Safari Reviews & Testimonials

Discover Africa delivered the most amazing honeymoon experience to South Africa. The Dulini safari lodge in Sabi Sands was so special, private, and the game drives are packed with adventure. Then the boutique Camps Bay hotel in Cape Town was beautiful. Transfers and tours were first class. A seamless experience. We cannot recommend booking enough – it is worth it!

We worked with Alice in planning our travel experience, including lodging and safari. She was absolutely stellar… we originally planned to take a one year wedding anniversary trip in April 2020, and then the pandemic hit. Over the next few years Alice worked with us diligently to keep our reservations intact until we were finally able to travel this month!

The lodge we stayed was fantastic, we were beyond thrilled with Lion Sands and the service provided. Every detail was truly customized for us. Our guide, tracker, and butler were the best in the biz.

They went the extra mile to help me when I thought I had left my lens cap in the safari vehicle, sensing someone to find it and drive it out to us on our way back to the airport! We felt safe, saw basically every animal you could hope to see in the wild and even ones we didn’t, like the African wild cat!

Seriously I can’t say enough great things about Alice and Lion Sands river lodge. You won’t be disappointed!

Our trips organized by Discover Africa were amazing. Matthys put together three incredible packages and worked with us throughout the entire journey to make everything perfect.

We went to Botswana, Namibia and Tanzania with Discover Africa, and had a stay in Cape Town between two of the safari trips.

Matthys was right there when we wanted to make small changes to a flight and a hotel. We absolutely could not have been happier, they exceeded our expectations completely.

From the outset – when we discussed our budget, our accommodation preferences and what we expected to see – we were impressed with Vihann and his attention to detail.

Our trip started at Kilimanjaro airport and included a game drive at Lake Manyara on the way to Ngorongoro.

A day in the Crater followed by a flight to Kogatende and four days in the Northern Serengeti. The travel arrangements and accommodation all worked as planned, our guides were extremely knowledgeable – on both animals and birds – and helpful and considerate.

We saw a huge variety of wildlife in our week in Tanzania – including wildebeest crossing the Mara River and the Big Five over two days. They delivered everything we hoped for and more.

From start to finish every detail was taken care of. It exceeded all our expectations. The Villa, Hotels, and Safari were all 5*+.
The Vineyard trips were amazing with such informative guides. The transfers were effortless. The Holiday of a lifetime which will be remembered forever at a price we could afford.
Such a big thank you to Discover Africa!

This was a holiday of 3 attempts.

Matthys clearly extremely knowledgable, and from experience, about the areas/lodges we visited. The transfers, flights and accommodations were all top notch and nothing went by the wayside.

The trip moved seamlessly from SA, through Kruger, Zimbabwe, 3 Botswana lodges and back to Jo’burg.

Value for money?

Definitely really good quality accommodations and the safari guides were brilliant. We were never crowded into any vehicle we always had plenty of space. The food was amazing and the staff at all establishments were incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Nothing was too much trouble and they went far and above than they needed too.

We loved it so much we are planning to come back in 2024 and do the garden route and some different safari experiences. Missed the Rhino but saw all the other top 4 plus 5 puppy wild dogs/5 adults and 3 leopards. Loads of lions and huge amounts of elephant, bison, water buffalo and numerous other animals.

As Annie once said “I’ll be back!”

Susan couldn’t have been more helpful when planning my trip, coming up with different ideas and itineraries to fit my budget and expectations. Communication was excellent, and when I came down with Covid just 2 days before departure, she swiftly moved to find dates for later in the year.

From getting picked up at Victoria Falls airport, to all the tours, transfers, and accommodation in both Zimbabwe and Botswana, things couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Traveling to Botswana is expensive, but worth every penny.

Megan Warrington and Discover Africa made our 5 country African vacation a trip of a lifetime. She planned the perfect vacation for us. The pace was perfect, the sequence of countries was perfect, and the accommodations were truly amazing. She knew exactly what we wanted and needed along the way.

I would have never been able to put together such an amazing adventure. Discover Africa was there for us every step of the way. They made our connecting flights seamless, getting us through airports and border crossings quickly and easily.

They saved us so much time and energy, making the difficult things seem easy.

With Covid changing everyone’s travel plans, our trip was 2 years in the planning yet Megan was very understanding and patient with us. We changed dates and itineraries 2 or 3 times trying to make the trip possible and Megan just adjusted everything along the way so that our dream trip became a reality.

I just want to say thank you to Megan and Discover Africa for letting us experience your beautiful continent.

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

I booked mine and my wife’s honeymoon and to say that our experience was unforgettable would be an understatement.

The agent I worked with Megan W. was fantastic. She took into consideration what my wife and I were looking for from experiences to types of rooms we wanted to where would spend more money and where we could save. She even took into consideration the style of traveling we do personally.

Megan really made the tour for us, it was truly special, she was also accommodating when we wanted to add extra time to our trip to do gorilla tracking in Uganda and made it work.

If all the employees at Discover Africa are like Megan then there is nothing to worry about when booking other than getting your camera gear ready and bags packed.

I appreciate all the information and help received throughout in order to make my safari holiday a very memorable one.

I do not have enough words to thank them, especially Adelle.
