Best experience from start to finish
We took part in a 5 day “joining tour”. This meant that the tour companies put together people in the same vehicle who are going to the same places as to minimize the number of empty seats (and make it affordable for us). We ended up loving our group for the first 3 days! We all camped in Ngorongoro crater rim and Serengeti and it was stunning! We saw the “big 5” the first two days!
GUIDE: Our guide, Freddy, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We got two flat tires and every tour operator stops to help each other which makes for very quick fixes! I love the camaraderie.
FOOD: The food was AWESOME. Davis was our chef. He makes multi-course meals 3 times a day and cleans everything! We came to learn he’s only 18 years old. Such a talent! We had things I didn’t know could be cooked in the bush- pizza, quiche, tarts, au-gratin potatoes, beef, and the most amazing soups (different every day)! Seriously, after the lions, I was most impressed with the food.
FLEXIBILITY: We ended up being exhausted the last day and decided to change our itinerary from Lake Manyara to Materuni waterfall because we were told the animals had migrated away from the lake. That really gave us a chance to diversify our trip too! Joel was our guide and he was fantastic. He taught us about plans and coffee on our 5 km round trip hike to the falls. He took great pics too! My shoes were broken at the falls and he lent me a hand on the hike back which I so appreciated.
OVERALL: This company is well coordinated. The director was very responsive via WhatsApp, constantly letting me know changes as they occurred or helping us adjust our itinerary. Bonus: he even came to our hotel to ensure we were happy with everything. We are so happy with our experience and highly recommend them!

Elite service to create a trip of a lifetime
Discover Africa Safaris provided elite service from start to finish. After explaining what I was looking for in a safari trip, and my approximate budget, I received multiple itinerary options within 12 hours. Not only was each itinerary reflective of exactly the preferences I had set, but (1) every single accommodation option was amazing (2) a few options I had not found anywhere else during my own hours of research (3) the online itineraries themselves were extremely informational and user-friendly. I cross-referenced the prices provided with each itinerary with what they would be had I booked everything individually myself, and found them to be comparable.
After booking the trip, Megan at Discover Africa provided extremely helpful information (a travel tip and packing document, confirmation vouchers, an emergency contact number) and would check in every so often to make sure I didn't have questions. Her communication was always helpful and never overbearing or spam-like, as I have experienced with other operators.
And finally, the trip itself: absolutely extraordinary. It is one that will stick with me for the rest of my life and it was 100% a result of using DiscoverAfrica. I will use them again whenever I come back, and have already sent out their information to friends and family. I highly recommend their services, you will not find anything better.

Wonderful experience!!
I initially booked for 3 days but I ended up extending 4 days. Lake nakuru is so worth it!! We were able to see white rhinos.
I would like to do a special mention to Moses, the guy is so knowledgeable and provided us the best experience we could get during the safari.
Masaai mara also beautiful, and the other guide also took us to see most of the wildlife. I'm fully satisfied with the experience, thank you so much!!

Unique experience.
I booked the 6 days safari with Hyrax. A unique and incredible experience.
Roselyne always ready to answer any possible questions. The first camp was worse than I expected, but the second was much better. The hotel was acceptable.
The best thing about the tour was the driver guide Simon. Always ready for any question, always attentive to the animals and the road.

Amazing Safari! Hands down, would do it again!
Literally did not have to think about anything. Everything was taken care of and was so easy. All you have to do is show up. They picked us up at our hotel in Nairobi. Our tour guide and driver, Aruni was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and could spot them from meters away. He knew how to position the van so we could have a really great view of the animals. Accommodations were budget friendly and to be expected. We went on a safari to see animals, and we got to see a lot of them plus some baby animals as well.

I had a full day Safari to Arusha National Park, including a 2 hours walking safari. We saw buffalos, many giraffes, colobus monkeys, warthogs in a wonderful landscape with Mount Meru in the distance. The packed lunch was delicious and the guide very helpful. Pick up from and drop off at Hotel was punctual Good Landcruiser Safari vehicle. Value for money was good.
