Family Safari & Adventure
Cannot say enough fantastic things about entire 17 day (total including flights to/from USA) experience! Compass Odyssey did an outstanding job for us! Began working with Darren (Crusty) Humphries at Compass Odyssey about 20 months before trip, but it was worth it. 8 of us travelled together. Guides, food & Lodgings in Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa were outstanding. (Even weather was cooperative!) All guides were fantastic and showed real interest in our family.
Everything was executed PERFECTLY!
Prior to trip, Darren personally responded very quickly (via email) to all my silly questions, requests and itinerary changes. Could not have requested better service, responsiveness or help planning! We would highly recommend utilizing them any time!

Best Wildlife safari ever.
This is a fantastic day trip for the kids and adults. We have been coming since my daughter was two. She loves it. Large Safari area with large number of birds. You can watch the elephants swimming. The animals seemed to be in good health & have lot of area to roam about. It is well worth it. I'm happy with Wildlife Safari Exploreans staff and services.

Wonderfull trip!!!
The communication with Mr. O.T. was very quick. He really listen to our wishes. We were warmly received when we went to the office before the trip. The trip was as we expected: good accomodations, good van, a good guide. We've travelled before with Mr. O.T and again it was wonderfull! I can reccomend his service!

Great Safari experience in Kenya and Tanzania
We had good game viewing althought there were tse-tse flies around. You should not wear dark colors especially dark blue and black as they say it attracts the flies.
We saw the river crossing, Gnus in their thousands. We saw a large heard of gnus numbering in their thousands. It was a stunning safari drive surrounded by Zebras and lions on the endless plains. It is true that the Grumeti Crocodiles are the largest in Africa if not the World.
On a side note, the camp had WI-FI which was welcome and a Large TV which was only used for World cup matches given the different nationalities of the people at the camp along with flowing alcohol, it was a potent combination of some raucous games at night.
All in all we had a wonderful Safari and we are hoping to travel to South Africa with World Escapes hopefully in two years.

The most fantastic safari holiday -Thanks to Travel for change Africa
From our 1st email everything went totally smoothly with Travel for Change Africa. We arranged a 4 park safari and it was perfect in every way.
We were met at the airport by Eliud from the office and he explained every thing to us with a big smile.
Our driver/safari guide was Francis and he was fantastic, I could not have asked for a better person to look after us. He was really easy to get on with and was incredibly knowledgeable and a fantastic driver, especially in some of the conditions we encountered.
we visited Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakura, and Masai Mara.
if you are thinking of a safari in Kenya I would highly recommend, Travel for change Africa. It was also great value for money.

Amazing, affordable 8-days-camping-Safari in the northern circuit with the best driverguide and chef
My brother and I had an amazing week with the best imaginable driverguide and an excellent chef. The safari was unexpectedly private (without paying a higher price), as the organization didn't find any other customers to join us. The communication with taste of afrika worked out well, they considered all our wishes concerning the transfer from the airport at our arrival, the duration in the particular national parks or the routes we took to get there. Also the payment worked without complications.
We visited Lake Manyara NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire NP and our Driverguide (Gabrieli Naftal) was the best in spotting animals and explaining a few facts about all of them. He really has a huge knowledge concerning tanzanian wildlife and culture!
The campsites were well chosen and Massawe (our chef) took good care of us. His cooking was delicious! Although there are no fences around the campsites we never felt unsafe. On the contrary, it increased our wildlife experience enormously.
I have to admit, as the safari was very affordable for such a long trip, we were quite sceptical in advance. But as soon as we got there, we were thrilled by the great organization and the kindness of the taste of afrika employees. I would book another safari with this organization without hesitation!

Great experience with Kilimanjaro Brothers
My girlfriend and I completed a 8 day hike on Mount Kilimanjaro going up on Lemosho route and descent through Mweka.
Each of the trekking day was different and had varied memories. Mount Kilimanjaro itself is grandeur and Lemosho route is definitely very scenic, more than we had anticipated.
The key to a successful ascent of Mt Kilimanjaro is to take it laid-back during the first days and ensuring that you acclimatise to the altitude before attempting the final hike to the summit. Upon hitting Uhuru Peak, it is quite a sense of great achievement standing on top the mountain. It is for sure a an amazing experience watching the sun rise over the African skies and with amazing views.
We used the service of Kilimanjaro Brothers directly and George made all the arrangements for us. Everything was delivered as planned and at reasonable cost. Robin, the Kilimanjaro guide was an excellent choice and an expert in helping out alongside the a team of porters and cook.
The cook and porters were all very good and well organised, the food was good, warm and plentiful with fresh fruits. Everything was on time and the guide adjusted hiking tempo to our abilities and frequent photo stops. He knew well what he was doing. The hike itself, landscape and nature, is of course exceptional.
Without the help of Robin, we wouldn’t have succeeded in reaching the summit. George was an excellent planner and made all efforts in providing all the information we needed beforehand. Everything was as per the details provided and trust me that they know the mountain very well, providing you with the right info and the potential problems and solutions.
For us, using Kilimanjaro Brothers was a great experience.

Everything we hoped for
We spent 14 days on safari with Stephen & Gerhardt. They introduced us to the beauty, the animals, and the people of the Kalahari. We stayed in wonderful hotels, visited spectacular private reserves, and got off the beaten path to have close up encounters with the animals of Africa. From Kudus to Elands, Giraffes to Zebras, Lions to Elephants to Cape Buffalos, we had multiple sightings of all of them. Our guides were knowledgeable, familiar with the local people and adventures, and treated us like we royalty. A flawless vacation, with memories for a lifetime.
