Wonderful stuff, Splendid trip
I like the hotel and the stuff worked there.
Such a great time with all the travel agency stuff and my friends.
To sum up, it is a good trip. Will come back to you guys again if I had the chance in the future.
Don't miss out the chance guys.
Paulo and his staff who were friendly, very helpful, knowledgeable, and always smiling!

We went to Lake Natron to see the oldest human footprints in the world - 120,000 years old! They are fossilized on the ground, in a fenced area that you can walk into.
We went to lake Natron and the Serengeti on a trip that Paulo planned for us. We wanted to see the Lake Natron hominid footprints made in the land 120,000 years ago, as well as visit local villages and schools. This area was very interesting and we walked around through a Masai village and interact with the herders, school children and various families for a whole day. The local women have many bracelets and necklaces to sell which were very colourful.
There were lots of pink flamingos in Lake Natron.
In the Serengeti, we saw all the animals on our check list, and lots of wildebeest and lions with fat bellies laying around under trees.

more than What I expected
It all started with Mwanaidi Hassan who helped us make all the arrangements. We were picked up at the airport by Elias (our designated guide). The first day we met Mwanaidi and were presented with a basket of goodies as a gift in celebration of our anniversary.
Elias was very accommodating on our way to Tarangire since we needed to get some last minute supplies (Malaria medication) and on our way to Serengeti, (Phyllis got sick the night before and we had to stop at a Pharmacy.
Our goal was to see the wildlife and record our experiences by taking photos. Elias has eyes of an eagle, he was able to spot cats at a great distance and even in the tall grass. We were able to see the big five, and experience watching the wildebeast cross the Mara river. I am pleased with the memories I came back with. The accommodations were excellent, transportation was in great condition. Elias is a great driver, good spotter of wildlife and well mannered individual, and he would go out of his way to take care of your property and for us to have a good experience. Many times I asked him to stop to take photographs of animals, which we just had photographed, however, I was interested on the angle of the shot. He also, made sure that we had a good spot to watch the animals (in relation to the other vehicles) I would recommend him highly. He made sure that we had a complete experience of the wildlife in Africa. Mwanaidi had a surprise for us at a couple of lodges we stayed in. She had communicated to the management that we were celebrating our anniversary and the lodge staff performed the Hakuna Matata song on our last day of stay.

Amazing experience with knowledgeable and helpful guides
Very friendly team with a lot of knowledge about the area. We're very helpful from taking care of us medically incas anything went wrong and just cheering us up if we were struggling. The food the team cooked was incredible - a three course meal every evening and a lovely packed lunch during the day. They even went the extra mile and baked a cake for someone's birthday! They were more than happy to carry all our belongings and our tents were put up for us on arrival at our next camp. An all round amazing experience which I will never forget - all made better by Chacha and his team!

Natureways offers a lot in terms of amazing guides, food and well set up safaris.
The safari that we went on, the Tamarind Safari really felt like you were in the bush. The guides (Trust, Manu and Norman) added a lot to our safari. The canoes were excellent, and the food was too. Our time with Natureways was pleasurable and more than we expected.
Thank You.

Walking safari, Meru und Kili
Very nice and well organized tours. A total of three parts were booked at Kanuth and we were very satisfied with all the guides and the respective implementation. Punctuality and reliability clearly above the African average. We liked the more experienced mountain guides as well as the super chef. Concerns should be given to the prices of the offers generally that one still gets charged a good portion for drinking on top of payment. That surprised us.
Highlight was clearly the walking safari in the highlands.

Our Safari Experience was All We Hoped for and More
Working with Darren and Kate, the operators of Compass Odyssey was a joy. They were quick to respond to any questions we had regarding our trip and were able to put together an outstanding itinerary, which made for a most memorable trip. I was impressed with the detailed itinerary of our days in Africa sent to us, which was followed by an easy to follow abridged itinerary as our departure date drew near.
From the moment we were met by Darren at the airport on arrival, until we left Africa thirteen days later, out trip went smoothly. The lodgings for the safaris were more than adequate, and we were impressed with both the facilities and the excellent staff. Our safari guides were exceptional, and we were able to see wide life that took our breaths away.
I have already passed on to my friends, who have expressed a desire to visit Africa, Compass Odyssey's name. If I were to book another trip to this wonderful continent, I would choose Compass Odyssey again!
