Excellent service and trip with Safpol
My friend & I contacted Safpol in July 2017, and they were amazing in accommodating us for our 24 day tour of Southern Africa. During our trip, the people from Safpol were always in contact with us to make sure everything was okay. We had no hiccups during our trip and everything went perfectly as planned. We experienced so many wonderful things, stayed in very nice hotels and got many stamps in our passports! I highly recommend Safpol for your travel plans!

South Africa, Vic Falls, Chobe
My family has dreamed of doing an African safari forever and Compass Odyssey made sure that it was a trip of a lifetime! We started in Capetown at the Tintgel House which was beautiful and the staff so friendly, helpful, and able to recommend what to do when the weather deterred some of our plans. We had Andrew guide us around town, Table Mountain, Boulder's Beach, and Cape Point - he even ensured we got to the best photo spots. We also had some days in town by ourselves and never encountered any problems getting around. Next we went to Tydon Bush Camp at Sabi Sands. The safaris were great, the guide was so informative and knew exactly where and how to find the animals, and the food was amazing! We saw all of the Big 5 (and more!) in 3 days. Next we traveled to Zambia and Zimbabwe. There were issues with the visas being sold out, but Darrin made sure we were aware and knew exactly what to do before we even boarded our planes so we had no problems. Our guides, Mortimer and Emmanuel, helped us across the borders, at the falls, and getting needed items (when we realized we forgot a few things). They were so helpful and great! The Falls were breathtaking and we enjoyed being able to spend an extra day to take in extra walks around the area and get to see some more of the local area and not just the tourist spots. Devil's Pool was scary at first but so worth the experience! Next we drove to the Garden Lodge at Chobe River in Botswana. Our room, the staff, and the views right on the river were awesome! We had our own private guide for boat tours and into the park - John was awesome! He was able to point out so much to us - as a local he knew about the area, animals, and plants - and he kept the snacks and refreshments stocked! He even ensured that we were able to catch some wild dogs (rare to see). Overall, Compass Odyssey answered all of the questions we had before traveling, recommended some extra sites and things to do that was great, accommodated every request we had, and tailored the vacation for us. The people and places that Compass Odyssey put us with were amazing and we could not have better African experience. Definitely using again and would recommend!

Efficient and informative
Our family has been talking about visiting Hwange for a couple of years now and we finally found the perfect time to book during the school holidays. We chose Tom's Little Hide, as we were a group with small children. On arrival we were stunned by the reception we received and the amazing accommodation. The kids loved the pool and their own outside shower most of all. The other highlight was Nicholas, our guide for 5 days. So knowledgeable on all wildlife, birds and trees. Amazing memories were made on our drives or just sitting watching the animals coming to drink from our verandah. In short an epic trip made perfect by the delicious meals, brilliant staff and the full cooler box on all the game drives. We will definitely be back!!

Our best vacation yet!
The team at Mega customized our trip based on where we wanted to spend the most time, and took care of all the ancillary details to make our safari as smooth as possible. Ema, our guide was super knowledgeable and made our experience pleasant with his cheerful demeanor. We appreciated the care the team put into our trip. We highly recommend Mega Adventures for any safari trips in TZ.

Great!!
The safari of 4 days/ 3 nights to Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater was great. We've seen a lot of animals. Our guide Apollo was very nice and knew a lot about everything. The cook was great. His food was excellent. After the safari Hamadi (owner) came unexpectedly to our hostel to ask if we'll liked the safari and if we had any complaints, tips etc. etc. We liked that very much. With this he shows that he really cares about his customers and wants them to have a good experience.

On safari.com, I have access to a lot of companies and send e-mail but only this company is willing to help me to arrange safari trip. Travel agent Angelina is very helpful to make a four-day trip for me and according to my budget to arrange the appropriate hotel and time trip.I was her first Chinese reception, she not only prompted and assisted my visa Application for the situation with the yellow fever injection,but also accompanied me four days trip.When the next night I received my boss asked me to rush to Mombasa to deal with business affairs, Angelina immediately arranged and found the next day at noon a small plane fly from Amboseli national park to Mombasa, and accompany me to the local and arrange a return plane to Nairobi! She is a lovely young lady, she is my four days Kenya trip dedicated to arrange a perfect journey for me, if the future from China's free travellers or group of passengers want to visit Kenya to participate in safari tour, I sincerely recommend for them this company! At last I am thousands thank you Angelina and two drivers:Big bro John and Willy! All of them take care to me!

A great experience
We visited Masaimara, Amboseli, Naivasha and Nakuru with Africa Celebrity Tours and Travels this year. We we're a group of twelve. Muli and his team from ACTT made the tour memorable for us. It was well organized, comfortable, with loads of wildlife siting. We truly appreciate the wonderful experience we had with ACTT.
Thank you.

Great trip with Quest Horizon!
We were very happy with Quest safaris, who organised a great trip for us to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire in September, on short notice. Naiman came to meet us at our lodge in Arusha to discuss the details beforehand, and also after to get our feedback - a nice touch. Our guide Rasheed was very knowledgeable and also a great spotter - in 3 days we saw 59 lions! We also saw the rest of the big 5! It was really unbelieveable! We stayed in a tent, budget safari, which was very exciting and plenty comfortable. The cook Pius made great food - my wife is a vegetarian, and I eat meat, but he catered for us both. The Land Cruiser was a bit old, but still comfortable, and actually outdrove the newer models on the steep hills up from Serengeti. Very good value for money on our trip. Serengeti is a must-see, and I can strongly recommend Quest Horizon!!! We hade 3 nights/4 days - and opted to maximize the time in Serengeti. In Ngorongoro and Tarangire half a day is enough, but do try to have a full day in Serengeti.

Best safari you can get in Tanzania!!
Everything was perfect! Abu, the guide, is a living encyclopedia, it's impressive how much he knows about the local fauna and flora. The car and the equipment (tent, sleeping bags) were fine and the food amazing! Everything was perfectly organized and they delivered everything that was promised. And the price is the lowest you'll find, no matter how long you search for. Absolutely recommend it!
