Unparalleled local knowledge combined with thorough professionalism
We used Chloe Cottrell from OFF 2 AFRICA for our second safari trip to Africa. She is a resident of Victoria Falls and her local knowledge made for an amazing month of travel and safaris.
When I first began to speak with her, I explained that we had been to Sabi Sabi in May of 2023 and wanted even more adventure. She suggested Hwange and Mana Pools in September or October. When I pressed her more on why there and at that time her response was “it’s just intense because the animals are desperate for water.” She was not kidding!!
The game viewing at all our locations was jaw dropping. From over a hundred elephants from six different herds gathering in one water hole at the same time to Freddie, a full-grown elephant who stands on his hind legs to reach the tree branches he wants to dine on to lions outside our tent and elephants drinking from the pool. It goes on and on.
I trusted her recommendations and it paid off with unforgettable safaris. Beyond that from the time we were met in Johannesburg airport until we were dropped off 25 days later everything she planned went off without a hitch. I also liked her method of billing which showed all the details along with the individual pricing. Chloe is very responsive in her communications and I found here to be totally honest in all aspects of our working together.
Chloe, thank you for planning this trip of a lifetime.

We had the most excellent time on our safari! The itinerary Off2Africa created for us was in perfect balance. Good rest and relaxation coupled with high excitement! The places we stayed were splendid and had the kindest and most knowledgeable teams. We made lifetime memories on this trip and really appreciate Off2Africa crafting it for us :)

Fantastic safari experience, complete planning and quality accommodations.
Highly recommended, We are avid travelers, but this was a trip of a lifetime. Chloe was our superb travel planner. She completely tailored our trip to our interests, provided excellent suggestions for extra experiences, and gracefully answered the barrage of questions that first timers to Africa ask. She planned our trip with a series of very friendly, comfortable camps in Botswana. All transportation was coordinated and each camp offered different safari activities, such as, vehicle game drives, boat game drives, and walking tours. The drives were led by experienced guides that were extremely knowledgeable about the local area. We enjoyed each and every camp and all the staff. I would recommend Off2Africa and Chloe in particular to everyone, we had a fantastic time.

Awesome job Chloe, a fantastic job of planning a trip that greatly exceeding our wildest expectation
Chloe took our desires and put them into an absolutely perfect African adventure. The safari camps were 5 star - knowledgeable and sharing guides, ANIMALS, unbelievable meals, remarkable accommodations, attentive staff and exposure to the local area. Everywhere we went there was someone one to escort us to the proper location and make sure we were comfortable (with accommodation AND plans for the next day). The pre trip information was extremely organized and most helpful. No issues with communication, Chloe always responded with answers and suggestions. I strongly recommend Off2Africa to plan your adventure to Africa. Let them put you in the best possible camps, hotels, side trips, etc. Let them work out transportation in Africa. Our adventure was awesome because Chloe handled all the details and put us in the best possible places, scheduled our in Africa transportation and made sure someone looked after us every step of the way.

A truly unique and wonderful experience that was exceptionally well organised
Chloe Cumming was outstanding, nothing was every too much trouble and she gave us great advice and guidance at the start when considering our different options. I could not recommend her highly enough and we had an incredible, diverse and exciting safari in Zambia

Amazing travel agent!
I searched for a travel company to help me plan a pretty personalized trip to Africa. I wanted to see whales near Cape Town, do safari's in the Kruger National Park and then go to Victoria Falls. I already had my airfare booked so Chloe, my agent, had to work within its perimeters. She worked with me for days to get everything just the way I wished. She answered any questions I had, took care of all transportation and tours. I wished to have most meals included and she helped me do that. The accomodations she suggested, and which I eventually chose were beyond amazing. Chloe suggested I stay in Hermanus for whale watching and I stayed at the Whale Rock bed and breakfast. The breakfasts were amazing. They were very close to Hermanus town center and a lyft/uber only cost a little over 3.00 each way. This was the first time I had ever traveled alone, as a woman of 63, I was a little afraid to go exploring on my own but in Hermanus I felt completely safe and discovered an amazing seaside restaurant called Beintang's Cave, where I saw dozens of whales right from the shore. Chloe also booked a whale watching tour that was fantastic. Within 5 minutes a huge southern right whale actually swam under our boat! In the Kruger I was booked into the Lukimbi Safari Lodge in a private villa with 2 bathrooms, and my own plunge pool. When I first entered my villa a family of elephants walked right past my pool! At that lodge all food was included but not drinks except coffee and still water. I was aware of that when I booked, as I am not a huge drinker, it was not a problem. I was a little disappointed that the mini bar was not included, however. The food at this lodge was fantastic, and the view over a small watering hole was amazing, I saw elephants, hippos, crocks, buffalos, impala, every day! Finally in victoria falls I was booked into the Victoria Falls Safari Club which Chloe made all inclusive for me. I overlooked the water hole and saw elephants, impala, storks, and every day at 1 p.m. a vulture culture experience where the resort would feed the local vultures. When I arrived at this resort I was told "a lady dropped something off for me". Chloe left a african cloth for me that the native people use as clothing. Chloe also booked a helicopter ride over the falls that was spectactular and a Boma dinner that was a lot of fun. The last day of my stay I was hoping to see a warthog, looked around all day and only saw them from afar. Then, on my way to the wonderful double pool, I opened my door and there was a warthog RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY ROOM!!! It was like a genie granted me a wish, it was so unbelievable! I also saw many many adorable vervet monkeys running around the grounds, right in front of me. I loved this place! It was like a dream! For my last night before flying home from Capetown I was booked into a wonderful bed and breakfast that also had a restaurant with great food. Everything worked like clockwork, even though when I arrived I got my dates wrong and arrived a day early. Chloe fixed it all for me and got a transfer to Hermanus and an extra night, immediately! If you want a perfect, safe, wonderful vacation to Africa, use Off2Africa and ask for Chloe!

Excellent service for an unforgettable time
Chloe was wonderful and helped greatly with the trip organization from recommending the best spots based on interest to planning out everything and trying to fit in all the wanted activities and handling the booking. I don't think it is possible to plan it in the same way without having a professional like her being involved. and best of all, the entire communication was fast and smooth. many thanks for helping to have such an unforgettable trip!!!

Listened to what I asked for
I had gone on safari before and knew what type of experience I wanted. So I did. little research on areas I wanted to visit. I called several companies to get a quote on a safari. I specified where I wanted to go (areas I wanted to stay in), number of nights in each area and my budget. Off2Africa was the only company who listened and got me what I wanted. And what a trip it was! Accommodations were incredible and very comfortable. We were totally immersed in nature and surrounded by animals. Our guides were extremely knowledgable. Food was delicious. We saw everything we wanted to see. We will be going back in a few years and we will use Off2Africa again!
