Highly knowledgeable and responsive. Efficient and charming service of the highest quality .
We were delighted to have booked our holiday through Compass Odyssey. We travelled to Victoria Falls, and then onto The Hide in Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe for 3 nights and then onto Botswana for 2 nights in Chobe, 3 nights in the Okavanga Delta and 2 nights in Naxi Pan. Darren created an interesting and streamlined itinerary for us and all of the accommodation was superb and different which enhanced the overall itinerary. We loved it!
Communication was excellent from the outset and there was a sense that we were in very capable and safe hands which was reassuring. We were provided with a wealth of information which was really helpful and Ruth and Mortimer who were our guides in Zimbabwe were hugely personable whilst providing a great service.
Darren was very flexible and charming providing us with a number of options and was never “ pushy” so we were able to fully tailor the trip to our needs and budget.
I did a lot of research into tour operators and can genuinely say that we think we secured a genuinely fine service which was great value for money. It was a truly special and memorable experience . We will definitely book with them again in the future !!

It's all in the details!
There are many options for travel planners but we picked Compass because they listened and helped us design a vacation specific to us. The places we stayed were so comfortable and so special. From the heart of Cape Town to the wine lands to Shinde in the delta. We were so well looked after....our guides on the ground personalized the experience... never rushed. This was not a cookie cutter experience. The value was outstanding. Our time with Compass extended over 11 days and 4 countries. The guides were knowledgeable, helpful... they made the trip so easy for us and also special.

Once in a lifetime African experience!
Compass Odyssey planned our 15-night stay in southern Africa for us and another couple and we could not have been happier with the accommodations, the guides, the tours, the food, etc. We stayed in Cape Town for 4 nights, Franschhoek for 3 nights, Victoria Falls for 3 nights, Chobe for 2 nights, ending up at Shinde Camp for 3 nights. The whole experience was so well planned with wonderful guides as well as a little relaxing time as well. We felt that the time we stayed at each location was perfect. The guesthouses we stayed at were very accommodating with friendly and helpful staff, great food, and comfortable rooms. We especially enjoyed our guides and drivers (Garth, Mortimer, BK, and General) who were so knowledgeable with history and facts as well as having fun and pleasant personalities. The communications leading up to the tour were informative and comprehensive and while we were on the trip we stayed in touch with Darren who was there to answer any questions we had or to just tell him what a great time we were having. We always felt well taken care of by the guides and Compass and are eager to refer them to friends who may be considering a trip to Africa!
