Excellent safari experience with Odyssey Safaris!
We just returned from a 8 day "Highlights of Kenya" safari and we could not be happier with service provided by Odyssey and the overall experience. The accommodations were just wonderful, particularly the Ashnil Samburu and Ashnil Mara lodges. Truly beautiful lodges in comfort and understated luxury. The food in all places was excellent and plentiful. The game drives were spectacular. I did not expect to see as many animals as we saw and of all kinds! Our guide, Simon, was a gem. Very knowledgeable about the wildlife and local culture. There was a lot of driving involved but we did not mind that as it allowed us to see the real Kenya too. We felt safe at all times, even when going through tiny villages or stopping on the way. In fact, we felt safer in kenya than in many places in the USA. Everything was planned perfectly, from the moment we were picked up at the airport to the last minute. It is wonderful to have the same driver/guide with you at all times as this allows for flexibility and "spur of the moment" excursions. In sum, very pleased with Odyssey Safaris and the quality of the safari the provided us. We recommend them very highly.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Cindy B.
The most incredible place I have ever been. Animals abound, and can be viewed doing all the natural things that they do: eating, sleeping, hunting, caring for young and giving birth. It is wild, exciting, and beautiful. Unreal how close the vehicles can get to the animals, and they give little notice. Kind of a magical place.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Cindy B.
So much beauty! Wildlife abounds! Each time you start to think the search for another animal is starting to take time, something appears!

Amazing, up close wildlife!
From the moment we entered Tarangire NP, we saw more wildlife than we expected. In no time at all we were incredibly close to elephants, giraffe, and a number of other herd animals. This was our first park and the beginning of our trip, and it was a spectacular way to start!
Wonderful park, fantastic landscape and wildlife viewing
Had a fantastic 2 and a half days in Etosha. Travelled as part of an overground tour. We saw lions, a leopard, rhinos, (black and white), elephants, giraffe, zebras etc!
It was amazing to sit by the water holes at night watching a group of elephants drinking and playing.
Beautiful scenery, salt flats were interesting to see. Not too crowded either, at times it was a bit busy around the waterholes.
My first safari did not disappoint!

Review about Tanzania by Cindy B.
Surpassed our expectations. Plans were kept on schedule by guides and operators, yet flexible and accommodating when we requested changes or lingered longer in one place than planned. No stress, no pressure, just days of adventures and evenings of relaxation.

Exellent and best valuable Tour
It was the best tour in my life. Everything was perfect organized.Much better
as I expected. Our personal guide was very nice and his knwledge about all the animals,
birds and nature was perfect. Also all informations and discussions about the daily
life at Uganda has been very interesting for us. Save driving and all assistance he gave,
i found great.
Coming to Uganda again, I would only choose Speke again.
great individual tour, professional guides - we had a wonderful time
We were booking several tours during our stay in tanzania with benson and all of them were really great. we booked a safari trip to different parks for 5 days. Or guide Paul was very well informed and also connected with the other guides - so we saw a lot of great animals. accommodation was super and everything was arranged in the way we wanted to.
our second tour was a bit an adventure, because we wanted to climb a mountain and spend the night on the top. Benson managed to arrange everything. it was a really cold night, but the stars and the sunrise totally worth it :)
the last part of our vacation was a one-week trekking tour to lake natron. sleeping in tents, walking with donkeys and we had a wonderful cook with us - he even made us popcorn one evening!
Benson picked us from the airport, he met us at the end of our vacation for feedback. we can highly recommend bensonsafari.

All Expectations Surpassed in Tanzania!
Just recently returned from the trip of a lifetime! We traveled as an extended family of 6, two in our 50's and four in their 20's. All expectations were surpassed! The four tented camps were extremely comfortable, food outstandingly delicious and plentiful, guides were prompt, polite, engaging, and amazingly knowledgeable. We can't thank Safari and Co. enough for organizing an experience we will treasure forever.

Serengeti Safari
We booked a four day three nights camping Safari with MJ Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Everything was well organized. The camping was a great experience. We had our own cook who made very delicious meals. The guide was very friendly. We were able to see all the animals. I would definitly book again with MJ Safari.
