Family Vacation!
I had been in contact with Compass Odyssey since November of 2015, planning this family trip for June. Darren was great to work with, he listened to what we were looking for and made a lot of suggestions and the end result was an amazing itinerary that left everyone very happy. He was full of information and when we had last minute changes to the plans he was right there to help us and to make sure there were no issues. When we finally met at the airport in Cape Town, it was like meeting an old friend and he made a most excellent tour guide! The accommodations that he helped us choose were excellent and more than lived up to expectation. We felt well looked after the entire trip and knew that if we needed any help, it was only a phone call away.
WOW
My son and I just returned from a tour of Namibia and I can only recommend Compass Odyssey, all was perfect. Darren is an excellent guide, he was very attentive to our needs and full of local knowledge. A great sense of humour as well, which is a plus. Everything was perfectly organised, I didn't have to think for 2 weeks.
Will recommend to my friends and family for sure.

I can highly recommend them for their expertise - nothing is too much trouble
We had the services of Darren Humphreys for 6 days while in Capetown.
He is an exceptional guide and took care of every detail from the time we arrived at the airport until we left
He was available to us day and night and we can only rate Darren and Compass Odyssey as "the best"

Spent a fantastic few days with Crusty exploring Cape Town and around.
Having toured with Crusty in Morocco I knew what to expect and wasn't disappointed this time. He is a great guide and so well informed. He goes out of his way to satisfy his tour party - nothing is too much bother.

Excellent service, personally tailored and rapid response to a last minute booking
Safari overall was excellent, with a good choice of locations and experiences as per our request and interests. Darren responded promptly to our initial approach, prepared the tour plan and followed up with us personally and the operators throughout our safari to ensure everything was on track. Exceptional service and highly recommended.

Great personal service
We used Compass Odyssey to arrange a trip to Chobe and Victoria Falls after we had been visiting Capetown for two weeks in March. From the initial enquiry we had a phone call from Darren on a Sunday morning to discuss (a great surprise as we aren't used to such an approach to follow up an enquiry so quickly) and over a period of weeks worked out the best plan for ourselves with him (he showed great patience andgave us the advice we needed to make a good choice). The choice of accommodation and safaris was great and we ended up with an excellent safari guide (Brave) who drove the 4x4 and the boat for the evening safari cruise. Mortimer, who Compass use as a guide in Victoria Falls came to pick us up from Chobe and got us through the immigration process, helped to organise some additional activities, took us around, and was our guide visiting the falls. He and his family members we met were very friendly and we enjoyed their company. A very good personal service, and extremely good communication. I would recommend to any friends or family wanting to organise trips around southern Africa.

Absolutely first-class, an outstanding experience!
From the very first correspondence, we knew we were with the right company! We were so pleasantly surprised at the consistent, professional and friendly communications prior to our arrival, and from the moment we were greeted at the airport, our expectations were all exceeded. For the next several days we were treated to a local's view of all the best places to see, dine and experience, and it was like we were spending time with an old friend! We could have never found all the quaint, interesting and delightful places on our own. Darren went above and beyond everyday to make sure our time in South Africa was truly exceptional! Highly, highly recommend Compass Odyssey!

Very caring and attentive to customer's needs.
Everything was very good, except the Pay Pal form of payment, which gave me many aggravations. But with Darren's patient and courteous assistance, all ended up well.
Victoria Falls
Very well organized and enjoyable trip. Worth for the two days I spent.
