Compass Odyssey is just simply fantastic!
This was my third trip to Africa, the second using Compass Odyssey to put the trip together. I was so pleased with the last trip, three years ago, that I didn't hesitate to use them again for this trip. Last time I went with my immediate family. This time was with my older sister. I had such a good time in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and South Africa last time, that my sister and I covered much of the same ground again this time. Mortimer met us again in Victoria Falls, and he and his wife and son were wonderful hosts during out time in Zimbabwe and Zambia, as well as our transport to Chobe in Botswana. I highly recommend the Elephant Cafe in Zambia if you like the idea of close interaction with elephants, combined with excellent food and wine! The Chobe River Lodge, and the safari drives, on land and in boats, are among the best I've done in all the places I have gone in Africa. The leopard siting was fabulous. And Garth, our tour guide in Capetown is as good as one gets. His understanding of South Africa history, and his ability to explain the historical context of the places we are visiting makes a significant difference in the enjoyment of the places we visited. I highly recommend Compass Odyssey, with Darren and Kate, to help you put your special visit to Africa together!
Extremely attentive to detail
Compass Odyssey were recommended to us by a friend and they proved an excellent choice. Although they are a small company they were super responsive and very flexible when it came to recommending and booking our Safari vacation across Namibia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. Their support and advice during the trip was exemplary - everything went extremely smoothly and we had the holiday of a lifetime. We also had a very useful de-brief when we got home. Darren and Kate are lovely people and we couldn't recommend them more highly.
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.
