Awesome Vacation Of A Life Time
As stated an awesome well planned, detailed out vacation for 5 countries visited. Guides very knowledgeable helpful, and fun too. Felt very safe and in good hands. Darren is a wonderful tour guide, full of great stories about Cape Town, along with continually checking on our group while we were in other counties. Highly recommend Compass Odyssey for a great travel experience.

Great Experience on 3D2N Safari in Maasai Mara
Prior to booking with African McFlash, I had contacted several other agents but none were as attentive and clear in their explanations as Peter from African McFlash. It is no wonder why they managed to secure my booking within a few hours of my initial enquiry. Peter arranged everything and set up my tour very efficiently, thank you for your time and help.
On the tour, I was lucky to have great tourmates, and 2 most entertaining drivers, Richard and Dennis. They were attentive and helpful and I couldn't have asked for more.
Will definitely be recommending them more when I am back at home.
Take care guys and Asante! See you soon!

Unforgettable journey with best organisation
Our tour with Speke Uganda was just great. Our guide was perfect, friendly, helpful, polite and helped us to really get in touch with the beauty of the country and with the uniqueness of Uganda and its people itself.
We enjoyed our 10 days trip a lot, got so many impressions, had no problems with anything. Thank you for the great time we had!

Generally, the company service is good, helpful, solved problems in Kenya but no good in Tanzania.
Kenya
1. The driver was a good man, friendly, helpful, met the safari rundown, & solved the sudden big problems.
2. Our safari tour was joyful, and could meet our expectation.
3. The car was not so good, a Toyota van re-constructed, sitting were uncomfortable inside, esp. the first row space in middle was too narrow, couldn't spread our knee towards, too suffering in long distance.
4. The accommodation was quite OK, but the shower pressure & hot water was weak, no good.
Tanzania
1. The driver was puffed up with pride, bad manner, not friendly during his guide way.
shortened the safari tour timing and early returned back.
2. The packed lunch were served much, out of our expectation.
3. The scene and animals viewing was good, met our expectation.
4. Two times of accommodation were changed, not matched to the itinerary.
5. The tent living place was no good, the inside grounding was uneven & rough, ease hurt the feet, and the tent bound was not well protected, and much frightened the safety.

Daigle tours is recommendable
I had a three day tour with Daigle Tours to Mikumi and Udzungwa national parks in January 2017, and I enjoyed the tour very much. From the beginning, Samwel of Daigle Tours always responded to my inquiry email promptly, and my tour guide Kapande (don't mind if incorrect spelling) took good care of me. Thank you Daigle Tours

Awesome in every way!
After doing some research on the internet we were eventually referred to and contacted Safari specialist. That same day I received an email back from one of their travel planners Joanne offering her assistance in booking our vacation to Africa. We provided Joanne with some basic information about who we were and what we were interested in doing on this trip along with an estimated budget. Joanne's response was amazing her knowledge and suggestions regarding our trip were invaluable. She always promptly responded to any of our questions and concerns. We even contacted her by skype to discuss our trip. I can't say enough about how beneficial she was towards making our trip one of the best experiences ever. Upon our return my wife and I definitely agreed that Joanne's advice and guidance had us fully prepared for all aspects of the trip. All of her bookings for lodging, activities and flights were exceptional and proceeded without any issues. My only concern during this whole process was sending the money by wire transfer to avoid credit card fees but that as well took place without incident. I would highly recommend Joanne and Safari specialist to assist in planning your trip no matter what your budget or itinerary consist of they will provide excellent service.

Trip of a lifetime dream come true
From my first contact with Vanessa in reservations until we were dropped off at the airport this company was excellent. Vanessa was ever so patient answering my 10000+ questions, she offered choices of parks/accommodation and then suggestions when we went over each of the tented camps/lodges that I chose.
We did a 25 day road trip safari thru Kenya and Tanzania. We had 2 guides, one for each country. I cannot say enough about them. They were professional, knowledgeable, patient and truly interested in us. Their knowledge of the animals made a cheetah kill possible, lions and leopards in trees, lions mating, river crossings, the Big 5 several times, birds, repitiles etc etc. Just when we thought we had seen it all, they would find something else to amaze us. My husband became ill and we thought we would have to come home early. The guide contacted the office who suggested changing from our tented camp to a hotel closer to a hospital in case he needed to see a doctor. We did, at no charge to us. The company absorbed the cost of the hotel. They saved our trip. Every pickup when as planned, all the accommodation was exactly as planned and expected. There were no unpleasant surprises. My husband was not excited about this trip, he went for me. But he would go back in a minute, and we would book with Spirit of Kenya again.
