Migration Safari in Kenya and Tanzania With a Few Days in Zanzibar

Overall, we had a very exciting experience at one camp in Kenya and two in Tanzania. The camp sites were great all had excellent food and service. Our three Safari guides/drivers were excellent. They spoke great English and had excellent knowledge about the animals and the local culture. All 3-guides had wonderful personalities who are well trained.

All three camps had very good accommodations, which progressively improved from a very nice soft tent camp to large luxurious farmhouse on a coffee plantation. Planning and coordination of the trip went well with drivers and guides at each transfer on time with excellent vehicles and service.

We had a minor airline delay at one of the airstrips which we communicated to our Discover Africa coordinator on WhatsApp and that was quickly resolved. We think that we got a good value for our money and recommend Discover Africa to anyone who wants private tours, guides and transfers throughout their trip.

Thank you to Megan for helping us organise the ultimate family holiday. She was happy to help with all the details, allowing me to adjust accommodations to better meet our needs and also answering the silliest of questions one of us might have had with professionalism and never making me feel as if I was wasting her time. We were able to have the holiday we dreamed of within a budget many other operators just didn’t even respond to.

The local tour operator in Tanzania was Experience Tanzania and our guide was Silayo. He was brilliant. He was quick to realize what we liked to see, and how long to stop at different animals and was also an expert at getting into the perfect spots on the road to view the animals. It was also very clear that he knew most guides and had their respect which gave us confirmation that he was an excellent and respected guide. By the end of the holiday, my mom was almost teary saying goodbye to him as we loved the time with him so much. I have already recommended Megan and Discover Africa to the family and will definitely continue doing so.

We traveled with another couple. The lodges and other hotels booked were excellent. The safe is and guides and people who met us at airports were on time and knowledgeable.

We and a friend ( Three adults) spent 11 days in Kenya and Tanzania for the Great Migration trip. We create our own itinerary and tailored details by Matthys who works for Discover Africa.com

We had an amazing experience – the best itinerary (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Serengeti N, and Tarangire NP) and accommodation on this trip. We had many incredible animal sightings.

We saw the Big 5, Migration watching, and loads more! Tim and Comfort were excellent, experienced guides in Kenya and Tanzania both country, and Comfort was very helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient

We booked our Tanzanian and Kenyan safari through Megan Warrington of Discoverafrica.com. Megan was superb and planned the perfect safari for us. All connections/pickups and accommodations were flawlessly executed.

We started off in Ilkeliani, on the border of the Masai Mara park (you cross a little footbridge next to the tents over the Talek river and you are right in the park) which is professionally managed by Sylvester.

He happily and obligingly dealt with all our requests. We were treated to 3 delicious meals/food boxes per day. The camp prepared food exactly according to our dietary requirements. At night we heard the hippos and hyenas of the park from our perfectly appointed tents.

The highlight of the stay was our safari drives. Our devoted guide Joseph showed us amazing sights ranging from cheetahs marking their territory, a leopard guarding its kill, and lions feasting on zebra. In addition to that, Joseph opened our eyes to the Masai culture.

After that, we flew over to the Serengeti where we spent 5 wonderful days at the Nasikia mobile migration camp in the northern Serengeti national park.

Our game drives by Andrei were an unforgettable experience. Through his patience and insights were experienced several Mara river crossings, one spanning over 15 minutes. We saw all the big 5 including a Leopard stalking gazelles and lions and their pride playing in tree.

The mobile camp is located on the top of a hill, and we were literally surrounded by wildebeest and zebra herds.
The food was deliciously prepared by Martin who took great care of our dietary requirements.

Showers were a little challenge because there is no running water, so they are bucket showers. The tents though were well equipped and very comfortable.

After that we flew over to Karatu where we visited Lake Manyara park (didn’t see flamingoes or tree lions unfortunately, but the park is beautiful) and the Ngorongoro Crater, filled with game.

We would highly recommend Megan and her team at Discover Africa.com.

This was my first safari. I didn’t expect to be so pampered. Everything was first class. We had everything provided for us before even asking. We had a dedicated team at our service. Megan was on call whenever we needed something and she would always check on us along the way. We felt very well taken care of on all fronts.
