Thank you Off2Africa
Thank you Mana for organising a brilliant holiday for us and our 4 kids in Durban, South Africa. You were spot on with coming back to us with packages that suited our family which made it so much easier to make a final decision. Your response was timely and which was good for planning purposes.

Tanzania trip including 4 day safari, local village tour and 7 day climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
This is my second African trip arranged by Odyssey Safaris and both trips exceeded my expectations. The safari was a chance to see a wide range of animals in the wild up close. Our guide , Miriki was knowledgeable and found the places to get great camera shots. The local village tour gave us a chance to see the native people as they actually live. The highlight of the local tour was the chance to share a meal of traditional local foods with a village family. And the Kilimanjaro climb was an experience of a lifetime for my son and I. It was a challenging physical and mental test. Our guide, Nelson and his support crew, went above and beyond to insure a successful outcome. It was a terrific bonding experience for my son and I that we will cherish forever. Thank you Odyssey for a 5 star trip.

Well planned, well executed with 5 star service
Dear Odyssey Safari team,
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for everyone’s effort in making our safari trip to Kenya one of the best trips on my list of over 25 years of travel . The planning and execution was spot on. From the moment we cleared customs in Nairobi meeting our guide Simon to our departure 9 days later, it was first class all the way! Leaving the USA and arriving in Kenya can feel a little daunting but my daughter and I felt secure the whole time. Our accommodations were 5 star + and I recommend splurging to stay at the Elephant bedroom camp and the Ashnil Mara camp to view wildlife close up while enjoying excellent concierge service.
Our guide Simon was very good at always double checking our plans each day and offering excellent suggestions to modify our itinerary. His guide skills allowed us to see multiple animals ( The big 5 + ) and explain their habits.
I read multiple reviews on other companies doing this type of safari package and the list is a little overwhelming to choose from but I feel Odyssey Safari was an excellent choice based on what I read and experienced -well done !
I would recommend a minimum of 3 nights per resort to possibly plan a day just to totally relax in the camps and enjoy the amenities. The optional tours of the late afternoon “meet and greet “ elephant orphanage and the giraffe center in Nairobi was a highlight for my daughter.
We had a great time.
Asante Sana,
Ed USA

Phenomenal experience that was above and beyond our expectations.
I contacted the office several times before our trip with questions and for assistance on the Visa application and always found the office staff to be very helpful. When we arrived in Nairobi we were met by our driver and guide for the week, Erastus. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and considerate of our needs and interests. The hotel accommodations and meals were all exceptional, we found everyone we met in Kenya to be friendly. We knew we were going in the rainy season and expected rain but never experienced it until the last day driving to the airport. The game drives always produced great sightings, hundreds of wonderful photographs and new understanding about the various animals, all thanks to our skilled driver.
We would highly recommend both our driver Erastus and Odyssey Safari as a whole. It was the trip of a lifetime.

Amazing adventure!
The entire trip was amazing! Accommodations were excellent, weather was perfect and everything went very smoothly. We visited 3 national parks, saw over 30 species of animals, and made friendships that will last a lifetime.

The best Highlights of Kenya Tour!
Our tour guide was waiting for us at the airport when we arrived, and he never left us until he dropped us off at the airport 10 days later. The luxury tents, food and safaris were all better than I could have imagined. Thank you Odyssey for the trip of a lifetime.

The best experience with knowledgeable guides, beautiful accommodation and reasonable price!
This was by far the best holiday we have ever taken! We were so well looked after with 3 superb guides (different legs of our trip) in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Swaziland that it was an amazing trip! The 5 safaris we went on were top-notch and the accommodation and food was second to none. All the experiences were things we had not seen in other parts of the world and were very well explained by our guides. Odyssey Safaris organized a wonderful trip for us, with every small detail taken care of and by employing our extremely competent guides in Africa it was an extremely pleasurable trip for us. The cost was very reasonable too. I would recommend to anyone and everyone to use Odyssey Safaris for your holiday to Africa!

Beyond Spectacular!
Our safari experience was AMAZING!! Odyssey Safari did an outstanding job communicating prior to our safari with what to expect, pack and travel itinerary. Our guide Simon was an absolute pleasure, and accommodating. He was extremely knowledgeable and happily communicated this knowledge and answers to our parties many wildlife and cultural questions. Through Simon's efforts we were able to view successfully the Big 5.
We can't wait to come back in the near future with our young adult age children.

Incredible experience with fun, knowledgable Guide
Odyssey Safaris was super great to work with. They helped us set up our entire experience seamlessly (more or less, of course!) and even assisted us above and beyond our purchased tour so we could make personalized adjustments to enjoy our time. Erastus, our guide, was courteous, super knowledgeable and always looking to give us the best experience possible. I am so lucky that we got to enjoy this!

Excellent staff, vehicles, accommodations and food made this vacation an experience of a lifetime
We had booked a safari with a competitor of Odyssey Safaris and to our dismay it was cancelled a week before we were to leave. We contacted Odyssey and were able on short notice to make arrangements to join one of their tours. Best move we could have made. In addition to the tour we wanted to spend a few days in London on our way back to Canada. No problem, arrangements were made by Odyssey staff and the flights, including stopovers, went as planned. The tour itself was excellent: the guide was very knowledgeable and very open to the wishes of the group, accommodations and food were excellent and the vehicle was very clean and trouble-free. We also signed on for an excursion offered by Odyssey Safaris involving an early morning hot air balloon ride and champagne breakfast - wow, was that fun! I travel a lot and this is the first trip review I have ever completed. I highly recommend Odyssey Safaris to my friends, and to anyone else who would listen.
