Beck organised our whole trip including flights, transfers & safari lodged & all were brilliant !
5/5

Beck listened to the sort of trip & budget we wanted then suggested several options for us to look at - we were spoilt for choice! Both Rhino Post and Pondoro Lodge exceeded our expectations & were totally amazing. Our flights and particularly our transfers - jeeps, cars and drivers - were very professional & timely (unusual for Africa) and we felt (as 2 Middle Aged ladies !!) in very safe hands throughout our whole trip. We saw fantastic game & stayed in incredible surroundings & comfort. We would definitely use them again for any travel in Southern Africa & beyond.

Personalised professional service that doesn't end with the experience itself.
5/5

Once again we really enjoyed a trip arranged by Tifiny and Beck at Off 2 Africa. Tifiny went out of her way to ensure that we had the best possible experience, and despite us having been to Mana many times before, staying at and being pampered by the Ruchomechi staff made the experience so special. What so impressed me was the thoughtfulness on our return when Tifiny took the trouble to email and find out how the trip went.

Will definitely go again using Off 2 Africa once more.

Three wonderful travels
5/5

We travelled three times with Off2 Africa and each time it was absolutely wonderful. We travelled twice all through Zimbabwe and once through Namibia.
Each time we had a tailor made travel thanks to Beck. His knowledge of these countries and his wishes to organize exactly what will be the best from us according to our hopes made our travels unforgettable.
We had some wonderful experiences such as special dinners on Lake Kariba, fantastic walks into the bush, beautiful lodges and hotels..... and so on.

All bookings, timings, travel and accommodation were well planned
5/5

Off 2Africa were very patient and careful in the planning stages, of our holiday with several changes of plan from us. The safari location was very good...and we were very lucky with our sitings ...Their advice and knowledge of the areas proved invaluable. We enjoyed all aspects of the holiday.

Knowledgable, professional and personable service resulted in a wonderful experience.
5/5

Thank you Tifiny and Off2Africa for once again making exactly the right recommendations and arrangements for our wondeful Zim visit. The trip went perfectly - quite an achievement on your part as we left everything to the last minute.

We loved Ilala at Vic Falls and so glad we stayed there. We met Martin (the manager) and Deidre Brown (the owner) which made it even more personal. The quality of the service, the decor, the food, the cleanliness and the overall feeling of the hotel are top notch and I think may be due to the fact that it has been a family owned hotel for many years.

We also appreciated the proximity to the Falls. We could hear them and walked there 3 times

As a frequent traveller, I am easily irritated when there are small things that don't work but there was absolutely nothing about Ilala that I could fault. Honestly, the hotel amazed and delighted me at every level. The only thing that bothered me was the noise from the helicopters - no chance of an afternoon nap with that noise.

The delux rooms turned out to be a gorgeous suite but we did not need that much room. If I had known it was a suite, I would have booked a standard room in the new wing as they are lovely enough. Still, we made the most of the suite and enjoyed the space and the big bath. The decor in the rooms is very tasteful and thoughtful.

The pick up and drop off went smoothly too despite the fact that our flight was about 90 minutes late to Vic Falls.

The sundowner cruise on the Zambezi was beautiful and our boat driver very knowledgeable. I am glad we booked the more luxury cruise as the boat was small and quiet and we had wonderful snacks along with our limitless drinks! Dinner at Vic Falls Saf Lodge great - even though it could be described as touristy, it is delivered with authenticity and energy and I would recommend it even to people living in Zim.

I can't wait until we can visit Southern Africa again and will of course book with Off2Africa. As you know, I have recommended you to other friends keen (but nervous) to visit Africa. I know they will be well looked after.

My Chilo Experience With Off2Africa
5/5

I came across a special on Chilo Gorge on the Off2Africa Facebook page. I contacted Tifiny and expressed interest in the special. Her response to my inquiry was fast and thorough. The trip itself was incredible. Not only is Chilo absolutely gorgeous but the manner in which Off2Africa planned our flight, transfer and accommodation was exceptional! Everything was on time and as described. There were no nasty surprises! I absolutely enjoyed myself so much so that after my experience my sister also booked a trip with Off2Africa. Amazing work and please keep it up!

Efficient and informative
4/5

Our family has been talking about visiting Hwange for a couple of years now and we finally found the perfect time to book during the school holidays. We chose Tom's Little Hide, as we were a group with small children. On arrival we were stunned by the reception we received and the amazing accommodation. The kids loved the pool and their own outside shower most of all. The other highlight was Nicholas, our guide for 5 days. So knowledgeable on all wildlife, birds and trees. Amazing memories were made on our drives or just sitting watching the animals coming to drink from our verandah. In short an epic trip made perfect by the delicious meals, brilliant staff and the full cooler box on all the game drives. We will definitely be back!!

Off2Zimbabwe
5/5

We visited Zimbabwe from the UK in 2016. Our trip had us visiting Harare, Matopos, Bulawayo, Hwange, Vic Falls and back to Harare in 2 weeks. Beck and Tiffany helped us plan and book the trip, including our car hire for the 2 weeks and an internal flight. We had exchanges of emails and calls in advance of the trip, discussing camp and hotel options.....in the end we had a wonderful trip that went off without a glitch. With the Off2Africa team you are in safe hands; we have since recommended them to friends who are keen to travel into Southern Africa.

Off to Africa organized our honeymoon on Benguerra Island in Mozambique. It all ran very smoothly and it was a great recommendation - we had a lovely time there! They have booked several transfers and hotel bookings for us in Zimbabwe too, no hitches, always a pleasure, and lots of local knowledge.

Off2Africa Travel arranged our entire visit to Victoria Falls, which went seamlessly
5/5

Off2Africa Travel provided excellent advice and options for our trip to Victoria Falls, as well as keeping us informed and advising of any potential issues we may have encountered on our visit to Zimbabwe.

We thoroughly our time at Victoria Falls. The Safari Lodge was very good, service was excellent, particularly Michele at guest services who assisted my wife with a stomach upset. George at the restaurant was also very good. Rooms were small and lacked a second chair and enough luggage storage space as we did not unpack but apart from that and some minor maintenance they were fine and there was a lot of activity at the waterhole which we overlooked which offset the other issues.

BOMA dinner was OK, however, I think we left early and may have missed some of the performance. This was due in part to my wife's stomach upset, however, also to a lack of a program being provided, and we declined a round of drinks and the waitress asking if we wanted to finalise our bill.

Flight of Angels was a very slick operation and we came off buzzing after a first time in a helicopter for one of us after sitting next to the pilot. Really a must do to get a true appreciation of the falls and geography.

Transfers were excellent, we also did a village tour which was very good and the sunset cruise which was OK, however, I think we had been spoilt be African sunsets and wildlife by then.

Off2Africa Travel provided valuable assistance for what was part of one of the best holidays we have had.
