Great safari, organisation can be improved
The safari at Hamiltons Tented Camp was amazing with beautiful wildlife, nature and a great lodge with friendly people.
The experience with the agent was not as great. Originally, we were promised a morning game drive on the last day as part of our package. We agreed on a price and payed. A few weeks later the agent reached out to let us know that we will not be able to have this morning game drive because she booked the returning flights too early. She wanted to make us pay more for different flights so we would be able to still have the morning game drive.
After some push back from my side an alternative solution was offered which was supposed to stay at the original price and still include the morning game drive. However, this solution was not communicated well to the lodge. The employees at Hamiltons were completely unaware the night before our last day.
All in all it was still a great experience. It's just not great when people try to make you pay for their own mistakes.

Immersive experience in the wild!
This trip was wonderful! The hotel we stayed at in Zimbabwe was so pleasant with great staff and beautiful accommodations. Victoria Falls was so beautiful and the restaurant where you have lunch has a stunning view! After moving on to Botswana, the game drives we were able to enjoy were just out of this world. I had done 20+ hours of drives in the past and never saw as many animals in one outing as I did this time around! The snacks and beverages the guide/staff packs for us are a mega plus :) and a great treat to have while enjoying the sunsets. The last place we stayed was an out of this world experience. Falling asleep at night with the sounds of wild animals all around you is indescribable! Highly, highly, highly recommend this trip!

Efficient, reliable operator that provided us with the gaming experience we wanted
Discover Africa Safaris listened to what we wanted to experience in Africa and tailor made a series of fly in fly out safaris for us. The gaming locations that they chose were exceptional. This is why we came to Africa. Within minutes of our first game drive we were within metres of a pride of lions. The next day we were following a tracker on foot to a group of cheetah cubs. They were contactable during our holiday and were able to resolve an issue which arose with one of our accommodation providers during our holiday. This enabled us to enjoy our holiday whilst they sorted out the issue in the background.

Communication was excellent, Susan knew her stuff and provided a wealth of information.
I found my experience with Discover Africa Safaris to be a very pleasant one. I took a 5 night Maasai Mara safari in Kenya. Communication was first class from the get go, my questions were answered quickly and precisely, with lots of information available. Pick up from my Nairobi hotel to my destination in the Maasai Mara and return went perfectly. The tour itself was superb with the Great Migration just commencing and animals everywhere!! It was a once in a lifetime safari! Would thoroughly recommend to every traveler.

Unforgettable Safari experience with wildlife encounters and amazing planning
We were looking for a safari tour for our honeymoon and it has been an extremely wonderful experience with Discover Africa Safaris and it has been a pleasure working with Susan Veldman who was very well organised in putting together a customised Safari itinerary for us. She was very prompt and helpful in answering our queries that we have with our flights and making special arrangements to make our stay at every safari lodge very romantic. Very knowledgeable and thoughtful in communicating with us on the different accommodation to provide us a restful experience for our honeymoon. The Safari experience though pricey was worth it if you are looking for going to the Safari for the first time. We were very thankful for how the safari lodges that make every effort to give us as many exposure to a wide range of activities. Thank you once again to Discover Africa Safaris and we are excited to be able to join again!

Vihann’ s timely responses made a huge difference
Vihann was responsive and friendly, worked patiently with me as I tweaked my itinerary three times. I researched the camps myself and Vihann supported with his local knowledge so the result was very memorable and extraordinary holiday. I was very happy with local transfers, guides were available to answer questions and food was top notch.

Friendly contact and quick responses
After the initial booking, the agent contacted me quickly with a few follow-up questions. Shortly before the booked stay, we had to change our schedule, that also worked very well with the support of the agent!

Solo Trip
I had wanted to go to Africa for a long time but as a young solo female traveller was slightly nervous. I decided to book through a company and Discover Africa were amazing.
I booked in 2019 for a trip in 2020 - then Covid hit. They were great with delaying my trip until 2021 and then 2022.
The trip itself was seamless - I was picked up at the airport and all my transfers throughout my stay were smooth. The locations that were selected for me were amazing.
Adelle was incredibly helpful and responsive whenever I had questions or concerns.
It was brilliant.

The tour operator provided a very professional, punctual and friendly service.
This was an excellent tour visiting South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana, The staff everywhere were fantastic, the hotels were very good, all excursions hit the mark with a little bit of everything, from the magnificent Victoria Falls, land and river safaris in Botswana and the vibrant city of Cape Town. My tour operator Adelle Bell made sure everything ran smoothly from airport pick up to day trips. The only reason I did not give this tour 5 stars was the first hotel. This hotel is right in the city center and extremely noisy, however the food, staff and rooms made it bearable,

Well planned safari and good service
Discover Africa planned our safari to East Africa and we were certainly in the right areas at the right time, our itinerary was well designed to maximize time with the migration and related sightings - logistics ran smoothly and all in all we feel that it was well worth it working with Discover Africa.
