Trip of a lifetime
All communication with Mama Savana was done by e-mail, which was always answered promptly. Alex was very helpful and patient with me. The safari was spectacular, we saw the big 5 and many other animals, cheetah, leopards, elephants, zebra, giraffe, lion cubs playing, a day old elephant were particularly memorable. Harun, our driver was very knowledgeable and answered all our guestions.
We also spent 5 days in Zanzibar. Stonetown is beautiful and we should have stayed there another day, there's so much to see and explore. The resort and beach were like being in paradise. All our accommodations were comfortable and meals were delicious. It was definitely the trip of a lifetime for my family and myself. We left Africa with many warm memories and feeling like we are part of the Mama Savana family.

Amazing experience
Everything was well organised and communication with Anne was easy and clear. Very friendly and efficient. We had a 10 day safari combining Kenya and Tanzania. It exceeded our expectations. Really recommendable. Beautiful memories. Thank you!!!

Seth Vincent is a fraud
Seth Vincent of tripadvisor africa safari or right choice safari is a FRAUD.He does not accept credit card payments so the traveler has no protection. There were 14 of us on a custom 12 day safari. He provided two beat up land cruisers, one of which lost its rear axel in the middle of nowhere on our second day, and one passenger was slightly hurt. Few days later the front left tire came completely off on a vehicle and we hit a soft dirt bank, lucky for us. To top it all, complete break failure on a vehicle in Tanzania. We were VERY LUCKY to have a skilled driver who maneuvered his way through a parking lot full of land cruisers and into a ditch, a few feet away from a cell tower, while 8 of us were hanging onto our dear lives, a harrowing experience. One of us had a sprained wrist and a hairline crack and still recovering. We missed out on some of the safari experience due to these accidents and multiple flat tires. We missed out on Ngorongoro. He shorted us two rooms in several places, booked us in a cheap hotel in Arusha, in spite of having paid for expensive accommodations. We had good spirited travelers who shared rooms. He is NOT A MEMBER of Kenya Association of Tour Operators.
Highly discourage you to plan a trip with him.
Some of us are glad to be alive.

An amazing holiday in Kenya
It was an amazing holiday. We loved Africa and want to visit more countries in Africa in the future. Charlie's travel, especially Emiel and Erick prepared everything very well. The places you chose were perfect.Thanks for helping us out with planning our trip and be there during our trip!!

Ute did a fantastic job from start to finish
Ute did a fantastic job with our trip from arranging everything to helping us when our flight to Africa got delayed and we needed to make last minute changes. Even after a bag was lost and took another 24 hours to get to Nairobi, she figured out how to get the bag to our camp. We would gladly use Roho Ya Chui again.

Fulfilling experience. Welcoming staff. Good communication.
Pros: Staff is remarkable. Peter communication while planning the trip was on point. Mutemi driving/guiding skills went beyond our expectations. He truly made sure to give us the best experience possible (that includes that he cleaned the car everyday and was always on time).
Plentiful bottled water was provided.
Our stay at Zebra Mara Plains was lovely.
Cons: They don’t take credit cards, so the whole Swift transfer can be a little tedious.
Although the Land Cruiser performance was good, we saw that some companies have cars that are better equipped.

Excellent service with memories made forever
They had excellently communication with us. There was no hard sell, giving you time to decide which safari would suit you best. We went on an safari for 3 days and 2 nights stay in Katatu in a country lodge with all meals included. The lodge was very comfortable and clean, the staff were very helpful. Lovely peaceful stay. The driver (William) was very helpful and supportive. He also was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited. Making it an amazing experience for us to never forget.

We had a versatile safari experience as a high-light of our journey
+ Communication (pre-safari) was fast
+ Our guide was very good and an excellent story teller
+ Food (local specialities prepared by the guide‘s wife) was delicious
+ Combination of Kruger camps + Sabi Sands luxury accommodation gave us a more holistic idea of the different types of parks and safari styles
- panorama route was below our expectation (looking back we‘d rather choose to spend one more day in the Kruger nationalpark because)

Excellent service, great places, punctual to the minute!
It has been a great experience to have Discover Africa to organise our luxury safari to Botswana. We have experienced great attention by Matthys van Aswegen from the first contact onwards. At the last minute one of our party of four had to arrive on a later flight in Maun, but Matthys fixed the schedule, and the person flew to the lodge on small plane. The party even managed to get together for the first game drive at Leroo La Tau. We stayed in three lodges, all were great, all of the staff amazing (they nursed their guests), and we enjoyed watching the animals and birds (more than 100 species). Everything was as promised and if anything better than expected.
Highly recommended!

Great safari with AAA Express
Overall our trip was perfect. Jalala was very helpful to accommodate our schedule and to ensure we have pick-up/drop-off from/airport. The team was very nice and helpful,we feel very comfortable whole the time. The food was delicious and always a lot and fresh. Our cook Mike as well was doing a great job by serving us tasty meals. Our driver and guide Steven is a very good man and he is very experienced.All the accommodations were great. Our tents were the biggest. The Seronera
pimbi campsite was very basic but offered a memorable experience, with the real taste of the Safari.But the best thing about this tour was obviously the wildlife,
we were not expecting to see so many animals, so we really enjoyed ourselves.We warmly recommend his agency.
