The best experience ever
5/5

My Safari trip were one of the bests experiences in my life. It was everything good since before my arrival. My guide Nickson was the best one, very talkative, friendly and easygoing. The environment and animals in Africa are awesome, difficult to express in words. I love the trip and i strongly recommend for everyone. Na Penda Africa.

Twaha is the best guide ever!
5/5

It was a great experience doing this trip with Twaha, he is a good driver and you feel comfortable in his company. I could ask him any question and he answered me with details and patients. He knows so much about the animals and including birds. He also got me a book to look up the birds again to revise them.

Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater& Serengeti honeymoon safari.
5/5

Brenda and her team were so great about everything from start to finish. The itinerary that was made was perfect, and hit all of the things that we wanted to see. Once we arrived we had Leslie and Steve as guides, and they were so great! They took into consideration our favorite animals, and what we wanted to see to try and get us to the spots with the best chance of making it happen. You can't control nature, but we got very lucky with being able to see 2 rhinos, 2 leopards, and a river crossing! Can't forget about the pride of 24 lions! The accommodations were great also! You were really in with nature but it made it all seem so much more real. The jeep was comfortable, food was good, and was very happy there was so much water. Overall it was a trip of a lifetime and we were lucky that we got to do it for our honeymoon! Thank you so much Brenda and team!

5/5

Clear communications. To the point. Extremely well curated. Safely planned. Great reccomendation made by the team. To sum up, couldn't ask for better.

Our guide Gidion, was simply awesome. He made all the difference.he knew the nooks and corners of Masai,Lake Naivasha Mt Kenya(our itinerary) and probably so much more. If u do get him as your guide, consider yourself lucky.

This has by far been my best holiday experience ever. Africa is simply marvellous..Amazing hospitality by all the hotel staff.

We couldn't ask for better.

Kathi Simon went above & beyond creating our amazing trip! We've already referred her to friends!
5/5

Working with Kathi Simon was a fantastic experience. She was prompt, attentive and thorough. Her knowledge and familiarity with South Africa were a huge benefit to us. We had some amazing lodging, and she provided a great array of sightseeing ideas. We absolutely loved the App she sent us just before leaving Canada. We used it several times a day while on the trip, either for local information, flight times, or mapping, etc. It was greatly appreciated. She even checked in on us mid way, to see if we were having fun! We've told everyone we know that if they're ever considering a trip to South Africa to be sure to contact her. We will indeed return ourselves. We loved every minute of it! Thanks very much! Scott and Lisa

A joy!
5/5

Kumbukumb tours was amazing! What a life changing trip (and not only because my husband proposed to me there)! Obed Temba Tuyumvire was a fun, kind, knowledgeable guide. We learned so much about local customs, traditions, and had in depth explanations of each activity. We highly recommend Kumbukumbu and Obed!

Amazing 5-Day Budget Safari in Kenya
5/5

The company was very fast in responding to my emails. They were prompt in picking me up from the airport on the day of arrival and dropping me off at my accommodations for the night. The next morning, they were on time in picking me up for the start of my 5-Day Safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha/Hell's Gate Park.

The safari itself was the most incredible experience I have ever had. You really see the beauty of the country, its wildlife, and its people. It is a budget safari, so do not expect luxurious accommodations unless you're willing to pay extra for them. In Masai Mara, I stayed at an eco camp that had the basics, but at the lakes, we stayed in very nice hotels. I traveled solo and joined a group that consisted of 5 other people the whole time, with people rotating in and out depending on their own itineraries. My driver for 4 days, Patrick, was great. He was very helpful and knew everything about everything in our destinations and was very good at spotting animals that were hiding. We saw ALL of the big 5, including a rare sighting of a lioness in Lake Nakuru.

I would 100% recommend Okoa Africa Tours and would use them again myself for my next safari adventure in East Africa. Feel free to contact me for further details!

Amazing trip and even better service!
5/5

First of all before even getting to South Africa, the communication between Darren and I was Awesome. He was prompt in answering any questions that I had and customized my itinerary to fit everything that I was interested in doing. My local tour guides Dot and Tim were so knowledgeable about every place that we toured. They were flexible in what I wanted to do and were the nicest people. They were personable and we got to know each other during my 5 day tour of Cape Town. Overall this was trip was one to top! And I highly recommend Compass Odyssey for your next Safari and trip to South Africa.
