Trip of a lifetime
After receiving quotes from many safari companies and after reading many reviews, we chose Odyssey Safaris. Mark Cahill offered a private safari that matched everything we said we wanted to see. He got us good flights and helped to resolve a last minute flight change due to an American Airline cancellation. Lucy and Beatrice made sure we were fully prepared for the trip. Our accommodations were great at all locations. The food was great and plentiful. We saw rhinos, leopards, cheetahs, lions, hyenas, and a multitude of grazers. We saw the great migration and river crossings at the Mara River. We spent three nights in Masai Mara, two nights in the Serengeti, two nights at the Ngorongoro Crater, one night in Lake Manyara. On the last day we visited Arusha National Park before traveling to the airport. Our Kenyan guide, Erastus, and our Tanzanian guide, Tadei, were exceptional. They got to where the animals were and made sure we had perfect spots to do our viewing. They were very attentive to our needs and our desires. Many thanks to everyone involved in making this a perfect trip.

Simply amazing
I and my 16 yr old daughter have taken the trip in April 2017 and there really are no words to express our satisfaction with the complete experience. From the moment we have arrived in Nairobi and transport to the hotel, to the last minute and the drop-off at the airport.
Our guide for the week was Erastus and he was in good part responsible for the whole positive experience. He is extremely knowledgable (by the end of the trip we were joking that there is no question he can't answer), curteous and pleasant to be around.
Hotels we were accommodated in were all really nice, clean, all had free wi-fi. The food was very good and there was always plenty of choices (buffet style for all meals). If you are expecting to have filet mignon you will be disappointed but otherwise plenty of variety. All in all, highly recommend it to anyone looking for safari experience!

Excellent guide, very lovely accomodations, I recommend them to the adventurous person.
Our experience was more than we expected. We had an excellent and knowledgeable guide. Our vehicle was comfortable and even had an outlet for battery charging. Two people can move around freely for picture taking.
The accomodations were very nice, some were rustic and some more luxurious. Breakfast and dinner were full course; lunch was brown bag and somewhat repetitious in it's menu but certainly enough to satiate. Ample bottled water was available and our guide even made hot tea for our lunches. We went off season and were glad we did as we had no crowds fighting for spots to take photos. Wifi, even when claimed was hardly functioning. Texting probably works best.

Simon was the best! Incredible experience!
Odyssey safaris completely delivered on an incredible, once in a lifetime trip. The accommodations were wonderful, food was great, free wifi at most hotels - and most of all, we saw almost every animal there (even during off season). Our driver Simon was so great. He went above and beyond to make it a great experience. We requested to see specific animals - and he delivered every time! He genuinely cared about our well-being and made sure we had the best experience. I highly recommend doing a safari through Odyssey Safaris!

Ecxellent Trip
the trip was just excellent, we loved how personalized it was. We saw tons of wildlife (including a leopard), great scenery, and the accommodations and food were good too (exceeded our expectations). The only negative was the amount of driving, especially on bumpy and unpaved roads, that needed to be made between the desired destinations. I guess we all didn't realize how long the distances were between all, until we actually got there. However, James, our driver truly made up for it. He was the best driver/guide we could only imagine to have on such trip - very experienced (certainly not easy to drive in these conditions for such long amount of time), knowleable, flexible, delivered everything we asked him for, and most importantly - funny as he kept everyone in great mood from the start of the trip till the end. I would appreciate if you could give him some big Kudos from us as he truly desrves it.

Safari in Kenya, A trip of a lifetime!
Our safari trip to Kenya with Odyssey Safaris was an one amazing experience, a trip of a lifetime!! Unreal and nothing like any trip I took before, and I do travel quite a bit.
Our driver and a guide James is an extraordinary person, a great guide and an awesome driver, very knowledgeable about the wild life and cared very much about our well-being and safety. Our trip would not be the same without him. He literally made our every single request and every wish come true. We joked with him which animals we would like to see next and we had seen them right after. He said that we are a lucky group to see all the animals we wanted, as other groups did not. But all that "luck" was truly his hard work. He knew where to take us to see the particular animals and he spot most of them for us. He is a definitely a great asset to Odyssey Safaris, hardworking, loves what he does, and does an outstanding job. Thank you very much for this experience and for assigning James to our group (small private group of 4 people). We had so much fun and came back with great memories and tons of awesome pictures.

It was amazing!
I have always wanted to go on a safari and Odyssey Safaris provided everything I dreamed about. My favorite place was Masai Mara when we got to stay inside the park. The itinerary of our trip was so clear and all of the hotels were beautiful. I really recommend this trip!

Had the most amazing time of my life with Odyssey!!!!
I bought a Groupon to go on the Kenya Safari with Odyssey and it did not disappoint, in fact, exceeded my expectations! The tour guides were wonderful- accommodating and very knowledgeable. The hotels were all wonderful- in great locations, great staff, great food, clean. We saw every animal we could possibly want to see. The guides would coordinate with each other to find as many different animals to show us. We even saw a leopard hunt and kill a gazelle right in front of our eyes! They seemed to know all the good places to find the different animals, even the ones that are elusive (like leopards and cheetahs). We saw everything way up close, some only 5-10 feet away from our car. It was unbelievable!!! This was a once in a lifetime experience, and I would have no hesitations in recommending Odyssey. They just went above and beyond!

The trip of a lifetime, amazing!!!!! We would highly recommend it to others!
The four different accomodations we stayed at were excellent, very clean! The staff members were very friendly and knowledgeable. With all the food being inclusive, it was fabulous and you could have as much as you wanted. We saw so many animals in their natural habitat, it was really breathtaking !The sunsets were beautiful! And one of our trips to Amboseli National Park was situated at the foot of snowcapped Mount Kilimanjaro! What a spectacular sight! The weather was very comfortable and we had no problems with mosquitoes! Of particular note was our individual guide, Erastas. He was extremely accommodating, taking care of all our needs. There were many bathroom stops along the way. There was an 86 year old woman in our jeep and he took extra care to ensure her comfort. It was impressive, He was very well informed regarding the wildlife we observed and he was willing to answer any questions we had. He coordinated well with the other guides to ensure that we got maximum exposure to as many animals as possible. Additionally and perhaps more importantly he was a perfect gentleman and a friendly companion! He is a credit to your organization. Thank you for such a great experience. We will never forget it! And our pictures are awesome!
