Best Safari Experience in Kenya!
My safari experience with Advantage Travel was by far the best compared to other safaris I have taken previously. The bookings and communications with the tour operator were very smooth and quite informative. Angie was especially helpful and she has excellent customer service. The driver was also very professional and knowledgeable, he made us experience the Mara like we never had before. I would definitely recommend Advantage Travel to any of my friends.

It was amazing!
I have always wanted to go on a safari and Odyssey Safaris provided everything I dreamed about. My favorite place was Masai Mara when we got to stay inside the park. The itinerary of our trip was so clear and all of the hotels were beautiful. I really recommend this trip!

Perfect Budget Safari in Kenya
I just decided to fly to Kenya very soon and I am luck to find Robert to help me this budget tour. I enjoyed the tour a lot and watched many wild animals. The hotels and meals were provided over my expect. Our driver and guide is very nice as well. Remember, this is budget and joined tour. You will meet a lot of interesting persons.

Amazing trip to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru
The four-day trip to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru was stunning. We saw the Big Five as well as most other animals including a few flamingos at the lake. Richard, our guide/driver was extremely knowledgeable and worked his magic in getting around to all the animal sitings in the park and lake. The accommodation was clean and the staff friendly at both the Masai Mara ecocamp and the Nakuru hotel, and the food was good. The trip exceeded my expectations. I would thoroughly recommend this excursion.

Exceeded our expectations
On our most recent trip to Botswana, Walter, our wonderful agent, booked us with Belmond properties in Chobe, Okavango Delta and Khwai River and they exceeded our expectations. The highlight of this trip was definitely getting out of the car and doing a water safari in the Okavango Delta. The sunsets, scenery and wildlife were amazing. As there was so much water in Khwai River, our airstrip was under water, so we had to be helicoptered into the camp, which was an added bonus! Despite there being less wildlife than normal due to the water, we did manage to see a pack of wild dogs, owls, kudu and our guide took us further away where we ended up seeing the elusive leopard. All in all, we have booked a few safaris now with Safari Online and we keep using them as they are always quick to respond and our holidays have been amazing!

Once in a lifetime trip; VERY well planned 5 day safari
We had a friend of ours recommend Charles at Tanganyika for our Tanzania honeymoon adventure. Charles worked hard to make sure everything I wanted to do was incorporated and fit into the budget. So much coordinating must have gone on behind the scenes because everything went very smoothly. Charles has a trained eye for spotting wildlife, and a fun personality to spend 5 days with. He communicated very well, and was extremely professional in every way. Glad to call him a new friend after this trip.
Nature did not disappoint either. Charles is very well connected and can get on the radio to find out the best spots, so we were never far away from something exciting. March in the southern Seregeti seems to be a good time to go to this part of the world with the Great Migration. With newborns beside their mamas, there's some exciting hunts to catch. Unlike Central Serengeti, you can drive off-path to get up close and personal with the wildlife in Southern Serengeti, where the Great Migration is at this time of year.
My only feedback would be to accept some sort of electronic payment (ie PayPal, Venmo, Google Wallet, etc.) instead of needing to wire most of the money ahead of time.
Expensive trip, but a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thanks Charles!

It was an amazing experience in all facets
I found the Africa on Foot camp so wonderful. The staff were fantastic, I liked the fact that we blended into the surroundings (the cabins and layout)without the five star fanfare. And the food was very good without being lavish, satisfying and plenty of it. The size of the groups was also very enjoyable.
I saw four out of five of the big ones, no elephants sadly but I had seen them on my previous trip in their natural habitat.
I did a walking tour which was amazing, I learnt so much. No one else wanted to walk so it was just the guide and myself. We didn’t see any big animals, I had already seen them the previous day, but I learnt a lot about critters, the trees, the patterns of the animals.
I really had a wonderful experience with nothing to criticise.

Amazing experience going through the nort of Kenya
Our crew Godie and James did a great job showing us the beatiful north of Kenya. Our personal highlight was going through Chalbi and Lake Turkana. Also the food was super delicious amazing African meals and fresh fruits every day! We will be back for one of their other trips!

Great Budget Masai Mara Safari
Arrived on a very early flight and was able to start a 3day Masai Mara safari the same day. Airport pickup, was brought to a house nearby to rest for a couple of hours and shower, then driven to the centre of Nairobi to join the other tour members. Communication was excellent prior to my arrival and everything ran smoothly. The safari itself was amazing, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, elephants, cape buffalo, wildebeest, ostriches, hyenas, jackals & many other animals and birds our driver was able to somehow spot and identify. As it was low season I had my own huge tent in our camp for two nights, the food was also excellent & there was plenty of it (buffet-style).
The only downsides were a German couple in our van who stayed at a more upmarket camp far from ours, we spent a bit of time making the bumpy journey over there to pick them up every time, but our driver made up for lost time by staying longer in the park. Also beware that the last 70km or so in the van to get to the camp are on probably the worst road I have ever been on in my life, but for the price of this tour it's worth putting up with.
