Amazing guides and fair prices
We went on a 5 day safari with Serengeti Smile and we loved every moment of it.
We visited Tarangire, South and Central Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide Champion and his intern/lookout Dominic kept telling us that safari is all about luck, but the two of them seemed to have an awful lot of luck. With them we managed to see 2 leopards, 3 black rhinos, 7 cheetahs, 20+ lions including 4 cubs, 150+ elephants and giraffe as well as 1000s of wilderbest, zebra and gazelle.
The car was a Toyota Landcrusier with a removable roof for better watching and sockets for recharging phones etc. as well as a small fridge in the back stocked with water and coke.
We stayed in tented lodges in Serengeti and at a lodge outside Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Everywhere we got great service and great food. On the safari we got served lunch boxes with fruit, local food and a small desert. Always plenty and always tasty.
Champion and Dominic made sure that our wishes were heard but was also not afraid to tell us "let's move on now, something interesting has been spotted up ahead". They took responsibility for our experience and was very attentive to our preferences and made sure to look out for animals we were especially interested in. Moreover they knew a lot of interesting facts about birds, animals and flora.
Overall an A+ experience that can't be recommended highly enough.
For the 5 days (4 nights) we paid 3620 USD excluding tip for 2 people. We transferred the money via bank transfer before arriving and we had no issues. Our contact person was Erick, who answered all our questions in an expedient manner.
Ps. If you fly out on a domestic flight, consider leaving from Arusha Airport instead of Kilimanjaro since it is much closer to the national parks.

Excellent and reliable
The whole experience was amazing! From the start, Samuel was very responsive and open to customize the trip to our needs, arranging us the perfect weekend at the Massai Mara. Also, our tour guide, David, was excellent; he was very well trained for the tour, was very open to every need we had and gave us a better experience of what we imagined. Thank you for all the excellent job done!

Thank you very much
Without the crew, the trip would not be feasible, but what sets them apart are their inspiring tales and will to help you reach the top. Their willingness to share personal stories. The trip was even more special as a result. They treated me like a dada (sister), and I felt totally at ease traveling alone as a woman.

Good itinerary organised by Simon and Tatenda who were very helpful and communicative throughout
We went on the Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia trip - great, varied itinerary over a such a short period of time and collecting four stamps in your passport!
Everyone involved in the entire process were great - on time, reliable and knowledgable. The two hotels were lovely and appropriate for the cost.
Thanks Tatenda and Simon!

Expertise in planning memorable and unique experiences with excellent customer service
We had a great experience planning our holiday with Discover Africa Safaris, and especially with Diane. She set up an inital Zoom call to help understand our wishes for planning a memorable first time on safari. She was flexible and found ways to adjust the itinerary when I asked about changes (e.g., swapping out a portion of the holiday, adding a private tour, etc.). When we found ourselves ill during the trip, Diane was a lifesaver. We had to change a portion of our itinerary and she did it all promptly which was such a relief, allowing us to relax and get better before our safari portion of the trip started. It would have been such a pain if we would have had to manage ourselves. She even coordinated with the hotel to send a doctor to our room. On a whole, all the hotel bookings were excellent - great locations, rooms, and breakfast options. Our transfers were always on time and made getting around so convenient. The safari was certainly the highlight and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We saw so many animals on game drives, and even from our room. The staff and service, including food, was fantastic. I know we'll want to have another safari experience in the future and will come back to booking with Discover Africa Safaris.

Perfect service
Outstanding service and responsiveness before and during the safari. The meals on the trip were all fresh cooked. I have never experienced such a quality of the lunch on the road. Excellent driver and good quality of the car. The price/quality relation is the best I have ever experienced. Animal sightings are always depending very much on luck. We had many great sightings in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
