Reviews
Professional, efficient, informative and friendly
I recently went on a bucket list trip to Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge, booked through Off2Africa and was delighted with all aspects of the trip. It was well planned and went smoothly from start to finish. They always responded quickly to e-mails and provided relevant information. I highly recommend both the company and the package!

Off2Africa did everything we needed and wanted, planned well for us. We had a wonderful time.
As an ex-Zimbabwean, I had specific wants and needs like visits to familiar places, staying in familiar places and no real interest in visiting a game park. Off2Africa understood these wants and fulfilled our wishes in exactly the right manner. They got us into the places we wanted to see, gave us good advice on travel times and distances and in fact did all of the essential thinking and planning for us. Tifiny anticipated a number of our interests and proactively ensured we were aware of the options available. In fact I sent one e-mail to Off2Africa telling Tifiny she was "the best". One thing we learned - My US bank needed more information on the receiving bank than had been supplied. This caused some stress in meeting the payment deadline. The venues they chose of us included Big Cave at the Matopos, a wonderful choice as this is a sublime place. Shearwater Village at Vic Falls was also a good choice. I would happily recommend Off2Africa to others.

Wonderful experience booking with Off2Africa
My first inquiry about Gonarezhou to Off2Africa was met with a quick response and the agent provided insight into the area and suggested options for stopover since it was a long journey from Harare to Chiredzi and back, considering we had a two year old. The Agent also managed to get us a special package at Chilo Gorge Safari which resulted in us spending 3 amazing nights there. Off2Africa's level of communication is exceptional as emails are responded to promptly. I have booked with other agents before who were not as effective in their communication but from now on, I am sticking with Off2Africa. Thank you Craig and Tiffiny for the wonderful experience.

We had an even better experience this time round - if that was even possible. I think what made is so was the fact that, although still hot, it was not stifling like it was last year, therefore making afternoon naps and night time sleeping possible.
The fishing was also better.
We had an awesome first night game drive - with an exceptionally close encounter with a curious elephant, but didn’t really see much after that (because of the previous weeks rain I suspect).
Because of those heavy rains there was a lot more greenery around which gave the whole conservancy a much lusher feel.
Thanks again to the consultants at Off2Africa for facilitating, what we hope to make an annual treat!!

Amazing and efficient.
We contacted Off2Africa just a few days before we wanted to travel. They had less than a week to arrange flights, transfers, accommodation and experiences for two people on a tight budget. No problem they said.
Flight 1 done. Straight out of the airport to smiling driver waiting for us. First hotel was Victoria Falls Safari Lodge. Wow. Stunning accommodation. The views were to die for. The food was heavenly. We got to see the Victoria Falls, Boma Restaurant and we went into town to the market, an experience not to be missed. From there we were transported to Botswana as due to the rains game viewing in Zimbabwe was poor. Another amazing hotel. Chobe Safari Lodge. Here a game drive was organised. We were lucky enough to see Lions as well as loads of other game. The hotel room was gorgeous. River front and lots of animals to see from the room. The luxury we experienced was beyond our imagination. Finally we headed back to Zambia for an overnight stay to be ready for our short flight back to Cape Town. Here the company showed their sense of humour. After two luxurious stays on the trip we were staying in a tent. I was not impressed. Until I opened the door. Inside a four poster bed a beautiful bathroom just another example of luxury. We sat by the river relaxing and watching the hippos just feet away. The animal experience didn't stop there. The outdoor shower at 6am with a beautiful gheko was a highlight for me. Finally we were transported to the airport and flew back to our final three days in Cape Town before our return to the UK.
I cannot recommend Off2Africa more highly. They managed to organise everything in less than a week. They kept to our budget. Most importantly we could contact them night and day at anytime and whenever you spoke to them they were cheerful as well as being efficient.
If you are looking for a company to organise your trip don't hesitate use Off2Africa.

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