but to all areas & aspects of our beautiful country.
- We want to encourage everyone in the travel trade booking safaris to Zimbabwe
to work through objective, home-based operators in the country, such as ourselves.

Experience Africa Safaris is a small owner run and operated company based in Harare Zimbabwe. The Managing Director was born and bred in Zimbabwe and has a passion for every corner of this superb destination.
We like to keep our guests off the beaten track and show you the small owner run safaris and “lodges with personality” and match each destination to your specific requirements and budget. We promise to keep visiting, searching and finding those best kept secrets – all with the aim of passing the best experiences on to you and ensuring you get up-close and personal with the African bush and its vast variety of wildlife, personalities, beauty and birdlife.
We believe that a day on safari is rich with sights, smells, sounds and the emotions they give rise to. It’s not all about the thread count of the sheets and crystal chandeliers, or even about racing around the bush ticking animals and birds off a list. Look up, see, smell and experience!
A safari is an opportunity to reclaim time for ourselves and just BE. If you would like to remind yourself what a real safari should feel like, try us, we’ll help you Experience it!

Beck Edwards – Director, started Off2Africa back in 2001. Growing up on the edge of Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe captivated his childhood with the wonder of Africa’s wildlife and how it truly restores the soul.
Privilege has allowed him to travel extensively in Southern and East Africa and quotes "I can honestly say its impossible to tire of the amazing, contrasting continent that Africa is! Its thrilling to offer the opportunity of safaris to others from across the planet and I am deeply convicted that tourism is critical to Africa’s unemployment and poverty. "
