“As a self-admitted travel nut, to say that this is the best trip I have ever taken (in 60+ some years) still seems like an understatement. The quality of all arrangements and accommodations, the caliber of the staff and guides, the printed materials and informative emails, and general responsiveness of all Odyssey personnel (they aim to please, and do it brilliantly!) surpassed even our greatest expectations. As if seeing the animals up close and personal in the African savanna were not life affirming and life altering enough, the good fellowship of our tour group and the daily helpfulness of the Odyssey folks made this a dream-come-true of a vacation!”

“Odyssey Safaris did an AMAZING job of making our trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience! We couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Every part was remarkable, including the itinerary, accommodations, guides, and game drives. Our guide, Erastus, was so knowledgeable, fun, and flexible, and he took each of our individual needs into consideration to make the experience the best ever! We’ll definitely be returning to Kenya with Odyssey Safaris in the near future!”

“The only advice I can give is for anyone considering this trip, is to book the trip sooner than later...Everyone I traveled with continually asked, "How can they top this?" But each day was a bigger adventure than the day before...I would say this is a trip of a lifetime, if I were not already planning my return...thank you to the staff and especially the safari guides for making this a most memorable trip!”

“My wife and I used Odyssey Safari for our African honeymoon, and I wish I could give more than a 5 star review! From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and the service was flawless. We felt like celebrities from the way we were treated. The staff at Odyssey booked everything for us, including all of our flights (direct flight from NYC to Nairobi), and ensured that we had nothing to worry about. We truly had nothing to worry about in Odyssey's hands, and we had the absolutely best two weeks of our lives. We love Odyssey!”

“Odyssey Safaris created a private Kenya & Tanzania trip of a lifetime for my family of four. From the moment I spoke with Mark Cahill, I knew we were with the right company. Everyone was patient, understanding and extremely helpful. Both our guides/drivers, Charles in Kenya and Gibson in Tanzania were incredible and greatly enhanced our experience.If we are lucky enough to visit Africa again, Odyssey Safaris will be my first phone call. They did an outstanding job.”

“Just returned from an awesome adventure in Kenya ... all done through Odyssey Safaris. Odyssey worked with us to create a custom safari itinerary with flights, accommodation, meals, guide, etc ... all done easily and without a hitch. Our guide/driver was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and professional and gave us suggestions of interesting excursions that we might want to try. He was also versed in the history of areas we passed through, the parks we stayed at, the various tribes and flora/fauna that we found on our game drives. Overall an awesome experience made easy through Odyssey Safaris.”

“My dad and I took a 2.5 week safari in Kenya and Tanzania with Odyssey Safaris. What an extraordinary, unforgettable experience! From our first communications, through the very end of our trip, Odyssey provided exceptional service. We selected a personalized itinerary that allowed us to visit several parks and conservation areas in both countries, and to see a variety of wildlife. The logistics that Odyssey coordinated could not have gone smoother, including airport pickups, park entries, accommodation reservations and more. We stayed in a mix of tented camps and lodges. Each place was unique, with excellent food and cleanliness. In short, Odyssey provided an exceptional experience in every regard.”

“This was my second excellent trip through Odyssey and this one was completely customized. It started in Cape Town, South Africa, stopped in Port Elizabeth, went to Durban, then to Kruger, and ended in Johannesburg. I can't say enough great things about this company. From start to finish, we got to see and do everything that was on our "bucket list". We had an unfortunate issue with our domestic flights as the Airline went out of business. Not even 12 hours later, Odyssey had us new flights booked, and a new itinerary sent to our hotel, it was amazing. I only hope that I am fortunate enough to book another great experience through them.”
