I got my money's worth on day one and the trip just kept getting better.
5/5

I booked my trip through groupon and it was a fantastic deal. The accommodations were amazing, the food was great, Kenya was a gift, our guide (Francis) was the best and deserves a raise. I can't recommend this tour company and this country/safari enough. It was the rainy season which meant more adventure (be prepared) and fewer tourists.

First class Odyssey Safaris enabled us to see African wildlife in their lovely natural surroundings.
5/5

Fun and different and one from our "bucket list"! Everything about this safari exceeded our expectations. We were very impressed with the expert handling of any concerns both before and during the tour. Each day went very smoothly. The lodges where we stayed were really comfortable and delightfully unique with service that was friendly, welcoming, and professional. We appreciated the good food too! We enjoyed the company of all the people in our group [fifteen, including us]. Our very competent driver/guide Simon went out of his way to give both us and the other couple in our land cruiser a great "safari experience" [We loved the land cruiser!] Simon provided us with expert information about the numerous beautiful animals we saw [ the cheetah was one of our favorites], with plenty of photo opportunities, as well as information about Kenya in general. We learned a lot. He made plenty of "comfort" stops along the way and time to souvenir shop! We thoroughly enjoyed the well-planned optional activities : the Masai village in Amboseli, the boat ride on Lake Naivasha, and the elephant orphanage in Nairobi [where we "adopted" a baby elephant]. This was a great and unforgettable experience. Thank you!

The most outstanding trip we have every had ,as the accomodations, food and Safaris were spectacular
5/5

This was a trip of a lifetime for us, and by choosing Odyssey Safaris we were not disappointed. The accomodations were first rate ,the food
was always delicious and presented well, even the boxed lunches. The Safaris , however were the main thrill. We cannot say enough good things about our driver Simon. Not only was he a very careful driver, but attentive to our needs and was a great source of information.
All of our arrangements were prefectly timed and smoothly made. Odyssey did a wonderful job of making these arrangements so hassle free.
We were treated to some of the most outstanding views of this country and were never disappointed in the wild life we were able to observe in it's natural habitat. We cannot say enough about how welcomed we felt by the Odyssey staff, all of the hotel staff and the peopleof Kenya and Tansania overall. It was a such a memorable trip.

It was amazing!
5/5

I have always wanted to go on a safari and Odyssey Safaris provided everything I dreamed about. My favorite place was Masai Mara when we got to stay inside the park. The itinerary of our trip was so clear and all of the hotels were beautiful. I really recommend this trip!

Best experience ever!
5/5

Odyssey Safaris gets my highest recommendation, especially if you have James (Kiarie) as your driver/guide. Booking was easy, thanks to an efficient staff. Mark responded quickly to all our many questions, and Beatrice (in Kenya) was invaluable in helping prepare for the trip. The safari exceeded our highest expectations. Nothing is better than seeing wild animals in their natural habitat! Our driver/guide Kiarie took excellent care of us, making sure that all our needs were met, and was very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. We appreciated being in a small group of four as it made our experience far better than being in a larger group. The lodges we stayed in were very good, as was the food. We've traveled with tours before and have to say that this was the best of the best. We hope to return to Kenya next year and if we do, we definitely will book with Odyssey and ask for Kiarie! Ten stars all the way around.

The trip of a lifetime - so much more than I expected!
5/5

This trip turned out so well that I can hardly praise it enough! Pre-trip communication was good, and all my questions were answered promptly. The tour itself was wonderful, due in large part to our guide, Charles. Charles was knowledgable, friendly, and endlessly patient, and I highly recommend him. The hotels were comfortable, and the food was good. I hadn't expected to see quite so many animals - I expect Charles knew just where to find them! Some of the things which made it so enjoyable were just luck: we had a very congenial group, and the weather was beautiful. Still, if I go to Africa again, I will choose Odyssey, and will ask for Charles.

Excellent pre-trip customer service, great organization, fabulous guide, great food and accommotatio
5/5

Everything lived up to and exceeded my expectations. Not knowing what to expect, everything was well described to me and all my silly questions answered before leaving. The safari itself was outstanding, well organized. The food and accommodation was great and we were well looked after by friendly, attentive staff. Our guide was phenomenal with tremendous knowledge about everything in the parks. He went out of his way to find all the animals on our wish list and he succeeded. His name is Yahya Juma. We were given every opportunity to take whatever pictures we wanted. This was a great time of year to go and we were lucky enough to see part of the wilde beast migration. I would not hesitate to recommend this safari to anyone interested in Africa - Tanzania particularly. It has so much to offer. Thank you for making my dream of visiting Africa come true and for making it so enjoyable.
