Excelent tour but we have some problems at the beginning with the car
The tour is amazing, you can see zebras, elephants, lions, giraffes near your car.
We had only one issue with the car who was broken on the transfer via Dar es Salaam to Mikumi Park. However, the agency was very operative and found solutions for us - they sent a new car in few minutes at at the end we enjoyed the trip.
The campus (Bastian) is very nice and clean . The guide was very amiable and showed us everything in the park - he drove us even to a place outside the park where we saw different species of snakes.
Overall, a nice and joyful experience.

Trip of a lifetime
I will like to thank you for taking care of us on our first safari trip. I had an amazing experience. This trip has truly exceeded my expectations. The entire trip was well organized. I will like to mention that Erastus was great. He was very professional, always on time and willing to accommodate us. I was impressed on how well he could spot the animals and how knowledgeable he was about them. He also ensured that we saw the big 5 and went in search for the animals we were more interested in seeing. The hotels were very beautiful and in great locations. The hotel staff was very friendly. The only inconvenience we had during our trip was in the hotel Sopa in amboseli. This hotel didnt have wi-fi and the hot showers were controlled therefore we couldn't shower with hot water as we pleased. (The hotel only provide wi-fi in the lobby but it was out of service during our stay.) Otherwise our stay was great. What I liked most about odyssey safari was the quick response when I had questions and the great customer service it provided. I will recommend this company to all my friends and family. Again, thank you very much odyssey safari.

Excellent quality in budget
really need to thank Lucy from Mara Triangle for all her help and efforts for making this kenyan safari a successful trip for us.Right from the discussion stage,she has been prompt in her responses even at late evenings without which we couldnt finalise this trip in less than 3 days.Moreover we realised her efficiency when others in our group were promised somethings by their operators but did not get it like water for all days.She even informed the lodge about my dietery requirements.We had some issues with our return flight but lucy was very supportive in helping arrange a hotel for overnite stay as well as provided with a complimentary drop to the airport including a stop for buying souveniers.She would constantly msg and check with us if everything was fine in the safari even after we made the full payment to her which normally people dont bother.If we were to have another hoilday in kenya,will definitely go with mara triangle if they still have lucy working with them.Even the driver Joseph and the safari van driver James(dont know if he is part of mara triangles) were really good.Also we were not given false promises about surely seeing the migration.At the onset itself,we were informed that mostly we may not see it but can try our luck.Thanks lucy for everything.You really helped us have an excellent safari holiday within our budget without effecting quality.

Excellent private safari
6 of us from the U.S. had a wonderful safari this September. Belen tailored the itinerary and accommodations based on our needs. Our guide Mboniea is great. He took extra efforts to find those Big 5s. The price they offered was the most reasonable.
I suggest considering this company for your safari. We were concerned initially because of little review on this company on TripAdvisor. But everything turned out great.

Good Service with Excellent Driver
We recently went on a 4 day safari with Sunny Safaris. From the initial enquiry to being dropped off at the airport at the end, the service was excellent - prices offered were competitive, and Sunny were willing to adapt the itinerary to suit our requirements.
Our driver Peter was excellent; he was extremely careful on the roads, but got us to and fro parks in good time and was highly informative about the wildlife, flora and fauna. Nothing was too much trouble and his sense of humour was an added bonus.
I would certainly use Sunny again if I were planning another safari in Northern Tanzania, and would certainly ask for Peter - we have been on many tours before over the years, but he is certainly one of the best drivers we have had.

Our Botswana safari with Extraordinary Journeys was a truly wonderful experience.
John Moody planned the perfect safari for our group of 6 (3 couples). We experienced 3 different Botswana camps (3 nights at each), all very beautiful and comfortable. We had great guides, and saw an amazing variety and number of animals. We ended with 2 nights at the River Club in Livingstone to see Victoria Falls. The food and service at each location were excellent. Transportion and transfers all perfectly executed. The trip far exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend a safari with Extraordinary Journeys, and hope to go on another safari with it in the future.

PURE MAGIC--EJ IS THE BEST!
Our trip to Tanzania and Kenya was nothing less than magical. Kim listened closely to our desires (great guides, small tented camps and The Great Migration) and tailored an itinerary for us. We saw The Great Migration (and three river crossings) due to her excellent planning. (Of course, Kim is honest and will tell you that a traveler cannot be guarantied a river crossing–that is just plain luck.) The camps were welcoming and unique (some were rustic and some were luxurious, just as we requested). The camp guides were incredibly knowledgeable. I found working with Kim to be a joy–she is responsive, well informed and fun. She has a true love of Africa, having visited nearly every country. The pre-trip documents were thorough and informative; we were totally prepared. When selecting a safari company, I had not realized that a critical component is the local partners (camps, guides, drivers, etc.). If the local partners are not great, your trip will be disappointing. EJ uses only the best–everyone on the ground was punctual, well equipped, friendly, informative, professional and helpful. I would give EJ more than 5 stars if that was possible. Perhaps, the best recommendation is that I am already working with EJ to plan our next trip.

Excellent service with Ugandan style
We used Mumwe Safaris / Uganda Car Rental Services for six days during September. We travelled through northern Uganda including the Murchison Falls Nation Park and Ziwa Rhino Reserve on a program we had designed.
Our driver Dan was friendly and knowledgeable about Uganda and a great guide and company on safari. He made us feel comfortable and addressed our queries and hick-ups to our program.
The Prado car was well prepared and proved a very cost-effective way to visit areas not on the normal tourist routes.
We would highly recommend the driver Dan and Mumwe Safaris / UCRS.

AWESOME HONEYMOON!
I am so happy we decided to have Extraordinary Journeys help us plan our honeymoon. We were traveling to South Africa and Zimbabwe and I was pretty thorough in what we were looking out of the trip and after a call with Emily, I knew she would put together the perfect package for us. I like to think I am pretty travel savvy and often do all of our bookings myself, but it was so helpful having EJ along side me. They were able to book our safari adventures and International travels; places I probably wouldn't have found. The safari lodges we stayed at were amazing, and everyone we encountered went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed. From our initial conversation, to a welcome home email; the constant contact we've had with EJ has been great. Anytime I had a question, they were readily available with the answers. You can tell they really care about their clients and want you to have the best adventure and our honeymoon was a once in a lifetime trip. We would (and already have) recommend EJ to anyone looking for the ultimate safari experience; and would definitely book through them again. 100%
