301 redirect via .htaccess

I want to redirect from http://example.com/contact-us to http://example.com/contact-us/offices
I have written following line in my .htaccess:

Redirect 301 /contact-us/ http://example.com/contact-us/offices

But when I visit to http://example.com/contact-us then it redirects to http://example.com/contact-us/offices/offices/offices/offices/offices/offices/offices/offices/offices/offices/offices/offices/offices/offices/offices/offices/offices/

You are using this rule:

Redirect 301 /contact-us/ http://example.com/contact-us/offices

That is redirecting every URL that starts with /contact-us/ new URL that is /contact-us/offices. Since redirecting URL also starts with /contact-us/ therefore redirect will happen again and again causing a redirect loop. In order to avoid this situation use RedirectMatch that has regex support so that you can control the matching pattern.

RedirectMatch 301 ^/contact-us/?$ http://example.com/contact-us/offices

Don't forget to clear your browser cache before testing this change.

If you are redirecting to same host use below rule and then after clearing cache try this url to reach http://example.com/contact-us/ use forward slash too.

Redirect 301 /contact-us/ /contact-us/offices/
