Wonderful Time
Ute was very helpful setting up the safari, arranging transfers, and answering our questions. She made the planning experience easy. Ute's recommendations for the safari exceeded our expectations.

Our Tanzania trip can be stated in one word-"Perfection!"
With little information to go on, we only knew we wanted to go to Tanzania and fulfill our number one "bucket list item." It was pure luck that I found Africa Odyssey on line. Sure, I was a bit skeptical dealing with a company "across the Atlantic" with no personal references to go by...but the gentlemen in the office were nothing short of professional, helpful and so willing to speak to me whenever I needed an "extra dose of assurance!"
Each detail of the trip was flawless! Their recommendations were absolutely perfect and just as they stated.
Nothing can describe the thrill of being "up close" to the SIX crossings we viewed...and no picture can capture what it is like to be just a short distance from every animal you dreamed of seeing in their natural habitat.
The guides were so helpful and so willing to share their vast knowledge of animals, plants and life in Africa.
Beyond the safari, the down to the minute flights were unlike anything we experience here in the US. I think the only delay we had was 20 minutes!! (Delta, take some lessons!!)
The pinnacle of our travels was our visit to Oliver's Camp. It cannot be missed!
All I have thought about since my return from Africa is when I can go back.

Africa Odyssey is the best - from a very happy first time visitor to Africa
I worked with George, who has solid expertise in Tanzania. My trip exceeded my hopes and dreams. I was a bit worried because this was my first trip to Africa and I travelled alone. All of the details and logistics were flawless. George's expertise was noted by other more experienced travellers with whom I spoke. They would comment on how well the itinerary was planned. It was ideal because I worked with George on what would be most important to me for this first trip and he guided so well. Unlike some agents, he was not pushy or opinionated, yet still guided me brilliantly. he had first hand knowledge of the places I wanted to go. His expertise showed throughout. I will book all my future travel with this group and have recommended them to others.
Excellent!
John was great at organizing the safari. He was very responsive and accommodating. Anthony was our driver and he was fantastic as the roads were difficult to manage. The accommodation was great, food was excellent and staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a great safari and we were able to see a lot!

satisfied with the campsites but the ablutionblocks does not suit the Chobe Safari Lodge standards.(5 out of 10)We camp for 2 weeks threw Botswana and Namibia and that was not up to standard,not for the woman if you compare prices and the Lodge standards.

Sheldrick Baby Elephants
We used Uniglobe to book our driver and visit to visit the Sheldrick baby Elephants sanctuary. Our driver James was absolutely fantastic and knew all the shortcuts to avoid the traffic. The elephants were great and we were able to get up close with them during feeding time, it was just a shame when we had to leave! Highly recommend using Uniglobe as it took all the hassle out of booking ourselves and they had great ideas about where else to go in Nairobi!!!!

Amazing Organisation of a Fantastic Trip! Highly recommend!!
I cannot fault Lets Go Travel! Just had the most fantastic week in Nairobi organised by them. James our driver, from collection at the airport to ferrying us back and forth around Nairobi traffic , was amazing. We will definitely be asking for him next time.
I loved our evening at the Daphne Sheldrick's Elephant Sanctuary....such a special evening seeing the baby eleys. So well looked after and would really recommend. Likewise at Giraffe Manor - so close to the wild giraffes was amazing.
Lets Go Travel topped it all off by arranging a safari to Nairobi National Park. I couldn't believe that being so close to the city we would see so much game! Lions walking by the car!!, a trio of rhino, and just so many zebra, giraffes, ostrich, gazelle etc.. Thank you Lets Go! What a day! We shall be recommending you to friends heading to Kenya for your personal touch and thinking of ways of making our trip better at every turn.
Asante Sana!!

Amazing 4-day Safari
We booked our Safari very spontaneously and last minute but everything worked out as planed. In only 4 days we saw the best places to visit on a safari in Tanzania and it was just a great time. Very relaxed, without hurry and according to our wishes the guide drove us through Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara NP. The chef cooked us delicious local food and even the vegetarians in our group got great meals 3 times a day. We had so much fun with our driver Dula and the rest of the crew that it became a unique experience while our travels in Tanzania. Last but not least was the price-earning ratio more than just very good. Thank you Big 5 Voyage for those remarkable trip!!!
