Very helpful when early rains meant we needed to change our itinerary.
Africa Odyssey contacted us shortly before our trip to say that heavy rains meant that we should change out itinerary. They were very helpful at sorting out alternative accommodation, refunding the difference and advising us on new options.
Our Safari camps in Selous were both excellent (they were very different but as per expectations ) and the staff at both locations, especially the guides, were great. As we were at the end of the season the camps were very quiet and actually that was a bonus as we were able to have the safari facilities all to ourselves. We were a bit nervous about the rain forecast but although it rained on quite a few days the duration was short and it added to the atmosphere, had a lovely cooling effect and we enjoyed the sound of rain on our tents.
I would use African Odyssey again and definitely recommend them.

Supreme Safari Organisers
My first experience of Africa Odyssey (then Tanzania Odyssey) was ten years ago when, after trying unsuccessfully with another very well known safari operator to arrange a Ruaha/ Katavi/Mahale trip, someone mentioned Tanzania Odyssey. I spoke to Marc who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and came back to me within 24 hours with everything arranged to perfection!
Since then we have been on four more African safaris with them, all different and arranged for us on a personal basis with detailed knowledge of our likes and dislikes, and each has been a huge success. All have been enormously enjoyable and have been run extremely smoothly - no hiccups! We have had marvellous service throughout from Marc and Ted who personally know most of the camps well. We are thinking about another safari next year and would not dream of consulting another operator.

Safari to dream of
The transport by plane and landrovers went without a hitch. The guides at both camps in Ruaha and Serengeti South were friendly and really well informed. They took us on memorable game drives in quiet areas. We saw the migration of the wildebeest, lion, cheetah, hyaena and leopard as well as many smaller antelope and birds of prey. The highlight was a pack of wild dog. A particular delight were the meals set up in the bush during an early morning game drive. Africa still has a wonderful wild side and Africa Odyssey found it for us.

Our Tanzania trip can be stated in one word-"Perfection!"
With little information to go on, we only knew we wanted to go to Tanzania and fulfill our number one "bucket list item." It was pure luck that I found Africa Odyssey on line. Sure, I was a bit skeptical dealing with a company "across the Atlantic" with no personal references to go by...but the gentlemen in the office were nothing short of professional, helpful and so willing to speak to me whenever I needed an "extra dose of assurance!"
Each detail of the trip was flawless! Their recommendations were absolutely perfect and just as they stated.
Nothing can describe the thrill of being "up close" to the SIX crossings we viewed...and no picture can capture what it is like to be just a short distance from every animal you dreamed of seeing in their natural habitat.
The guides were so helpful and so willing to share their vast knowledge of animals, plants and life in Africa.
Beyond the safari, the down to the minute flights were unlike anything we experience here in the US. I think the only delay we had was 20 minutes!! (Delta, take some lessons!!)
The pinnacle of our travels was our visit to Oliver's Camp. It cannot be missed!
All I have thought about since my return from Africa is when I can go back.

Africa Odyssey is the best - from a very happy first time visitor to Africa
I worked with George, who has solid expertise in Tanzania. My trip exceeded my hopes and dreams. I was a bit worried because this was my first trip to Africa and I travelled alone. All of the details and logistics were flawless. George's expertise was noted by other more experienced travellers with whom I spoke. They would comment on how well the itinerary was planned. It was ideal because I worked with George on what would be most important to me for this first trip and he guided so well. Unlike some agents, he was not pushy or opinionated, yet still guided me brilliantly. he had first hand knowledge of the places I wanted to go. His expertise showed throughout. I will book all my future travel with this group and have recommended them to others.

great emails
Excellent service from Africa Odyssey. Very quick and informative emails. We had an amazing time on our trip to Selous and Ruaha. Especially loved Siwandu! Dave was our booking agent and he also knows a thing or two about restaurants. Would definitely use them again. Many thanks, David Webb.

A magical safari experience
My wife and I had always wanted to go on safari and Africa Odyssey arranged the most superb safari to Zimbabwe for us. We saw the big 5 and more, and will definitely be back.

An absolutely superb family safari holiday
Africa Odyssey made an itinerary for us that gave us a wonderful safari with some time for relaxation on the Indian Ocean. The lodges were superb, and the arrangements worked like clockwork. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others (in fact I already have !)

Extremely helpful planning of our trip, carried out with efficiency, brilliant company.
We were met & looked after by terrific people all round. Our hotels were excellent and staff charming. Flights were on time and with only one small hitch flying to Ras Kutani, Coastal Aviation were very good at sorting out the problem and relaying it to Africa Odyssey immediatly.
We were impressed with Africa Odyssey's suggestions and efficiency in planning this trip and we will certainly use them again.
A good team.

Amazing honeymoon! Safari and Beach combination
We were really, really impressed with Africa Odyssey. They knew exactly what to do for us and got the itinerary spot on. There is so much choice and it's so confusing but Dave, our consultant, made the perfect trip for us. We saw incredible animal sightings. All the predators and antelope! Our beach lodge was breathtaking and exactly what we wanted after a safari.
