OFF THE TRACK’S LOCAL KNOWLEDGE FUELS BESPOKE LUXURY TRAVEL IN SOUTHERN AFRICA

For travellers seeking a truly transformative African safari, Off the Track, a distinguished luxury destination management company (DMC), is redefining the travel experience. Established in 2012 and led by Zimbabwean local Robyn Whaley, the company’s foundation is rooted in a profound passion for the wildlife, people, and breathtaking landscapes of Southern Africa.

Off the Track specializes in crafting bespoke, tailor-made journeys that move beyond standard itineraries. Their commitment is to deliver not just a vacation but an immersive adventure, ensuring every detail reflects the unique essence of clients’ journeys.

Whaley, who was born and raised in Zimbabwe and returned to her roots after extensive global and industry travel, embodies the deep local knowledge that sets the company apart.

The core of Off the Track’s service lies in its team of specialists, whose firsthand, extensive local knowledge is unrivalled. They are the authority on Southern African travel, meticulously curating trips to align with a client’s preferences, interests, and budget. This commitment to detail elevates a holiday from “good” to an “exceptional, almost life-changing” one.

The team ensures access to exclusive places and experiences, introducing clients to the highlights of the region in a distinct light. This is made possible by their dedication to perfection: continuously traveling to assess destinations, scout new locales, and vet lodges and camps for superior guiding, service, and stunning sightings.

Key team members further solidify this expertise. Sarah Cronje, a Travel Consultant with over eight years of experience managing lodges in Hwange and Matusadona, brings a meticulous planning approach and all-round understanding of Zimbabwean travel. Sarah White, a Victoria Falls local, has literally lived in the tourism industry since birth, leveraging her deep knowledge of the area to curate unforgettable Southern African journeys.

While Off the Track specializes across Southern Africa—including Botswana and Zambia—Zimbabwe remains its favourite destination. The country offers some of Africa’s most exclusive wildlife, the continent’s largest waterfall (Victoria Falls), and four UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Zimbabwe is a premier luxury safari destination, celebrated for its world-class guiding standards and the opportunity for uncrowded, intimate wilderness experiences. National Parks like Hwange and Mana Pools offer extraordinary wildlife viewing, including the Big Five and large packs of African wild dogs, often without the high tourism density of neighbouring countries. The country is also renowned for pioneering some of the best walking safaris in Africa.

Off the Track invites travellers to embark on an extraordinary journey, guided by the assurance that every element is expertly managed.
