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!
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.

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.

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.

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.

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 pre-trip customer service, great organization, fabulous guide, great food and accommotatio
Everything lived up to and exceeded my expectations. Not knowing what to expect, everything was well described to me and all my silly questions answered before leaving. The safari itself was outstanding, well organized. The food and accommodation was great and we were well looked after by friendly, attentive staff. Our guide was phenomenal with tremendous knowledge about everything in the parks. He went out of his way to find all the animals on our wish list and he succeeded. His name is Yahya Juma. We were given every opportunity to take whatever pictures we wanted. This was a great time of year to go and we were lucky enough to see part of the wilde beast migration. I would not hesitate to recommend this safari to anyone interested in Africa - Tanzania particularly. It has so much to offer. Thank you for making my dream of visiting Africa come true and for making it so enjoyable.

The trip of a lifetime - so much more than I expected!
This trip turned out so well that I can hardly praise it enough! Pre-trip communication was good, and all my questions were answered promptly. The tour itself was wonderful, due in large part to our guide, Charles. Charles was knowledgable, friendly, and endlessly patient, and I highly recommend him. The hotels were comfortable, and the food was good. I hadn't expected to see quite so many animals - I expect Charles knew just where to find them! Some of the things which made it so enjoyable were just luck: we had a very congenial group, and the weather was beautiful. Still, if I go to Africa again, I will choose Odyssey, and will ask for Charles.
