Very thorough from start to finish
Planning the trip from flight arrangements to the excellent lodging was seamless. Safari vehicles were well maintained and the drivers so very professional and engaging. They helped us understand the cultures and were knowledgeable about the animals as well. Highly recommend. We had friends go the year after us at our recommendation and they were so impressed also

Erastus was kind, funny, informative and always got us the best views of the animals.
Odyssey Safaris was so easy to work with. I appreciated the website to talk with others who had gone and came back and Mark or orthers for advice. I ended up having a transportation issue due to the airlines and the whole team were easy to reach and communicate with. They also made an effort to help find my luggage after the airlines lost it. The safari was unbelievable. We saw 76 animals species over a week, with 20 species each of the first few days. Erastus ensured that not only did we see the Big Five, but we saw the Big Five up close. The hotels were beautiful and comfortable, with everyone we met extremely kind. The food was very good. I also highly appreciated the Masai village experience to get a true idea of how the people live. It was an unforgettable experience that has left an indelible mark on my mind, and I can't wait until it is time to return.

Our tour operator was great!
The trip was amazing! Out guide was great, accommodation was wonderful -The only negative we had on the entire trip was our transportation from Zanzibar Island. We had NO info for pick ups and felt totally left to fend for ourselfs.... other than that the trip was great!

Erastus
This was with out a doubt the best experience I have ever had. Completely unexpected and without expectation. There was no crowd and the tour was
Personal and intimate. Our tour guide was without exception. Erastus was his name and he was stellar. We saw all
Of the big animals along with their young. Migration was just beginning. Up close and personal. We also learned about the Masi people and their surroundings. To this day after being a world traveler this was by far the
Most memorable. Thinking about one more
Trip before cancer takes me. Loved it that much. Will definitely book with odyssey. They were wonderful!!! No detail left unattended

Trip of a lifetime
Such an incredible experience. My sister and I were taken care of from before we left to when we got home. Our guide was so kind and went out of his way to make sure the trip was everything it could be. The food and accommodations well exceeded my expectations! The jeep was such a great safari vehicle, and we had amazing wildlife viewing opportunities. Thank you Odyssey for an experience I will never forget!

Absolutely Amazing
My wife and I received everything as promised. Communication was flawless, pick up at airport was quick and easy. The tented accommodation was fantastic as was the food. The driver was well spoken and very knowledgable, always had a smile and quick to help if needed. Seeing the animals up close was amazing, even saw two lion cubs playing with their mother, which no other group saw as our driver knew what to look for. Would highly recommended this company and their tours.
Odyssey is one of the best tour operators I have ever experienced! Top notch outfit - 10 stars!!!!!
My expectations were met and more! My driver Charles and the other drivers were amazing! The safari experience was one of the best vacations in my life. I hope to do another safari in South Africa with Odyssey!

Excellent staff, vehicles, accommodations and food made this vacation an experience of a lifetime
We had booked a safari with a competitor of Odyssey Safaris and to our dismay it was cancelled a week before we were to leave. We contacted Odyssey and were able on short notice to make arrangements to join one of their tours. Best move we could have made. In addition to the tour we wanted to spend a few days in London on our way back to Canada. No problem, arrangements were made by Odyssey staff and the flights, including stopovers, went as planned. The tour itself was excellent: the guide was very knowledgeable and very open to the wishes of the group, accommodations and food were excellent and the vehicle was very clean and trouble-free. We also signed on for an excursion offered by Odyssey Safaris involving an early morning hot air balloon ride and champagne breakfast - wow, was that fun! I travel a lot and this is the first trip review I have ever completed. I highly recommend Odyssey Safaris to my friends, and to anyone else who would listen.

Incredible experience with fun, knowledgable Guide
Odyssey Safaris was super great to work with. They helped us set up our entire experience seamlessly (more or less, of course!) and even assisted us above and beyond our purchased tour so we could make personalized adjustments to enjoy our time. Erastus, our guide, was courteous, super knowledgeable and always looking to give us the best experience possible. I am so lucky that we got to enjoy this!

Beyond Spectacular!
Our safari experience was AMAZING!! Odyssey Safari did an outstanding job communicating prior to our safari with what to expect, pack and travel itinerary. Our guide Simon was an absolute pleasure, and accommodating. He was extremely knowledgeable and happily communicated this knowledge and answers to our parties many wildlife and cultural questions. Through Simon's efforts we were able to view successfully the Big 5.
We can't wait to come back in the near future with our young adult age children.
