Itineraries tailored around remarkable landscapes and scenery.

Africa Odyssey tested world-class accommodation.

Wherever you want to stay - sleeping out under the stars, full-on luxury in the bush with white linen tablecloths and fine wine, or casual beach-shack chic - Africa has exactly what you want and we at Africa Odyssey know exactly where to find it. 

4. 

The world's most adventerous itineraries 

Africa has every variety of adrenaline pumping activities: Hot air ballooning over the Serengeti, diving the reefs with whale sharks around Mafia Island, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, walking and boating safaris, shark cage diving in Cape Town, bungee jumping at Victoria Falls. Africa is a playground for the adrenaline seeker, and the experts at Africa Odyssey love being your guineapigs!

Africa is an unrivalled destination.

No other continent offers quite the same blend of wildlife, wilderness, culture (from the vibrant and modern city of Cape Town to interactions with the Maasai and other indigenous tribes), adventure and gorgeous Indian Ocean beaches. We can combine any or all of these elements for you to create an itinerary of endless variety. It has it all, and not one kind of holiday is done in halves; the scenery is magnificant, the wildlife is the world's most abundant and impressive, the people are the friendliest, the culture is the most vibrant and the natural wonders are the most dramatic. It really has it all, and from 20 years experience we really do know how to put together the best expert African tours. 

The best Safari Holiday destinations with the experts at Africa Odyssey

The ideal country for your African adventure will depend on what you're after, which we are happy to discuss with you. First think about whether you'd like East Africa (including Tanzania and Kenya) or Southern Africa (including South Africa, Botswana, Namibia,  Zambia and Zimbabwe).

Both East and Southern Africa have a range of excellent safari options and plenty of world-renowned safari parks. East Africa is generally a more economical option than the South. East Africa also offers easier access to beaches and islands (including Zanzibar) off the Indian Ocean coastline. Southern Africa is great for including trips to Cape Town and/or Victoria Falls.
