quality.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience to climb the Mount Kenya as a family with our 3 teenagers.

1day trip Unforgettable Day Safari Thanks to Excellent Guide Charles K
My safari tour was absolutely fantastic, largely thanks to our guide Charles K. He delivered exceptional service throughout the whole day. Charles was extremely knowledgeable about local wildlife, patiently pointing out every animal for us and sharing interesting facts about their habits. He drove attentively, adjusted our route flexibly, and always made sure we got perfect viewing angles.
We were incredibly lucky to spot a wide variety of animals. We saw tall giraffes wandering across the grassland, hippos resting by the lake, and even lions resting in the shade. Besides these highlights, we also came across zebras, antelopes, plus dozens of beautiful bird species with bright feathers.
Thanks to Charles’s sharp eyes and rich experience, we barely missed any key wildlife. It was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend him to anyone planning a safari trip.

Exceptional & reliable
We did the budget 7 day safari and it was amazing! The customer service from the tour operator was responsive and reliable and the organisation was smooth, seamless and without delays. We had two amazing drivers who were extremly friendly and knowledgable. The camps and hotels were quite lovely for a budget option. All in all it was a great experience and very good value for money. I would definitely recommend!

Such a pleasure to deal with, on every possible level.
This was our fourth safari (fifth trip) with Compass Odyssey (CO). As usual, Darren and Kate did not disappoint.
Honesty; integrity; reliability; responsiveness; patience; knowledge; expertise; kindness; safety; cost effectiveness; attention to detail… I could go on and on; but, in essence, excellence is what characterizes them, and this is why we keep going back.
This was a particularly tricky safari to organize for various reasons. Nevertheless, CO guided us through the process, ever mindful of our wants and needs, with zero pressure to eventually travel.
You cannot go wrong with CO. We believe they are the best.
This safari was for myself, my adult daughter and one of her friends. The experience was tailored to suit us perfectly. We loved the itinerary, the camps, the guides, and of course the ANIMALS, including GIZA the black leopard!
Describe your dream to CO, and they will make it come true!
Thank you so much, Darren and Kate. We have so many new wonderful memories to daydream about, thanks to you and your team.
You can expect to hear from us for our next adventure in the foreseeable future!

Terrible experience we wouldn't wish on anyone
We have had a terrible and incredibly stressful experience with Congema Safaris. Everything started off great until they got a deposit from us and then it became incredibly difficult to get any communication from them, for months. We found out that nothing on the itinerary was booked for us by contacting hotels and providers directly. When we requested our deposit be refunded, they said they would do this after almost 2 months and explained they used OUR money to book other groups in for a trip that was cancelled. They seemed quite happy to let us think our holiday was all booked for months, which makes us believe they were scamming us. They have not refunded our money and are ignoring our communications again, which makes us believe we won't receive it. Please make sure to look for well reviewed providers so that you don't go through all the stress and struggle we have.
