Excellent organisation and brilliant experience
This trip was as good as it gets. From start to finish the organisation and information were first class. We contacted several companies and kept coming back to Bryson's proposal which he tailored to what we wanted. Chedi, our guide for the five days, was very informative and fun to be with. He wanted to make our experience as good as it could be and succeeded. The accommodation fully met our expectations and the whole trip went beyond what we expected. The evening meals were plentiful and the picnics a real feast. The choice of juice, water, wine and beer was much appreciated.
What can we say about the locations? We are lost for words. Stunning, fantastic..........Over the five days we saw so many animals, birds, plants and insects. Chedi knew something about them all. Yes, the big 5 including 4 separate sightings of leopards within 2 hours on one day!
We would recommend the private tour for 2 - really worth it - and we visited a Masai Village which was so interesting.
On the day after the safari Bryson arranged for us to visit a waterfall and a coffee plantation in the Kilimanjaro foothills on route to the airport. This was such a great end to our trip (it would have been so easy and a waste to sit around at the hotel for hours). Our guide Baltazar was so knowledgeable, interesting and fun to be with.
We recommend Bryson's organisation and Chedi's guiding 100%.

Extremely knowledgeable, attentive and patient
Chloe Cottrell of Of Off2Africa was an invaluable help to planning our trip to Victoria Falls and Chobe. Not only was she able to suggest great hotels and activities but she went beyond the norm by also giving us great suggestions for restaurants and other activities. She always responded quickly to our questions and notwithstanding several changes in our timing and thoughts of what we wanted to do, she was constantly patient and helpful. Once our trip started she regularly followed up with us to make sure everything was going well. We would strongly recommend her to others.

Great operator
Safari with Jocky tours was incredibly amazing. From the beggining communication with agency was perfect, they answered immediately all the questions. Morning they came for us to the hotel, we paid amount in agency and went for tour for 4 days. Our driver Albert was perfect, he was trying to communicate with other drivers to take us to the best animals. We saw every animal what was described in plan. Also we went to Masai village. Both were really perceft experience in Kenya. I highly recommend.
Knowldgeable
This was a great experience. James was very good in responding to emails and planning the details of our time in the safari. He is very knowledgeable and good at finding the animals and setting up for good photos.

I had a full day Safari to Arusha National Park, including a 2 hours walking safari. We saw buffalos, many giraffes, colobus monkeys, warthogs in a wonderful landscape with Mount Meru in the distance. The packed lunch was delicious and the guide very helpful. Pick up from and drop off at Hotel was punctual Good Landcruiser Safari vehicle. Value for money was good.

Amazing Safari! Hands down, would do it again!
Literally did not have to think about anything. Everything was taken care of and was so easy. All you have to do is show up. They picked us up at our hotel in Nairobi. Our tour guide and driver, Aruni was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and could spot them from meters away. He knew how to position the van so we could have a really great view of the animals. Accommodations were budget friendly and to be expected. We went on a safari to see animals, and we got to see a lot of them plus some baby animals as well.

Wonderful experience!!
I initially booked for 3 days but I ended up extending 4 days. Lake nakuru is so worth it!! We were able to see white rhinos.
I would like to do a special mention to Moses, the guy is so knowledgeable and provided us the best experience we could get during the safari.
Masaai mara also beautiful, and the other guide also took us to see most of the wildlife. I'm fully satisfied with the experience, thank you so much!!

Elite service to create a trip of a lifetime
Discover Africa Safaris provided elite service from start to finish. After explaining what I was looking for in a safari trip, and my approximate budget, I received multiple itinerary options within 12 hours. Not only was each itinerary reflective of exactly the preferences I had set, but (1) every single accommodation option was amazing (2) a few options I had not found anywhere else during my own hours of research (3) the online itineraries themselves were extremely informational and user-friendly. I cross-referenced the prices provided with each itinerary with what they would be had I booked everything individually myself, and found them to be comparable.
After booking the trip, Megan at Discover Africa provided extremely helpful information (a travel tip and packing document, confirmation vouchers, an emergency contact number) and would check in every so often to make sure I didn't have questions. Her communication was always helpful and never overbearing or spam-like, as I have experienced with other operators.
And finally, the trip itself: absolutely extraordinary. It is one that will stick with me for the rest of my life and it was 100% a result of using DiscoverAfrica. I will use them again whenever I come back, and have already sent out their information to friends and family. I highly recommend their services, you will not find anything better.
