Exceeded Expectations!
Africa was on my travel "wishlist" but I never thought I would actually get there
That all changed when our son was home for a visit over Christmas. He announced that he and a friend were going to Africa. They had selected DISCOVER AFRICA to plan their trip. He shared all the details with us and we decided it was an adventure we had to experience as well.
Our son connected us with Vihann Van Wyk at Discover Africa, the same agent he was using. Vihann was a pleasure to work with.
He coordinated our trip with our son's and tweaked the details as requested. Communication was a breeze through both email and WhatsApp. Vihann made suggestions as well as accepted specific requests from us to build a custom itinerary. No detail was overlooked. Some accommodations were adjusted to keep us within budget without sacrificing our experience.
All drivers, tour guides, experiences & lodging did not disappoint. All internal flights were on Airlink .... better than some regional airlines in the USA.
The weather was perfect too!
Our itinerary included:
*CAPE TOWN - Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel....very nice property with an excellent breakfast and beautiful outdoor dining. Must sees were the full day Cape Tour, Wine Tour to Stellenbosch, Table Mountain and High Tea at the Cape Grace Hotel.
*KRUGER NTL PARK - Lion Sands Tinga Lodge....a dream experience! Excellent private bungalow, twice daily game drives, delicious food, and a wonderful massage and facial at the spa. The staff was outstanding.
*VICTORIA FALLS - Shongwe Lookout Lodge...a modest property that met all our needs and saved us some money. We experienced the Zambezi River sunset cruise, Victoria Falls ( incredible!! ) , lunch at the Lookout Cafe and a visit to the historic Victoria Falls hotel for lunch.
*JOHANNESBURG - Marriott African Pride Hotel in Melrose Arch ....an upscale area with lots of shopping and dining. The Soweto Tour was an experience not to be missed. We visited Nelson Mandela's office and home. The Apartheid Museum was sobering and moving.
Lastly, every where we went we met the nicest people....friendly and helpful.
Excellent adventure! An experience like no other!

Knowledge and Experience really matter!
Myself and my lifelong friend used Brilliant for our Safari excursion. Lucky us!! "Lightness" coordinated all necessary information and led us through a fantastic itinerary! Our tour guide was "Bony", an experienced and knowledgeable guide. He made sure we were comfortable and satisfied each day of our Safari, exploring Tarangire National Park and Seregeti NationalPark! His kindness and consideration was much appreciated and spending so much time together, a beautiful friendship developed. We got to see so many animals in their natural environment, The BIG 5, and the Wildebeests Migration, crossing the river ... safely. I am missing our "African Massage" riding through bumpy dirt pathways in Bony's reliable and comfortable Jeep to find the best places to see the animals!
I will always remember our Safari experience with fondness and admiration for the Natural world of Nature!
We ended our trip with a few days on Zanzibar Island Beach to relax and reminisce through the wonderful memories created with Brilliant Adventures and Safari and its highly qualified staff! Highly recommended!

Awesome Kilimanjaro Trekking
We completed the 7-day Machame trek with Zara Tanzania and had an experience that will remain with us forever. I realized they were the right company for us from the beginning because they responded to all questions in a timely manner. We met Lema and Musa at our hotel, where they briefed us on the trek and checked that we had all the necessary gear. We met the rest of the team early the next morning and they are the true definition of excellence. They were friendly and attentive throughout the entire trip. The views and overall experience were special. I have total appreciation for the entire Zara Tanzania Adventures team.

Spectacular, beyond expectations
Our Tanzania safari with Imani Excursions was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, Imani and his team greeted us with such warmth and even surprised us with a thoughtful welcome gift, which set the stage for a fantastic trip.
Our guide, Muddy, was outstanding—highly professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and always attentive. His expertise helped us spot an amazing variety of animals, from elephants to cheetahs, making every game drive unforgettable. The itinerary was well-planned, blending thrilling safari drives with a memorable hike led by our guide Joshua, who was friendly, skilled, and full of great insights.
The accommodations were comfortable, and the food was delicious, with plenty of local flavors that added to the experience. To top it all off, Imani went above and beyond by treating us to a fantastic local BBQ for our farewell, completely on his own dime—a gesture that made us feel truly appreciated.
I wholeheartedly recommend Imani Excursions for anyone looking for a well-organized, memorable safari in Tanzania!

It was really AWESOME!
It was an incredible experience. Tuzho and his team were very professional, attentive, and kind. They sought to personalize our experience, providing us with an unforgettable adventure. We went on a 3-day safari, and the second day was my birthday. At dinner, to my surprise, they organized a celebration—the waiters brought me a cake, walking through the restaurant in a line, clanging cutlery, and singing a traditional Kenyan song (Jambo Bwana). I wholeheartedly recommend Safari Talking Tour. Thank you to Tuzho and his team for this fantastic experience.

Great morning safari and day in Nairobi.
We had an amazing morning game drive in Nairobi Park, and visits to the Sheldrick Trust, Giraffe Center, and Karen Blixen Home Museum. Our Guide Kelvin was fantastic from our first email to our hotel drop off. Kind, punctual and made sure we were able to see and do everything. Highly recommend.

We had a great time with Wisdom on tour! We saw everything we needed to see and he gave us time to shop with the local vendors. Comfortable drive and the tour felt really well curated.

Amazing custom made!
We’ve booked a safari for 6 days (me&partner). You can tell on forehand what you want to do/to see and the price range. They’ll arrange everything and you can make the perfect costum made safari there it’s private. Communication is perfect and quick. They can also give you tips for hotels or company’s for climbing mount Kilimanjaro.
Roko and Epatha (the driver) picked us up in our hotel in Arusha and were with us the whole 6 days. After the safari they dropped us at our hotel.
The food, snacks and drinks were good and the accomodations were good as well. Roko and Epatha did the best they could do to see as many animals as possible. We’ve really enjoyed it!
