The beautiful word 'safari' in Swahili means 'journey'. At Odysseia, we're passionate about all the different kinds of journeys - from discovering the world, to our journeys back to the wild, to the ones back to ourselves. Our creative journeys too, and everything in between. Often, along the way, it's the people we meet, and the ones who impacted us, that make these different odysseys so special. They become our teachers and mentors, guiding us through inspiration and discovery of different worlds - sometimes even the world within.

It's no secret that travelling the world can be overwhelming, and although having us as your patron gods will certainly save you a lot of hassle, sometimes, having a Private Specialist Guide cater for your every need is a great choice. Having one of our Odysseia guides also means guaranteed laughs and a lot of fun, a deep understanding of the bush and the continent, photographic and creative tuition, and a wealth of specialised knowledge specific to each guide. Smooth border crossings for the win, too! All at home in the wilds of Africa, our guides are passionate about people and animals... and most of all, sharing it with others!
