Great Service
I went on safari in Kruger Park with Eddy the Happy Chappy, he was very funny and joyful. Made the trip a lot of fun.

An unforgettable experience! Cannot recommend highly enough
This 3 day safari was everything I expected and so much more. Everything from start to finish was arranged specifically for us including an overnight stay in Arusha, and a complementary drive back to Moshi afterwards. This meant we could relax throughout and simply feel at home with the incredible animals on Safari. We saw 4 of the big 5 (just missing the leopard) thanks to our incredible guide, Damian, who was eagle-eyed and always very happy to share his extensive knowledge about the amazing fauna in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. He was experienced and enthusiastic, and was always there for any queries at the camps as well. He spotted a rhino on our last day, and we saw lion cubs in the Serengeti, both of which are very rare sightings. It was such a privilege to be so close to these apex predators, and an elephant and lioness came so close to our her at some points that we could have touched them!
Both camps were beautiful, comfortable, and we felt very welcome. We were also fed superbly with freshly cooked hot meals by our chef, Saleem 3x a day. This was the best food I’ve had in Tanzania and even included our requested ugale!
The jeep was comfortable, equipped for everything on safari, and high up with an open top so that you could spot the animals very easily and from any seat. We could use Damian’s two pairs of binoculars. We had cold water at all times and places to charge our phones/digital cameras in the jeep.
I would highly recommend this company if you want to have a fun, animal-filled, and authentic Safari experience.
Top tips:
- Bring toilet paper for the seronera campsite in central Serengeti
- prepare o get dusty on the Serengeti plains (wear appropriate clothes and shoes)
- bring a warm jacket for the night in ngorongoro if you are going in their winter time

Incredible safari to see Big 5
Boniface tailored a beautiful safari adventure with stays at exclusive lodges while we visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Extremely happy with Simon (Safari monster) our driver guide who was patient, fun, warm with good knowledge and keen eyesight to spot wildlife. Lost count of lions and lionesses we saw. Loved the herds of elephants and zebras and wildebeest. Enjoyed the hippos, giraffes, buffaloes and countless herbivores. We were thrilled by 8 cheetahs and 2 leopards. Only the black rhino was far away in Ngorongoro. I guess we will be back again to catch the rhino. Thank you.

Poor Safari experience
First, regarding the full-day safari, The contract mentioned a full-day Safari, but what Patrick provided was not a full day. Patrick took us out daily from 8 AM to 4 PM, or from 8 AM to 12 PM and then from 4 PM to 6 PM. He said this was the park's requirement. However, as far as I know, other drivers booked through your company were out from 8 AM to 6 PM, or from 7 AM to 12 PM with lunch in the park and then from 4 PM to 7 PM. This does not align with your promise of a full-day Safari. Patrick’s actions were a significant breach of our agreement. He misrepresented the concept of a full-day safari, depriving us of valuable morning and evening game drive opportunities.
Except for Amboseli, where we stayed 2 km from the park, we were lodged inside the parks at Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Ol Pejeta. Therefore, we had ample time for full-day safaris, with no valid reason to return to the lodge early. Yet, Patrick insisted on bringing us back by 4 PM, citing non-existent park regulations. In contrast, other guides from your company provided a genuine full-day safari experience to their clients.
Second, while safaris are inherently unpredictable, this does not excuse a lack of skill in animal spotting. Our reduced game viewing time, confined mostly to the less active midday hours, undoubtedly decreased our chances of seeing animals. Given your extensive experience, you surely understand this impact better than I do.
Third, on the last day, Patrick refused our request to visit the Maasai market, citing safety concerns, theft, and distance, although our map indicated it was less than 30 minutes away and we had sufficient time.
Moreover, we learned that Patrick’s previous Chinese clients faced similar issues, such as being short-changed on safari duration, poor animal spotting, and being taken to overpriced souvenir shops.
We initially chose Africa Celebrity based on your reputed excellence. However, we are deeply disappointed by not only Patrick’s actions but also your company's failure to take responsibility and address these issues effectively.
Trust and respect are reciprocal, and regrettably, we did not feel either.
I hope no one else has to endure the dissatisfaction we faced due to a poor choice of safari provider.

The safari provider with the best price-performance ratio
First of all, a big compliment to our tour guide Richard. He drove us through the six days with his calm and confident manner and was able to show us all the animals (including lions, cheetahs, leopards and rhinos). The hotels: Mara Chui Lodge in the Masai Mara was good, the Lake Nakuru hotel was excellent and the Tremisana Lodge hotel in Amboseli was very good. I can only recommend the Big Time Safari, especially as their prices are very reasonable. Well done! Thank you for the great holiday!

Great Kruger Day Safari with Mo Africa
I had a great experience with Mo Africa. Firstly, they were accommodating and listening. I made a mistake with my booking; they sorted it out professionally. The communication was clear; what they stated, pick ups and drop offs, were done. Secondly, the safari was excellent. My guide was Lambs, who knew where and how we could see wild animals, shared his knowledge with us, and allowed us enough time to observe animals and enjoy the views. The day was worth and long enough. We're fortunate to see a white lion, lions, giraffes, zebras, elephants, rhinos in the distance, a wild dog, wild beasts, antelopes, kudu, hippos, crocodiles, mongoose, many different birds.

Fabulous and knew exactly what we wanted !
My husband and I were delighted with Chloe and Off2Africa , we described on email what our plans were and what we wanted to experience on our trip to South Africa . Chloe was really good at communicating and offering options for our trip. The selections of Lukimbi Lodge in Kruger and Old Drift Lidge in Zimbabwe were excellent . We loved them both the staff and Safari and excursions were amazing . All our internal flights and transfers were so smooth , was a trip of a lifetime would totally recommend xx
