What are the World Luxury Travel Awards?

Established in 2020, the World Luxury Travel Awards go around the globe in search of the best of the best in the travel industry. Guests, travellers, and industry players vote for the experiences and establishments that have won them over and left a lasting impression. Annually, over 100,000 international travellers select winners for the awards over a three-week period.

There are a number of travel categories, based on location and experience, in which companies can stand out. Winning a World Luxury Travel Award not only inspires the confidence of travellers but also motivates all within the travel and tourism industry to go above and beyond, contributing to a robust sector.

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:

Discover Africa Through Travellers' Stories

These stories capture the real magic of Africa – where every journey becomes a chapter worth sharing.

The true magic, though, is with the people. They’re not just staff; they’re my friends, my family.

I went to Africa to help my parents check a box, but I returned with a new perspective on my own life. Africa is no longer a "someday" destination for me; it’s a "must-return".
