Nile River Landmarks

I cannot say enough good things about Odynovo, both on the coordination end (we worked with Laura Li, who was fantastic!) to the on-site people (shout out to our airport contact in Cairo Hassan, our skilled driver Ahmed, our fun Cairo guide Mai, and our knowledgable Aswan/Luxor guide Hazem - BEST crew EVER!!!) who make your trip a seamless, safe, exciting, educational, and all-around transformative life highlight.

This experience was seriously a bucket-list one for my husband and me, and I can NOT emphasize enough how important the Odynovo team was to making Egypt an infinitely easier context to navigate. If you've watched travel vloggers and social media influencers attempt to navigate Egypt on their own and complain about a negative experience, fear not - if you go with Odynovo, every. single. thing. will be taken care of. There is NOTHING to worry about, and the experience was entirely positive. The people, the food, the culture, the historical sites and stories - with Odynovo taking care of all the logistical details, these are the only things you need to focus on.

I am full of gratitude for the experience I had in Egypt, and I credit Odynovo for it. I will absolutely use them in the future for other destinations, and I urge you to do the same. I know my Egypt experience would not have been nearly the same had I not gone with Odynovo.

Also, a passionate recommendation from my experience: DEFINITELY make the trip to Abu Simbel!! It was a major highlight (we went in a private car that left Aswan around 9am since we'd flown in from Cairo that morning). We stopped at the High Dam first, so by the time we arrived at Abu Simbel, the tour busses were on their way back to Aswan, and we had the whole of the site almost entirely to ourselves. It was one of the most awe-inspiring moments of my life. Do it. Stay the night in Abu Simbel if you can in order to avoid the crowds. It was amazing. ✨

Valiant organised our trip for our anniversary and it was superb,
our guide Moses was charming, the food was good and we met amazing local people. Gorilla trek was a fulfilment of our dream. Thank you valiant safaris for arranging such an amazing holiday for us.

My partner and I worked with Valiant Safaris to book a 10-day trip in Uganda, that included a gorilla trek and a visit to Queen Elizabeth National Park. We had the most amazing time! David and Joseph made everything extremely easy for us. We explained our preferences for the trip and they made everything come together very easily and exactly the way we wanted it. Actually they exceeded our expectations. David is a very talented and safe driver, even when the roads got muddy or really precarious, we always felt completely safe with him. David also is extremely knowledgeable and easy to get along with, he was regularly checking in with us about our comfort level and interests. I would highly recommend Valiant Safaris and would definitely work with them again in the future.

Encountering with the mountain gorillas face to face was the best experience. Thank you very much valiant safaris for customizing this itinerary to fit our desires. Guides Kefa and Jerome had comprehensive knowledge about every destination. Viewing Tree climbing lions in Ishasha was also amazing.

17 days to Egypt, Jordan and Israel was our first booking with Odynovo , and Susan, our Rep.There were 6 of us traveling. We had planned our way there and our way out of there. Odynovo covered everything from arrival to departure. We were astounded how every detail was covered . Our tour representative in Cairo, Mr. Ramy was amazing, and our tour guide , Mohamed was very nice. Our Nile river cruise guide was Mr. Khaled who was very caring and knowledgeable. They looked after us very well. In Jordan, we had Mr. Moeen as our tour guide. Very impressed with him. All our tour drivers were very wonderful and we felt very safe with them. All the sights from the Pyramids to Valley of the kings and the museums were breathtaking. And what can one say about Petra. Did not want to come home. What a beautiful city. And all the beautiful sights along the Nile river. Staying in Sun city camp in Wadi Rum was truly an experience. Beautiful sunset and camel ride for sunrise. After Egypt and Jordan , we made our way to Israel. Enjoyed Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The only thing we were not happy with is that when we visited the holocaust museum in Bethlehem, we saw almost all tour guides in the museum with their group with the listening devices in their ear explaining and educating. When we asked our tour guide, Mr.Nasser why he did not accompany us inside, he said no need. That we were able to read and watch video and it was pretty self-explanatory. But it would have been nicer for him to come inside and explain things to us. The other guides were very impressive and explaining things in detail. Overall, this was our first travel with Odynovo. And we were truly impressed. Hopefully again in future we will use them again.

First time using Odynovo, and the experience was flawless. We traveled to Israel, Jordan and Egypt by private tour with 5-star hotels. It was an action-packed itinerary with every day seemingly better than the day before. We were happily exhausted at the end of each day, but did not mind at all because the hotels were top of the line.

I was concerned having never traveled with this company before, but my worries were completely mis-placed. They had every detail covered. From the initial planning with Reinself Wei (He's top notch!!), to the day-to-day guides and drivers, to the "handlers" that were there to accommodate our every need at the border crossings. The representatives of the company all seem to have connections in all the right places! We felt like rock stars.

Definite GOOD TIMES had by all.
