perfect tour for an amazing price
We were blown away by the quality and service on our recent Victoria Falls/Chobe safari tour. From the initial fast and clear communication to the quality of accommodations, tour guides, personal touches and at a price that couldn't be beat. I'd highly recommend booking with Compass Odyssey!

As a solo traveler, Compass made me feel safe, secure and I had an absolute blast!
I had the best time on safari thanks to Compass Odyssey! The animals were incredible, the food was fantastic, the accommodations were unreal and I was able to live out my bucket list safari!!!

First class experience that didnt break the bank
This was a fabulous trip organised by Darren and Kate. Everything far exceeded expectations. The accommodation, organisation, guides, food was excellent and we have met so many wonderful people. We will definately use Compass Odyssey again and hopefully very soon!

Excellent service from start to finish
We have just returned from an amazing trip to South Africa, Victoria Falls and Chobe Safari in Botswana travelling as 2 couples. The communication from Darren to myself when organising the trip was spot on and he always replied immediately to any emails I had sent. Darren provided lots of information on the areas we visited and was more than helpful with his recommendations to make sure we had a fantastic time. All in all an excellent company which I will definitely use on our next trip to Africa that hopefully won’t be too long away!

Fantastic trip, even better service
Darren and team provided an amazing African itinerary with knowledgeable and friendly guides to help along the way.
Can't say enough about how impressed I am with the communication from Compass. Top notch service.

Perfectly organized - awesome Job fom Compass Odyssey
Compass Odyssey did a great job in organizing our 8-day trip through Botswana, Zimbabwe Zambia and Johannesburg! They listened well to our wishes and expectations, chose beautiful accommodations and suggested activities that matched perfectly with our interests. Everything was well scheduled and communicated and we had wonderful moments with our friendly, passionate and knowledgeable guides. We would not hesitate to book again with CO!

Excellent from start to finish! Highly responsive, knowledgable & personal service.
We couldn’t have chosen better than Compass Odyssey for our first ever safari in Southern Africa. Communication was excellent and personal, from fast replies to our initial enquiry/questions to messages we received during and after our safari.
The 3 accommodations on our trip were all beautiful, with wonderful food. All of the guides/rangers were knowledgable, friendly and enthusiastic, we felt truly welcomed everywhere we went.
The itinerary Darren put together for us offered a great variety of sights and sounds, we felt that we did so much in just a few days whilst still have the flexibility to rest during the heat of the day - perfect balance for us.
As well as the safari experiences in Chobe, we would definitely recommend taking the “Tour of the township” if you’re visiting Victoria Falls (to get a glimpse of real life in Zimbabwe) and of course the walking tour to see White Rhino at the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park which was a fabulous, once in a lifetime experience.
An amazing week, our expectations were exceeded all the way and we can’t wait to return - without question, Compass Odyssey will be our first choice for the next adventure! Thank you Darren & Kate x

Twice perfect. Second trip to Africa with perfect accommodations.
The communication from Darren and crew is probably the best part of my experience. (No, my safari at Senalala in SA was the best part.)Even while I'm on holiday he is available and standing by. We toured in 4 countries over two weeks and our transfers, accommodations and experiences were all top notch. I highly recommend Compass Odyssey to all! This was my second trip to Africa, both planned and scheduled by Compass, and everything was flawless. I hope visit Morocco some day and will be calling Compass for that trip too.

Great operators with superb communication throughout the process! Amazing trip.
Planning a safari can be a daunting task, especially for the first time. Darren and Compass Odyssey made this an easy process. Communication was fantastic throughout the whole process. We were able to make changes simply as our schedule changed. I'm a hands on person and like to plan each detail, so for me, leaving this up to someone else was a bit tough. I couldn't have been happier with the results and would recommend them to any traveler looking to go on safari. We can't wait to come back!

The pleasure of travelling to Africa ...
We (Guglielmo–Italy & María Cecilia–Peru) are return clients that, after our third travel organized and provided by Compass Odyssey, are very proud to entrust once more Compass Odyssey. Our first travel (2016: wine-tours around Cape Town and Safari at Sabi Sand Reserve in South Africa) was good, our second travel (2017: wine-tours around Cape Town and Safari at Kruger Park in South Africa) was great and finally our third travel (2018-2019: Victoria Falls – Zimbabwe, Safari at Chobe National Park – Botswana and Safari at Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park - Zambia) has been superb.
Our three experiences have always gone beyond our personal expectations and we can sincerely state that Compass Odyssey makes you feel like home because Darren and Kate are professional, positive, competent and very reliable. We are just thinking about our next travel to Namibia in 2020 with Compass Odyssey: the pleasure of travelling to Africa …
