About Us


Our absolute passion is Africa - try and get a job with us and you will see exactly what we mean! We have over 40 years experience in the travel industry and more than 15 years designing holidays throughout the African Continent; we pride ourselves as being one of the leaders in our field.

Based in London, with offices in Fulham and representatives throughout Africa, we were one of the worlds first Africa specialists. Originally our trading name was Africa Archipelago, running tours throughout the entire continent.

Over the years much of our time was being spent in East Africa researching for guidebooks our consultants write. In 1997, having spent the last few years specialising on a continent that was in fact too large to cover in the detail we strived to achieve, we rebranded as Tanzania Odyssey focussing solely on the country Tanzania.

We then reached our objective of offering a level of knowledge about one particular country that no other tour operator could compete with, enabling us to design any itinerary throughout the country that could stand up as the most thorough and well designed tailor made trips on offer.

Today we have departments focussed on all the big game countries that are based on the Tanzania model. Africa Archipelago is the porthole site that connects all these departments together and is therefore one of the most detailed Africa websites on the net.

Our aim has always been to offer a level and style of service that provides our clients with comprehensive, impartial advice as none of our agents work on commission and a level of personal attention to each aspect of their booking, from start to finish.

The service we provide is comprehensive and transparent, costing you no more than if you were to take the trouble to book direct with the lodges themselves. However through us you benefit from our impartial advice, in-depth knowledge and ATOL bond.

Where possible we encourage clients to visit our offices in Fulham for a private presentation in which our consultants discuss all alternatives for your holiday with the help of photographs, brochures and maps. In this way, and with your help, we are able to devise your ideal itinerary.

We strongly recommend that you telephone us to arrange a private presentation or simply to discuss any plans that you may have on Tel 44 (0) 20 7471 8780 or Email Us

Our Air Travel Organisers Licence, (ATOL 5397), is issued by the Civil Aviation Authority in London providing you with the guarantee that your money is safe with us. Our bond is in place to give you the financial security you are entitled to.
