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.

My experience with Odyssey Safari surpassed my expectations this was evidenced by good communication, great accommodations, attractions and most importantly the cost. Great job Odyssey!

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.

Awesome first time Safari
5/5

I have always dreamed of taking a safari and had decided that I wanted to go for my 50th birthday. What an awesome experience. It was the experience of a lifetime. Our Guide, Erustus, was amazing. He made the trip unforgettable. I would recommend Odyssey for your next trip. This was our first time out of the USA. I can't say that the week was uneventful - we had heavy rains and the windshield wipers would not work, flat tires, had to take a detour on the way back to Nairobi due to a wreck, took a few shortcuts along the way. Honestly it was these extra events that MADE the week memorable. Go with the flow and enjoy the week. t will be the best thing you ever did.

Everyone was great. Lucy was good for helping us prepare. Mark took care if our hiccup quickly and smoothly. Simon was the best tour guide. The safari itself was unbelievable and the accommodations above expectations.

Our Odyssey Safari went way beyond meeting our expectations for an amazing experience.
5/5

Everything truly ran like clockwork from first meeting our very knowledgeable and amiable guide, Mytaio (spelling?) upon landing in Kilimanjaro to our return flight to the US. We chose both lodge and tent accommodations and were never disappointed with the rooms, service or meals. Every location offered very pleasant surroundings and several can only be described as breathtaking. After a long day on safari, we especially enjoyed the swimming pools at a few of the lodges. We are very impressed with how Mark and his staff carefully organized our fairly complicated safari itinerary. Their efforts were especially appreciated as our safari was a much anticipated 30th wedding anniversary celebration.
