Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Tracey Braun
We spent the least time here. The highlight was seeing a baby rhino nursing.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Tracey Braun
Because of the lushness of Amboseli because of our timing, lots of birds. Was saw lions our first 5 minutes in the park. We had come for the elephants and were not disappointed. We saw Kilimanjaro every day we were there and got amazing photos. Amboseli felt lik we had the place to ourselves.

Amazing - Bucket list checked. Unmissable experience
We were picked up at Joburg airport and the journey to Kruger is not short. We went on a 9 seat van that was ok, but the journey is very long and had 3 stops.
At last, we arrive at our lodge and there were hippos bathing in the lake in front and elephants around. There were so many animals... We were so excited that we forgot the long journey in 10 seconds. The swimming pool is essential in the lodge because the heat in the middle of the day is unbearable.
We did a sunset Safari and we saw lots of animals: Impalas, Zebras, Elephants, Rhinos and Hyenas and when it got dark we were the only ones in the road with 2 big flashlights searching for more animals.
In the next day our guide ask us for our expectation, and we ask to go look for the cats. He did it, we saw lions and even a leopard eating an impala and climbing a tree to eat it. It was amazing.
After lunch it was too hot and all the animals were hidden in the bush so I would recommend a morning and afternoon safari if possible instead of an all-day safari.
In the second day it was even more impressing with lions crossing the roads and even a fight between a lion and a lioness 15 meters away from us. We saw a one week elephant so clumsy.. And so many other things. We loved it.

Trip of a lifetime
We decided to book our Kenya experience ourselves and not use a travel agency in Canada. The safari bookings website was a great help.
I send off e-mails to several companies and only heard back from a few. Tropical Vacations from the start was great at communicating and finding out what we wanted.
What we had thought we wanted and what we ended up with, we could not have been more thrilled.
We ended up with 6 days and 5 nights of the best time ever.
We managed to see Amboseli, Masa Mari and a few other parks.
We saw Kilimanjaro At sunrise and sunset. We saw the big 5 and came home with over 2,000 photos.
Matthew from Tropical Vacation met the needs of the three of us. One person in our group is a birder and he made sure she got to see many new birds to add to her list.
We are glad we followed his advise to upgrade our accommodation as we heard after some of the places we had picked were pretty rough. We did not go luxury and for the fraction extra we paid for mid luxury and to be a private group of three was well worth the small extra.
We thought this would be our onetime trip Africa, but we are already talking about going back.

Amazing Tanzania Safari with Daniel
The safari was amazing, it was a completely different holiday we never did before. The pick up on the airport took a bit but the driver was very friendly and the hotel was fine. The next day it was quick to the border and once meeting our guide Daniel and the jeep at the border, it became amazing. Daniel was an amazing guide, so friendly, so knowledgeable and he asked us the right questions. We were not interested to get off path or need to see something specific. We had an amazing time just driving around and seeing so many animals.
The route was great, first in Tarangire and then Serengeti. We loved Tarangire, so simple to see so many different animals and great places to stay. In Serengeti we really enjoyed the longer drives, see some more animals and the tented camps were amazing. The only camp which was a bit disappointing was Angata Camp in Ngorongoro.
Overall, the food was amazing, the travel amazing and the guide Daniel. The jeep was really big, so much space but in great condition. Which was necessary in the long drives to the Serengeti North and back. Although the drives were a couple of hours, it was totally worth it as the migration was an amazing spectacle to see.

Perfect holiday - Excellent service - Can't wait to use them again
I can wholeheartedly recommend booking with Off2Africa Travel. We got in contact with them trying to organise a Botswana Safari and finding everything was fully booked. After some hunting around, with great communications on what they achieve so far, they managed to put together a custom trip involving separate hotels and flights. All with availability and at a much cheaper price than we were finding.
Tifiny was a pleasure to deal with, answering all our questions quickly and with no issue at all. Paying them was easy, you always have some worry when you are transferring money to someone you have only dealt with online, but the transfer took no time at all and Tifiny quickly confirmed that they have received it.
The hotels they found for us for amazing. They really were something special and not your usual run of the mill hotels. It was obvious they chose hotels which suited what we wanted to do and ensured we had great variety in our trip.
I really can't stop recommending Off2Africa Travel and without doubt will use them the next time we organise a trip to Africa. Please don't hesitate in contacting them as they will put effort in finding the perfect holiday for you.
