Trip of a Lifetime
Compass Odyssey went above and beyond to create a unique itinerary for me and my husband on our honeymoon. We did a lot of research on different companies and felt that Darren and Kate offered a very special experience at a very fair price. We had never been to Africa before and were nervous about what to expect, but Compass Odyssey made the entire experience stress-free, relaxing, and fun. From knowledgeable guides, amazing accommodations, and incredible food, it's clear how much they care about creating a wonderful trip. We particularly loved our time at the different lodges, where we got to see big game up close, meet other travelers, and learn about local culture. Darren and Kate only book travelers at lodges they've stayed at personally and it shows. We would absolutely recommend Compass Odyssey to anyone looking for a once in a lifetime trip.

The most epic trip of my life
I can hardly find the words to express how deeply moved and impressed I was by the trip organized by Compass Odyssey. The owners, Kate and Darren, are truly passionate about what they do and go above and beyond in designing a journey that takes every single wish of the customer into account.
From the very first contact to the follow-up after the trip, I felt completely taken care of — and most importantly, truly heard. The itinerary was tailored to my individual preferences, and the entire communication was warm, kind, and incredibly understanding.
I'm especially grateful that my wish for vegan options was respected and accommodated at every location and during every activity. The service provided by Compass Odyssey is simply unbeatable: a private driver on site who offers support and advice, private game drives and boat cruises — everything was exclusive and personalized. Such unforgettable and superb experiences which are only yours!!!
Thank you once again, dear Kate and Darren for a journey that still brings tears to my eyes.

INCREDIBLE Safari
From the first inquiry to the final flight Compass was amazing. The detail in planning far exceeded any expectations I had. Each lodge was gorgeous with incredible staff. The 12 days I spent in Southerm Africa is something everyone should experience. I highly recommend using Darren for help planning the trip of a lifetime.

If you want a unique and personal trip to Africa, work with Compass Odyssey!
I was lucky enough to be guided by Darren personally on a trip to Morocco several years ago. We’ve stayed in touch and I knew when it was time to return to Africa that Compass Odyssey was going to help pull it all together.
Other reviewers have mentioned how easy it is to work with Darren and Compass Odyssey, how the guides are wonderful, the accommodations perfect, the food delicious, etc. And that is true.
But where I really appreciate Compass Odyssey—and what I think sets them apart—is how they cater to the specific traveler and what they are looking for in a trip. These tours are not one-size-fits-all. Darren won’t recommend something that he does not think you will like or that does not meet your specifications. Instead of just saying yes, yes, yes, he will actually disagree with you and explain why he doesn’t think your idea might work for you and offer alternatives. He is also immensely patient and detail-oriented so that everything is perfectly organized and arranged.
The folks I travelled with fell in love with Africa and are already talking about a return trip with Compass Odyssey. I can’t wait!

Exceptional Quality and Personal Service!! If I could give them 10 stars I would!!
This trip was a dream of ours for many years. And dreams really do come true! Darren and his team really made this an exceptional experience from beginning to end. The planning was personalized and very thoughtful. Our accommodations exceeded our expectations ... the food, the staff ... the game drives ... everything! And I could go on and on about our guides. They were instantly part of our family. Compass Odyssey really knows their stuff .. and set up every detail beautifully. We have recommended them to everyone we know. Africa is an amazing place with beautiful people, amazing scenery and creatures big and small. We are already dreaming of our next trip ... and will be calling Darren to make it all happen!
