We received a level of personalised support from Discover Africa that made all the difference!.
Our Cape Town stay and Safari in South Africa was truly an unforgettable experience.
Vihann Van Wyck was a great travel consultant and definitely very knowledgeable. He was also patient, proactive, super-fast at getting back during the whole planning process and with a warm personality. I travelled with my 20 years old son and Vihann took the time to understand our preferences and even hobbies and thus helped us select great unique locations both in Cape Town (The Marly in Camps Bay) and Madikwe Game Reserve (Kopano Lodge) also providing us with detailed useful tips to prepare the trip. Logistics of the trip itself ran smoothly and made us feel we were in good hands all the way.
The experience with the company overall has been superb and we will definitely consider Discover Africa again for future plans!.

It was easy, safe, and fun.
The trip was great. E-Trip made everything very easy, comfortable and safe. The drivers did a great job in finding the animals and putting us in the best positions to take pictures. Can't wait to do it again.

Excellent
I thought Nziza was very accommodating - we had 16 people in our group and they did their best to accommodate everyone. The drivers were excellent & very knowledgably as was our tour guide. Everywhere we stay was clean and the service was great. The vehicles were well maintained and boy do they take a beating on the dirt roads.

Tours through Kenya and Uganda
Bridget, our tour organizer and constant companion, was amazing at not only arranging wonderful experiences for our "free time" but also incorporated our Rotary International objectives to see projects into our complex visit. Additionally, she worked hard to solve the many small challenges in logistics that naturally come from shepharding 25 individuals around 3 countries. Nziza and Bridget created an amazing experience for all!

This company used to be great but has now gone bust
Discover Namibia used to be a great and trustworthy operator for years. We happened to be one of its last customers before the company went bust and feel like we should give an honest opinion and alert others that this company is no longer in operation. Our trip was not without hiccups because clearly the company was struggling at the time we went, but we were lucky enough to complete our trip. It appeared like we were one of the last ones who did, as numerous customers have had their deposits and payment lost after this.
Gemma was not a scammer but unfortunately Discover Namibia is lost now.

The Perfect Safari with the best guide
We had an excursion of a lifetime. We booked the early morning tour because we wouldn't want to miss anything, the early bird catches the worm. We saw everything there was to see in Nairobi National Park with our guide David. He arrived early to pick us up and waited till we were ready to leave. A few minutes after we entered the park we managed to see a pride of lionesses. We then went on and found a group of ostriches and zebras grazing together. David then got a call on his radio that lions were spotted and raced to the site. This was the perfect safari. We got there and found other tourists, David pulled up to the front and got us the best view. This experience felt like pure luxury. David was just the best guide. He took us up close to view the animals; lions, rhinos rhinos and giraffes. We were impressed with his knowledge of Nairobi, the animals and his communication skills. He was very courteous when we had to make frequent restroom stops. We went with the private tour package and I can comfortably say it was worth it. We saw whatever we wanted to see for as long as we wanted to see. I cannot say enough good things about our guide David. He was a pro when we asked him to take photos of us. I highly recommend Delfin Tours for the best safari packages.

Fascinating experience of the African bush with beautiful Panorama
We had organized a tailor-made 6-days 5 nights tour with Khalanga Safaris starting & ending from Johannesburg. The communication was handled over email and was professional. Their responses were prompt and the team was always in contact with us to ensure that the itinerary was exactly like we wanted. We also took suggestions from the Khalanga team for our trip planning which turned out to be very valuable. We also found the quotes from Khalanga Safaris to be the most reasonable among the few we selected.
Our trip included a 1-day Panorama route tour followed by full day safaris in Kruger along with a couple of SANParks tours (Bush-walk, Sunset drive, Night drive) and a shuttle back to Joburg.
Everything went perfectly as planned and we had a blast of a time in Kruger. Our guide in Kruger was Shoes and we chose a private open safari vehicle.
Shoes was highly knowledgeable about the various animals and birds and his guiding was top notch. His logistics skills were also were helpful in ensuring we got the best out of our safaris. He was very professional and his ethical methods of guiding impressed us a lot. He also had contacts throughout all the camps we visited and helped us in receiving any additional information and help that was required at the time.
We stayed in Lower Sabie, Crocodile Bridge and Letaba during our stay and were able to sight several animals including Lions, Elephants, Buffalo, Leopards, Baboons, Hyena, Wild Dogs, Honey badgers, Jackals, Mongoose, Waterbucks etc Also, not to mention the wide variety of birds, all of which Shoes was able to identify for us. His expertise of the locations also meant that we were able to visit some of the unique hides and lookouts within Kruger. We also had many interesting conversations about the bush and wildlife conservation with Shoes that intrigued and educated us.
In one of the lookouts we were able to spot 2-male lions which looked like a spec of dust in the scene. We were also lucky to spot 2 male Giraffes sparring, baby elephant drinking its mother's milk, a pair of mating lions. A few special memories, some of which we take with us and will always treasure, thanks to Khalanga and Shoes.
I would highly recommend Khalanga Safaris and Shoes for any of the Kruger Safaris or Panorama Tours. I wish Khalanga Safaris and Shoes all the best for their future and do wish we see them again soon.
