Why Choose Discover Africa Safaris for Your Journey?

An Africa Safari Made Just for You
Forget one-size-fits-all itineraries. We take the time to have a real conversation about your dreams and passions. Our local planners live and breathe African safaris; they’ve walked these paths themselves, visiting every camp and park we recommend to design a safari Africa tour that feels truly, uniquely yours.
Value That Feels Right
Luxury safaris don’t have to be a mystery. Our Safari Cost Estimator provides a transparent and detailed breakdown of costs, so you can see exactly where your money is going. We then work with your budget to craft a journey that gives you exceptional value without compromising on quality. We can design top safaris in Africa based on your unique needs and wants.
Guided by Experts, Backed by Tech
Our team, based in Cape Town, uses their deep knowledge of Africa safaris to craft your trip. We can inform you of the best place for a safari in Africa based on what you want to experience. We’ve even built our own technology, like HerdTracker that gives you a real-time view of the Great Wildebeest Migration. It’s just one more way we make sure you’re in the heart of the action.
Journeys That Give Back to Africa
Luxury safaris can be purposeful. We partner exclusively with vetted lodges, safari tour guides, and communities that share our commitment to sustainability and conservation. This means your travels help protect the wildlife and uplift the people who call this magnificent continent home.
Total Peace of Mind During Your Africa Safari, From Start to Finish
We handle everything during your safari in Africa. From 24/7 expert support while you’re on the ground to industry-leading financial protection, we’ve got you covered. This allows you to focus on the moments that matter – like watching an elephant cross the river at dusk – instead of the logistics.
