We had the pleasure to work with Susan. From the very beginning, we knew that we were in good hands. We started off with a list of “wants”, that she used to plan our itinerary. After a couple of adjustments, she came up with the perfect itinerary, which came out to be a trip of a lifetime. She was very knowledgeable and was always quick to answer any questions or concerns that we had. Susan stayed in contact throughout the whole trip to make sure everything was going as expected and to make sure we were having a blast.

We ended up with a 15-day trip, in which we stayed 2 days in Nairobi before starting our safari. We stayed at lodges that are part of the Elewana Collection, and we chose to fly as much as possible between lodges to save on travelling times. All of the lodges were beautiful and unique. The staff were always very attentive and took very good care of us. The food was always varied and very delicious. We could have spent days at each lodge just to enjoy them and all they had to offer.

However, we were there for the animals, so we took every opportunity to go on a game drive when available. We opted for private drives, which we loved. We could leave when we wanted, stay out as late as we wanted, and request to look for what we wanted. Instead of having to go with the rest of the group.

All of our guides were excellent to deal with and the game drives never did disappoint. Our first stop was at the Masai Mara. We saw so many animals, including a wildebeest river crossing. Then we went to the Northern Serengeti, the Central Serengeti, the Ngorongoro region where we went to Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater, then to our final destination at Tarangire. Each location had different landscapes and offered various beautiful scenic views as well as different animals and plants.

It was truly a trip of a lifetime. We saw every animal we had hoped for and more. We saw wildebeest river crossings, lions, cheetahs, elephants, leopards (with cub), rhino, beautiful birds, giraffes, monkeys, baboons, zebras, hyenas, gazelle, impala, warthogs, and so much more.

I highly recommend Discover Africa and Susan for any trip you may be planning. If we ever decide to take another “Lifetime” trip, I’ll definitely be contacting her.
