Perfectly planned trip with excellent communication
We cannot offer high enough praise for the work of Sian Edwards at Off2Africa.
Planning a once in a lifetime family trip to southern Africa for a safari can be stressful. We contacted several companies and decided to go with O2A. Sian was quick to collect all kinds of information from us to begin narrowing down options. For example we highlighted that we want to be active on game drives as opposed to seeking a luxurious lodge with a masseuse and fine wines. She asked great questions (are you comfortable with your kids being in a separate tent?) and created several options.
Our timeframe was not locked down which added to the options available - and her workload. But very detailed emails describing the pros & cons of each season helped us make a final decision. We also spoke via WhatsApp to work through some of the finer points and capture our wishes.
In the end our trip was outstanding. It far exceeded all expectations. The accommodations, activities, and transport was flawless.
Off2Africa did a magnificent job creating a perfect trip.

Great flexibility
I did a last minute booking and Chloe was able to prepare everything for my trip on short notice, and everything went well: the hotels were great, I didn`t have to bother as transportation between places was arranged by her, and I could focus solely on the safaris and other activities. I would definitely recommend.

A Dream Safari: Exploring Botswana and Zimbabwe
Our journey to Botswana and Zimbabwe, organized by Off2Africa, was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, the trip was flawlessly arranged, allowing us to truly relax and immerse ourselves in the beauty of these incredible destinations.
The helicopter flight from Maun to Karangoma over the Okavango Delta was a breathtaking start. Karangoma itself was a peaceful retreat with friendly staff, a comfortable tent, and a relaxing mokoro excursion.
Muchenje provided amazing safaris in Chobe National Park and a memorable boat trip on the Chobe River. The wildlife sightings and our guide’s expertise made it an unforgettable stop.
Victoria Falls was stunning, especially from the helicopter. The Insika Lodge was a wonderful place to stay, with beautiful rooms, excellent facilities, and a great atmosphere.
The cruise on the Zambezi was a perfect ending, offering luxury and tranquility.
Thanks to Sian from Off2Africa, we had a truly remarkable holiday filled with unforgettable experiences, stunning wildlife encounters, and warm, friendly people. It was an adventure of a lifetime that we’ll treasure forever. ♥️

Communicative, well planned trip!
Chloe Cummings assisted us with planning a brilliant experience, within our communicated budget. She was thorough and helped us through each step of the planning process, also providing us with a very good online itinerary that explained our trip very well.
We were a large party of 11, and thoroughly enjoyed a 10-day tour between Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Botswana in the December off-peak season.
Arranged accommodations were very good throughout our stay - service and attention to detail was mostly impeccable. The food provided was always well-prepared and kept us going for seconds. We did have some slight plumbing issues at one of the locations, but it was resolved promptly by the staff at the camp.
The overall experience for us was well worth what we spent, as the guides were helpful with suggestions and were always able to track something of interest.
I would most probably use Off2Africa again if we do return to the region for a safari.
My only issues on the trip were not with the planning itself, but just that in (hot) December, there are a lot more bugs and moths that might bother guests, so just keep that in mind if this is something that bothers you.
(We had some lifetime city-dwellers with us who just couldn't get used to it.)

Off2Africa is a professional, knowledgeable and customer focused agency
Our 9 day itinerary of Zimbabwe and Botswana organised by Sian Edwards totally exceeded our expectations. The choice of accommodation, transport and activities were superb. We were delighted to receive personal attention to resolve any last minute requests and hitches. Highly recommended.

Stellar !
I have selected Off2Africa Travel based on reviews read here. Chloe has been up to my very high standards of expectation and is very much like the other reviewers have described her : reactive, courteous, efficient, and more than helpful.
We planned together my safari trip to Botswana (Nov. 2024). 9 nights. 3 camps. 3 nights in each camp. Chloe helped find the best combination of camps at an affordable price.
It was such a wonderful trip !! Just like a dream…
Everything was perfectly planned and went smoothly.
Wonderful planning, wonderful camps, wonderful wildlife, so many sightings… We have more than 5000 pictures. We saw more than 100 lions and baby lions, about 10 leopards and 10 cheetahs… without speaking of the rest…
Just perfect.
Transfers were like a breeze, we never missed a game drive.
Chitabe was definitely the best camp, thanks to Chloe for keeping this as the last one. Truly exceptional. The room (we had one of the refurbished ones), the food, the guide (Tank), the wildlife, all out of this world.
Kwara was second. Beautiful room and very warm staff. The guiding was excellent (Mr T). They now have wifi and aircon during the day.
Lebala was the more rustic camp, but with extraordinary guiding (the famous George) and kindness.
The combination of camps was just perfect.
I can’t tell you how happy we are with this trip.
Thanks again to Chloe for her assistance and great planning.

Chloe is professional, highly knowledgeable and detail oriented.
Chloe of Off 2 Africa planned a phenomenal experience for our group of four. After much research and talking with several tour groups in Africa, we decided to use Off 2 Africa and Chloe. She listened to our interests and our desires. We had never traveled to Botswana and Zimbabwe. Chloe set up an adventure of a lifetime. The logistics were smooth and easy. Chloe booked us mostly with Desert and Delta Lodges which were fabulous. The facilities were excellent, clean, great food with friendly and approachable staff. Our guides were super knowledgeable, relaxed and wanted us to have the best viewing experience possible. We highly recommend booking a trip with Chloe. She met all of our expectations and more.

Excellent advice and organization. Incredible responsiveness
This is the second time that we have entrusted Off 2 Africa with the organization of a safari. Both trips were exceptional (Botswana, Zambia): Chloe gave us the best advice; the choice of accommodation was great; organization was impeccable, everything went smoothly. If any question arises, Chloe will answer very promptly (she even replied to an email during her honeymoon!!!). You can absolutely trust Off2Africa.

A truly magical African family adventure - Zimbabwe & South Africa
Off2Africa was simply awesome! From helping us navigate where, what, how and everything in between, they helped us plan and execute an amazing family holiday across Zimbabwe and South Africa. Packed with adventures, experiences, relaxation, and remarkable lifelong memories.
We were a little unsure at first, as we planned everything remotely (via email and WhatsApp), and transferred money for accommodation and flights, transfers and activities. Everything was spot on and exactly as we wanted. We even ended up making last-minute changes in the middle of our holiday-altering activities and Chloe was just awesome. She was open, transparent and professional.
I could not be more highly recommending the service and all the elements that made the holiday special. It's important to know that the accommodation level, activities, and locations were all our choices but our Rockfig Safari experience in South Africa was simply AWESOME. We're already thinking about planning our next adventure and can't wait.
The overall support, communication, reliability and helpfulness of Chloe and the team at Off2Africa were brilliant! 5 Start operators and highly recommended for anyone who wants help to plan their next adventure! Thanks Off2Africa!

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.
