Joe , sorry for the disappointment from the person by the name Joseph. Let me assure you that he is not an employee of Mianzini , neither is he a partner. He is just a con and perpetrating as an employee of Mianzini. But currently Mianzini is not operating. Thank you.

Excellent service
Beck @ Off2Africa helped me organize a surprise 2-week vacation for my hubby’s 60th. First, I chose them after vetting 10+ travel agents. He was by far the most professional, genuinly caring about the importance of this trip, and finding the best balance between budget and the ‘wow’ effect. We went to South Africa and Mozambique after going through multiple packages Beck prepared for us. He is very knowledgeable of the area, has visited many of the lodges and resorts, and knows his stuff. If you are looking for an unforgettable trip, organized to perfection and receive royal treatment go with Off2Africa.

We had trouble getting our tickets due to an airline strike, but all is well! We have our tickets, and they are treating us to a Cape Town experience all on them for my birthday. We appreciate the effort and want to say thank you! We can’t wait to go and will be uploading pictures for everyone to see once we arrive.

Tony and Staff Are the Best!
We had a magical experience with Tony Mobile Safaris on a 9 day trip (8 nights, with 3 lodge and 5 camping) in Botswana in July, 2019. The wildlife, the camping, the food, the camaraderie with the two other couples on our trip…I can’t speak highly enough of our experience. It was truly the trip of a lifetime.
Tony is the real deal. You’ll get good communication and photos on WhatsApp, but no slick marketing material or fancy itineraries. Don’t worry, though, he’s a pro where it counts—with the wildlife. We saw amazing animals, birds, crocks...more than we could have hoped for. We were very well cared for. The whole experience was terrific.
We are used to tent camping, and to us, this felt like a luxury experience. Canvas tents with cots and a private latrine. We even had warm showers a couple of times. The friendly camp staff, Ben and Jackie, did all the setup, teardown, and cooking. Campfires awaited us every morning and evening. It felt like heaven. However, if you’re not a camper, know what you’re getting into. This isn’t “glamping,” so it might feel a bit rough to you. We loved it. Tony supplies the camping equipment, sleeping bag and pillow. Be sure you bring your own towel, soap, shampoo, toiletries.
We hit the jackpot with Tony and his guides. They were knowledgeable and friendly, and happy to share their wealth of information. Vincent and Jack, led our first and last day adventures—a mokoro expedition near Maun and a Chobe River cruise near Kasane. Both were fantastic. We saw so many animals from the perspective of the water. It was mesmerizing. Tony was our driver and leader during the mobile camping portion of the trip in Moremi, Savuti, and Chobe. He always found the animals, and had a passion for getting us up close with good camera angles and lighting. Each experience, each day, brought something new and different. Absolutely amazing, it was the experience of a lifetime.

Amazing experience in Tanzania
We really want to recommend Pooja Travels for their professionalism and seriousness. Our trip was incredible thanks to our driver and guide Godfrey who took care of the full family and showed us the most beautiful landscapes and wild life. His experience helped us a lot to see exceptional situations with as example cheetahs and lions hunting closer to us.
We enjoyed a lot this travel and many thanks to Pooja for its organization.

Trip of a lifetime!
I booked and planned our 10 day safari with Stacy. We stayed at three of Duma's camps - Kichuguu, Kiota and Chaka. They were all exceptional! Do bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper, or if you have a wild imagination. The animals make a lot of noise at night, but rest assured, the camps are very safe. Each and every staff member at all three camps were outstanding - we have never met such warm, welcoming and sincere individuals! Everyone was incredibly attentive, engaging and a delight to be around. The accommodations were beautiful ("glamping" is an understatement) and the food was delicious, but it was the staff that really made it special. I will also write individual reviews of each camp - but a big warm thank you to Charles and Jubilate at Kichuguu, Eric at Kiota and Godlisten and Amani at Chaka Extra!
The game viewing was incredible! Watching different animals of all ages interacting in their natural environment left us speechless. We saw jackal pups pop their heads out of their den, a 2 day old elephant learn to walk, a female lion try to entice a male lion to mate, hyenas hiding in the brush, wildebeest crossing the river, lion cubs playing, a baby hippo who's colouring had yet to change and was still bright pink, and so much more.... We strongly recommend tailoring your choice of parks based animals you are most interested in seeing. I love big cats and therefore chose to spend 5 nights in the Serengeti. A special thank you to our guide Isack who was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging and could spot a lion in the distance while driving 60km/hr down a dusty road! We shared some great stories and a lot of laughs during our time together.
I also want to point out that throughout my interactions with Stacy and our observations during our safari, Duma Explorer is truly dedicated to nature conservancy. Their guides are extremely respectful of the animals and their habitat. Unfortunately we observed other companies going off the road, chasing animals and driving far to close to them. Isack always stayed on the road and approached the animals quietly and slowly, making sure that both we and the animals were safe at all times.
After our safari, we flew from the Serengeti to Zanzibar and stayed at the Sunshine Marine Lodge. The on-site dive shop, DivePoint was excellent. Again, Stacy co-ordinated all of this for us and everything ran smoothly.
If you are looking to book a safari, look no further - Stacy and her team at Duma Explorer will ensure you have a trip of a lifetime! Stacy is incredibly responsive and made all the difference when we contacted her mid-safari with an issue. She resolved the situation quickly and effectively and even contacted us at that time to follow-up and again after our trip. Stacy truly cares about her clients and their experience.

The dust on my boots and the rhythm of my feet and my heartbeat say Africa
Words cannot express the joy, excitement and awe we felt. This was a life changing trip for my family and I . Thank you for all of the breath taking safaris, coordination, fun , delicious food, expertise of the Kanyezi teams and leadership such as Chris, Manie and Chip, life changing experiences petting a cheetah, feeding owls, holding a black eagle, friendship and fellowship with new friends. We would definitely go with this tour group again and again.

Hey Silas, the Kenya trip remains in my heart for ever and ever.
Silas, our guide, guided us perfectly. If you want to escape the stress of everyday life during your holiday, you must visit Kenya. I am still fascinated by the country and its natural beauty. I would recommend anyone to book through "free Africa Tours and Safaris". With Silas and his team almost every wish can be fulfilled.
