Herdtracker East Africa Wildebeest Migration

I was recommended Discover Africa by a friend who raved about them for their African Safari adventure and they didn’t disappoint. From the start the communication was timely, despite the time zone difference, and the advice was thorough and precise. It seemed to me that our agent, Susan, was always available no matter what time I was communicating with her. More than that she regularly checked in with me during our trip to make sure all was going well and checked us in for all our internal flights ahead of time.

The first thing Susan did was to find out what we wanted from our trip and then used that to tailor an itinary that met all our desires. Susan’s intimate knowledge of tourism in Africa had us booked into game reserves and guides in South Africa and Kenya which had all the big 5 on display plus more. The accommodation and tour guides she organised were fantastic.

Thanks to Susan we have had an African adventure taking in Karongwe and Masai Mara game reserves, Victoria Falls and the beautiful city of Cape Town which has provided photos, videos and memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

The service we recieved from Discover Africa was exceptional and went beyond our expectations. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Our private family safari to Tanzania couldn’t be better! Dev in the home office was super well-organised and answered all our questions promptly and accurately. The safari was very well organised. Frank was the best driver/guide we could ever hope for: personable, knowledgeable and possessing a seemingly superhuman ability to spot all types of game while carefully driving the safari vehicle. All the lodges we stayed at on our safari were each, in their own way, special.

It was downright amazing to be driving all day in the African bush and then drive up to a beautiful luxury lodge at the end of a long game drive. Each one was unique in its own way. All of us will long remember the outdoor shower at Lahia Tented Camp overlooking the Great Migration just below us, as just one example. We viewed tens of thousands of large African mammals. In short, I highly recommend our private, luxury 13-day Tanzania Family Safari.

Susan came up with a great itinerary for our two week long safari in Tanzania and Kenya. The luxury accommodations suggested and selected by her were top-notch. We had a wonderful, immersive experience on our safari. Would highly recommend Susan for any safari planning and intend to use her in the future.

Ravi's Tanzania Safari Experience

We are beyond words in our satisfaction with Discover Africa and especially our travel agent Vihann.

When we initially spoke to Vihann about visiting he wanted to know what we hoped to see and do, as well as our budget. Vihann got back to us very quickly with the perfect personalized itinerary to celebrate our 45th. wedding anniversary.

The main reason for going was to see the animals and the migration. That expectation was definitely fulfilled. Our itinerary planned by Vihann was perfect for us. We loved the people, food, accommodations and special touches provided by our hosts to make it unique. We were very well looked after throughout our trip.

Vihann kept in contact to make sure everything was going well. What could be nicer than a private dinner and special celebration with music, dancing and champagne provided by our camp hosts! Our guides S.P in Ngorongoro and Andrew in Serengeti provided by Discover Africa were the best. They made sure we had many opportunities to take pictures of the animals and scenery. We were most impressed with their knowledge of the animals and culture. Our last few days spent at Nungwi Dreams Resort was a perfect ending to a perfect trip!

We are spreading the word to friends and family about your company. A trip like this should be on everyone’s “bucket list”.

What a fantastic choice we made! We are from the uk and decided to book our tour with a local African tour operator rather than someone from the uk who has never visited the place. The trip was booked pre-pandemic, however, all way through lockdown Megan from Discover Africa, contacted us regularly, kept us updated and made sure that as soon as the borders were open that our trip went ahead.

We visited SA, Botswana, Namibia & Tanzania. Every transfer was on time, every hotel was excellent and on each safari we saw amazing things – including seeing the big 5 (although not guaranteed!)

Towards the end of the trip SA went on to the “red list” and we couldn’t get home, what a relief it was to know that with a quick whatsapp call, Megan was on to it, hotels were booked and a tour of the Garden route sorted during our extended stay. Our favourites were Babylonstoren and Grootbost which allowed us to experience the diversity of South African nature.

The whole trip was an experience of a lifetime, the Serengeti, the Okavango Delta, Etosha, the Ngorongoro crater to name but a few places we visited.

In essence I would highly recommend Discover Africa to anyone wishing to travel there. I will most definitely be using them again. Great work Megan!

Our service from Carel at Discover Africa was outstanding. His recommendations on the timing of our trip, the lodges we should book, communication and overall assistance ensured that our trip went off very smoothly and that we were in the right place at the right time.

Discover Africa would certainly earn 5 stars from us, if their back office support in Cape Town was as good as Carel’s service when we needed their assistance in Kenya. I would happily recommend Carel Verhoef and his excellent service anytime.

Thank you for a fantastic trip.
