Exceptional personalized service and attention to detail
Darren at Compass Odyssey was recommended to us by a friend, and we would without hesitation recommend him to plan your Africa adventure. He was exceptionally patient with multiple adjustments to our itinerary to meet our preferences, and listened carefully to the experience we were hoping to have on this bucket list trip. Our itinerary took us from Cape Town to the usual attractions but flexible enough we were able to fit in a mountain bike ride in the wine region. Whe. The preferred accommodations in Sabi Sands were booked for our dates, he worked tirelessly to find comparable alternatives. The pre trip dossier left no question unanswered, but if there were questions he was quick to respond. Local guides were personable, informative and helpful. We felt well supported on this trip. Not only did Darren and Compass Odyssey meet our expectations, they exceeded them, and truely delivered the experience we were dreaming of.

A reliable and friendly team that made our safari amazing from start to finish!
Amazing Safari Experience!
We had an amazing safari experience! Everything was great from start to finish.
Our manager Avitus was always in touch and ready to help whenever we needed anything. Everything was well organized, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
Our guide Castor was very friendly and told us lots of interesting things about the animals and nature. He really tried his best to show us as much as possible and make our safari special.
We saw so many animals, including elephants, lions, zebras, leopards, giraffes, buffaloes, rhinos, and many more! It was an incredible experience, and we enjoyed every moment of it.
We definitely recommend this company to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Thank you, Avitus and Castor, for a great trip!

Best safari experience
I booked this trip for my mom and I for her birthday. I had looked at several operators to begin with but Lion King stood out the most and I’m so glad that we booked with them. Communication and payment was fast and easy, the itinerary was customizable and it more than exceeded our expectations. The safari itself was SO incredible. We saw the Big 5, our guide Exaud was truly incredible and went above and beyond in every single way. We also learned so much I felt like we were on a private National Geographic safari episode! I truly feel like there’s not one thing that could have been done better, it was everything and more that we could have asked for.

Excellent!
We had a great time during our Pilanesberg safari tour thanks to Martin. He is such a positive individual and very knowledgeable not just about wildlife but also great angles where we could experience the animals in their natural habitat.

A Passionate, Unique Specialist Operation
I am a passionate birder, and enjoyed a short Western Kenya circuit with Ouma Oluokos October 2026. I was deeply impressed by him AND his family, their dedication, to birding, conservation, and culture! There is no operator I have met quite like this before!
