A Wonder-Full Experience - Best deal for your buck.
I was on safari with Compass Safari in Tanzania this past June. This is, without a doubt, the best tourist experience I have ever had. Mosha, our very experienced driver and guide, knows every nook and cranny where animals are and we saw a lot of them. We even found ourselves sharing the road with a herd of elephants at some point. Owner Pete and Mosha are very kind, polite and professional. Compass Safari is a GREAT safari company and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect safari experience. I am planning another safari with them this coming year.

Another amazing experience designed by Roho Ya Chui
This was our second flawless vacation designed by Roho Ya Chui. Ute always goes above and beyond to make sure the trip exceeds all expectations. The first trip we didn't know what to expect but for this vacation our expectations were very high and even then they were exceeded. Every transfer, every detail, every celebration was carefully mapped out and implemented. Wow, what a great time. AndBeyond was our safari provider and they were also 200%. Ute did a great job mixing the accommodations so we experienced all types of lodging. Although they were all different they were also all fantastic. Luxury Pure. So many fantastic memories. We will for sure use Ute at Roho Ya Chui and AndBeyond again and again. We can't wait to see where the next trip takes us.

an unforgettable experience
As mentioned earlier, the organization of the entire trip, from the hotel to Arusha to the departure for the Kilimanjaro park all prepared very well.
The three very professional guides were always mindful of our needs. The meals, from breakfast to dinner, were well-prepared and abundant. The rooms are decent and clean as well as the amenities.
Six of us went up, unfortunately four suffered mountain malady, having to give up the top. They were promptly accompanied by the always watchful guides. Two reached the top with little effort.

This new safari company goes above and beyond to give you a unique and incredible experience!
This safari company exceeded all of my expectations. Brian and Chris were amazing guides going way beyond what was in the itinerary to show me local villages, peoples and unique landscapes in addition to showing me all the amazing wildlife found in QE National Park. Chris was a very knowledgeable guide and while I myself am a biologist, learned a lot from him about local wildlife and plants. Beyond that, Brian and Chris took great care of me even going so far as to take most of my pictures for me so that I was free to just focus on the experience! The driving was excellent, the food great and the accommodation superb. I would fully recommend this safari company as they are wonderful guides that will give you a really unique experience for a great price. Thanks to both Brian and Chris!

All promises have been kept.
We booked by e-mail. we have been made a very detailed and absolutely the most economical proposal among all those we had found. We were fearful that things were not going well. They kept all their promises, we saw wonderful things and spent much less than others known during Safari. Compliments.

Great experience of Southern Africa.
Never having visited Africa before, we went for the organized tour option. We are very glad we did!
We felt very well taken care of, being picked up on time every day and at every spot. Everyone were really friendly and helpful without overdoing it -just the way we like it!
Our tour included all sights around Capetown, Senalala luxury safari camp, Victoria falls, Garden lodge in Chobe and Rra Dinare in Okawango Delta.
We loved going on the safaris, really a great experience all the way. Especially at Senalala and Rra Dinare, which felt a bit more in the wilderness and with less crowds of tourists than Chobe to be honest.
I would recommend anyone visiting Southern Africa to use Compass Odyssey to organize their trip. We had a wonderful experience all the way but we'd suggest that you bring some seasick-pills for the flight into Okawango Delta. Especially if you fly in from Chobe, that was one long, humpy trip!

scam
ATTENTION SCAM!!!
HE DID NOT RETURN US 250$,
We ( me and my wife) booked with Edward Wilson a package safari ( 4 days in Serengeti Ngongoro Lake Manyara 640$ each) +Kilimanjaro ( 2 days 250$ each).
After the end of Safari Edward delayed our Kilimanjaro trekking of one day without asking it in advance to us. For us it was not possible to start the trekking with one day of delay as we had already bought the flight to Zanzibar.
At this point we tried to speak with him, call him and text and we finally met him (one day after the end of our Safari). He refunded us 250$ on that day telling us that he was going to return the remaining 250$ the week after.
We then tried to contact him plenty of times called texted him but no reply was received and his phone was off.
NO RETURN OF 250$ WAS GIVEN!!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY

Amazing experience in Masai Mara- Kenya
The tour was well planned and guided. The knowledge of Richard who took us for the 4 days was really commendable . We didn't even realize that we travelled over 1000 kms in 4 days covering Masai Mara, Lake Nivasha and Lake Nakuru. May be some improvement can be done at Lenchada camp with regards to the food. Otherwise no complaints at all. Well organized trip. Before as well as during the trip, the response from Mr Lennox was super fast.
