An exceptional travel experience with Compass Odyssey
From the time we received a reply to our initial enquiry about a safari in Africa, we knew we were in the best possible hands with Compass Odyssey. The itinerary they put together was incredibly close to what we had only dreamed of, and required hardly any changes — a testament to their deep understanding of the region and their clients' needs.
Having worked in and around the tourism industry for many years, I usually prefer to plan trips myself and wouldn’t typically use a travel company. However, Darren gave me complete confidence that I had made the right decision. His professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care stood out from the very beginning.
The level of service we received throughout the entire process — from planning to travel to post-trip follow-up — was outstanding. The attention to detail and the wealth of information provided reflected not only Darren's expertise but also the values of this passionate family-run business.
Thanks to Compass Odyssey, this trip of a lifetime exceeded expectations (mostly :), one glitch in there that came as a surprise but was worked through with the service we had come to expect from Compass Odyssey and I'm sure will be a funny dinner party story for years to come) We absolutely loved it and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a truly memorable and stress-free travel experience.

Attentive, with integrity, trustworthy - can not get better than Compass Odyssey!
I decided last minute that I wanted to climb Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and decided to reach out to Darren at Compass Odyssey to help set this up. I had travelled using Compass odyssey several times before (to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia), and each trip was always everything we wanted and more, so I knew that when Darren said he could help me arrange for Kilimanjaro, I’d be in good hands. He is incredibly easy to communicate with, replying quickly and kindly, always willing to work with you on any tweaks or requests. He is incredibly professional. The value for the money is also far and away better than what you will get from other tour operators I have been recommended who are based elsewhere. I have full trust in compass odyssey and am looking forward to our next trip with them in the 2025-2026 academic year.
We felt safe in the knowledge that Compass Odyssey had organised every detail of our safari trip.
We were recommended Compass Odyssey and from our first interaction on FaceTime we knew we had selected the right tour operator for us. Darren and Kate provided us with detailed suggestions for our African safari itinerary through South Africa , Zambia and Botswana. Their suggestions paved the way for us seeing unexpected amazing sights including seeing the Big 5 on more than one occassion. We even saw elephants swimming across a river - we didn't know elephants can swim ! The lodges we stayed in were excellent. The guides chosen to accompany us were very knowledgeable and friendly. Throughout our trip Darren kept in touch to make sure everything was alright.
No hesitation in recommending Compass Odyssey.

Provided a wonderful and memorable trip!
I recently went on an 8 day Victoria Falls/Botswana safari planned by Compass Odyssey. My friends and I had a wonderful time, and I really enjoyed the itinerary and the 3 lodges recommended by Compass Odyssey. Darren was very helpful with the planning and very responsive to my questions. The guides were all terrific, and I would definitely recommend Compass Odyssey for trips in Africa.

Top Notch
Compass Odyssey support ended when our trip ended. The group appreciated the fact that Compass looked out for us throughout our travels and responded quickly to any questions or support we needed. The lodges visited were truly exceptional. Great food, service and most of all friendly environment. We were not disappointed in the wildlife we have seen. We were fortunate enough to go in May to see a lot of young animals that were born within a few months. Victoria Falls and the B&B we stayed at was beautiful. Our tour guides was excellent Overall Compass Odyssey provided life time memories. Check another trip off our bucket list!
Thanks Compass Odyssey, guides, airport support, B&B, Lodges, and all the friendly people and support we received throughout this trip. This was a top notch trip!
