About Odyssey Safaris

It began with a shared dream between two friends - Mark Cahill, an adventurous American teacher in Kenya, and Eliud, a local safari guide with deep knowledge of the land. They were united by a profound love for the magic and wonder of Africa's vast wildernesses. From their bond was born Odyssey Safaris, channeling their passion into making authentic, unforgettable safari experiences accessible to the world.

While their roots took hold in the fertile soils of Kenya, Odyssey's horizons quickly expanded across Eastern and Southern Africa. An insatiable curiosity drove them to uncover and share the marvels of this vast continent - from the imperious peaks of Kilimanjaro to the teeming plains of the Serengeti, from the haunting desert landscapes of Namibia to the lush savannas of Botswana.

Over the years, as their safari operations flourished, one thing never wavered - a reverence for Africa's natural splendor and the vibrant tapestry of its people and cultures. This ethos became Odyssey's guiding star.

At the core of their success lies an unwavering commitment to personal service rooted in family values. From the moment you inquire until long after your journey, the Odyssey team treats you as more than just a client - you become part of their extended safari clan. It's this spirit that elevates an Odyssey safari into a truly transformative experience of cultural immersion and self-discovery.

While their reach has expanded, Odyssey maintains an intentional approach of crafting a meticulously curated collection of adventures each year. This allows them to devote a detailed focus to creating personalized, imaginative journeys that surpass your wildest expectations. Your safari is custom-designed around your specific hopes and travel styles rather than conforming to an off-the-shelf itinerary.

The Odyssey experience connects you to the essence of Africa's untamed soul in a way that is both spiritually enriching and environmentally sustainable. These are more than just tours - they are carefully guided explorations that forge an unbreakable bond between you and the magic of the wilderness.

Join the Odyssey family to unlock the swirling mysteries and raw beauty of Africa's untamed realms. Let their passionate guides lead your own personal odyssey of discovery, where at every turn awaits another breathtaking vista, another humbling encounter with the land and its inhabitants. This is the Odyssey promise - to ignite an insatiable sense of wonder that will forever awaken how you view yourself and the world around you.
