Day 1
If you're coming from Johannesburg's airport, you'll fly just 1 hour into KMIA Kruger Mpumalanga Airport and be met by a representative who will transfer you to Idube Game Reserve. Check in and relax in your safari chalet before the afternoon game drive. Please note that rates include a fixed flight budget; if flights cost more, your quote will reflect this. Idube has won numerous awards and is located in the heart of the Sabi Sands Reserve, famous for predators and Big Five wildlife. There are no fences between Kruger NP and Sabi Sand Reserve. Sabi Sand is a private reserve, and off-road game viewing is allowed to maximize the quality of your sightings. Return to the lodge in the early evening and enjoy an excellent dinner and shared stories from the day's sightings.

Day 2
Awake to the sounds of the wild savannah. Explore Sabi Sand Reserve with your guide on an early morning drive or guided walk. Take time to appreciate not just the larger mammals but the great diversity of wildlife, birdlife, reptiles and flora during your experiences. Your guide will intrigue you with the astonishing connections in these ecosystems and the conservation steps the reserve has taken to protect its superb wildlife offering. Return to the lodge for lunch. You can have a siesta in the middle of the day and relax by the pool (depending on the weather), enjoy the hide overlooking the resident waterhole, or even go to the gym. Once again, in the late afternoon, we set out for another exciting game drive, sundowners and campfire stories back at the lodge, and a sumptuous dinner.

Day 3
Settle into day 3 of your safari at Idube and enjoy the entertaining connection you now have with your guide as you explore once more the various areas of this superb private reserve, Every day brings new sights and experiences. Please consider enjoying a bush walk with your guide if you haven't yet had one. To walk in the wild is to slow down, touch, smell, hear, and even taste the African savannah as your guide unfolds so much that is happening in it daily. Once more, at Idube, enjoy the various experiences on offer back in camp, including the resident hide, where you can see animals come down to drink, or read by the pool in the heat of the day. It's your last afternoon game drive today. Savor the sunset and your sightings. Later, around the campfire, celebrate your safari with others and your guide and reflect on not only what you've seen but also what you've learned as you've immersed yourself in this prime wildlife paradise.

5.0/5From the outset we had an outstanding service from Claire. She tailored a trip to meet our needs, and made sure it was relatively close to our budget. We had a seamless transfer to the Okavango Delta, starting with a thorough briefing by our driver, and plenty of drinks for the journey. Our drive from Maun to Amber River Lodge in the delta was an adventure in itself, stopping to see the flora and fauna. The lodge absolutely blew us away, we had an amazing time. We had a very knowledgeable guide, Rati, we saw so many wild animals, birds, and the landscape is like paradise. We definitely had luxury accommodation, delicious food, wonderful activities. It was heart wrenching to leave. We had another seamless transfer to the Chobe River, we stayed at Jackalberry. Another stunning lodge. Great pool areas in both to unwind after safari. So close to the national park. We saw elephants, hippos, crocodiles in the water. Also a wide range of land animals and birds. There were beautiful sunsets and sunrises at both sites. We always arrange our own trips but just this once it was nice to have it arranged from start to finish. Claire went the extra mile to make this a memory for a lifetime.

Bec and his team, listened to all of our interests and requirements and put together the best African safari we have ever completed. The entire trip was flawless from start to finish. Bec tailored the trip to exactly what we wanted, many things were managed and planned that we were unaware of how complex they would be until we under took the trip. The process of arranging land transfers across different country borders, was seamless and something that would have been difficult to arrange. As it happened the transportation was safe and perfectly managed with the local knowledge of the team. Bec also checked in on us during our trip. The best, and only decision, we needed to make for the best safari we have ever had, was to select Off2Africa to organise the entire trip.

We had a wonderful 3 countries trip to Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. It leaves us with marvelous memories. We were stunned by the good organization of our tour operator, Robyn. The communication was excellent. Transfers were smooth, efficient and drivers always on times at the several meeting points. Lodges were very good and we saw plenty of game despite travelling in low season. We highly recommend Off2Africa and would definitely travel with them again. Of course, these trips are never cheap but it was good value for money considering the upper level lodges and the many transfers, including a return flight to Hwange National Parks as well as the many long game drives with professional guides.

We chose Off2Africa for our Botswanan adventure after careful consideration and was impressed with the care and attention Sian Edwards and Emma paid to not only the arrangements but keeping us informed of any changes due to the weather conditions. We felt looked after from the moment we arrived at Maun airport until the time we left. We visited 3 lodges - preferring to stay 3 nights at both Camp Moremi and Savuti - in the hope of seeing 'big cats' and we were not disappointed. We watched a pride of lions enjoying their kill; lion cubs playing with each other; cheetahs chasing a possible kill and a leopard quietly walking along the track ahead of us. It was amazing how close we came to the lions and a family of hyenas as they walked quietly around the safari truck! The lodges were very similar in terms of luxury, comfort and service but also very different in that Camp Okavango was primarily boat and walking safaris which gave us a different perspective from the motorised safaris- we stood only 100 metres from 2 male lions as they sat on a raised area looking for prey. All the staff we met on the trip were friendly, helpful and we especially loved the warm welcomes we received at each camp. Our guides were first rate. We wouldn't hesitate to travel to Botswana again and would certainly contact Off2Africa for any future safari trips.
