Amazing experience!!!
We were very impressed about the detailed preparation and their afford to unsure themselves and us of a perfect stay in South Africa. Everything was planned and take care of and even our wish to have a fridge (for keeping medicine cool) was no problem. We would recommend Tailor-made safaris to everyone. With special thanks to Annelies, Angela en Geert.

Everyone should do it, at least once! Unforgettable
Our guide was amazing, always patient and spoting the animals miles away!
The scenery and wildlife are incredible and worth all the effort and investment. The weather was perfect during the safaris, droping a few degrees only at night time (bring sweaters).
The food was ok but the accommodations could use some improvement! The tents weren't confortable and the bathrooms were so bad many people didn't even shower.
Aside from that, we loved everything and would do it again anytime!

Personal and Exciting
I travelled with Dusty Roads and was extremely well looked after. My driver was Geoff. He is extremely knowlegable' and can spot animals and birds and plants kilometers away.
We travelled to Ngorongoro Crater and Sarengetti. It was a fast but very informative and effective. The accomadation at Eileen's at Karatu and Tortilis Tented Camp was great in terms of comfort, food and hospitality!!
The sceneary was spectacular and the wildlife was plentiful. I have taken away wonderful memeories and great photos.
Highly recoemmended

Excellent service and outstanding professionalism, this is a company you can trust.
We contracted H to A to help us organize transportation and accommodations for a conference. Our organization is located in Canada, and we needed to organize these plans at a distance and on very short notice. H to A had the most competitive bid, and were able to accommodate us on extremely short notice (less then one week). They had everything arranged to our specifications, and worked with our travelers to resolve any challenge they had. From our side, the process of working with them was seamless. They kept us in communication to quickly resolve issues. The feedback from our participants was the same- they found the staff very kind and helpful, and the drivers were very detail oriented and professional. Overall, we cannot recommend them highly enough. If you are doing business at a distance, this is a partner you can trust.

Blew Expectations out of the water!!!
We looked into three different Safari Tour companies while researching the vacation of a lifetime. Discover Africa proved to be the best fit for us with seemingly unlimited options, flexible budget and the true ability to customize every step of the itinerary. After working briefly with Director Steve K. we were assigned Megan W. as our Personal Consultant. She was terrific!
After bombarding her with questions, which she answered each one calmly and thoroughly. We then proceeded to flip flop destinations, cut a few days here and there and switch a few accommodations that exceeded our budget. She handled all of this with ease. Her knowledge was impressive and her personal experience was more than enough to guide us and recommend different safari options and even a cooking class (which she had personally attended).
Once our rapid fire questions dried up, and the numbers fell to a comfortable place for those of us traveling, there was nothing left to do but get our shots and book our flights. Done and done.
Lastly, I would like to compliment Discover Africa not just for setting up our journey but also the incredible smoothness which we were able to get from one location to another. We traveled for 21 days, stayed in 9 different lodges/hotels, visited 4 countries and even rented a car for a portion; this could not have gone any better. Drivers and transfers were early, prepared with water and safely delivered us on time, like we were VIPs.
In one instance, our flight was canceled by the airline without our knowledge. When we returned to the lodge, we had an email from Megan plus a note waiting for us at reception informing us that the flight was canceled, we were being re-booked and we would have new boarding passes the following morning. This is what set Discover Africa head and shoulders above the rest.
Our trip to Africa was incredibly memorable, which it could have been with any of the tour operators, surely. I will however, recommend any friends, family and anyone who will listen to use Discover Africa for their travel to Africa. I cannot praise them highly enough. Thank you Megan, for making this special trip, just that.

A Unforgettable and Amazing Safari, full of Beautifull moments with Proffessional /Friendly Guides.
This was the first time for me in Africa in Uganda. I came here because of a friend, she's from Uganda.
I enjoyed every single moment of the Safari tour, all the things and places that I have been able to see, especially the culture of how the people live, their food and clothes and the people are so friendly, polite and welcoming. (I couldn't stop taking photos, I was impressed by every moment)
The tour guides were all acting Proffessional, Caring , welcoming and nothing was too much for them, they kept answering my questions (as I couldn't stop asking things about their culture) their team is Amazing and Passionate about what they are doing.
The 5 nights -- 6 days that we were with them was very well organized..... and oh my god those accomedations were just so beautifull all the best of the best.
I certainly would recommed them if you ever plan to go to Uganda ... what a great Team.
Nasasira and all the other tour guides that I met at the Safari,,, just want to thank you all again...I definitley come back to see more. XXxxx

Well organised and really enjoyablw
I took the 11day Kenya and Tanzania tour and had an amazing time. The company was v well organised and I'd absolutely no issues and considering I was moving between countries etc there were no problems. I had 2guides and both were excellent but v different. Food was excellent and it's the best I've ever been catered for as a vegetarian. Different tours were combined together to make the tour but o had a lovely group. Only slight negative was there was 9 for 2 of the days so one person had to sit in the front which wasn't as good but that's only a small complaint. Zac our first driver was excellent as he was v good at getting us to get the best angles etc. He's into photography himself which is good. Other people who joined my tour weren't as happy with their tour companies due to miscommunication and confusion over what was covered etc-I had no problems at all with that so I'd highly recommend them.

Excellent safari experience with African Sunset
Only positive memories and impressions we have after safari in Kenia and Tanzania with African Sunset. Starting with our meeting in Nairobi airport, then during safari in Naivasha, Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and till the end in Arusha airport - always in time, nice lodges and camps, good 4x4 vehicles. Our manager Haron was answering all our questions fast, offered reasonable price. He personally picked us from the airport and presented nice gifts from the company. Later he accompanied us during crossing of Kenia/Tanzania border. Special thanks to out guide in Tanzania - Gideon. He has perfect knowledge about all animals and birds you can meet during safari, he is a good storyteller and easy person to communicate. And thanks to him we had a chance to meet all animals we wanted.
Thank you, African Sunset safaris, Haron and Gideon. I strongly recommend going to safari with you.

Fantastic Service
We had planned much of our itinerary on our own and intended to do it all ourselves when we became acquainted with K&D and became convinced that they would be value added. Aside from some great recommendations for camps and restaurants, what really impressed us were the small touches, like doing flight check-ins for us (when you are in the bush it is tough to check-in on-line for flights) and getting us good seating on flights, arranging transfers between hotels and planes. We were amazed when we flew into Johannesburg and were met off the plane by a person that walked us through customs, handed us off to someone that got our luggage to a driver outside, who took us to our hotel and then chauffeured us to a night at Carnivore and then took us back to the hotel. I will be recommending K&D to our friends and anyone interested in traveling to Africa.
