Far beyond our expectations
Overall rating
5/5

Our first Safari and it was breathtakingly good, so far beyond our expectations. The guide and tracker were amazing and we got so close to the animals, particularly the big 5 which we encountered on numerous times, as the guide was allowed to go of the tracks and into the bush to view. We saw very young, lion cubs, elephant twins, rhino and Hyena pups. I was slightly concerned about going in April knowing the bush would thick after the rains but it did not matter and a bit as the guide and tracker new where to look. We even experienced a water buffalo stampede (albeit we only heard it as it was dark) as two male lions tried unsuccessfully for a kill. We're not birders but saw so many different birds I'm still trying to remember the names and identify them. Five different eagles, three owls and all the other smaller birds. Well done Discover Africa

Overall rating
5/5

A lovely holiday in the North East of the country. A few days safari where we saw the big 5 amongst other animals and birds. We also had a days drive around the scenic areas with lots of lovely views and tales of the history.
Great staff at the hotels we were in, helpful with travel, tourist information and dietary requirements.
