Reviews
We thought we would only do this once, but their services proved us wrong.
This is the second "once-in-a-lifetime" trip we've booked through Adelle at Discover Africa--and it won't be the last. Her knowledge of the available tours/lodges/details created very memorable trips. Having to translate our expectations and lack of knowledge of safaris and the various regions into a customized trip with unique and enjoyable experiences could not have been easy, but she's made it seem so.
Our first trip introduced us to Capetown, Sabi Sands, and Kruger. From the at-airport welcome for initial transportation, to various flights, and at-lodge customized details (e.g., special meal needs), the itinerary and connections were flawless. The length of stays was discussed and Adelle's recommendations for each proved exactly what we needed. Even shifting our trip one week on her recommendation enabled us to avoid very heavy seasonal travel from Europe that we were unaware of. In-country/in-continent knowledge coupled with a deep experience with planning travel proved invaluable.
Our second safari experience involved several lodges (with airport-to lodges-to airport transportation) in various locations (Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa). Each provided unique aspects of the safari experience, and (again) the recommended length of stays for each was spot on.
We have thoroughly enjoyed our travel as arranged by Adelle, and are developing plans for another trip. We've discussed alternative levels of accommodations, and her knowledgeable responses related to differences between all-inclusive luxury vs. non-inclusive high-quality convinced us to again trust her planning for wonderful experiences of a lifetime.
We would recommend Adelle's and Discover Africa's travel services without hesitation and regularly provide their contact information to friends, family, and others who are interested in discovering Africa in a most beautiful, intimate, personal, and respectful way.

Kenya-Tanzania Safari travel by land
On the whole I would rate the safari as terrific. It exceeded our expectations. All of the properties that we overnighted in were excellent. My favorites were the Mara West Camp in Kenya and the Katikati Camp in the Serengeti. But these were difficult choices. There were no bad ones! This was a land safari with no in country air travel. All of the drivers (4) went out of their way to make the safari as enjoyable as possible. In fact we observed some wildlife events in Kenya that we might well have missed were it not for the drivers diligence. As far as wildlife is concerned the experience in Kenya was more satisfying than that in Tanzania probably due to the time of the year and migration status.
There was one glitch at the very beginning. Arrival times in Nairobi were not communicated to the local staff resulting in a confused start to the safari.

Go to for great experiences without worries!!
My enthusiasm to contact Discover Africa for designing a custom tour across Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia were the numerous positive reviews and certainly they excelled in offering me a truly well-made Itinerary! So this will be yet another glowing review for Discover Africa. Vihann was my point-of-contact and designed my tour, listened to all my needs and patiently adjusted things as I asked for. In any case what was offered in terms of the lodges (I went to luxury end) were already unquestionably good and exciting. It seems Discover Africa understands the needs of the clients well, as far my experience goes. The entire Itinerary was outstanding and on-ground experience exactly reflected what was promised!!.
On the whole, it was truly a smooth experience without worries. Everything was organized from point-to-point and everyone made sure, I was transitioned between activities, flights, countries, lodges safely, so it goes without saying that using them was a good value for money.

Organizer of an Epic Trip
Highly recommend Chrizaan as a resource for arranging a safari trip. She found us some outstanding accommodations, put together the whole package for us, and reacted quickly mid trip when some flight disruptions meant transport pick ups had to be rearranged. Botswana is spectacular. Definitely worth going into the Okavanga Delta to get the genuine safari experience.

Easy to talk to, they know what they are doing, profesional attention, good service with kind staff.
I found Discover Africa in Google and it was a great option. Adelle's attention was the best and all our plans for the Gorilla Trekking and Golden Monkeys in Rwanda went well! Keba, the guide that was assigned to us in Rwanda, was also very nice and kind! We had such an amazing time, it was an unforgettable experience! I really will recommend this travel agency :)

Top notch service with affordable prices
We looked into several different travel coordinators to plan our trip to South Africa, and Discover Africa not only had great customer service, but the best prices. We thought the pricing would mean the places weren't as nice as other options, but this was by far the most luxe trip we've ever been on. Diane was so helpful in the process, even jumping on a video call with us to finalize the details.
We had the trip of a lifetime and wouldn't have been able to do it without Discover Africa!
The best tour operator
If you want luxury and comfort. You must work with this tour operator. It can't be better than this! Amazing experience. Adelle was amazing, we had an easy booking and planning experience.

Communication was excellent, Susan knew her stuff and provided a wealth of information.
I found my experience with Discover Africa Safaris to be a very pleasant one. I took a 5 night Maasai Mara safari in Kenya. Communication was first class from the get go, my questions were answered quickly and precisely, with lots of information available. Pick up from my Nairobi hotel to my destination in the Maasai Mara and return went perfectly. The tour itself was superb with the Great Migration just commencing and animals everywhere!! It was a once in a lifetime safari! Would thoroughly recommend to every traveler.
