We’ve got some exciting news to share, and we’re feeling incredibly proud. Discover Africa has, once again, been nominated in the World Luxury Travel Awards in the safari company category. This is one of the highest honours in the travel industry, and we’re excited to be a part of this award yet again. This nomination is a reflection of the incredible journeys we’ve had the honour of crafting for so many of you.

This award isn’t chosen by a panel of judges – it’s voted on by over 100,000 international travellers and industry professionals, people who know a thing or two about what makes a travel experience truly special. It recognises the excellence in service, experience, and luxury that we strive to deliver with every African safari.

What Are the World Luxury Travel Awards?

Established in 2020, the World Luxury Travel Awards stand as the pinnacle of achievement in the global travel industry. They’re all about celebrating excellence, as voted by guests, fellow travellers, and industry insiders from all around the globe.

Each year, over 100,000 international travellers cast their votes over a three-week period to select the winners. Winning one of these awards is more than a trophy; it’s an incredible vote of confidence from our guests and a powerful motivation to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in luxury travel.

These awards reaffirm our role as leaders in luxury African travel and remind us that we’re on the right path – a path focused on showing you the heart of Africa in a way that feels personal, authentic, and unforgettable.
