Absolutely Amazing
My wife and I received everything as promised. Communication was flawless, pick up at airport was quick and easy. The tented accommodation was fantastic as was the food. The driver was well spoken and very knowledgable, always had a smile and quick to help if needed. Seeing the animals up close was amazing, even saw two lion cubs playing with their mother, which no other group saw as our driver knew what to look for. Would highly recommended this company and their tours.

Trip of a lifetime
Such an incredible experience. My sister and I were taken care of from before we left to when we got home. Our guide was so kind and went out of his way to make sure the trip was everything it could be. The food and accommodations well exceeded my expectations! The jeep was such a great safari vehicle, and we had amazing wildlife viewing opportunities. Thank you Odyssey for an experience I will never forget!

Erastus
This was with out a doubt the best experience I have ever had. Completely unexpected and without expectation. There was no crowd and the tour was
Personal and intimate. Our tour guide was without exception. Erastus was his name and he was stellar. We saw all
Of the big animals along with their young. Migration was just beginning. Up close and personal. We also learned about the Masi people and their surroundings. To this day after being a world traveler this was by far the
Most memorable. Thinking about one more
Trip before cancer takes me. Loved it that much. Will definitely book with odyssey. They were wonderful!!! No detail left unattended

Our tour operator was great!
The trip was amazing! Out guide was great, accommodation was wonderful -The only negative we had on the entire trip was our transportation from Zanzibar Island. We had NO info for pick ups and felt totally left to fend for ourselfs.... other than that the trip was great!

Erastus was kind, funny, informative and always got us the best views of the animals.
Odyssey Safaris was so easy to work with. I appreciated the website to talk with others who had gone and came back and Mark or orthers for advice. I ended up having a transportation issue due to the airlines and the whole team were easy to reach and communicate with. They also made an effort to help find my luggage after the airlines lost it. The safari was unbelievable. We saw 76 animals species over a week, with 20 species each of the first few days. Erastus ensured that not only did we see the Big Five, but we saw the Big Five up close. The hotels were beautiful and comfortable, with everyone we met extremely kind. The food was very good. I also highly appreciated the Masai village experience to get a true idea of how the people live. It was an unforgettable experience that has left an indelible mark on my mind, and I can't wait until it is time to return.

Very thorough from start to finish
Planning the trip from flight arrangements to the excellent lodging was seamless. Safari vehicles were well maintained and the drivers so very professional and engaging. They helped us understand the cultures and were knowledgeable about the animals as well. Highly recommend. We had friends go the year after us at our recommendation and they were so impressed also

Best Trip Ever!!!
This was my first trip out of the country and I’m not sure how I’m ever going to top this! I wanted my trip to be safari centered and they totally delivered. Unfortunately we missed Table Mountain because we were late getting to Cape Town because of flight delays, but the rest of the trip was AHH-MAZING!!! Our tour guide turned out to be the cool uncle I never had. My tour happened to be very personalized which I appreciated. We did a lot of driving up to Johannesburg, but it was cool because we sung and laughed almost the entire way. It was a busy trip, but a fun trip! I even got to walk in the wild with my favorite animal, the cheetah!!! If I could do this all over again, I would! Can’t wait to book my next safari!

Thousands of animals, striking landscapes, expert guide, great pictures...what more could you want!!
Setting up the trip, which we customized a bit, was easier than we thought. Everyone at Odyssey Safaris was very accommodating. Our guide, Simon, was phenomenal. From the time he picked us up at the airport he made us feel safe and comfortable. He always pointed out animals in the distance as we approached on our game drives and he was quick to show us unfamiliar birds. He took us up close with game for some awesome photos, and kept our best interest at heart when moving us from one conservancy to the next. We couldn't have asked for more in a guide! All of our accommodations were great - comfortable and clean, with all the amenities (we loved the hot water bottles!), and the meals we shared as a family were delicious. I was impressed with all of the options available at mealtime. Our party of eight (two families of four) still talks fondly about this trip and how much we all loved it. It was such a positive experience. We plan on returning someday with a few more family members in tow! I'm happy that we chose Odyssey Safaris as our tour operator.

Trip of a liftime with impeccable service, wonderful hotels and food and guides !
These guys were the best-communication before the trip was flawless and during the trip they go out of your way to make sure you are getting what you need and are comfortable and happy. This trip exceeded my expectations and was really a trip of a lifetime- I liked them so much I am having them take me on a Gorilla Trek in 2019!
