Excellent experience planning an African safari!
I was at a loss of where to begin planning a multi-country tip to Africa consisting of a safari, Victoria Falls and Namibia dune experience. After researching I came upon Discover Africa, and am so thankful I did. With Diane's help we were able to visit Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe with all the transportation, lodging and food logistics worked out. All we had to do was show up and everything was taken care of for us. Diane worked within our budget, provided excellent lodging options and truly delivered a once in a lifetime trip. If you are planning to visit Africa I would recommend going with this company, they make your life so much easier!

Excellent From Start to Finish
We were assisted by Susan who couldn’t have been more helpful. It made the booking process so much easier.
We did a two place Safari. The first at Karangwe Becks Lodge which was very small and personal m. Staff were incredibly helpful and kind. Our tracker and driver made our Safari experience memorable in finding the animals. Food and room was lovely and we have no hesitation in recommending.
Our second place was Kapama Orivate Game Reserve. This was a different experience, not as personal and felt more commercial. It depends what you are looking for. The room was beautiful with private pool. Food was also excellent.
If we did again we’d prefer the first lodge. However it’s a matter of personal choice and overall our holiday was wonderful and memorable.

First safari wxceeded expectations
Overall the trip was amazing. We ended up having a much more luxury experience than anticipated or requested, but now I have learned and will not need that for my next safari. My tour operator was available with any questions and was a great support before we left.

Great Vist!
If you're going to South Africa and are trying to decide what to do, and how to get it all done, I suggest using Discover Africa. Adelle Bell was my consultant and she was a great help. After trying to organize on my own and getting information overload, I reached out to Adelle and she was spot on in her ideas and suggestions for my trip. I emailed her with my main goals. She then set up a call with me to gain greater information and then went to work with her suggestions for what I expressed I wanted to do. Discover Africa was not pushy trying to get me to spend money on excursions that I didn't really want to do. Instead, they arranged everything I wanted and I just showed up. All transfers, hotels, airfare, and safari experiences are set up and there was never any bad issues. I even received several messages while there just to make sure things were running smooth. I highly recommend. If I return, I will definitely use them(her) again.

A brilliant experience!
From the start Megan was extremely helpful and responsive. She answered the many questions I had and worked hard to help tailor the trip to my needs. All of the logistics went extremely smoothly and the lodge at Nambu Camp was fantastic. The food, setting and service were all excellent. The safari itself was breathtaking, a real once in a lifetime experience, facilitated by our amazing guide who was extremely knowledgeable and willing answer questions.

Discover Africa Safaris made my dream come true
I had an amazing trip thanks to Discover Africa Safaris. I stayed 4 days on the island of Zanzibar and 9 days on the Tanzanian mainland. Meghan initially contacted me, and we scheduled a zoom call. I explained what I was interested in doing and a few days later she had a proposed itinerary with estimated cost. We coordinated the trip through emails, and she was very diligent in getting back to me right away to answer my questions.
Meghan planned everything for me such as making flight reservations, having someone pick me up the airport, hotel reservations in Zanzibar and the 4-day safari accommodations. She gave me her personal WhatsApp number in case I had any questions or needed help with anything. I was traveling solo, so having someone to help me in case I had any problems gave me such peace of mind. Her attention to details made the trip go as planned without any problems whatsoever. The accommodations were just as advertised and the safari amazing.

Made our safari dreams come true
Thank you to Megan for helping us organise the ultimate family holiday. She was happy to help with all the details, allowing me to adjust accommodation to better meet our needs and also answering the silliest of questions one of us might have had with professionalism and never making me feel as if I was wasting her time. We were able to have the holiday we dreamed of within a budget many other operators just didn't even respond to. The local tour operator in Tanzania was Experience Tanzania and our guide was Silayo. He was brilliant. He was quick to realise what we liked to see, how long to stop at different animals and was also an expert at getting into the perfect spots on the road to view the animals. It was also very clear that he knew most guides and had their respect which gave us the confirmation that he was an excellent and respected guide. By the end of the holiday my mom was almost teary saying goodbye to him as we loved the time with him so much. I have already recommended Megan and Discover Africa to family and will definitely continue doing so.
Excellent coordination with Susan Swanepoel and Keys Hotel for my Kilimanjaro trek
Living in Florida, I reached out to several tour operators online. Susan Swanepoel from Discover Africa was incredible to work with. She was informative, very prompt to respond, and ensured that all of my questions regarding my Kili hike were answered. She arranged for me to have my trip through the Keys Hotel in Moshi Tanzania. The guide, cook, waiter, and all porters (total 8 personnel just for my solo trip) were excellent throughout the trip. They truly cared about me and my needs during my 5 days on the mountain. The food was delicious at every meal, my tent was always set up for me, the personal toilet was cleansed after every use, and my duffel bag was carried up the mountain camp to camp by the porters. Summit night was a hard night because of my limited time to acclimate to the altitude but I made it thanks to my guide, Liberaty. Susan always sent me the requirements, itinerary, and gear list in advance, gave me her personal contact info, and ensured that from the moment I touched down in Africa to the moment I left, I was always safe and in good hands. 5 stars all the way! Thank you to Discover Africa and the team at the Keys Hotel in Moshi!
