Friendly staff makes really amazing safaris
The safari tour was very exciting and interesting. I had not even expected that it would be so awesome. I have seen almost all of the big animals of Tanzania in their wild life from very short distance. The accommodation was good, the food delicious. The personal is friendly, knows English well and do their best. The only thing that should be improved is communication on the way to prepare for safari. Sometimes it was difficult to understand each other.

Awesome experience with AfriShare
We have just come back from our 3-day safari trip to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, which was perfectly organized by AfriShare. Many thanks to Ibrahim, who responded to our e-mails very quickly and spent much time organizing everything. We had a very good driver and guide at the same time - Freddy, who was very friendly and did his job very well. The car was safe and comfortable and tented camp we were sleeping in, was really nice! The service was perfect as well. The parks we have visited are awesome! We have seen a lot of animals, birds, trees! It is really worth of money, and AfriShare provide a real value for money.

Still awaiting a refund of costs we incurred
Please do not book with Golden Travel.
We booked with them in 2015 and found hotels had not been paid or were only part paid.
We ended up paying an additional $6,500 having already paid in full for the holiday.
Despite reassurances 14 months later we are still waiting for Golden Travel to reimburse.
Do NOT use this Company

Amboseli 3days/2nights safari
I was lucky enough to get in touch with Lydia from BosoDabreo Tour & Safaris who organised a safari tour to Amboseli for me. From the very beginning, Lydia was very helpful and ready to provide all the necessary information just instantly. She organized a 3days/2nights safari to Amboseli for a very fair price. I was staying in Kimana camp with a spectacular view of Mt. Kilimanjaro, perfect cook and what is most important, great driver/guide, who really turn the safari into an unforgettable experience. Thank you BosoDabreo Tour & Safaris!!

Cape Town, Kruger, Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park Adventure
The organization, coordination, management and planning of our south African adventure was exceptional. We had 4 days in Cape Town, 3 days in Kruger at the Senalala Luxury Safari Camp, 3 days at Victoria Falls at the Batonka Guest Lodge and 2 days at the Garden Lodge in Kasane, Botswana. We saw the big five plus within two days. The wildlife, scenery and people were fabulous. Virtually unforgettable experience. All accommodations and meals were outstanding.
In Cape Town Darren showed us around the city, the Cape and the vineyards, absolutely beautiful and stunning.
This was a dream vacation come true. (bucket list item)
Would highly recommend Compass Odyssey to organize and plan African tours. Definitely a five star experience.
Many thanks to Darren and Kate.

Gorilla trekking professionals.
I would like to thank gorilla tour booking for organizing my 3-day gorilla trekking trip. My trip was exceptional and I’m ready thinking of a revisit. My driver Mr.Kasim was knowledgeable, and had safe driving practices. I could ask for more.

very good experience 3 days Masai Mara
We ( 3 pax) booked a 3 days Safari to Masai Mara from Kisumu. Organisation was flawless with very quick responses to inquieries and in finding solutions. Everything went smoothly and was well organized. The driver/tourguide Lukas was an excellent driver and we never felt insecure even in crowded traffic. In the park he had an excellent knowledge of wildlife. He was also very interested in showing us as much as possible. The safari vehicle provided was the only thing which was not to our full satisfaction. For the safari it was fine, as it was an old but very robust 4WD bus with a push up roof and a very hard suspension. Which was the big disadvantage for the 6.5 hours road trip to and from the park. It would be wise to consider providing a better transport - including one with a fuctioning air condition - for the long distance drive and swich to the safari van only for its purpose. In total we had a nice experience, saw a lot of animals - of course the agency cannot be credited for that - but it must be credited for the very good organisation and the selection of the excellent driver-guide.

Fantastic tour (and engagement!)
We had a fantastic 4 day trip (Tsavo East, West, Amboseli). Daniel was an excellent guide and driver - very helpful and went out of his way to find the best wildlife, driving back into a park after we'd left on the rumour of a lion! He even helped my (now) fiance secretly plan our engagement - giving advice on the best hotel and where to buy champagne!
Very nice hotels - even better than we anticipated - and the van was kept in pristine condition.

Great Safari company
We just did 7nights safari with Friends of Africa family Safari. It was exceptional. From the planning stage with Brian in the main office to our 8 days spent with our guide and driver Henry, our experience with Friends of Africa family Safari could not have been better. From the moment we exited the Arusha airport where our driver to Arusha coffee Lodge for Lunch, every detail of our trip was attended too. The hotels and tented camps where we stayed were amazing, the food at all the accommodations was good and all transportation connections were flawless. Henry, our safari vehicle driver and guide, was outstanding. He is a great driver and very knowledgeable about Tanzania and all the wildlife that we saw on our safari. I highly recommend this company for your Tanzanian safari!

Very pleasant and easy-going Trip
I went on a tour around the Fort Portal and Queen Elizabeth area, including chimp trekking in Kibale and a short gamedrive. The whole experience was very pleasant and our guides were happy to adjust the itinery according to our needs (stop at the Equator anyone?). Overall, I can definitely recommend Yala for first-timers and seasoned Safari goers alike!
