Very helpful and really accommodating to our needs!
We booked a safari through Discover Africa for Botswana and Zambia and it was fantastic! Chrizaan was super helpful and accommodating, especially when we had to change our dates of travel slightly. She worked with the lodges to accommodate us and found a solution. She booked us in terrific tented safari lodges in Botswana with the nicest staff and very comfortable, modern accommodations. We were so fortunate to see the "Big 5" and even cheetahs with our trusted guides and we also encountered very beautiful birdlife. We found the price of the trip to be reasonable and the food and lodgings were all very good.
It was a wonderful trip that we'll remember forever and we highly recommend Discover Africa for booking your trips!!

Caring.
Great staff all round. We were driven around by Ranger, that's his name. Truly experienced guide. At one point we came head on face to face with the biggest animal in the land. I don't know what would have happened had I been behind the wheel of that vehicle. My instincts were that Ranger would quickly place that vehicle in reverse and we'd try and wind our way back through that narrow jeep track. But to my utter shock, Ranger turned the ignition off as the elephant came charging towards us stopping within 2 metres of trampling us to oblivion. I was literally saying my last prayer. Not Ranger. He stayed calm. Experience counts and trust me, when I do head back there again, which I will, Xaa Safaris will definitely be my number one choice. Ranger's your guy. Thanks to the entire Xaa safaris team for an amazing experience and the great food. See you again soon.

Way beyond amazing!
Our safari with Topy Tours was way beyond amazing! Huge thanks especially to our guide Amour who has been such a wonderful guide, animal-tracker, driver, and story-teller - all at once! Thanks to Amour's eagle eyes and outstanding tracking skills, we saw all big five and many more species in amazing settings. For instance, we saw a cheetah mum with her cubs feeding on a fresh prey, lions hunting buffalos and gnus, and breastfeeding lion cubs. Amour also had a plenty of exciting stories to share so the time spent on roads passed by very quickly. We also felt very safe with him on the unpredictable dirty roads and in the middle of national parks where he knew exactly the do's and don'ts for an enjoyable and safe safari.
Moreover, communication with Jackson was very smooth from the beginning. The initial offer was very professional and offered a great value for money, including an amazing hotel selection, ranging from small boutique hotels and lodges to bigger ones, but all very well chosen. Jackson's offer was also one of the rare ones including Gran Melia in Arusha, the best hotel in town.
Finally, we were very happy to be able to go with Topy Tours as a local SME tour operator as opposed to big foreign travel agencies.

It's going ok
Very good tour guide and driver. Amazing scenery, very good food! We saw all the animals, from elephants, lions, zebras, hypos etc. Quite poor organisation by African Flower, problems with payments, last tour to Kilimanjaro was cancelled as there was no time to do it in the given time. Did not get the money back. Poor information about details, start times, end times. Unrealistic time planning.

Our tour guide Samwil is very knowledgeable and diligent person with good service.
Good service without breaking your bank! Our guide Samwil is a very kind man. He kept the jeep very clean. And made sure the jeep was always in a good condition.

Amazing experience
It wasn't just a tour; it was a profound, educational, and utterly breathtaking journey into the heart of the wild, made possible by two exceptional individuals.
Our guide, Caleb, is a true master of his craft. His knowledge is not just vast; it's infectious. He didn't simply point out animals; he told their stories. He could read the landscape like an open book, interpreting the subtle signs—a distant bird call, a particular track in the mud, the behavior of impalas—to lead us to unforgettable sightings. We witnessed a leopard lounging gracefully on an acacia branch, a herd of elephants crossing, and a lioness and Lion , all thanks to Caleb's incredible tracking skills and intuition. But beyond the "big five," his passion for every insect, bird, and plant opened our eyes to the intricate balance of the entire ecosystem. His patience was endless, his driving skills impeccable (navigating tricky terrain with ease), and his genuine, warm personality made every game drive a joy.
Behind every great guide is a great leader, and that is Chesi. She tailoring the experience to our interests and answering questions with patience. You feel a deep sense of security and confidence knowing that Chesi is running the operation.
Together, Caleb and Chesi form an unbeatable team. They created more than just a safari; they created memories that will last a lifetime. They treated us not as clients, but as guests and fellow admirers of the African wilderness. If you are looking for a safari that combines expert knowledge, heartfelt passion, impeccable service, and a true adventure, look no further than this incredible duo. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Caleb and Chesi, for the trip of a lifetime
