Great first safari experience
We entirely enjoyed every minute of our 4 days safari experience. Such an arrangement - which also includes travelling from and to Johannesburg (count with good 5 hours per one direction) - will give you enough opportunities to spot nearly all the species you have came for to see. Guided with the experienced empathetic guide - as was Hoppy in our case - you will see a big part of the park and learn a lot of it's ecosystem. Accommodation arranged by the agency was comfortable and food available during safari was more than good. In the camp selected for the accommodation in the park many up to date services - including ATM, wifi & shop - are available.
Again many thanks mainly to Hoppy who provided an excellent service to us.

Queen Elizabeth National Park
Nice tree days trip arround southern Uganda and visiting the Queen Elizabeth National Park. We saw lions, elephans and other animal during the game drive in the park and chimps and other primates in a 4 hours walk through the jungle. Green landscapes of Uganda are amazing. The best experience of the trip was going on a boat around the chanel in the same park (chanel between Lake Georges and Lake Edwards). This chanel is really full of wild life: plenty of hippos , elephants, bufalos and birds. Amazing boat safari. The loadge was nice and staff there was kind. Kind guide too.

Excellent Service
Big Time Safaris was a blast! Lots of fun during their 7-day tour of Lake Nakuru, Hell's Gate NP, Lake Naivasha, Maasai Mara NP and Amboseli NP. Amboseli is a hidden gem with awesome views of Mount Kilimanjaro and seeing an amazing 420 elephants during our first day (we saw an additional 160 on the second morning). 3 with a baby came to eat bushes 20 feet from our van! The service by our driver and the staff in Nairobi was great. The hotels could be better but other than that we saw so many animals, except for Wild Dogs and Leopards.

A Perfect Holiday!
I contacted several agencies to plan a trip to Southern Africa for our group of 4, and Compass Odyssey stood out from the beginning. All the other agencies offered us a ready-made itinerary from their portfolio and tacked on some of the things I had asked for. Kate and Darren, on the other hand, took my plan as the starting point to create an original tour, while suggesting other opportunities to make it even better. This attention to the particular needs of a specific group was apparent from the time we first contacted them up to the very last day of our tour.
Another strong point of Compass Odyssey is their attention to detail. Everything was planned perfectly and they sent us ample information beforehand to aid in our own personal preparations – we had even been able to work out exactly which adaptors we would need and Darren greeted us on arrival with those adaptors ready for use!
In the end, we agreed on a 14-day tour, and for the first 7 days Darren himself acted as our guide+driver. The accommodation selected was just what we had asked for - simple but comfortable. And Darren was always ready and willing to cater for our personal interests and for our leisurely pace, even though it often meant finishing the day well past the scheduled time. We also saw on several occasions that he is more than ready to go the extra mile to make sure his clients get the best treatment wherever he takes them.
Darren definitely "knows his stuff", and it's obvious that he really enjoys sharing his knowledge of southern Africa, its wildlife and its customs. And his enthusiasm is contagious! All in all, the perfect holiday. Thanks, Kate and Darren!

Individual attention and a wonderful experience!
We felt Godfrey, our driver and guide, was a step ahead of the other drivers. We often arrived before anyone else to view lions, cheetahs or elephants. His knowledge was outstanding. Best Day Safari also offer a personal tour; we had the safari to ourselves!

The fabulous team of Amazing Tanzania provided great guides, great accommodation & an amazing safari
We gave Laura a basic brief of what we wanted to see and where we wanted to go on a mid-range budget and she came back to us with an itinerary that ticked all the boxes and more. She even managed to arrange a stay in some luxury accommodation at a mid-range price! We saw a vast array of wildlife, including many predators and kills and many elusive species thanks to our expert guides. We were also lucky enough to see the wildebeest crossing at the Mara River in Northern Serengeti. The owners of Amazing Tanzania; Laura and Colin caught up with us during our stay in Tanzania and made us feel like old friends. Throughout our stay we had 3 Tanzanian guides Paul, Josepha and Apollo; they were each knowledgeable, informative, friendly and were all passionate about wildlife. We spent the first section of our trip with Paul and it was like saying goodbye to family when we had to leave. We loved every lodge and camp site we stayed at (Laura's expert choices), each one was very comfortable and had a wonderful ambiance with great views and close proximity to wildlife. When we return to Tanzania we will only travel with 'Amazing Tanzania', we can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you for a fabulous holiday of a life time :)

Excellent and pleasant day-trips to Lake Naivaisha and Nairobi national park
Me and and friend asked Wecam to arrange a weekend-safari around Nairobi. The first day we went to Lake Naivasha visiting Hell's gate national park and taking a boat trip on the lake. The second day was only a half-day due to an afternoon flight back to Sweden, and was spent in Nairobi National park. Communication with regard to both booking, setting the time and place for pick-up etc. was both efficient and quick. We were picked up on the time decided and dropped off at the hotel/airport as scheduled. The service during the tour was very good. Both of our lunches were both good and socially rewarding. I especially want to give thanks to our driver and Judy for such a nice company during our two days together. The driver's driving skills as well as his knowledge about wildlife was impressive. I have already started to think about my next visit to Kenya and my dream to visit Tsavo, and will definitely leave that trip in the hands of Wecam.
