Destinations Africa arranged an amazing African experience for our family of 10
Having traveled to Africa several times before we were excited to travel with our children & 4 grand-children aged 11 to 14.
Having contacted John he was very understanding of our general plans and gave us an amazing combination of experiences.
As we were traveling in peak season he was able to use his knowledge and contacts for our 17 day adventure.
The itinerary took us from Zimbabwe ( Nantwich Lodge), Vic Falls, (VF Safari Lodge) to Kruger( Kapama River Lodge) & ( Simbambili) .
Each of these places offered a different experience- not only in game viewing ,but the entire " Safari Lodge " combination of adventure & luxury.
Every aspect of the itinerary was handled with friendly professionalism. Not having to worry about the logistics was perfect making it possible to relax & experience everything Africa has to offer.
This was certainly all we could have hoped for; giving all of us life-long shared memories.
Thanks again to all the team at Destinations Africa.

Excellent Safari Experience!
In October 2023 we had a 3 days and 2 nights hike in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire National Park.
The tour was organized Tanzania Go Adventures and all the details were great.
They provided us a nice tented camp in Serengeti and lodge in Karatu.
The tour was professional and our guide made sure that we managed to get most of the 3 days in the short safari and spot as many of the animals.
Would recommend !

Trusted experts
Unsure where where to book our first ever trip to Africa we hit Google and discovered Safaribookings.com which gave us the opportunity to request quote from several booking agents.
Discover Africa were the first to respond and quickly offered one of their representatives (Antoinette) to meet us in video chat to discuss our needs and wishes.
Meeting Antoinette online was a pleasure and gave is real confidence we were in good hands. We discussed what we wanted to achieve out of a visit to Botswana and the Okavango Delta.
Antoinette asked us the right questions to get a good understanding of what we really wanted and then offered to come back to us with some suggested itineraries, once she checked availability.
Chiefly we wanted to try and see the big five and also experience the Okavango Delta in an authentic boots on the ground way rather than a plastic fantastic over luxurious way.
Antoinette came back with three great options, all different but all focused on what we wanted. It was a hard job to choose which to go for.
In then end we went for three nights in Camp Xakanaxa, in the Moremi Game reserve and two nights at Camp Okavango in the heart of the Delta.
Once chosen, we received a secure payment link from Discover Africa. We paid on line and were ready to go.
About a month before travelling, Antoinette sent through final itinerary information, travel vouchers and a useful information booklet about the area we were travelling to.
We had everything we needed, but Antoinette provided us with direct contact details including Whatsapp and made it clear if we needed anything we could get in touch at any time.
Once travelling everything ran like clockwork. We landed in Maun and were immediately met by the team from the safari operator who assisted us with luggage, immigration forms and when to go next.
Our light aircraft flight into the Delta was a real highlight, in 40mins in the air we saw dozens of Elephant, Impala and Water buck.
On arrival at Camp Xakanaxa we were taken back by the beauty of the camp, its location and the warm welcome from the staff.
Our bags were taken to our room for us and we were offered a quick welcome snack and refreshing lemonade. Then straight out on the first of 6 game drives. Moremi is safari perfection, we saw everything we had hoped for including Leopard, lion, Cheetah, Elephant, Giraffe, Impala, Water Buck, Buffalo, Hyena, Jackal and many many more…
Camp Okavango was further up into the delta and gave a real authentic experience with game drives on foot and by boat. We watched families of elephants eating together at the waters edge, saw countless Hippo and the bird life is incredible.
Again the camp, the staff and the food were all amazing. We literally cannot fault any part of our experience.
The temperatures in Botswana in October are very high in the middle of the day. We recorded 42C on one day. However this did not affect our experience. Game drives take place in the morning and late afternoon when it is much cooler. During the heat of the day we relaxed back at camp, in the pool or in our room so the temperature was really not an issue for us.
This was our first trip to Africa and before leaving we were concerned we had spent a lot of money and whether we would feel it was value for money. Having now returned we are so happy, it was money well spent, Discover Africa and I particular Antoinette exceeded our expectations at every turn.

Amazing, very well organized!
Everything was top notch, especially for the price. I was on 4days3nights and accommodations were all very nice, clean and comfortable — single rooms aswell so no need to share with randoms. Food was buffet style, very tasty and got me full every time. You get a lot of time in Marai Masa, but in Nakura the drive is a little short, only 3-4 hours.
+++ for John, our driver. Amazing guy, safe and reliable, really knows his way around the parks. Ask for him and you’ll not be disappointed!

Incredible week, excellently organised by Meijo Safaris. Highly recommend the camping safari tour.
We did the 7 day budget safari with relaxation activity. What an incredible week. The tour was very well organised with excellent communication from the company, who visited us to give a brief the night before the safari started. Camping in the wild of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks was amazing, with animals all around us. The food was delicious all week, with local and international delicacies being hand cooked by a private chef for us at every meal. The guide was brilliant, very knowledgeable and fun, and knew all the best places to see all the animals we had hoped to see and to get the best photos. The relaxation activity included a trip to a stunning waterfall at the base of Mt Kilimanjaro, a traditional coffee making experience and a visit to beautiful natural hot springs. Highly recommend booking with this company and doing the budget safari, if you want to see real Africa and get the full cultural experience.

Very Bad
My wife and myself took a seven day prepaid luxury Safari with this tour company last February.The first four nights were good,the guide was friendly.When we were suppose to leave Lake Navaisha to Amboseli the guide was not there to pick us up from the hotel.Eventually another guide had his contact and he did show up.He informed us that to continue our trip we must provide him with $1500 usd cash.Upon contacting the agency we were told to pay him $1500 usd or equivalent.We then spent most of the day looking for working ATM machines.The driver compromised and allowed us to pay for the park entrance fee for the remaining $240.00.The tour operator texted us that we would be reimbursed for the extra money and even told us we would be reimbursed for the entire trip.So the driver did the last two days of this safari.We we’re suppose to change companies after this so after the last afternoon safari.When we went to check out “surprise the hotel had not been paid” so we paid that as well.The tour company explained that since the tour was going to be reimbursed they didn’t feel obligated to pay for our accommodation.The driver had already drove to Nairobi by the early morning.I have manuscripts of everything and messages from our guide admitting that we paid $1500.00 .Al receipts.I was eventually reimbursed the hotel and $1500.00.,no other compensation.I would never se these company again.Like I said I have the complete copy of every message from African Miles Travel and TourRadar .
