Fantastic, well organized experience
The communication throughout the booking process and arranging all of the logistics was very clear and straightforward with no issues. Everything was on time, well planned out, and delivered against what was described. Our guide, Henry, was wonderful and was such a joy to learn more about the region from someone so passionate about what they do.

Allan is the professional and experienced tour guide and Williamson Adventures is lucky to have him.
Our tour guide, driver, Allan made our trip. He was so detailed about all the animals and birds and ensured that we got the safari experience. Allan knew exactly where to go so we could see the abundance of Anilmal. Allan is the best tour guide we ever had! Not only did Allan make sure that our experience was unforgettable, he educated us about the animals, birds, trees and plants. Allan was unsurpassed and set a very high bar for our trip. I cannot recommend Allan enough!! I would go again to Tanzania but only if Allan is our guide again in the future.

Excellent service from the booking process right throughout the entire trip in Namibia
Both my wife and I enjoyed an incredible 11-day tour to Namibia in April 2023, fully arranged by Compass Odyssey. The process was so efficient and easy from the original enquiry through to agreeing on the final itinerary. Communication was timely and informative with various options offered both on the places to visit and the accommodation choices. Overall, the whole experience was seamless and the excellent value for money. Once we arrived at Windhoek, we were met by our guide Elvis and everything went smoothly throughout the whole 11 days, not even one hitch. Elvis was incredibly knowledgeable about everything from Namibian history to the geology, geography fauna and flora. With over 20 years' experience as a tour guide, he knew all the good spots to find the various animals, both in the parks and the just generally in the wild. We stayed in medium to high range accommodation for the majority of the tour except in the Etosha National Park, where we stayed in the park itself in one of the previously government owned camps. This was not luxurious accommodation but was still very clean, spacious and comfortable, and if you want to be in the park after sunset and before sunrise it is the only accommodation option and as a result you can do the night safari which was an excellent experience. Overall, this was a fantastic vacation, and I would highly recommend Compass Odyssey to anyone wanting to do an Africa tour in the countries they operate in. Many thanks to the Odyssey team for making this such a memorable holiday.

Don't hesitate to book a safari with these guys. Amazing!
We ( 3 couples) had a 3 day safari, with Hoppy as our guide. He looked after us like a parent, collecting us from Jo'burg and driving for hours and hours to the KNP and around it and making sure we were OK at every stage. He knew where to go, identified over 30 birds for us, and we saw so many animals. Only a Leopard eluded us. He even stopped after spotting a tiny chameleon at the edge of the road! The open safari vehicle was an excellent way to see the game, and photograph them. So many shots of wild animals up close. Elephants, impala and giraffes galore, warthogs, waterbuck, kudu, buffalo, wildebeeste, crocs, hippos, and on our final day, a lion and eventually rhino, sable, eland and gemsbok. We spent about 25 hours over those 3 days being driven around. It sounds like alot but it passed so quickly and comfortably. Even when the animals were hiding, driving around the African bush with a warm breeze in your face was delightful.
The attention to detail in our care was exceptional, and Hoppy knew so much about the animals and birds, and about the park in general. The breakfasts at Sabie River Lodge and Skukusa were amazing and the accommodation at Sabie River was delightful; Skukusa was a little more basic but comfortable. Getting up at 5am for early morning game drives seemed no hardship. We had a truly wonderful time. Thank you guys, and huge thanks to Hoppy. Our Safari finished a week ago, and I'm still dreaming of those elephants and giraffes!!

Great instructor with an interesting passion for birds, took us to all kinds of great places
Booking with Kichaka Tours was very quick and convenient. Wilson messaged me very quick after I put up some requests on their website. After that he was very quick to respond to my messages which ensured smooth communication. The day started early morning 6 am where instructor Frederick picked us up directly from our appartment. A short drive towards the National Park, with along the way a short conversation about the largest slum in Kenia called Kibera, and the game drive began. Instructor Frederick was very quick to show us where different animals were, he really put in the effort for us. Next to showing us lots of animals he showed us a great deal of the park as well, for instance by going somewhat off-road. Of course still plenty of animals were seen. It was even often that we were the first ones to see the animals.
All-in-all I would say we got value for our money with Kichaka Tours and Travel

MoAfrica Tours really delivered!
I went with them on a 6-hour Safari Tour of Pilanseberg National Park. The driver picked us up at our hotel right on time that they said they would come, really early in the morning. We stopped around halfway to stretch our legs, bathroom break and coffee. When we arrived at the park, the assigned park ranger was already waiting for us. The ranger took a little longer in finishing up the tour inside the park because there were unexpected animal sightings towards the end of the safari. The MoAfrika Tour driver was patiently waiting for us and took us all back to Johannesburg, dropping everyone at their hotels. It was a pleasant experience and I recommend it.

Perfection
Hello - We are very pleased with the services of Leken Adventure and would be happy to recommend the company to anyone travelling to Tanzania. We booked our dream Honeymoon trip, and the plan included a 2 day hike up Kilimanjaro (to Madara Hut and back), a 4-day trip to the Serengeti and a 1-day safari in Ngorongoro Crater. We concluded the remainder of our trip in Zanzibar which was the wonderful end. Everything was perfect from the quality of the staff, the places we stayed, transfers and the responsiveness of the team.
For the hike, we had Agri coordinate and Amani as our guide who was fantastic because he had the best botanical knowledge (he also took us on an impromptu walk of the Moshi market and it was great to learn how the locals go about their day to day). Benson was our other guide and was also great as he entertained us with local stories and always reminded us to hike "pole pole" up the mountain. Our chef and porter Eduardo was also amazing and did a fantastic cook for us that included a delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner. Be sure to tip these guys because going up an down with all that heavy load is no easy feat!
Hamza was our guide for the safari drives and he was the best there is. He gave us the right information, was very cheerful, resourceful and gave us full confidence in seeing all the big 5 animals (lions, water buffalos, rhinos, leopards and elephants) not just once but multiple times! He was also very accommodating and was happy to wake up early to give us as much time as we needed to explore more. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and friend. He truly lives the motto 'hakunamatata' and ensured we were smiling and laughing for four days straight. Also, in terms of places to stay, we really enjoyed the recommendations to stay at Kontiki (an unreal, 5-star camp site in the Serengeti) and Rhino Lodge (by Ngorongoro - the chef here is 1stclass!).
And finally, Alex was our main POC and was always available on WhatsApp for calls, questions or on the spur decisions. He was wonderful and constantly in touch. Big ASANTESAN from us to you for organizing and all your professionalism!
We 100% recommend Leken Adventure to anyone looking to travel to Tanzania. They offer customized plans based on your budgets and will go the extra mile to ensure you have the best time.
Lots of love,
Justin & Ivanka

Incredible experience with Richard, the best tour guide ever!
I done the 4 day safari with Lake Nakuru - cannot describe how amazing an experience this was! I've seen so many wild animals, met some amazing locals and Masai Mara Tribe! I sat and watched a pride of lions eating a buffalo and huge parade of elephants playing doing their thing. It was so good for the soul - I highly recommend. Richard our guide went above and beyond to offer us the best experience, he drove for hours and hours with a big smile on telling us anecdote on different species of fauna and flora. Lake Nakuru was not as impressive as I thought but not the sunnycreek's fault - I think if I was to re-do it I would go for the Gates of Hell instead!

An incredible and authentic experience in Botswana
We did a 7 night camping trip staying at Moremi, Savute, Kwai and Chobe River Front. Followed by 2 nights at Vic Falls. Moonstroll took care of every detail and it was an incredible holiday. certainly a trip of a lifetime. We took our kids age 14 and 12. It was the most authentic and incredible way to go on safari. It was the 4 of us, our guide Ben, who was very knowledgeable and had such a beautiful passion for the bush, animals and conservation. A team of 4 would look after everything, put up and take down the tents, provide us with most wonderful food all cooked on an open fire. We have home made fresh bread every day! We saw hundreds of animals and birds. We learnt so much, we also learnt how humans and wild animals live together in harmony. We had close up experiences with elephants, lions, hyena, leopard, lots of different antelope, hippos and much more. If like me, you are finding it hard to decide which company to choose. I would not hesitate to recommend Moonstroll, take the plunge and get it booked. Monametsi who organises everything. Was fantastic and very communicative. Book direct and pay by transfer, that way the local company does not lose funds in commission and you liaise with Monametsi direct and get to build up a relationship. If you are up for a truly authentic experience. Moonstroll tick every box. We had a hot shower set up for us, our camp loos were a closed in area at the back of the tent which worked really well. We had comfy camp beds. Our packed lunches on our moving days day meant that got to lunch at remote and stunning locations with just us and Ben our guide. There is nothing quite like camping in the wild in comfort. We loved every minute of our trip and felt safe and well cared for by Moonstroll. They all work so hard to ensure we had an awesome holiday.
