Awesome first time Safari
I have always dreamed of taking a safari and had decided that I wanted to go for my 50th birthday. What an awesome experience. It was the experience of a lifetime. Our Guide, Erustus, was amazing. He made the trip unforgettable. I would recommend Odyssey for your next trip. This was our first time out of the USA. I can't say that the week was uneventful - we had heavy rains and the windshield wipers would not work, flat tires, had to take a detour on the way back to Nairobi due to a wreck, took a few shortcuts along the way. Honestly it was these extra events that MADE the week memorable. Go with the flow and enjoy the week. t will be the best thing you ever did.

Excellent
Everyone was great. Lucy was good for helping us prepare. Mark took care if our hiccup quickly and smoothly. Simon was the best tour guide. The safari itself was unbelievable and the accommodations above expectations.

Our Odyssey Safari went way beyond meeting our expectations for an amazing experience.
Everything truly ran like clockwork from first meeting our very knowledgeable and amiable guide, Mytaio (spelling?) upon landing in Kilimanjaro to our return flight to the US. We chose both lodge and tent accommodations and were never disappointed with the rooms, service or meals. Every location offered very pleasant surroundings and several can only be described as breathtaking. After a long day on safari, we especially enjoyed the swimming pools at a few of the lodges. We are very impressed with how Mark and his staff carefully organized our fairly complicated safari itinerary. Their efforts were especially appreciated as our safari was a much anticipated 30th wedding anniversary celebration.

Amazing!!!!!!
The best trip I ever had. The food, accommodations, and the safari, What an awesome experience! Our tour guide James, the best! Made sure we see all the animals, very patient. I will send all my friends who are going on a safari to your company. I'm in love with the people of Kenya. So beautiful.

Kenya in All Its Glory with Simon
Odyssey Safari met all my expectations as a "first time to Africa & Kenya" journey. The accommodations were good and in many cases excellent. The price was very reasonable. The best part of my trip had to be the excellent guide, Simon. He listened to our requests and really knew where to see as many animals as possible.
He took pride in his country and relayed wonderful information about our environment and the animals of Kenya. He was a skilled and patient driver and a pleasure to interact with on even the most challenging experiences (flat tire - fixed in 15 minutes and on our way.) I would highly recommend Odyssey Safaris to anyone who wants the best experiences with a special request for Simon.
This experience helped me remember past safaris while introducing different animals and habitats.
Our safari included Masai Mara and Samburu - two totally different environments and experiences. James, our guide was well versed in both and added information about the animals, landscape, trees and differences between the animals in the two parks. How different the animals were when only separated by a few hours drive was intriguing and something I didn't expect. James was very accommodating when requesting specific times for game drives, specific animals that we wanted to see and helped our photography by positioning the vehicle to capture the best angle and in some cases the best light. We have some of the most fantastic shots of leopards. Not something everyone gets to see in the wild. We enjoyed out time with James just getting to know each other and sharing stories as well. We even had the opportunity to recommend James/Odyssey to other people on safari that were planning to return to Samburu. He definitely enhanced our trip and our love for the animals of Africa. Beatrice was our contact for arranging and planning our trip. She was very responsive and very friendly - even through email. So- thank you all for a wonderful trip. We are still sharing photos and stories with our friends.

An exciting safari trip that really allowed us to embrace the African culture and wildlife!
My husband and I booked a safari through Odyssey Safaris for his 40th birthday and we were very happy with the trip! Not only did the company cater our travels around our personal requests and interests, but they also added some great recommendations. We had a very memorable time and would definitely recommend Odyssey Safaris to others!

Perfect safari and deep sea fishing
Odyssey safaris provided a life time experience for my wife and I. It began with 2 1/2 perfect days at the Hemmingway resort in Watamu, Kenya. We each caught several species of fish on our day of deep sea fishing, including several sailfish over 100lbs. Wife had the largest of course.
Accommodations in Nairobi were first class at the Safari Park Hotel. Our safari guide provided a good understanding to our group of four of what to expect for the next several days. We were amazed at his knowledge of all aspects of what we saw, not only the animals, but the trees and flowers. His knowledge animal habits allowed him to position our vehicle for the perfect picture.
Kenya is a very safe and friendly country for tourists. The local police, military at the Tanzania border and safari camp guards all provide a comfortable and safe environment.
Communication was very professional and accurate from Odyssey safaris. There were no surprises other than our trip exceeded our expectations. All accommodations were great. Food was prepared by highly trained chefs and we each gained several pounds.
We highly recommend them and we will to all our friends. We will return? Yes

Amazing. Life-altering. The most beautiful place in the world.
Booking the safari was easy, Mark was knowledgeable about Kenya and all of the places I'd be going. He even gave advice about extra events I was considering attending --very well thought out. Communication was swift and simple. All of my questions were answered from the moment I booked the trip to the day when I hopped on the plane.
James was my guide. He was excellent in every way. Courteous, knowledgeable, kind, helpful... anything we wanted, he made it happen. His estimates on travel time were eerily precise. He was jovial and always made us laugh. I could not have asked for a better guide.
The accommodations were outstanding as were all of the hosts. It was truly a fantastic experience all the way around...
And the animals. The animals. We saw the big 5... the big six if you count the Maasai. Kenya is the most beautiful place on earth. I say this having spent almost 2 years in Antarctica (my former #1 most beautiful place), and having traveled extensively in: New Zealand, China, Thailand, Cambodia, Mexico, Canada, Western Europe and Ireland. Of all of these amazing places, Kenya now holds the key to my heart.
The people, the land, the animals... it's all so very powerful. For me, it completely altered my life. I not only came back to the states feeling very hakuna matata, but also have reevaluated my life, my values and how I want to continue being on this great planet. After 5 weeks, I am still completely hakuna matata. It's a beautiful thing.

Truely Amazing!
Odyssey Safaris provided us with an unforgettable safari experience. The level of customer care we received in the US prior to the trip and on the actual safari was unmatched. The accommodations, food, staff and our vehicle all met or exceeded our expectations. The people of Kenya are very friendly. The scenery is amazing and the wildlife that we experienced was off the chart. The hot air balloon ride is an extra excursion that everyone should consider. We also enjoyed a romantic bush dinner, lion tracking and boat tour on Lake Naivasha. We can't wait to go back!
