Amazing, something everyone should experience!
The contact with Alan and Coosje about all logistics was very friendly and adequate. Our guide Steve and cook Nico made the experience even more impactful, as they spotted the coolest animals and prepared the best dishes for us. Would definitely recommend "Somewhere in Africa" to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania!

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 :)

Excellent safari
My wife and I went on our first safari and booked through Spirit of Kenya based on positive online reviews. Spirit of Kenya organised every aspect of our trip including our accommodation before the safari and a once in a lifetime hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara. We spent 2 days in the Masai Mara, 1 day in Lake Nakuru and 1 day at Lake Naivasha before finishing the trip at Hells Gate national park. Lenny, our guide, was excellent. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, answered all our questions, and his passion really shone through. Thanks to Lenny we saw all of the big 5 and many other interesting animals, and our first safari beat all expectations.

Excellent company. Vehicles and drivers always impeccable
We traveled from Nairobi to Masai Mara, passing by Lake Naivasha and other destinations along the way without any problems. Efficient, comfortable and clean vehicles. Knowledgeable and friendly drivers. Highly recommended!

Spectacular safari to Rwanda to visit the mountain gorillas and their national parks
In planning my trip to Rwanda I communicated frequently with Frank Benoit KANYAMUTARA, the Founder/Owner of Golden Rwanda Safaris, who answered my questions thoughtfully and promptly. He put together a 12 day safari that included my priorities of seeing the mountain gorillas and chimpanzees and added so many beautiful sites that I could not have imagined, such as the Nyanza King Palace. With the longer safari, I had time to see so much of Rwanda including a gorilla family in Volcanoes National Park, lions and many other animals in Akagera National Park, the crafts market in Kigali and a local village. My guide Taufique was very knowledgeable about Rwanda and offered me the option of by-passing or adding destinations to the safari, as well as time to relax. He was pleasant, patient, reliable and thoughtful of my interests, especially in selecting a gorilla family that could be reached by a pleasantly challenging trek for me as a 69 year old. The lodging at every stop was outstanding and far exceeded my expectations, including the Hotel Five Volcanoes, the Governor's Residence and the Akagera Lodge. I was very satisfied with my safari to Rwanda and feel that the price was well worth the memories of this extraordinary experience!

I went on an 8 day safari.
I booked an 8-day tour. I was able to go to all the safaris I wanted to go to in Kenya in those 8 days! Since I was on my own with a shared tour, Peter arranged for us to share the ride with a few safari companies. The guides that Peter arranged for us were very professional and we had a great time during the 8 days! There was a mishap along the way, but they dealt with it right away, which was very helpful. Communication is smooth and very reassuring.
It was my first time in Kenya, but I got to see lots of animals, there were plenty of options available and I had a great time! Africa is far from Japan, but thanks to Peter I want to come to Kenya again.

An excellent well organized unforgettable experience
Everything starts with the base. And the base is formed by Allan and Coosje. Reliable, well organized, caring and flexible. And this is reflected on the rest of the personnel.
More than a recommendation. We have seen what we wanted to see, we have eaten what we liked and we slept with the zebra's as our guards next to our tent.

Wildebeest went above and beyond, we were extremely happy with our trip
Naoh was easy to communicate with to design our trip. He provided great options for us. Our trip was a total of 21 days. We spent about two weeks in Kenya and one week in Tanzania. We had a total of 4 driver/guides. While all were good, Dennis stood out. He was enthusiastic and engaged in the pursuit of animals to see. He was attentive to the radio in the Land cruiser so we knew where to go for sitings. He was excellent at positioning our truck for a good view AND good lighting for photos while being polite to other tourists. On the few occasions when there were a lot of trucks at a site he did a great job of not getting us blocked in and knew when to leave so we were not stuck there. He had a great rapport with other guides so his information was up to date. When you are out there in the parks having a guide like Dennis makes all the difference in what you see. You can tell he personally cares about the animals and the parks. He has his own digital camara and really got into the sites with us. He was sensitive to how long WE wanted to linger, but also good at helping us know that we should stay or keep looking. His knowledge of the animals and their likely next move kept us in the best positions for viewing. Our experience was always Dennis's top priority. He is full of information about the animals and very good at birds. Just when you don't think there is anything to see, he points out a pair of vultures perched together. We talked to other tourists at the lodges and I got the feelings some of the guides from other companies were just not that great. They didn't seem to see as much in the same two or three hours that we did. We highly recommend Wildebeest and their crew. Thank you for a great experience.
