Odyssey offers a diverse selection of educational tours across Africa, meticulously crafted to prioritize learning in each day’s itinerary. What distinguishes us is our focus on small group journeys for active, curious travelers, usually composed of 6 to 12 like-minded individuals. In Africa, our expeditions cover captivating destinations like Luxor, Casablanca, vibrant Moroccan souks, the Red Sea, and ancient Roman ruins in Tunisia or Algeria. Our educational tours throughout Southern Africa, North Africa, East Africa, Egypt, and the Middle East, including Morocco, embody our commitment to providing enriching cultural and heritage experiences beyond mere sightseeing.
When it comes to exploring the African continent with us, it’s all about embracing the journey, not just visiting different places. While encounters with wildlife in private reserves or national parks during a South African tour are undoubtedly memorable, they are just one part of the collective adventure that deepens your understanding of the region’s culture, landscapes, and history. As a tour operator, our aim is to delve deeper, offering insights into the Nile and ancient Egypt, connections to Sicily, the Atlas Mountains, the Dead Sea, and the extensive historical tapestry that defines Africa.
