Offbeat Mara

"A truly wonderful safari"

4 nights Arrived 4 Oct 2019
"We had a wonderful stay at Offbeat.

The in house staff were so friendly and helpful and the guides knowledgeable. We saw much more wildlife than we expected including cheetah, lions and leopard!

We had delicious food and ended our stay with sundowners out under a tree watching the sun go down and then dinner under the stars and a Masai celebratory dance.

A huge thank you to everyone there."

Safari in Maasai Mara National Reserve

Safari in Maasai Mara National Reserve

"Excellent guiding and viewings"

6 Oct 2019 • All-day excursion

Joseph and Symon were an excellent partnership - we saw way more than we expected and Joseph always explaining everything clearly. He was very interesting about the history of the Masai.

Having breakfast out each day was a treat and always in a perfect spot. We had a new vehicle which was comfortable and easy to look out from.

They seemed to have a knack of knowing where the animals were and quite often we were the only vehicle there.

Victoria Falls Hotel

Victoria Falls Hotel

"A fabulous surprise at Vic Falls Hotel"

1 night Arrived 12 Apr 2012
"We have a lovely welcome and fabulous room here.

We were disappointed with the food-a bbq by the pool with live music and dancing. The dancing etc was good but a little tired and the food was definitely below what could be expected in a hotel of that standing."

Own arrangements - Bumi (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)

"A fabulous place for a wedding."

4 nights Arrived 13 Apr 2012
"This was a beautiful place and we were really well looked after.

it is difficult to gauge how it would have been had we not been wedding guests as obviously that was the main event. Having said that we still got game drives, great food and smiley faces all round."

Cutty Sark Hotel (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)

"Disappointing"

1 night Arrived 17 Apr 2012
"This was a real comedown. We had expected a change but not as drastic as this. We were surprised that this was on your books!

It obviously had been a great place a long time ago and now it needs a definite overhaul. It had a lovely view, spoilt by an overgrown tennis court and the room had this same view but no attantion to detail. No water, fridge, small uncomfortable bed, dirty looking bathroom."

"Wow-this was amazing!"

4 nights Arrived 18 Apr 2012
"We had a fantastic 4 nights here-upgraded to a honeymoon room with an outside bath with a view!! We loved it. Everyone was extremely welcoming and the guides knowledgeable about almost everything! We did every game drive there was and saw more animals than we expected and 4 of the Big 5.

We ate and drank around a large teak table which was a very sociable way to end the day and the food was delicious. Having been open for twenty years, or so, it felt traditional but not stuffy and there was great attention to detail."
