An excellent way to experience Kenya and Tanzania on a budget
There was always a driver or guide waiting to pick us up at each airport. This is very important for feeling safe and secure in a foriegn country. The Safari and guides were fantastic doing everything they could to ensure that we stayed on schedule and saw everything! It is a very bumpy but fun and priceless experience to drive to each of the parks in a safari van! The lodges were all beautiful and top notch with lots of lovely staff to meet all of our needs. Restaurant services were excellent at all the lodges and most provided boxed lunches for all day game drives. My least favorite lodge was the 67 Airport motel, mostly due to it's unimpressive scenery and poorly designed and built rooms/bathrooms. However the overall look of the hotel and the hotel staff and restaurants were lovely, plus it was very secure and close to the airport. There were a couple of scheduling snafus on the part of Kenya Walking. This involved a hot air ballon ride being delayed for an entire day that resulted in us the next day having to drive all day non-stop and arriving at our one night stay at the next lodge late at night. It was a beautiful lodge and we should have had the day to relax and enjoy it, but that didn't happen. The other complaint was having to wait 3 hours at the gateway to the Serengeti due to non recipt of payment for our entry from Kenya Walking...However Kenya Walking more than made up for inconviences by providing us with some other unplanned wonderful tours free of any additional charge. Overall, they are a great tour company and I would reccomend to anybody. The only reason I would not give 5 stars is because of the hot air balloon scheduling problem that set us back a day. It would have had to have been flawless for 5 stars.

I loved every Minute!
The Journey to Zimbabwe was a very well and comfortable arranged trip. Our expectations were not only met, but even exceeded by far.
Thank you very much for this great experience!

Special thanks to our guide, Dominick, who was very kind and professional. Thanks to him, we have our heads full of unforgettable memories.

Benson exceeded our expectations!
Benson replied fast on our quote request and made a nice itinerary. He was very helpful to customize it to our wishes. When we arrived in Arusha he came to the hotel to meet us and discuss the tour in person with us.
The only thing was that we had to wait at the Ngorongoro Crater entrance because they did not receive the payment. It took us a bit more than 1 hour but we found out that it was not Bensons’s fault but from the administration of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority.
So in the end everything was perfectly well organized, from the hotels to the guides to the 4x4’s and the airport transfers.
He did exceed our expectations! Thanks Benson!

Astonishing, educational, entertaining and a truly magical experience!
This was my fourth and the absolute best safari I've been to. The way the guides work to give us every little magic glimpse of the savannah's heart, is something I cannot explain with words, you have to experience it to understand that their safari can make your dream come true! Incredibly talented guides, they know exactly what it takes to give you everything you want and a little more!

Exceptional!
My friend Jessie and I did the Hawkins Mattata safari tour that took us to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. I must say that it was an exceptional safari! I have dreamt of going on an African safari since I was a child, and this one definitely met and exceeded my expectations. One important factor to me as a frequent traveler is my safety. Me and my friend were catered to and well taken cared of; from the company staff (Sylvester & Nelly) to our guide/driver (Nick), and to the staff of all of the accommodations. Everybody made sure that we are comfortable and safe at all times. The game drives were amazing! We were able to see the Big 5 of Africa, and more! Nick was very knowledgeable, easy going and fun. I think that also made our trip a successful one. I have learned so much from talking to him about different types of animals that we saw. He’s definitely passionate about what he does for a living, and also shows how he genuinely loves animals and the wildlife. Staying at camps and experiencing the culture were a highlight also. The camps were comfortable and clean. Food at the accommodations were also amazing. We also had to “extend” our safari for another day, and Sylvester/Nick were very accommodating with our requests. Overall, I highly recommend this safari, and also the company. I will definitely book more trips with this company in the future ☺️

Very enjoyable experience!
Schedule followed as agreed without any stress.
During the preparation of the tour the company agreed to add the Karen Blixen museum upon my request (nice flexibility).
Driver-guide agreed at the end to drop me at the National museum instead of the hotel, and this was very helpful.

Wonderful Safar & Zanzibar holiday
We started our adventure with a safari to the northern parks. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our guide Pemba really was the best. He gave us lots of information about the parks and the wildlife. He had many stories to tell about his long experience as guide. We stayed a few nights at African Glamping in the tented lodges. The view was amazing and the service really good. We stayed another 2 nights in Serengeti Central which was an experience I will never forget. Waking up with the sounds of nature and animals so close to our tent. At the end of the safari we took a flight to Zanzibar where we stayed a few nights at Reef & Beach resort. It was the perfect combination of a safari and relaxing at the beach. Asante sana Paradise!

Extremely well planned and very happy all round
The communication between us and Off2Africa was excellent. They planned our trip around everything that we had requested that we wanted to do and it was extremely well planned. Everyone was friendly and helpful and we felt safe and in good hands the whole time. Very happy with this company.
