Absolutely Amazing!!
We had the best time of our lives! Our guide was very informative, knew a lot about everything. Any question we had for him, he had an answer for. We were a group of 5 and it was the first time for us to be in Africa. Starting with a safari in Tanzania was the best thing we did. Having Mega Adventures as the organiser was great! Our accommodation was great and everything was well organised. All in all, a wonderful experience and something we will not forget!!

Good service and nice guides
I would recommend others to book their journey through Msafiri Travels.
Very sweet employees, everything was taking care of and we were very well informed regarding our hole stay.
We had 3 weeks in Tanzania. We started in dar es salaam and continued to Mikumi for a small safari trip, which was perfect for a small safari trip. Afterwards, Zanzibar where we stayed in Stown Town, Paje and Nungwi.
All the hotels matched our expectations and all the transportation were included.
All in all, a perfect vacation, perfect service and nice guides.

Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Amboseli, Taita Hills, Shimba Hill and Diani Beach
Everything was perfect with our safari, it could not be better, no complaints at all. Daniel in London replied fast, he was very well informed and always up to date, he made excellent suggestions and he organized the whole safari perfect to the last detail. All the lodges and camps, in Tsavo East Epiya Chapeyu, Tsavo West Kilaguni Lodge, Amboseli Old Tukai Lodge, Taita Hills, Salt Lick Lodge and Shimba Hills Lodge and Swahili Beach Resort been as described and expected, friendly people, decent food, clean, comfortable, all fine. Evans, our driver and guide was informative, respectful, a very good driver and a good guide who knew his animals and birds. We had a problem with the car in Amboseli (clutch) and Evans and Transtrek arranged a game drive with the vehicle of the lodge, whilst Evans was repairing the car. Things like this can happen, but it is important to find a good solution, which was the case. Tsavo East was very dry, Tsavo West green, in Amboseli we had showers with very heavy rain, Taita Hills and Shimba Hills very green as well, but we saw a lot of game in all the parks and we really enjoyed every day. The whole safari was a wonderful experience and we will always remember it with great pleasure. Should we plan annother trip to East Africa in future we defenitely will do it with Transtrek Safaris again.

Good.
Sami, the car driver was really good . And Kioko the chief as well. The hotel was not so nice without hot water and only 2 hours of light a Day.

Excellent 25th Anniversary Trip
We really wanted a special and fun vacation that was in the South Africa area. We were not interested in joining a large tour group but also were a bit intimidated by trying to make all the arrangement ourselves. Contacting Compass Odyssey was the best decision we made. Darren was immediately helpful in suggesting itineraries and answering questions. We got to a plan quite quickly and then we just excitedly waited. Out Trip was to Kruger/Senalala and then Cape Town and then 2 places in Botswana (Okavango/RraDinare and finally Chobe/Pangolin Voyager Houseboat). Everything was a highlight and everything was nice in relationship to the other pieces. We would not change anything. We actually had a glitch on our flight getting into Johannesburg and it was so nice to send just 1 email to Darren and have everything taken care of to match our new arrival. Top notch all the way.

The safari was amazing!
Communications were prompt and accurate. The service was incredible and timely. The food was awesome. Literally every single aspect of the safari surpassed my expectations. The guide was knowledgeable and genuinely nice. I would recommend this particular tour, operator, and guide to anyone.

A Trip of a Lifetime
Charles was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable. We were referred to him by a friend who just went on tour with him as their guide. As per them and the other reviews Charles is an excellent tour guide. We did not get to have Charles as a tour guide as he was already booked but our other guide was good too. I would say this company is great because they will go above and beyond to work with you and your budget and give you a lot of personalized attention. I would be able to message at any time and get a personalized response. Also Charles made sure our contact in Zanzibar was great as well! Overall it was a very smooth trip without any logistical issues, and my husband and I can't wait to go back!
I would recommend going with this company as it is a native Tanzanian group so you're support the locals and their economy!
