DESCRIPTION
It takes years of experience to establish a safari company that can genuinely claim to take people to true wilderness areas of Africa whilst maintaining the high standards of the old traditional safaris. After 20 years operating safaris in Kenya, Offbeat Safaris can proudly say they have achieved this. Offbeat Safaris have a collection of unique camps and lodges in the Masai Mara, Meru National Park, The Great Rift Valley and in the Laikipia region of Northern Kenya as well as organising Africa's most exciting mobile horse riding safaris.Why we love Offbeat: The Offbeat properties, including two small tented safari camps and two colonial estates, combine to offer a fantastic safari circuit in Kenya totally away from the crowds, with some of the country’s best guides and charming hosts. Further, with one of the most efficient bookings offices we’ve seen in Kenya, the Offbeat team is a joy to work with.TRANSCRIPT
