Discover Africa: 2024 World Luxury Travel Award Winner

We are so pleased to announce that Discover Africa is the regional winner in the Southern Africa Safari category for 2024!

The safari tours we plan and facilitate across Southern Africa stood out for a number of reasons, including:

HerdTracker

A balloon safari of the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Masai Mara in Kenya

Our Africa Migration Tracking platform, HerdTracker, provides live updates from rangers and guides in safari destinations about the wildebeest migration across Kenya and Tanzania.

This allows us to secure last-minute accommodations and experiences for travellers who want to witness the exodus firsthand and have the best migration safari possible.

We pride ourselves on creating bespoke experiences for our clients, so all our safari tours are quality-assured, lodges and accommodations are vetted, and safari partners are evaluated using our six-point safari rating system.

When you choose Discover Africa, you know you’re booking a safari that ticks all the boxes, including wildlife, location, value, sustainability and ethics, setting, and overall experience.
