The most amazing experience we have ever been on!
Wow, just wow! We are coming back from a 2 week safari with Charles, the most amazing safari guide! We nicknamed him the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) because he really is so top notch! My eight year old daughter just adored him (in fact we all did) and we are so thankful for his kindness ❤
Odyssey Safaris was perfection to work with and let us adjust our itinerary as we see fit. We saw SO much of Kenya and are recommending Odyssey to everyone we know. This was by far the best trip we have ever been on - Amazing!

Odyssey Safaris made my Bucket List Trip dreams come true! HIGHLY recommend!
I am forever changed from my Double Nickel Birthday Safari in Kenya. I went solo and I’m soooo glad I did. Don’t be afraid to travel solo! It’s everything!! I cannot thank https://www.odysseysafaris.com enough for making my dream trip come true! The attention to detail, consistent communication, and VIP treatment was unmatched! Eliud Mwai, one of the owners, came to meet me personally to discuss my itinerary and ensure everything was meeting my standards. My guide-driver Charles Wahinga is near and dear to my heart! We spent every day together for a week and my trip would not have been as special without his kindness, passion for the land, people, wildlife and culture, without his hilarious sense of humor, openness, and exceptional skills! His passion for safari was contagious. I will forever call him Friend… and Kihingo! The areas they proposed, Nairobi, Lake Naivasha, Nakuru, and Masai Mara were expertly chosen and timed, based on what I expressed that I was looking for out of this trip. My lodging was top notch and my safety and comfort were always paramount. My bucket list trip was worth every penny and then some! I stayed at The Safari Hotel and Casino in Nairobi city. It was cool, but not my favorite in the list. In Naivasha, Sopa Lodge blew me away because the animals walk freely amongst the guest. I loved the intimacy of that! Food was off the chain too. In Nakuru, I stayed at the very high end lodging called The Cliff, an andBeyond property. The lodging and views were stunning! They only have 10 glamorous tents on the cliff top property, so the personal attention was on point! In the Masai Mara, I stayed at another andBeyond property called Kichwa Tembo. The Masai Warriors from the local village make regular visits there and welcome you with Masai dance performances. The food at every location was delicious and fresh, though I did get Travelers Gut my first day in Kenya. Thankfully, Mantazuma’s Revenge only lasted two days. It’s very likely you will get it, so plan for it with Imodium! I spread my Mom’s ashes at the base of a tree in the Motherland. She would be pleased to rest in this most majestic place. If you’re contemplating a Kenya visit, don’t hesitate. It was life changing!

Amazing!
My entire experience with Odyssey Safaris was amazing! They did a great job of organizing the trip and making it an unforgettable time. My driver David was especially great during the safari portion of the trip. During the hike of Mount Kenya our guides were phenomenal especially Kim, Sammi, and Bonnie

Thank you Off2Africa
Thank you Mana for organising a brilliant holiday for us and our 4 kids in Durban, South Africa. You were spot on with coming back to us with packages that suited our family which made it so much easier to make a final decision. Your response was timely and which was good for planning purposes.

Tanzania trip including 4 day safari, local village tour and 7 day climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
This is my second African trip arranged by Odyssey Safaris and both trips exceeded my expectations. The safari was a chance to see a wide range of animals in the wild up close. Our guide , Miriki was knowledgeable and found the places to get great camera shots. The local village tour gave us a chance to see the native people as they actually live. The highlight of the local tour was the chance to share a meal of traditional local foods with a village family. And the Kilimanjaro climb was an experience of a lifetime for my son and I. It was a challenging physical and mental test. Our guide, Nelson and his support crew, went above and beyond to insure a successful outcome. It was a terrific bonding experience for my son and I that we will cherish forever. Thank you Odyssey for a 5 star trip.

Well planned, well executed with 5 star service
Dear Odyssey Safari team,
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for everyone’s effort in making our safari trip to Kenya one of the best trips on my list of over 25 years of travel . The planning and execution was spot on. From the moment we cleared customs in Nairobi meeting our guide Simon to our departure 9 days later, it was first class all the way! Leaving the USA and arriving in Kenya can feel a little daunting but my daughter and I felt secure the whole time. Our accommodations were 5 star + and I recommend splurging to stay at the Elephant bedroom camp and the Ashnil Mara camp to view wildlife close up while enjoying excellent concierge service.
Our guide Simon was very good at always double checking our plans each day and offering excellent suggestions to modify our itinerary. His guide skills allowed us to see multiple animals ( The big 5 + ) and explain their habits.
I read multiple reviews on other companies doing this type of safari package and the list is a little overwhelming to choose from but I feel Odyssey Safari was an excellent choice based on what I read and experienced -well done !
I would recommend a minimum of 3 nights per resort to possibly plan a day just to totally relax in the camps and enjoy the amenities. The optional tours of the late afternoon “meet and greet “ elephant orphanage and the giraffe center in Nairobi was a highlight for my daughter.
We had a great time.
Asante Sana,
Ed USA

Phenomenal experience that was above and beyond our expectations.
I contacted the office several times before our trip with questions and for assistance on the Visa application and always found the office staff to be very helpful. When we arrived in Nairobi we were met by our driver and guide for the week, Erastus. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and considerate of our needs and interests. The hotel accommodations and meals were all exceptional, we found everyone we met in Kenya to be friendly. We knew we were going in the rainy season and expected rain but never experienced it until the last day driving to the airport. The game drives always produced great sightings, hundreds of wonderful photographs and new understanding about the various animals, all thanks to our skilled driver.
We would highly recommend both our driver Erastus and Odyssey Safari as a whole. It was the trip of a lifetime.

Amazing adventure!
The entire trip was amazing! Accommodations were excellent, weather was perfect and everything went very smoothly. We visited 3 national parks, saw over 30 species of animals, and made friendships that will last a lifetime.

The best Highlights of Kenya Tour!
Our tour guide was waiting for us at the airport when we arrived, and he never left us until he dropped us off at the airport 10 days later. The luxury tents, food and safaris were all better than I could have imagined. Thank you Odyssey for the trip of a lifetime.
