Off2Africa Passionately Cares about Their Clients Providing a Once-In-A-Lifetime Experience
Off2Africa and specifically Chloe really saved us. We are a family of 6 with late teen children and were planning a graduation present trip for one of my children to Scotland when the entire trip was cancelled due to COVID restrictions. Needing to save our doomed family vacation, I reached out to Off2Africa with only about 6 about to go before our travel dates and an immediate response with various options was provided within 24 hours.
A customized trip that exactly met our travel date requirements and our desire to experience various activities within our budget was put together with the next few days. Not knowing exactly what we wanted, Chloe was able to provide first-hand insights into the various camps providing options.
The trip that Chloe put together for us was an incredible blend of safari wildlife and adrenaline-based family activities in Zimbabwe. We visited the Bumbusi Wilderness Camp, The Hide and The Elephant Camp with each location providing quite unique and different experiences.
The Bumbusi Wilderness Camp provided a secluded experience like none other with extreme flexibility on when and what we wanted to do in terms of safari drives. We saw ample wildlife including lots of elephants, giraffes, baboons, impala and a variety of other animals. Additionally, the personalized dinners that our family shared with camp’s staff and our guide provided intimacy in a unique way. The food was phenomenal and there was always plenty of it. They really took care of us!
At The Hide, the unique setting in being able to get up close and personal with the animals was the highlight. Our guide was able to provide once-in-a-lifetime experiences with a very up close encounter with a lion and an elephant approach on foot. There was a plethora of wildlife including multiples encounters with a 500+ herd of buffalo, a very close encounter with a cobra and many other animals. What an experience!
The Elephant Camp was an awesome place to finish up our trip as the location allowed us to experience not only wildlife safari (including an up and close personal encounter with a black rhino), but also bungee jumping, white water rafting, a photography cruise (a very close encounter with a crocodile being the highlight), sightseeing Victoria Falls and a dinner cruise on the Zambezi River. The accommodations were extraordinarily comfortable and internet speed was incredible to the delight of my children.
The fact that Chloe was able to put together this trip so quickly and was also able to help us navigate a number of complications due to COVID testing requirements is a testament to how she really cares about her clients. She cares about you on a personal level which is both unusual and refreshing. She met us in person when we arrived in Victoria Falls at the airport and once again later in the trip making sure everything was ok. She continued to check in on us throughout the trip making sure all of our needs were taken care of. Her organizational skills, creativity and empathy was tremendous and allowed us to have the trip of a lifetime. We felt incredibly well cared for.
Thank you Off2Africa and Chloe!

Absolutely awesome 5 stars all the way
I booked the Tour from the USA. Received a Quote. I agreed and wired the down-payment from my Bank to their Bank in Kenya. I arrived in Kenya, was greeted by one of the Employees, sign the Contract and the next Day, Simon, the Driver was on time at 7.30AM and off we went to the Masai Mara. It was an absolutely perfect Experience and definitely would chose Twinkle Stars again. The Driver Simon had an unbelievable knowledge of the Masai Mara.

Extraordinary!
As a group of 5 people we did in July 2021 2 days safari – Tarangire and Ngorongoro and it was an unforgettable experience. Our driver/guide Emmanuel were really great. We´ve got lots of information and they were keen to answer any silly question we could have and were there really for us. We´ve already experienced safari in other countries and we had really bad experience as drivers there were really unrespectful to the animals and environment so we were a bit afraid about the same situation would happen here. But this company and drivers are really concern about the impact. They do their best to give unforgettable memories and experience to tourists but always give priority to respect the animals and nature. We stayed for overnight in Ngorongoro Simba campsite where our Chef Pascal prepared delicious food for us. It felt like heaven in the month, The service we´'ve got on this safari was brilliant and above our expectation. We´ve got more value for the price we paid. We highly recommend this company and to stay in Simba campsite. It was very different experience than staying in the lodge. Also, communication with Amos (the operation manager) was open and he was willing to customize the trip according to our demand and we appreciate that he was clear from the beginning about the prices and tips for drivers which are expected in most of the companies. We prefer that he informed us before and gave us clear guidance.
From all the companies we contacted this one gave us the best price offer and the service was over expectation. We highly recommend Relish of Africa and we would definitely choose you again guys for our safari holiday. Hopefully soon we will do another national park, Thanks for everything.

He's a crook
Don't use them! Michael and Nelson/this company ran off with/stole our trip money for Tanzania safaris and Uganda accommodations - we saved for years for this great adventure and are now, headed home without the experience and without our money!

Prompt, transparent, and fair with excellent customer service!
We are so happy that we chose Roaming Africa Tours and Safaris for our honeymoon to Kenya in August 2021. Our tour operator, Hudson, went above and beyond to help us plan the perfect itinerary and respected our budget.
We contacted many other tour companies, but decided on using Roaming Africa because of Hudson’s prompt responses and because his offer was the most transparent and fair. He broke down the prices for us which helped us decide our final package. Hudson was very patient as we contemplated many different destinations and sent us the prices so we could compare. Other tour operators made us feel like we wouldn’t be able to afford such a safari with our budget, but Hudson made our trip possible for us so we could still visit both the Masai Mara and Amboseli National Park.
While on our safari we came across an issue at our first camp (not at all Roaming Africa’s fault), but when we contacted Hudson he responded within minutes and took care the problem immediately. His level of customer service and responsiveness were outstanding. He continuously checked in with us throughout our trip.
We look forward to recommending Hudson to all of our friends and family who plan to travel to Africa in the future. We hope we can visit again!

Unforgettable days in Uganda with Hail Tours
We had a wonderful trip with Hail Tours. Doreen and Gerald gave us unforgettable days. The trip was prepared and carried out very professionally. Everything we dreamed of has been fulfilled. We slept in beautiful lodges. Through Doreen and Gerald we learned a lot about the country and the people. We fell in love with the country. Many thanks to both of them, we'll be back.

It couldn't be better!
Booking with Gorillas and Beyond Safaris was like winning a jackpot. If you book Wyclef as a guide for your individual Uganda tour, you are actually in the best of hands. Here the 7 reasons why we would book again at Gorillasandbeyond at any time:
1. Very good communication in advance. The travel plan is adapted to the individual wishes and the personal budget.
2. No hidden costs. The (fair) price, once agreed, holds.
3. You don't have to worry about anything in Uganda. Gorillasandbeyond takes care of everything - from booking the lodges to organizing the permits to the most efficient travel plan. You can sit back and enjoy.
4. Wyclef is a very responsible driver. As with everything else, he attaches great importance to reliable quality in his car. In addition, the journey times he predicted were always exactly correct.
5. You feel that you are in good hands. Wyclef knows exactly where you can eat as a foreign tourist and what our stomach would probably not be so comfortable with. When choosing a restaurant, you can rely 100% on his recommendation.
6. Wyclef is very well networked in Uganda. This helps enormously in the event of unforeseen challenges such as B. lost luggage.
7. It's fun! If you are out and about with someone for many days, the chemistry has to be right. We think that Wyclef has a very pleasant, empathetic manner and that he can adapt well to the personality of his clients. We really had a wonderful time with him :-)

Even better than expected!!
We had a perfect time in Uganda with Speke!!
Our guide was so friendly and well organised from the pick up at the airport until the very end. We didn't need to worry about anything. He had a great knowledge about wildlife and nature and he always tried to make the best of every situation so that we could enjoy it as much as possible.
Also the car and the lodges were great, too.
We can definitly 100% recommend Speke Uganda Holidays!!
