Great safari, lots of wildlife.
The communication we received with the company was very good in the run up to the trip. All emails were answered promptly and efficiently. The safari went reasonably smoothly and we saw lots of wildlife, as we had hoped. The tour guide, Stanley,was very helpful and was able to identify most of the wildlife we saw. He worked hard to make our safari pleasant and comfortable. The travelling between the parks was very lengthy and I think it is better to spend longer in each park rather than to try and fit too much in and end up spending an awful lot of time in the safari van. The roads are not good and the traffic often very heavy too. The accommodation ranged from quite good hotels to basic tented camps. Upgrades might be preferred in these cases. The company provides good value for money compared with other quotes we received. I would recommend this company to others.

We used this Karibu safari company and would highly, highly recommend using them. Their staff (special thanks to Victor & Robert) you were incredible - - they put together multiple alternatives for us to consider, provided "local" insights/opinions as we were deciding between options, and they were very responsive to our every need. Most importantly, the guides we had were incredible in every locale - - they made the trip!! Every logisital aspect of the trip went off exactly as our travel agency said it would (and the itenerary was very informative/detailed).
Perhaps the best way to summarize how much we thought of this company and the experiences they coordinated for us is that upon returing from our trip, we have already contacted the team about returning to Kenya again next year....and there was absoulutely no question that we are going to use to arrange everything for us again!!
Not forgetting our driver Tom who knew exactly where to go to for you too see the migration the big 5 special thanks to each one of our local guides - - you all made a great trip absolutely unforgettable!! Also, the local masaai people are so so nice and welcomed us everywhere we went.

I made a great choice in Go2Africa!
Anja did everything she could to make this our best vacation yet! Working with Go2Africa made our first trip to the continent hassle free. The entire trip was wonderful and I will treasure the memories forever. Thank you, Anja!

Simply Awesome
We had a great time, and our guide was awesome. For future bookings, I would choose camps over lodges.

Fraud
I confirm what the latest reviews says, this is (or has at least lately become) a fraudulent tour operator. We paid a deposit to E Safaris a few months ago for a 20+ group safari in October. All e-mail addresses, website and phone numbers are closed, and apparently they are investigated by Kenya Tourism Board. Our money now appear to be lost, although I expect proper investigation to be done by Kenyan Tourism Authorities. I have reported/complained to KTB (Kenya Tourism Board) and KATO (The Kenya Board of Tour Operators), and I urge everyone else affected to do the same.
Fortunately E Safaris had at least reserved the rooms at Mara Serena Safari Lodge, and Serena has been very understanding and helpful and has in short time set up an new safari for us. And I would like to emphasise that the large majority of the Kenyan Tourism Industry are honest and hard working people who do their very best to give visitors a great holiday. That I can say from personal experience.

Could not have asked for a better group of guides, pleasant, courteous, friendly and ever so helpful
In all our travels we have never been treated better, Brian and his fellow guides did every thing humanly possible to make our trip a total success. Two incidents stand out for us on just how great they were, the first was when it rained so hard one night in the camp it was near impossible for us to make it to the meal tent and Brian's people brought our dinner to our tent, hot and one course at a time. Just like dinning at the "Ritz". The conditions were the very worst and they made it a really enjoyable experience. The second was on the way to the airport where we had to make a connection and the vehicle we were in had a flat tire, and they switched all our luggage with another vehicle and made sure we would make our plane on time.

Infamous thieves in my opinion
I advise you to never, ever organize a safari with them! We paid in advance a part of the safari package, but they never showed up the day of the agreed meeting, leaving us in serious troubles. Just choose any other (licensed, they are not) safari tour operator!

Awesome Safari! Trip of a Lifetime!
The Kenya trip arranged by Odyssey Safaris was fantastic!
Everything was arranged beautifully and we had absolutely nothing to complain about!
We are indeed grateful to Odyssey Safari for making this such an enjoyable and memorable trip.
The guides were excellent and special thanks are due to them [James was our guide].
My son Rohan created a video synopsis of highlights of the safari that is accessible on You Tube, with homage paid to our guide James. The title of the video is 'Kenya 2014 - The Big 5' , it is 14 min in length, and the link is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBs1iwpO6cY
We highly recommend Odyssey Safari and have done so to family and friends.
We would have no hesitation in using their services again if the opportunity presents.
We have travelled extensively across the globe and would rate this experience as one of the best.
You really get up close with the wildlife and get to see more animals than you can imagine.
The food, accommodation, arrangements, service were all top notch.
You will have a fabulous time if you choose to go.
Enjoy!
