A birthday to remember
I had never imaged that I would be going to Kenya and I was a bit nervous about experience. But I should not have been. Odyssey had everything taken care of. They sent us all the information well ahead of time. They met us at the airport and got us our our way! Everything was arranged and there were zero issues along the way.
Our guide, Simon, was always punctual and was very knowledgeable. When he got a tip on a good sighting, he was a man on a mission to get us there. Yet he could be patient. We spotted a lioness and her cubs moving into the bush. He turned off the engine and told us to wait...sure enough the mother and 4 cubs emerged a few minutes later. He had a great eye and found us many interesting sights.
We celebrated our daughter birthday on the last evening. I don' think she will ever forget the experience.
If I had a complaint it was that the van was too full. With 7 adults plus our 10 year old and all the luggage and water it was very tight.
I would travel with Odyssey again!
Trip of a Lifetime
This trip was nothing short of remarkable, and I am thankful Odyssey Safaris was my safari operator. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but Odyssey did a great job of catering to our needs and answering all of our questions. The safari rides themselves got better and better with each place we visited, and they certainly saved the best for last: Masai Mara. Our tour guide, Erastus, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. It was because of him that we saw some of the breathtaking things we saw, including a leopard feeding on a gazelle while in a tree, a lion waiting (impatiently) to make a kill, and six lion cubs playing with their mother. It certainly helps that, with the exception of a few activities, the expenses are all part of the package. That way all you have to focus on is enjoying your trip and negotiating good prices for your souvenirs.

The trip of a lifetime!
As a self-admitted travel nut, to say that this is the best trip I have ever taken (in 60+ some years) still seems like an understatement. The quality of all arrangements and accommodations, the caliber of the staff and guides, the printed materials and informative emails, and general responsiveness of all Odyssey personnel (they aim to please, and do it brilliantly!) surpassed even our greatest expectations. As if seeing the animals up close and personal in the African savanna were not life affirming and life altering enough, the good fellowship of our tour group and the daily helpfulness of the Odyssey folks made this a dream-come-true of a vacation!
