World Class Trip with very nice Guide
Our two week journey through Uganda started in Kisono, at the boarder to Ruanda, when we met our Guide Theo.
It was a rainy afternoon and the streets had been in very bad conditions. Until this time we thought: why not drive a car yourself - Theo drove very carefully with a car that we did not envy him.
One day we drove through a small village and we asked Theo to visit the local school - he talked to the headmaster and we were able to visit the young schoolboys and girls.
We had big fun and success and saw the big five because Theo found them with bis nose.
At the end of our unforgettable adventure trip we visited a show in Kampala.
Before leaving back home we had lunch at the shore and enjoyed a great Lake Voctoria bass.
best overnight location: Buffalo Safari Resort at Queen Elizabeth NP
place you must visit: Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary - hopefully we can come back again
we really enjoyed our trip with Theo we can recommend it without hesitation.

An amazing adventure where each day brought a new and exciting experience.
Our tour exceeded my wildest expectations in every way. I went for the animals and got them in abundance! But it was so much more, the cultural experiences were fascinating, I learnt so much. The accommodation was beautiful, each place with its own unique character, and wonderful catering everywhere we went. Our trip wouldn't have been the same without our wonderful guide, Dumi. He was such a lovely person, was on top of everything and nothing fazed him or was too much for him. He was very knowledgeable and was also happy to share personal stories which gave us more insight to African life. Overall, a wonderful holiday thats just whet my appetite to see more of Africa.

Private tour Botswana, Vic Falls, South Africa, Kenya
Starting with Royal tree which was a Private booking. Accommodation excellent and here one gets a close look at many herbivores on foot or horseback. Tuskers was good but really just Elephants and no match with Chobe but a handy stop off on the way to the Delta. One night would do. The drive from Tuskers to the Delta was a surprise because while the road is terrible it becomes a game and the game on some lakes and waterways we came onto was wonderful. Okavango not to be missed especially for the birdwatching experience.
Chobe River a highlight. The smaller boat was ideal. Noticed can do land game drives here which would be good as well.
Masai Mara was the best Park experience. Would recommend starting here because one gets to tick off so much wildlife including Lions and Cheethas. Previously we had only seen Lions at Sabi Sand and that was a fluke. Masai Mari plus Samburu is a good combination. Good road to Samburu but terrible to Masai Mari although a new sealed road well advanced. While the driving was tough c/f light aircraft, one only gets to absorb the culture by road. Flamingos on Bogoria not to be missed but one needs to stay there and drive also to the hot springs which are a non-event but to get a better look at Flamingos on the rest of the lake.. Nothing wrong with the Spa Resort. Lovely staff and good accom but terrible food. Due to breakdown and delay stayed 2 nights was perfect. Did a drive to Lake Baringo but Kenya has much more exciting stuff to see. Checked out a boat ride but were surrounded by 20 aggressive locals with boats and the smell of alcohol so our driver got away quickly. Maybe better at the hotels. The Game Drive around Lake Nakuru was a surprise and excellent.
All guides were uncompromising in ensuring we had the best experience. The breakdown in Kenya would be avoidable if they serviced their vehicles. However the company redeemed themselves in sorting it out. Need to make sure windows work, grab handles replaced as well. Otherwise vehicles maliciously cleaned except the Nairobi pickup.
All tourist staff excellent - casual friendly but efficient. (Johannesburg Airport being a clear exception). All accommodation above expectations - even the necessarily rougher camps. Food good but exceptional a Masai Mara.

Our South Africa vacation was an A+ experience.
All went smoothly from our first contact with Darren. He always responded promptly and was very thorough in the information provided. All our drivers and guides were excellent. They met us as expected and were very professional and knowledgeable. Darren kept in touch with us via email throughout to ensure that all was going well.
I would highly recommend using Compass Odyssey.

It was really cool. Thank you!
It was very interesting experience. After it I don't have reasons to go to the zoo, because it is possible to see so many animals in freedom. Thank you, Joseph
