Organized, affordable, and have their clients experiences at the forefront.
I just returned from an incredible 14-day adventure through South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. The trip was flawlessly organized, with breathtaking wildlife experiences, luxurious lodges, and exceptional staff. The guides were knowledgeable, the accommodations were stunning, and the food was outstanding. Every moment was unforgettable, making this trip a dream come true. Highly recommended! Natasha planned a well though out trip that forever be one of our favorites. Her knowledge and willingness to answer any question was appreciaited. Because of her, we were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that everything was taken care of.
Unique wildlife and beauty in the word
Making a safari and introducing such a beautiful wildlife is very easy thanks to the nearby International airport. All tours have a good and standardized service for their visitors. You feel very comfortable and safe when traveling and gaining new unforgettable experiences. I fully recommend everyone to visit Tanzania.

Amazing
We had an amazing time in South Africa! We visited Cape Town, Pretoria and the Kruger Park. South Africa is a beautiful country and recommended to go to! Cape Town is just as amazing as a safari in the Kruger park. We planned most of the trip ourselves, but we had great help from Sandra from Traipsing Africa by booking our safari, including help choosing which flight we should take. We stayed in Buffalo Rock camp which was great. Nice tents which were very clean and up to date. The food was great and the chef also was very helpful choosing the many due to various allergies. Overall great experience!

Great Bush to Beach Combo
It was a thrilling blend of adventure and relaxation. The experience began with paragliding at Kijabe Hill.
We then traveled by train, slept 2 nights at Tsavo and went for game drives. It was a such a nice experience in the wild.
We ended in a relaxing retreat at Diani with our stay at Baobab Beach Resort.
The well-rounded adventure was a great experience for us ! Overall services were excellent from the tour company, to hotels and guides.

Amazing Family Safari - Magical Memories to Last a Lifetime!
I highly recommend Ways of Africa Travel for your dream African safari! Paul, Janet, and team will take exceptional care of you providing personalized service from the day you inquire about planning a trip until you are safely back at the airport to return home. My family of four, including two teenagers, had an incredible safari experience. Paul went above and beyond, going to the safari camp office in Nairobi twice, to secure a reservation in tents along a hippo filled river in Maasai Mara that I had my heart set on (Mara Bush Camp) - working through corporate blocks, double bookings, and the internet going down. Our guide Dennis was the best! We felt so fortunate to have him. Paul told us he is good at finding the animals - that was an understatement! Every safari drive with Dennis was an exciting new adventure. We saw lots of lions, including discovering two cubs that the rangers didn't even know had been born yet, a cheetah family of 5, two different leopards, the great migration, and everything else we dreamed of. Dennis would plan all our safari outings to maximize our experience - we had bush breakfasts and bush lunches some days. We also really enjoyed learning from Dennis more about Kenya (history, politics, challenges), the Maasai (his tribe), and about all the animals and birds we saw. If I was planning a safari again or a friend asked for suggestions, they would be ... #1 Book with Ways of Africa! They will help you plan the best, personalized safari trip. Also - I am glad we splurged on Mara Bush camp. Everything about staying there exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed having a special camp to enjoy in between safari drives and in the evenings. Maasai Mara is incredible. We spent three nights there and could have stayed longer. We also were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed Lake Nakuru because of the density of animals and seeing white and black rhinos! I always want to squeeze everything in (and we did), but next time I would talk with Paul more about that drive time between parks and consider that in planning, especially the days before the long flights home.

Superb
🐾 Well coordinated safari by the team... Airport pickup done on time, the Driver & guide super cool and helpful. Food & Accommodation was far better than we expected👌.
🐾Extra luggages were safely stored at the Company premises before leaving for safari, where it helped us to enjoy the Safari leisurely only with necessary provisions in our backpacks 🎒. Perfect timings on Safari departures in each day “unless otherwise we got late 😜”.
🐾Special thanks to Cool guide Martin and David on coordinating everything 👍
*Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli, Mombasa*
🐾“It’s a perfect Easy Budget Safari and truly it’s worth the peny paid. Highly Recommended to get the unique Wildlife experience mixed with wonderful Kenyan culture”

Yvonne is a very responsible person who always solves problems promptly.
The entire trip was perfect, and we were traveling with four people, without sharing a car with anyone else. Our guide, Mike, was very professional and always able to quickly find animals for us. He was like a walking encyclopedia of animals and would tell us a lot about their habits and related stories. We had learned a lot. Additionally, Mike drove fast and steadily, checking the road conditions frequently. Sometimes we didn't make it to the pick-up spot on time, and he never rushed us. He always adjusted the day's itinerary based on our time and needs.
Yvonne was also a very responsible girl who would always be concerned about our feelings and help us negotiate and resolve any issues we had when we asked for her assistance.
We spent eight days in Kenya, and the sunrises, sunsets, animals, and mountains all left us in awe.

Communication was excellent, Susan knew her stuff and provided a wealth of information.
I found my experience with Discover Africa Safaris to be a very pleasant one. I took a 5 night Maasai Mara safari in Kenya. Communication was first class from the get go, my questions were answered quickly and precisely, with lots of information available. Pick up from my Nairobi hotel to my destination in the Maasai Mara and return went perfectly. The tour itself was superb with the Great Migration just commencing and animals everywhere!! It was a once in a lifetime safari! Would thoroughly recommend to every traveler.

Nick was an excellent guide, with lots of local knowledge. He is a great people person!
I had an excellent 5 day experience with Nick which worked out incredibly well from the first moment on. I trusted Nick to take the lead and had previously only mentioned my interest in visiting the gorillas. Through discussing with Nick I learnt of how incredible the pearl of Africa really is and realised that I needed to do at least a five day trip to make the most of my time in Uganda.
I felt safe with Nick as soon as I entered the car and he took great control of the journey. The camping was more luxurious than I imagined and I even had a shower which comes out of the back of the van!
I am sure I brought the luck of the Irish on the trip as I had close encounters with lots of animals including the tree climbing lion and shoe bill bird. The highlight of my trip was the visit to Kasenyi fishing village where during our camping we came in contact with a school of 14 hippos and a family of 6 elephants around our campsite! I would definitely recommend Nick as a guide and I hope to do another tour with him soon!
