Migration in the Mara and Gorilla Trekking

We booked our safari adventures in Kenya and Tanzania with Susan at Discover Africa. The trip was nothing short of amazing, one of the best safari experiences we have ever enjoyed. Susan was thoughtful and patient throughout the planning process and really took time to understand what we wanted in a safari. Her recommendations were perfectly on point for us and our travel needs.

All logistical elements were smooth, and the services and amenities at both lodges that Susan recommended were exceptional. Our stay at Nimali Mara was particularly special with guide, Benson, offering us not only great sightings, but amazing animal interactions – from curious lion cubs playing (some still in the den) to lions mating to a lion challenging hyenas to access a watering hole! Our big cat experiences were truly top notch.

Thank you Susan for arranging such a special and memorable vacation for us; we will surely be in touch to plan our next African adventure.

Susan helped us organize a trip to Rwanda for Gorilla trekking and safari in Maasai Mara. She was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and attentive to every detail from start to finish. From the moment we landed in Africa, it never felt like we had to worry about a single thing. Everything was arranged and thought through. Susan was always available for any questions that we had before and during the trip. We had a magical, worry free vacation and I can’t recommend her enough for anyone planning their African vacation. I cannot wait to start planning my next trip already!

Megan arranged every single detail for our 10-day Kenyan Safari visiting Nairobi, Diani Beach and the Masa Mara. Over the 15 months of planning our bucket list trip of a lifetime, Megan was extremely polite, professional and so kind in all of her communications and arrangements with us. I can’t recommend her more highly.

Everything went very smoothly. The ground and air transfers were top notch and the Hotel/Resort staff were absolutely amazing at every destination, making our vacation even more incredible. At every destination we thought ‘surely this is as good as it gets’, and then the next destination was even better. I haven’t even started with the food and Safari tours…amazing! If you’re going on Safari, do the Hot Air Balloon trip as well…more amazing moments!

We (my husband and 2 teenage sons) made a million memories that we will cherish forever. Everything was just Wow!!!

From our first contact with Karl, by email, to transferring large sums of money, which was promptly acknowledged, to being met by Petrous at Kilimanjaro, this Safari was way beyond our expectations. The moment, soon after arrival, the five of us received a boxed gift of a Masai blanket, each, we knew we chose the right Safari operator.

Discover Africa, you know the way to a tourist’s heart. Thank you. The blankets were used at every opportunity during the Safari and are now washed and ironed, at home, with us in Malaysia. A heart warming ,loved souvenir of our 8 absolutely amazing days in Tanzania.

Our guide and driver was totally committed to ensuring we sighted as many big cats, other wild animals, insects and birds as we could. He stopped to show us a line of Martebelli ants and on another occasion,a dung beetle busily preparing its nest. Nothing was too trivial for Petrous.

Returning to a kopje ,which housed big cats ,sighted in the morning to “ see what the lions, leopards and Cheetahs “were up to,now” was the norm each day; it did not matter that we were driving around for 6-8 hours before that ! We feel very grateful that he was assigned to us. Rational, knowledgeable and calm. He drove skillfully through shocking, terribly muddy ditches. We were impressed and he endeared himself to my husband, our 3 adult children and me.

Accommodation was as expected the first 3 nights but our final four nights were spent in a luxurious, comfortable and absolutely scenic camp – Lemala Nanyukie. Being lulled to sleep by roaring lions was sublime. Food was delicious, the barman Nelson was awesome and staff friendly, warm and hospitable. Leaving the Serengeti was not easy for all 5 of us. We will treasure memories of awesome wild life, trustworthy ,honest ,hospitable people and stunning scenery.

Thank you Karl and Mathys of Discover Africa. May we be in contact again, in the future. S Sushila

The whole travel experience was amazing.

Since the arrangement with all Discover Africa Technology providing us a special travel web site until the last mile arrangement that put us face to face with Gorilas in Bwindi, Uganda was just perfect. Special attention to the field team that was just perfect with all details and always on time and helpful.

Great job with sales team flexibility to attend all our requests in this so complex travel.

On behalf of my family thank you and congratulate on this great job.
