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 :)

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.

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.

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.
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.

Very professional and always on hand
My family had an unforgettable experience on our safari trip which included Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana. Diane created an itinerary which incorporated all our wishes and priorities; she booked us superb lodgings as well as reliable transport and was always on hand and professional.
The safari trip itself was truly a once in a lifetime experience for all the members of my family. We were all amazed by the natural beauty and the wildlife of the savannah. The highlight of our trip was seeing the wonderful Namib Desert, gorgeous Victoria Falls and the free roaming wild animals in their natural habitat all while being extremely close to them. I would definitely recommend Discover Africa Safaris and would gladly book with them again.

Discover Africa’s expertise and outstanding service created an unforgettable trip.
We had an excellent experience with Discover Africa!!! Matthys was our agent, and he is very knowledgeable and thoughtful, and spent a lot of time planning with us, both through zoom and email, to make sure our custom itinerary was spot-on. The trip was incredible! Exactly what we dreamed of for a first-time Africa experience. We visited Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park, the Okavango Delta, and Cape Town. All of the accommodations and guides were wonderful and all of the travel arrangements were smooth. We highly recommend Matthys and Discover Africa!

Authentic Safari Experience
I felt safe throughout my safari experience under the management of Discover Africa Safaris and I was also able to experience the wildlife in the bush up close. I paid slightly more for comfort in a premium safari but there are also cheaper alternate options.

My first Safari wonder was absolutely memorable with Matthy's expert arrangement
My experience was wonderful. Matthys helped us to plan the trip to see great wildebeest migration. The timing was planned perfectly, the trip arranged in detail. In addition, Matthys always answered our questions timely and expertly before and during our trip. Each camp we stayed was beautiful with friendly staff. The Cliff is highly recommended with stunning views of the lake.

A dream trip to Africa
We had a unforgettable time in Botswana and South Africa! Everything was well organized by Diane from Discover Africa!
Great Lodges and all was always in time.
We loved the animals/ game drives, the guides, landscapes and people.
It was one of the best experiences of our lives.
