Africa Odyssey Reviews 

We had a FANTASTIC trip to Uganda, we were up close and personal with chimpanzees, gorillas, golden monkeys, elephants, and hippos, as well as other mammals. Sam at Africa Odyssey was fabulous, creating a wonderful itinerary in many national parks. My 2 favorite parks were Murchison Falls National Park and the best was Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in Uganda. Our guide Bahati was fantastic as well as all the guides in the national park. I would highly recommend Africa Odyssey! They are a 10!

Holiday of a lifetime. From start to finish Sam Hankss was nothing but helpful and attentive. We booked a trip with African Odyssey 15 years ago and the service is still just as good. The team are real experts, they listen and as a result booked an experience that was perfect for our family. Transfers, pick ups, camps etc all seamless. Thank you Sam - I can't wait to plan another trip!

Sam at Africa Odyssey helped us plan a dream trip to South Africa! He was helpful, responsive, and listened to what we asked. We loved our stay at Inyati Game Lodge in Sabi Sands! We would have never found this place if it were not for Sam. He provided helpful guidance and communicated well throughout the planning process. I wish we could have seen more information (itemized information) about the cost of all the components of our full trip, but I think what we paid was fair.

The trip overall was seamless thanks to the care AO put into planning every detail. Our guides were all wonderful. We cannot wait to return to SA!

Everyone was there to meet us. All the flights were on time. All the lodges we stayed in were super. We had a wonderful time not worrying about logistics.

Africa Odyssey has planned 2 separate African safaris for us over the past two years. They customized everything to our every whim. Private tours, fantastic lodges, guides to hold out hands when that was needed, lounges at airports, VIP airport greetings, personal drivers, and even charter flights. All this planning was done with a professional and friendly deminer at every contact. Every communication was prompt clear. On both safaris we visited multiple camps, and ALL details were coordinated perfectly. We never missed one single connection or wanted for clearer direction on what was planned next. The prices were competitive, and even lower than some other bespoke travel agencies we have used in the past. Thank you AO!! I could go on and on, but you get the point. Africa Odyssey was perfect on both African safari trips. They have earned our loyalty, and they will be planning our next African trip too. We were lucky to have found African Odyssey, you will consider yourself fortunate also. Have a great trip!! Seth & Jeannie

Well organised from the outset by our travel consultant Sam, and extremely friendly and helpful staff at all lodges. Food was excellent and guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

We have toured Africa twice now with Sam's help at Africa Odyssey. On both trips, Sam listened to what we preferred and suggested activities and lodging that were perfect for our tastes. It cannot be easy to please everyone, but Sam consistently has provided us with the most extraordinary experiences. He is responsive, kind, patient and helpful. We hope to use him again if we venture to Africa in the future!

We recently returned from Kenya where we were on a safari planned by Africa Odyssey. They are very thorough and do a great job in planning and communicating. I previously used Africa Odyssey for a safari to South Africa and Botswana. Both experiences were excellent! When we return to Africa in the future we will definitely use Africa Odyssey again.

Once again Sam has proved his weight in gold! Another awesome recommendation - Anabezi camp (Zambia). What a fantastic trip and seamless from start to finish. If you haven't considered Zambia before you should definitely speak to Sam. Leopard sightings were phenomenal!

From beginning of the planning of our itinerary we have been given so much advice based on our interests by Dave, the safari expert of Africa Odyssey. Dave was so patient to meet our changes of the itinerary and made every detail of the itinerary clear. It is proved that the safari was fantastic and the itinerary is great. We are very satisfied with what we have felt from the safari and even over our expectations. Thank you Dave and Odyssey, we have got a unforgettable memory from Africa.

Sam helped plan our honeymoon from start to finish. He offered real-world advice based his own experience, worked within our budget and sprinkled a lot of little extras on top which really made a difference, like airport meet n greets. These guys are worth every penny.

Africa Odyssey made our first African Safari an unbelievable experience. Sam was the best organizer, gave us amazing recommendations and set up a perfect honeymoon for us with lots of personalized surprises. We had many questions but Sam made it an easy process and booked a perfect adventure just as we wanted. Couldn't recommend higher - will 100% book with Africa Odyssey again.

Africa Odyssey was recommended to us from a friend but we still shopped around. It was clear from the start AO was the easiest to work with. Sam was so great, handled all our requests, put together a great itinerary, re-worked with our changes, and all his advice was proven to be perfectly on target once we got there. We're going back, and will use AO again!!!

Our trip was perfect from start to finish. Africa Odyssey listened to our interests, needs, and budget and helped us plan an ideal itinerary. We had top notch service everywhere we went and not a single pick or drop off was late or missed. We also LOVED the choices of where to go, what to see, and where we stayed. The lodgings were fantastic, particularly our safari lodge. The staff were truly amazing and we saw every animal of which we dreamt. I can't say enough good things about our trip and our experience!!

Our experience was absolutely incredible. From our first call with Sam to finalizing our itinerary, to the actual experience in Kenya, everything exceeded our expectations. Sam was incredibly knowledgeable, and our itinerary was tailored to our traveling style and interests. Words fall short when describing the experience, the incredible staff, and the places we stayed on our trip. We already want to go back and will absolutely work with Africa Odyssey again when we do!

Truly a flawless trip to Botswana. Everydetail was looked after by Africa Odyssey. They did a terrific job!

When discussing the itinerary for our recent holiday we were impressed by African Odyssey's ability to understand our requirements and propose a suitable itinerary. The holiday was a great success. Apart from their experience and local knowledge it became apparent that African Odyssey regularly visit and audit the locations they recommend.

I experienced excellent and thorough communication by the staff of Africa Odyssey to customize my family's first safari trip. The advice I received was very helpful and accurate. In addition, Vamoos was a terrific app to supplement our travel itineraries and share with our family members. Africa Odyssey has very knowledgeable staff and each step of our journeying was well-planned and efficient. My family are so impressed and look forward to using their expertise once again to create yet another unique and memorable adventure!

This is my second time working with Dave at Africa Odyssey. I went back to Africa Odyssey a second time for the most obvious reason - the first trip was a smashing success.

This most recent trip exceeded expectations on all fronts. The itinerary went off without a hitch and the camps were exactly what we wanted. Dave's advice and personal experience were critical in achieving this. He "threw in" a helicopter transfer between two camps that really was memorable.

Separately, as I think Dave will advise, if anyone is planning on visiting Botswana, Mombo is a must. A spectacular property in an amazing area with world class food and service.
