Awesome!
We have just finished a 3 day safari organized by Daniel, but our chauffeur was fantastic Moses!
Murchison Falls will have your mind blown away, descending into the Nile river, which with its crocs and hippos was in full splendour! The game drive through the park gives you the opportunity to view an immense variety of game but our highlight was the leopard!
I would recommend Daniel and his team for a safari at any time of the day!

Don’t look further to arrange your custom African experience of a lifetime.
My experience in Africa has been uniquely special. Travelling as a group of 4, our 12 days had been planned to maximise our perspective of the landscapes, the wildlife, and meeting first class people to guide us. Each transfer at airports from Immigration to small chartered flights was seamless. There were multiple opportunities where without Darren’s attention to detail, it may have been a challenge. Particularly the border crossing at Zimbabwe and Zambia which could have taken hours longer. It’s clear Kate and Darren’s years of experience and knowledge of Africa shine through in every organised detail. Even while “on tour” Darren was in touch with us to check we were on track. He had our back all the way which took my sense of a travel service to a whole new level. Truly amazing attention at Compass Odyssey! Value = priceless!

Unforgettable Honeymoon with the Best Safari Tour Guide in Kenya!
My wife and I had an amazing 7 day tour visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli in Kenya with our tour guide Josh! We worked with Samuel at Tukio Safaris when making the travel arrangements and he was very prompt and professional in answering all of our questions, adjusting to our needs, and providing us guidance. It was our honeymoon, so Tukio went the extra mile ensuring we had an unforgettable time. Josh was an amazing driver and tour guide and we felt very confident with him behind the wheel. It seemed like he knew everybody at all the parks which was great since communication turned out to be key when trying to locate the animals and for support. He would drive us all around the park and then suddenly we found ourselves hanging out with giraffes, elephants, antelope, lions, cheetahs, leopards, and rhinos! We did get stuck once, but Josh and Samuel made our safety and experience their number one priority and truly made the best of a difficult situation. We would highly recommend booking with them and would do so again in the future!

Life-changing experiences
Without a doubt, this was one of the best life experiences ever! Between the almost twice daily safaris, the luxury resorts, the excellent food and service, not to mention the great companionship, one could not hope for more. I kept thinking that the next day could not possibly be as good as the present day, but was always pleasantly surprised. Our skilled guides were excellent in finding animals for viewing and never disappointed. This was true in both Kenya and Tanzania. All the guides were knowledgeable and had great senses of humor.
Susan is a great coordinator in organizing such a large trip, even with the recent floods prior to our visit. Everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. Wonderful experience all around!

Brilliant
Excellent service from first email!
I have been on safari in TZ several times before, but this was by far the best thanks to my Guide Wiliam. He went out of his way to help as much as possible. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient with my many questions about the wildlife in Selous. The chef at the camp was also ace. The food was better than in many fancy restaurants in TZ. I met some wonderful fellow safari goers at the camp. The camp was comfortable and peaceful. Much appreciated after the madness or Dar. Unfortunately, I had a few big problems in Dar and this safari company stretched themselves beyond the call of duty to help. Wiliam helped me so much !!! Cannot thank him enough. I will definitely do another trip with this company.

4 day/3 night Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru Safari
When I first started searching for a short Kenyan safari, I was overwhelmed with the choice of different tour operators seemingly offering very similar products. After contacting a few such companies, East Africa Tours and Safaris really stood out due mainly to the exceptional customer service given to me by Peter. From the outset, it was obvious that he wanted my business much more than the other companies I contacted. He gave me very comprehensive and honest answers to my numerous questions, and made recommendations which helped me to decide on which safari to book.
Peter really went above and beyond the call of duty, keeping in regular contact with me even after I had paid the deposit on the safari, as well as during my trip and upon my return to the UK. He genuinely seemed to display a personal interest in making sure I had a great trip, which indeed I did.
The safari itself was everything I had hoped for. I opted for a budget safari so the accommodation was fairly basic, though perfectly adequate for my needs and still came with en-suite bathroom facilities. The drive from Nairobi to Masai Mara is quite long and on some bumpy roads, but the final destination is well worth the effort as there can be few places on earth which offer the variety of wildlife species to be found in the Masai Mara. The guide was brilliant and we had our own chef who prepared some fantastic meals for us.
There were two optional activities offered; a balloon flight which for me personally was too expensive at USD 420, and a boat trip on Lake Naivasha for USD 20 which I did, and which I thought was a great experience. I was quite glad that I didn't opt to spend an extra night at Naivasha as I saw a lot of the lake during the boat ride. The game drives at Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru were really good, and the Mara was a lot more scenically beautiful than I expected. It is a fairly popular park so expect there to be numerous vehicles surrounding big wildlife sightings, though this didn't really detract from the enjoyment of seeing the animals up close.
Peter also arranged the airport transfers and even contacted me to make sure I had been picked up both ways.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I really feel like I made the right choice in booking this safari.

Superb hardly describes the efficiency and congeniality of Compass Oddesssy
Every aspect of our African safari organised by Compass Oddessy was perfect. At all times we had communication and contact with the staff who were there to assist. The preparation for our holiday was managed expertly an professionally and with a great deal of involvement to ensure that everything was planned right down to the last detail. Accommodation chosen was fantastic, as were the drivers and guides at every stop. Thank you Crusty and team for everything.

Safari club make it happen but also listen to what the customer wants.
We have used Safari Club to arrange the last four safari's we have done. Paul and Ellie take the initial idea from us then put together a bespoke itinerary which then is sent to us. If there are any parts that are not what we are looking for they look at alternatives after finding out from us which part we do not like. Safari Club set out to deliver the dream that you have and come pretty close to exceeding it throughout the trip. The communications and service are always first rate, detailed information is sent out as part of the planning and confirmed after the booking. They also visit and check the camps that they recommend so the first hand knowledge they have enables them to deliver the best results. The safari we have just done to South Africa involved seven different locations around the country using both air and road transport all of which were well planned and executed.
