Great assistance, experienced staff!!
The assistance was provided very professionally. Our trip coordinator tried to find the best places considering all our needs and finance. I would definately recommend Discover Africa to everyone who is going to make a memorable Africa trip!

With Discover Africa I had the most wonderful experience of my life
My trip last August to Botswana was arranged by Discover Africa and I couldn't have chosen better. Everything was well organized and I didn't have to worry about anything. The safari tour was far beyong expectations; the accommodation was superb, the guides were fantastic, the sightseeing and the animals were out of this world. I can't wait to go back, hopefully the next time I will travel with my family so they can also experience a rich adventure of unlimited emotions and definitely it will be arranged by Discover Africa. A million thanks to Discover Africa for making my dreams come true.

Creators of a dream holiday with adventure, mts, activities & unique wildlife & some luxury treats
Communications:
Excellent combination of calling to chat about plans and details, followed up with emailing of detailed information. Made all arrangements easy for us from the actual booking to payment procedures, exchange rate recommendations, visa advice, packing advice and suggestions for malaria prophylaxis amongst other details.
Service:
Went above and beyond to help adapt the itinerary to suit everyone's needs and timings. Made excellent suggestions based on group travelling and ensured that all of us were happy.
Expectations:
Exceeded ! Was impressed with the knowledge of the consultant (Carel Verhoef) of not only the country (Uganda) but the best transport routes, practical solutions to travel plans, excellent ideas and well chosen accommodation establishments. He helped and arranged all the details with diligence and really listened to what our needs were and then made it happen. Will definitely use them again.
Tour:
Everything and more than we expected. From a luxurious & relaxing (much-needed) start of the trip, to smooth transfers, an incredible hike and mountain experience, a unique wildlife experience that should be on everyone's bucket list and then a calm and gentle wrap up with great wildlife and lodge choices. The assistance during the trip was also superb as we had a typical "travel-in-Africa" experience where we were delayed and there was a risk of missing our Gorilla Trek and losing our permits. During the 'race' to make it in time, the support from Discover Africa to help with arrangements was outstanding. (PS: You can't 'race' in Africa)
Thank you to Discover Africa for a trip of a lifetime. It will never be forgotten.
Reliable and helpful
Reliable and helpful, excellent service...everything was in line with our expectations! We had a great time in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana!

What an amazing experience
We have travelled with Discover Africa during February 2015 and we were looked after by Carel Verhoef, our safari planning was made easy by the wealth of knowledge and wonderful service, care and attention we received from Discover Africa and our safari to Tanzania was as expected, well planned and got us into areas where few others were. We found the Great Wildebeest migration because of this where many others failed, thanks for a once in a lifetime safari Carel!

The tour operator provided a very professional, punctual and friendly service.
This was an excellent tour visiting South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana, The staff everywhere were fantastic, the hotels were very good, all excursions hit the mark with a little bit of everything, from the magnificent Victoria Falls, land and river safaris in Botswana and the vibrant city of Cape Town. My tour operator Adelle Bell made sure everything ran smoothly from airport pick up to day trips. The only reason I did not give this tour 5 stars was the first hotel. This hotel is right in the city center and extremely noisy, however the food, staff and rooms made it bearable,

Immersive experience in the wild!
This trip was wonderful! The hotel we stayed at in Zimbabwe was so pleasant with great staff and beautiful accommodations. Victoria Falls was so beautiful and the restaurant where you have lunch has a stunning view! After moving on to Botswana, the game drives we were able to enjoy were just out of this world. I had done 20+ hours of drives in the past and never saw as many animals in one outing as I did this time around! The snacks and beverages the guide/staff packs for us are a mega plus :) and a great treat to have while enjoying the sunsets. The last place we stayed was an out of this world experience. Falling asleep at night with the sounds of wild animals all around you is indescribable! Highly, highly, highly recommend this trip!

Great safari, organisation can be improved
The safari at Hamiltons Tented Camp was amazing with beautiful wildlife, nature and a great lodge with friendly people.
The experience with the agent was not as great. Originally, we were promised a morning game drive on the last day as part of our package. We agreed on a price and payed. A few weeks later the agent reached out to let us know that we will not be able to have this morning game drive because she booked the returning flights too early. She wanted to make us pay more for different flights so we would be able to still have the morning game drive.
After some push back from my side an alternative solution was offered which was supposed to stay at the original price and still include the morning game drive. However, this solution was not communicated well to the lodge. The employees at Hamiltons were completely unaware the night before our last day.
All in all it was still a great experience. It's just not great when people try to make you pay for their own mistakes.

Lana was very responsive and worked to matched my needs with all aspects of the trip
I thoroughly enjoyed my safari. Accomodations were beautiful, food plentiful and the staff worked very hard to ensure we had a true african experience. I found the guides and trackers to be exceptionally " customer " oriented. I would certainly do another safari as a reult of this experience.
Fantastic experience
Discover Africa Safaris organized a perfect taylor made experience for us. They understoos our needs well and was by far the mozt flexible, the most pro active and the fatest.
The safari was fantastic, and Cap town amazing.
Only regrets, it was not the best time of the year to go, and they could have warned us better. The flat in Cap town was noisy as too close to the road.
