'How I got on..it is hard to put into words! I really had the best holiday of my life. It was such an intense experience being in the Mara for the whole week, sitting in the saddle all day long, sleeping in a tent in the wilderness, listening to all the strange noises, riding all day long and seeing more game than we ever hoped for. The guides were fabulous and fun, the food was amazing, the staff so caring and if there were not so many restrictions on importing horses form Africa to Europe I would have tried to take my horse home with me. Thank you so much for finding this trip for me and for organising it so well. I am one truly very happy customer!'

'The guides are excellent (great on horseback, fantastic hosts, good people skills). The mix of camps with different surroundings, and fantastic animal viewing. For me, one of the highlights is definitely the relaxed homely atmosphere while being in luxury camps'.

''It is a ride for the riding fit, experienced & adventurous due to the long hours in the saddle & sometimes quite close encounters with elephants, lions & hippos. Simon was someone I completely trusted to lead the ride safely & away from danger whenever necessary. Daisy & Laura both brilliant & always on hand to ensure we were well looked after'

'Just a quick note to say that it was the most amazing week and we all had the best time imaginable. Miranda, Daisy and Simon are the perfect hosts. We had a brilliant group and enjoyed lots of social fun. We saw everything we could have wished to see - the wildlife was out of this world. It was a dream and simply could not have been better. We loved every minute and are so grateful to the Offbeat team for making it such an outstanding exciting and fun experience. We truly loved it.'

'It was as brilliant as ever. We were incredibly lucky with the game viewing. On the way to camp from the airstrip we saw a cheetah and two cubs, then when we got to camp and went to see the horses, there was a leopard sauntering past! Of course we saw all the other expected game over the week. Simon and Daisy were superb hosts, and the whole team as excellent and diligent as ever'
