Great
As I travelled in Afrika for the first time, from Rwanda through Tanzania to Zanzibar The last leg of my journey was a safari in north Tanzania, from bustling Arusha to taranjire to ngorongoro. This was a great experience! The organisation was very professional and correct. Very much worth its price! What stood out was our guide/driver Malisa! His beautiful personality stood out! Combined with a high degree of professionalism/patience/people skills. He made everybody feel comfortable and enjoy. His unlimited knowledge of the local fauna and flora and photography skills are memorable! He made my safari exceed my expectations! I felt blessed!

That was one of the best experience in my life. 6 Days Tour (Mara/Nakuru/Amboseli) was amazing!
Jimmy (our driver) was waiting for us on time under the hotel. Then hd took us to the best 6 days tour. Everything was organised fantastic! In the Jocky office there is a possibility to pay by card!
Jimmy is not only a fantastic driver, but also a great guide.
Fully recommended!

Decent Safari
The lodge provided everything they promised with good communication. Food was fair, not great. A few choices for dinner would have been nice. The catfish dinner was terrible. I must say the lodge needs to provide proper cleaning to the employees. Most of them smelled horrible. Wash and use deodorant! Lastly, tell the guides to never tell a client who to tip and how much. Tip a guy who walks for 30 minutes with a gun???

Professional operator with super service
We had one day trip to Tarangire Park.
Our driver and guide Godlisten was 15 years experienced professional who gave us all the information about animals around. From 11am to 5pm we saw a lot of elephants, giraffes, warthogs, antelopes, ostrich, and even a big lion eating wildebeest.
We got the best, full fledged lunch, compared to sandviches of other companies (everyone eats in the same area but quality of food and service differs)
I fully recommend this company , we had fantastic time.

Best tour guide in all of Kenya
Our tour guide Solomon really made our trip extra special. His knowledge of the animals and the parks was impressive and he always had a great spirit. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time!
We took the budget safari and we’re also super surprised at the accommodations which were well beyond our expectations. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful, from booking to the camp staff
Overall totally life changing experience and you can go wrong with Lenchada. And if you’re lucky you’ll get Solomon

Accommodating, full of energy
The porters really make the experience so much better, they try to cater to your every need and work so hard to get you to experience the summit and the beauty of the mountain. We did the 7 Day Lemosho route! Truly an experience of a lifetime. I cannot fault our team at all! They dedicated those 7 days to getting us up and making sure all our needs were catered to! This is also bearing in mind that I had never camped before in my life, so an all around new experience! I did donate some of my gear afterwards to the company, in hope that it would go to a porter that needed it, especially a women.

Lenny was extremely helpful, reliable and made sure we had outstanding time on our tour.
We had amazing time with Going Green Safari tour. Communication was smooth and we were able to customize the tour to meet our needs. All tour guides were super helpful and knowledgeable so we learned a lot about the different animals and about Tanzania. The safari was something outstanding and we saw a lot more animals than expected. You can already see plenty of animals even on the way to the national park. I would highly recommend Going Green safari tour if you want to have amazing time in Tanzania with a reliable company and good value for your money.

Absolutely amazing advice, support and execution. Susan is a superstar!
We are a family of 5 with three kids between 12-17 living in Melbourne, Australia. Coming out of Covid lockdown we were considering our options for the Christmas holidays; we wanted to do something special and were targeting a 4-5 week trip away. Do we stay in Australia, go further North to somewhere in Asia (again), maybe go East to the Pacific or further to South America or, as we finally decided, go west to Africa.
My wife and I had been very fortunate to have travelled reasonably extensively and independently in Africa pre-kids but with a limited timeframe and kids in tow we decided to look for a slightly more organised trip. We still wanted a level of independence but with more certainty on accommodation, transfers and timeframes. Being very busy with work and life generally we also wanted to 'outsource' a lot of the local travel related 'stuff'.
I reached out to Discover Africa via their website and was quickly contacted by Susan. From our very first zoom call with Susan I felt we were in very safe hands. Susan in a very experienced and knowledgeable operator and we quickly built a strong rapport. She was as interested in understanding who we were, how we like to travel as much as the where, when and budget. We told Susan our rough conceptual itinerary based around South Africa & Namibia. Yes we wanted to spend time on Safari but also wanted to expose the kids to local cultures and experiences.
After working with Susan on a number of iterations of the agenda we ended up settling on a self drive with a week in Cape Town and surrounds, driving North though Springbok into Namibia. In Namibia - Namib, Sossusviel, Swakopmund, Erongo Mountains (for Christmas), Etohsa and back down to Windhoek. From there we handed the car back and flew to Vic Falls transiting to Botswana - Kasane Forest and down to Savuti then back to Vic Falls then out via Johannesburg back to Melbourne. While it was not peak season for Safari we did have an amazing time and all without the crowds.
Yes the driving distances were large (Australians are generally quite used to this) and most of the roads quite rough but in all 100% worthwhile. Susan's suggestions for accommodation were absolutely on point and all aspects went smoothly. We did have some mechanical issues with the car we rented - a new Toyota Fortuna from Avis - cracked rim in the middle of the desert and some other issue that required a replacement car. Susan was across this and on the phone to Avis. She was in constant contact, checking how were were travelling, if we need anything and checking we made our destinations. She was like a travel support team and as always keen to hear what we had been doing, how the kids were enjoying everything and providing suggestions for interesting stops along, things to do or watch out for or restaurants worth visiting. The detailed itinerary Susan provided in .pdf and on the website, including all supporting documentation and vouchers, was extensive and detailed. This included driving directions and times.
I cannot recommend Susan and Discover Africa highly enough and will definitely be using their services again (hopefully sooner rather than later).

Megan is an expert- all her arrangements were perfect- she really listened to our needs
Our 3 safaris in Botswana- we were transported to a new world, in the company of wild animals. The three Kwando camps brought us to a variety of terrains. Each offered great care and expert guides and trackers. Thank you Megan and Discover Africa!
