Wonderful experience
This was the second safari for my wife and me and we were so happy we went with Safari Update Travels. Not only are the camps family friendly, they are also Eco-friendly and give back to communities in which they are located. We were so taken care of from the start of the booking process until we were dropped off at the Nairobi airport at the end of our journey. We had a fantastic safari experience from safari guides, so many animals, good food and comfortable accommodation. We are recommending Safari Update Travels to anyone and everyone who asks!

Fabulous trip
I and my family went on 3 tours, to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and to Masai Mara. The first had the most amazing heard of Elephants, as well as spectacular view of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Plenty of animals at Lake Nakuru... lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffe, buffalo. In masai mara the wildlife was fantastic, wildebeest,topis,gazelles for starters. We saw lions kills, at play and asleep. The trip was far more than we expected. I would definitely recommend Safari Update Travels as for anyone looking the best tour company

Excellent driver and Bamboo Ecotours is very easy to communicate with throughout the trip.
I did the 6-day trip with Kibale chimphabituation, Gorilla trekking and Queen Elisabeth NP. Very good value for the money.

Fantastic service: professional; helpful; value for money; fun!
This was our second trip to the Masai Mara with Madhuka Tours and yet again, it was truly brilliant! William makes the booking and organising of such a trip very easy and he understood exactly what our family was looking for and communicated with us within an hour of messaging him each time. Our driver and guide Hudson was truly fantastic. He was punctual, helpful, a very safe driver and made the joinery to the Mara part of the experience with his local knowledge. Once in the Masai Mara, Hudson’s incredible knowledge of the area and animals allowed us to have THE most incredible few days. He is so wonderfully friendly and fun and knows all of the local guides! We saw over 30 lions (including Cubs!); 7 cheetah; leopards; elephants; hyenas; hippos and so many plain animals too. Our children had the best time as Hudson made the game drives so much fun and educational for them. Our accommodation was great and exactly what we’d requested from William- within the park; delicious food; very helpful staff and a pool for our children. I cannot recommend Madhuka Tours more highly and can’t wait to use them again for our next trip.

Excellent quality service
Must recommend tour agency, I visited Uganda this year and went on a trip with bright safaris Uganda but it was really wonderful after meeting most friendly people and lots of animals, their staffs are very professional and knowledgeable.
I wish to come again to Uganda in future
Super Safari!
We traveled with a group of four to a safari in Kenya. We did a lot of research and contacted Seven by Far to book our trip. Sylvester at Seven by Far handled all of our flights and bookings. Our itinerary was very full with 4 parks and air transportation between them. The lodging suggested and booked by Sylvester was outstanding. The flights and transportation to them went flawlessly. Our guides at each park were skilled, knowledgeable and very enthusiastic. The guides were more like friends than guides. Sylvester even handled the appointment for our Covid tests to fly home. There were no surprises - except some extras that our tent camps threw in. I would highly recommend Sylvester and Seven by Far.
(And yes we saw the “Big 5” and much more!)

Compass Odyssey exceeded all of my expectations
To start, with the complexities of traveling from the USA due to Covid, and correspondingly, with firming up plans, I found Darren and Kate at Compass to be the most patient, informative, and accommodating. They answered every single question I had ( probably more than once) and remained extremely patient. I new almost out of the gate that I was going with Compass Odyssey as out of all of the many operators I connected with they were THE most responsive and informative. I trusted them out of the gate and they lived up to my expectations.
The trip was amazing. Again, due to COVID, and the constant need for PCR tests, I was a little nervous. No need, Darren and team had this completely arranged for me, everything always went smoothly crossing borders and having the required testing completed.
Compass's travel partners and lodges were the best. Truly top notch service and experience. My mind was blown all along the way. Again, all of my expectations were exceeded. Mortimer my guide in Zimbabwe was fantastic and went above and beyond to make me feel safe and cared for as I was traveling by myself.
This was a trip of a lifetime, or so I thought...as I am going back. I will most definitely be using Compass Odyssey again!
