Good price/ quality
The friendly manager Diana was very helpfull and responsive when booking the safari. The price of our budget safari was the cheapest we could find among competitors online and safari was well worth it. Friendly guide with animal-spotting capacities. Overall a perfect trip for the money spent, well recommended.
2 minor issues:
- When we booked the safari, we transferred a deposit using the transfer tool the company suggested. Diana then told us she received 30 dollar less than the amount send (even though we paid additional fee for the transfer already). We emailed about it for weeks, in the end Diana offered to split the costs. We didn’t mind the 30 dollar, but were a bit worried about the credibility of the company beforehand (which luckely turned out to be okay in the end).
- water is included but we ran out of water after half of the trip and had to buy our own.

Absolutely an amazing tour saw lots and well organised
Communication prior to the trip was great, Accommodation was excellent all the way round - no power at the Hlane Rest Camp Swaziland which doesn't help if you need power for medical reasons . Would have to be one of the best holidays I/we have had with what we saw. Plenty of game lots of young being born so good time of the year to go mid September to mid October. Magic scenery from Golden Gate down through the Garden Route to Cape Town. Food cooked by the guide was excellent and well catered for. Weather was great not much rain, most days temps were mid 30's to early 40's. If you want to visit South Africa then I recommend Masihambe Afrika as a company to book your tour through.

Simply the best attention to detail with care and consideration for the customer.
Compass Odyssey made our dream of an African adventure come true. Attention to detail, follow up, care and consideration was the best we have ever experienced. Their patience with our very specific requirements was admirable. The accommodation recommendation, destination and guides were matched exactly to our personality and style. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to guide us on our holiday to the magical destination of South Africa and Zimbabwe. Upon reflection, now that we have returned, it was definitely a dream holiday come true. All our wish list fulfilled. Can't recommend Compass Odyssey highly enough.

Great safari with a wealth of animals to see, especially elephants, giraffes and buffalos.
Ruaha National park is a beautiful park, full of scenery and stunning views even without animals. Plenty of baobap trees and other trees and bushes to see.
The weather was good, warm and mainly sunny which is nice on a jeep where you can pop open the roof. Our accommodation was in Bandas. They are stunning and had really nice beds but unfortunately our bathroom first had a broken shower and later on also a broken toilet. This got fixed but the shower never worked well. Despite that we had a good stay and heard lions roaring nearby during the night.
Dinner and breakfast was nearby but we went on an early morning safari before breakfast which was great as we saw a python.
Our guide was fab, very knowledgable and he showed us a lot of stuff, picked up baobap fruit, elephant poo etc and explained everything so well.
A great safari with lots of animals to see.

Amazing
We stayed for 3 nights in skukuza and took many morning ,sunset and night drives as well as an afternoon walk. We saw the big 5 and many more animals and birds , it was really incredible. Most drives we went on were from the skukuza camp. Some guides were great ,some less so , it is often also hard to hear the guide at the back of the jeep. I recommend sitting closer to the driver /guide and if possible going for at least one drive in a smaller vehicle with a more private tour. Besides for one chilly morning the weather was beautiful and very warm. During the morning drives around sunrise it's pretty cold so be prepared. We went in the end October so the bush was pretty dry and allowed us to see animals through the trees into the distance. Overall it was an amazing experience and highly recommended!

Tour description
Ibrahim from Luitours and Safaris has planned an unforgettable trip to Tanzania for us. We had only 4 days to visit Mikumi National Park and Udzungwa mountains but Ibrahim has it perfectly thought out and we got the maximum one can get. We didn't lose a minute and yet we enjoyed a relaxing journey! Communication with the Guide was very easy and punctual, complete and clear answer to every question. We are definitely going to book our next trip to Tanzania again with Luitours and Safaris.

Unforgettable and amazing 3 days safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks
I will keep a very good memory of this safari which went well . The endless plains of Serengeti and the particular site of Ngorongoro park located in a vast crater where I saw all species of gazelles ,buffalos, elephants , giraffes , lions , cheetahs , mongooses , fox , herds of zebras and wildbeest , only 1 rhino(in Ngorongoro), hippos , monkeys , hienas, etc.. many birds , ostrichs, etc . The weather was ideal and hot , no rain, a little colder in Ngorongoro . Hilda was the cook and prepared delicious and tasty meals especialy the soup.. the lunch box was ok too ; Freddy driver and guide has been a carefull driver and gave us a lot of information during all the safari ; both were frendly and helpfull . The campsites of Seronera and Simba were well equipped , only the sanitary of Seronera is to improve . The last day it was surprising to see an elephant and several baboons cross the campsite of Simba.. What an unforgettable safari ...
