It was an amazing experience and one of the best vacations I have ever been on.
This was probably one of the best vacations that I have ever been on. Our tour was especially geared to children. I have gone on many vacations with Disney Adventures and Disney Cruises and this tour beats all of them! My kids learned about animals, the ecosystem and the culture. I highly recommended this tour to everyone.

Experience of a lifetime, our every expectation was met in a professional manner by the team.
From day one, every single aspect of dealing with Wild At Heart Tours and Safaris was professional, polite and knowledgeable.
Their service was in a nutshell was infallible ( error-free, unfailing, faultless, flawless, impeccable, perfect, true, uncanny, precise, accurate, meticulous, scrupulous) This extended to every member of the team from booking, to the guide Jared and the whole tour itself.
We will be back soon !

First safari, great experience!
This was our first safari and we're glad we went in a toured guide, it made the difference having someone driving, spotting and explaining about the animals. Wild Planet Safari provided us with a private tour, which was also great as we were able to stop as desired and do things in our own time. Paul was our guide and he was great, had a lot of knowledge about the animals and seemed to really love his job. Benjamin was our cook and he was also great, cooked good food and had a good eye for spotting animals. The only minor issue we had was about dietary restrictions, one person was vegetarian and the other was not, but the food was planned as if both were vegetarian... Anyhow, it was a great tour, we spotted many animals, stayed in very comfortable places inside the Kruger Park, which was excellent as we could really enjoy our time inside the park, and had good company. I highly recommend Wild Planet Safari, just be sure to double check what's included in your tour and to ensure all the tiny details as the food thing I mentioned before. It was great and now I'm hooked on safaris!

Amazing team to help you with your Tanzania wildlife experience
The communication with David was great from Day 1 and he made sure he followed through with the plan established before hand. He was there to receive us and accommodate us in Arusha. The guides he chose for us Illazareus Benidict was amazing in his guidance and knowledge about the whole safari tour. Our cook Haridi Rashid was just out of the world. He made us home cooked meals in the middle of the Serengeti with love! Overall the tour experience was amazing in terms of price paid and the value we received. We definitely recommend David and his team to help you get an amazing experience in the Amazing country that is Tanzania!

Best Vacation well organized company
This trip to the East Africa was my 1st experience with Wildlife ever. Magical Retreat and Pamela were very professional but also kept the promise of giving the best quality agreed upon. It was due to the mere trust we had in each other that's how I had booked a 6Day tour for African Game drive with complimentary African Bumpy massage. We wanted a luxury trip which it was as well as had been offered good driver from Nairobi and back. Our guide and driver Livingstone Msagha was very good in sighting animals and very patient as a person. His pateince paid off as we could see the Great Migration at Maasai Mara, as he insisted to remain there for 2-3hours. Kudos to his hardwork to drive us around on such unpaved roads of safari.
I only wish if I had got better stay instead of Sopa Loadge - Maasai Mara like I was offered in Sweetwaters (Serena Camp) and Lake Nakuru - Sopa Lodge. The Maasai Mara Sopa Lodge was bit disappointment Old and after seeing the other property it dint seem as Luxury (not worth at all) . Even at Nairobi Airport I wish Pamela had few SIM card for the client during their stay to reduce the hassle of waiting at airport. We ended up buying Airtel, it had pathetic service in the Rift valley and being local there they should know better 'SafariCom' had better coverage.
The Ballon ride experience was incredible, thanks to the weather and so was the Thomson Waterfall & Lake Naivasha's (huge freshwater Lake) Boat ride as suggested by Pamela. Worth it !
Overall the safari was Awe-inspiring and it was all because of the Magical retreats & adventures Tours team work.

Amazing Safari experience with Jocky tours
I would like to express my gratitude for an amazing safari experience which sadly has ended.
I was on the Masai Mara safari from 13th - 16th September and my game driver was Richard.
Richard was a great driver! Alert, patient and most of all friendly which provided such an amazing safari experience.
He made sure that we all (7 of us) got great pictures and checked with us that we were all OK before he moved off driving. As you can imagine, seeing for ourselves as well as getting pictures is a major part of the experience and I owe a massive thanks to Richard for making that his top priority. We saw ALL THE BIG 5!!! And even had a picture of a leopard in a tree eating a wildebeest! That is second to none!!!
He was also very informative and his English is very good which made for a great bonding experience as we looked to Richard as our leader because he was trustworthy and we can tell he genuinely had all our best interests at heart. He is VERY passionate about what he does and I hope he goes very far!!!
I feel blessed to have had Richard as my game driver during my first experience on safari and especially as a solo traveller where safety is of utmost importance, I felt safe on safari and Jocky Tours now will be highly recommended to anyone who asks me about doing a safari in Kenya! I have already passed on the company details to two people interested in doing a safari and hope they get time to schedule a safari with Jocky so that they can get the same experience as I have done.
Thank you Jocky!

Amazing experience
I just want to thank you for all the services provided and the amazing experience we made.
our driver Jose was an excellent person and very professional. We really liked the company and its knowledge and culture.
I want also to say that the organisation and the servises provided were satisfying and well scheduled.
All the accomodations were fine, clean and in good proportion of quality/price.
We really liked the Kibo at the Amboseli park.
The only suggestion I may say is to overnight at Lake Nakuru instead of lake navasha. It would have been a better solution in my opinion also for logistic reasons. I explained it to Jose and perhaps as he told us, all the places were already booked for that period. Nevermind we did it great, it is just a personal suggestion for the future to come.
I will reccomend your agency to my friends and if we come back or visit other places closed to Kenya I will ask you for a safari trip organisation.

They matched my requirement perfectly with the budget and experience I was looking for.
We were looking for a Getaway for our 20th Anniversary in March 2017. At first Off2Africa replied very promptly with about 5 options both locally and regionally getting a feel of what we were looking for from a destination point of view as well as our budget. I found there Comms very helpful in asking the right questions to help prompt me in finding out myself exactly what I wanted - sometimes we have grand ideas or even no ideas at all. After choosing the destination I looked online myself and then reverted with some lodges i was interested in. I was so relieved when Off2Africa reverted with various comments again pointing me in the right direction for what i was looking for. They recommended a lodge in Zanzibar which was just what we wanted - in our budget and the type of accommodation likened to our characters for our getaway. The small details of it being our 20th anniversary were passed onto the lodge and we had a special welcome and private dinner set up for us. We were well impressed. To me recommending travel lodges and itineraries are not just standard for each family but rather specialised to the needs of each individual traveller and Off2Africa did just that for us.
