Friendly and professional services
We've been on a 6 day Machame route track to Kilimanjaro followed by a two day safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro. The logistics were organized by Africa Royal Trekking and although I had some worries before going to Tanzania, I have to admit I was wrong. Mr. Loya and Josh were friendly and professional, they adapted everything according to our needs so we had a good stay in Tanzania. We have joined another grouped and the guide to the mountain was Mr. Joseph from Double P Mountaineering and Safari Experts Ltd, again I can only say good words about him and his crew too. They guided us safely to the top, solved the logistic problem of half a group being on 6 day, the other on 7 day schedule. In our free day we were also accompanied and guided around Arusha, having another nice day there with good people. Thank you!

Great Experience, great knowledge, best driver/guide!
We had a great 5 night Safari Tour with Kimomwe Adventure and Safaris covering the most popular spots in Tanzania, like Ngorongoro and Serengeti national park. Kimomwe and Moses (Our Driver/Guide) did everything to make us feel comfortable. They knew so much of nature, animals and culture. It was amazing. We saw almost every kind of animal and they made everything possible to have the best view. So all in all best Safari of my life. Thank you so much again. Please go ahead and book Kimomwe Adventure and Safaris now and experience it by your own!

Everything was clear and well organised.
I’ve had an amazing 4-day safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Everything was really well organised by the amazing people from the company. I would definitely recommend it to everybody.

Memorable 10 days safari in Uganda
Finally made up my mind and decided to start planning a 10 days tour in Uganda with my dad and sister and here comes the most difficult question..what tour operator should we go for?
After a careful online evaluation, we decided to reach out to Gorilla O'Clock and Vivian (co-owner of the tour operator) is the first person we got in contact with - very supportive and very much available to answer all our questions, communication was great and she gave us several tips on what to see and what not.
Once having figured the majority of the trip out, comm moved to Whatsapp (way more direct, I really liked that) where Paul (the other co-owner) gave us additional tips and recommendations before our departure and helped throughout the visa, vaccination, etc. process.
Departure day finally comes around, and upon our arrival, Paul gave us a very warm welcome coming to pick us up at the airport and introducing us to our tour guide, the one and only..Khalif!!!
The trip would have surely been great in itself but Khalif added something else to it :) very talkative and knowledgeable about everything that could possibly be found in Uganda - you can tell straight away how passionate he is about his job! Always made us feel at ease, brought us to eat amazing local food along the way (you have to know that Khalif is also known as Mr. Matoke), made us feel part of the country and not just simple visitors, and most importantly - he always had a smile on his face and created a very friendly and chill atmosphere!
And let's not forget about our safari experience in the parks, you can count on Khalif if your goal is to spot every single animal you want - memorable the leopard sleeping on a tree in Ishasha, or the lion's family in Murchison Falls.
Generally, accommodations were very good and clean with amazing views over nature, the food was amazing and the trip was very planned as a whole - we managed to be on schedule and do all the activities we had planned.
Thanks a lot, Paul, Khalif, and Vivian for the amazing adventure, hope to see you again in the future perhaps visiting Europe or Africa again... who knows!
Uganda was just an unforgettable experience! You are doing great with Gorilla O'clock keep it up!!

Express and well organised
Such an amazing trip!
Well organised with the best tour guide ever - James!
We had such a good evening game ride which was the best part of our 3 days spent on this tour.
Service in the camp was good, people so nice and helpful for everything.
Would recommend to always have snacks with you as some rides are long and it takes time to get to the point.
Overall mark and experience is 10/10!
James, we love you boy, thanks for the best time and great memories! Photos are saying milion of words❤️
Camp crew thanks for taking care of us and making that hot water in the middle of Africa to work for us!

Reliable
We were in Kenya on March 2023, we were a group of 6 people with 1 jeep, driver name is Abdullah.
Our experience was good, we saw a lot of animals, except leopard, cheetah and rhino, but we saw lots of elephants, zebra, antelopes, and lions. Mybe my vote should have been excellent if we had seen all (naturally I perfectly know that it is only a matter of fortune, but the animlas you saw or didn't see influence your judgement ... believe me ...)
However, speaking of SERVICE: we stay 3 nights, one at VOY in Tsavo East, that was nice with a pool (for the animlas) just in front of the resort (that has also a pool for guest), one night at Sentrim Safari Lodge in Amboseli (this is a tended camp really very good) and 1 night at Ngulia Safari Lodge in Tsavo West, also in this case a pool (for the animlas) just behind of the resort (that has also a pool for guest) - we spent nice days, every locations have the swimming pool so you can relax between the morning and afternoon safaris. We had good lunch and dinner (and naturally breakfast) , maybe food speaking VOY was a little bit under the level of the others.
Reliability: very good, we have a problem with our car, so unfortunately we lost time but, thanks to our EXCELLENT Driver it was fixed promptly.
I repeat Abdullah was perfect ! The jeep that we have seemed brad new, so we were only unlucky.

Nothing is too much trouble
The communication before we even arrived in Kenya was absolutely incredible and Polly helped us overcome a small bump in regards to our initial travel. When we arrived, Charles was there to pick us up and welcomed us warmly. He was very knowledgeable and organised yet still took into account what we wanted to do.
The hotels we stayed at were perfect for what we needed and obviously are well chosen by Mufasa to ensure an outstanding safari experience.
The team went above and beyond to make our trip memorable and we are so glad we chose Mufasa. They were actually recommended to us by a friend and we shall be passing on the recommendation to everyone we know!

Peter is absolutely committed, knows Africa very well and does everything to offer his guests the pe
My wife and I drove from Zambia via Zimbabwe and Botswana to Namibia with Peter. The almost three weeks were fantastic. There could not have been a better driver and guide. In the Okavango Delta, his experience with the wilderness and the animals living there came in very handy. Safety is always a top priority for him. Both the preparation and the execution of the trip were absolutely professional. An all-round satisfaction experience. Definitely recommendable.

Compass Odyssey is outstanding in every way; great service, awesome guides, and spectacular tours!
Darren, aka Crusty, and Kate provided us great service during the 3 1/2 years it took to get us to Africa. We started planning this trip in 2019 and then, you all know what happened in spring of 2020! Darren was so patient and helpful through two sets of dates over the past 3 years. Their attention to detail is outstanding; they left nothing to chance for our trip. We were elated to finally make this trip in March 2023 and it was better than I ever dreamed it would be.
All of the tour guides and drivers that hired by Compass Odyssey were fantastic; very helpful and attentive to our needs and security. Tifo our safari guide in Botswana, through the Chobe River Lodge was the best safari guide I've ever had. Tifo was driving, missing many of the ruts and holes while looking for animals all around us and checking the ground for tracks and scat. He was amazing. And, Garth, our guide in Cape Town, was the best tour guide I've ever had the pleasure of learning from. Garth gave us a concise history of Cape Town and surroundings. He was also very knowledgeable on the winemaking areas. Garth presented all the information in a well-ordered classroom type format. He made it very easy to listen to and in a very interesting manner.
Again, this trip with Compass Odyssey's help, was one of our favorite trips, ever!
