The Africa trip was outstanding and way beyond my expectations!

The Africa trip (South Africa, Victoria Falls & Chobe) was outstanding - way beyond my expectations.
Saw (and photographed) the "Big Five", and Victoria Falls was spectacular - especially from the helicopter.
Travel, food and lodging were excellent!.....

This tour was executed on my behalf to perfection!

I just returned from the tour called "Grand Tour Of Africa" which was coordinated by Travel Discounters and would like to advise anyone who is contemplating this tour that it was executed on my behalf to perfection.
Each of the subsidiary tour agencies that handled my itinerary in the various countries I visited, were punctual and friendly on all greets at airports as well as transfers to and from hotels and tour sites.
All guides were very well informed people who went out of there.....

Not much to add except to reiterate much of the same positive comments that have been posted!

After reading some of the recent posts regarding Travel Dicounters and Africa tour, there is not much to add except to reiterate much of the same positive comments that have been posted.
We dealt with TD in Toronto and Binod Singh was our agent. He was with us all the way. Even after KLM canceled our flight, Binod quickly rectified this and the new flights actually got us into Johannesburg earlier!
We travelled January 9 - 19, this was a quick trip for such a long distance, but we packed a lot in, thanks to the excellent work of the tour companies.....
