Wow! Awesome service and a tour to match.
I was most impressed that Jako, from Discover Africa, took the time to call me to discuss what we wanted and expected from our tour. My partner had been to Botswana twice before and so I wanted to go somewhere he had not been. I had some ideas but with Jako's help we came up with a super package. The booking itself was easy, all questions were answered promptly, great communication throughout the entire procedure.
The trip itself was superb, everything we wanted, expected and a whole lot more. All pickups went to plan, the lodges were outstanding, the guides at the lodges were professional, organised and did their best to show us what we wanted. We wanted 3 completely different destinations and that's what we got. Jako's suggestions were spot on. We loved Leroo La Tau & Camp Xakanaxa. Both camps were small with amazingly friendly and genuine staff, we had great animal sightings at both and they were very different camps & locations. The whole tour exceeded our expectations.

Visit to Gombe Stream National Park
We spent three days and two nights at Gombe Stream National Park. It was a thrilling visit, as we got to see the Central Community of chimpanzees and hiked many trails in the park. The visit was during the dry season, so we had to hunt for the chimpanzees but viewing them was excellent with the reduced vegetation. We stayed in the lodge built for Goodall's son. It was very comfortable and close to everything. The food was wonderful, fish right from the lake. Our guide was very knowledgeable and capable. I would like to visit again. I would plan to stay at least two days to ensure seeing chimpanzees.

Custom tour that fulfilled expectation and beyond!
Professional, personal and extremely well curated according to budget. We came to Hone to Africa looking for a mid-range expense private tour of Uganda and Tanzania for 9-days. Elias put together an itinerary that enabled us to see everything we wanted and more, in an instant, with pricing that was under budget and accomodation options that were really nice and quite unique. It almost seemed too good to be true. But Home to Africa delivered even more once the safari began. Karim was our guide, an ex-history teacher and animal enthusiast, we got to know uganda better than an encyclopaedia with him. He was amazing, informative, very well organised, kept us informed of our movements and simply made the trip a joy. Elias kept in constant contact to ensure we were travelling well too. I was expecting good for the budget we had booked on, but we got AAA excellent. Highly recommended.

Well organised, very helpful operator.
Ngutu were a third party operator for our safari to the Serengeti. They were very well organised and ensured we had a full and exciting itinerary. The owner and your co-ordinator Lord, was very kind and helped us to do everything we wanted to. His guide, Salehe, was happy to answer questions as we explored the game parks, but could have been more attentive to guests needs and comfort, communication about daily activities and when they would occur, as well as information regarding the geography and animals that we encountered. It felt like he was in a rush to tick the minimum of guests expectations and get home from the safari as quickly as possible. I would recommend this company, but I would suggest that a guide of greater enthusiasm and customer sensitivity be requested.

Bucket list trip of a lifetime.
This was our first trip to Africa, to mark our 50th anniversary. We had spent a lot of time researching safaris online, ending up quite confused about where and when to go. We arranged a meeting with Chris after finding the Safari Partners online; he took the time to find out what we wanted to see and a few days later sent us a proposal covering the animals we wanted to see at the time the flowers would be out in South Africa.
Chris booked us into 3 luxury tented camps in Kenya and 1 in Botswana. All were small camps with excellent facilities, friendly and efficient staff and all featured excellent meals and hospitality. Our guides were all excellent and we had a fantastic experience. We flew between camps, the connections Chris had set up all worked seamlessly.
We had a 2 day break in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. We had to fly into Livingston, Zambia due to airline schedules, but again Chris had helped us with the visas needed and we were met and transported through the border and to our lodge on the Zimbabwe side.
We ended our Africa adventure with 10 days in South Africa, at Cape Town and driving the Garden Route. Once again we were met at the airport and transported as promised and enjoyed the friendly, efficient small hotel Chris had booked, as well as the tours that had been arranged. The drive along the Garden Route was set up with short, leisurely drives. We had a good experience at all the places we stayed. We were impressed that the car from Europcar was exactly as described.
Chris provided us with a great deal of background information about packing, especially for the small planes we were taking, about normal tipping expectations, and about what we could expect at our various destinations.
We were totally pleased with the trip Chris set up for us.

Best Trip Ever
We had never been to Africa before, yet alone on safari. After 15 incredible days , we can comfortably say this was our best adventure trip ever!! Sarah was our adventurist from Kerr-Downey- she listened to our requests, suggested some itineraries and after her input we felt very comfortable with an itinerary. And wow, did it ever exceed our expectations!!

Review about Okavango Delta by Barbara Bergfield
It is a great place for Birding. I should’ve stayed at a better reserve.
