Safari Reviews & Testimonials

Communicating with our Discover Africa agent was a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Tanya was quick to respond to questions that popped up along the way, and proactive in making sure our specific needs were taken care of. From recommendations around the safari location, to travel logistics – she had it all covered! It brought us a huge sense of relief as we had some minor anxiety about being first time travelers to South Africa.

Would highly recommend working with Discover Africa, based on our experience with Tanya Ellis.

Judy from Discover Africa organized a spectacular 9 day safari in Botswana for us. Everything was very well organized, the accommodations and service were outstanding. Judy promptly answered all of our questions, was patient with our ever-changing plans, and coordinated an unforgettable trip for us. Can highly recommend.

Our trip to South Africa was beyond a doubt our best holiday experience! Megan Warrington planned the itinerary thoughtfully to include variety of experiences. The tour guides and operators were very helpful, very knowledgeable and courteous.

Always prompt and on time. I would recommend Discover Africa to anyone planning a trip to SA without hesitation. Thank you!

Megan and Alice were extremely helpful in setting up our customized safari at the little bush camp in Sabi Sabi! We couldn’t be more pleased with their service and the safari and lodge were above and beyond our expectations! We saw a great variety of animals and even were able to have an encounter with lions on a walking safari!

My wife and I couldn’t be more happy with the overall experience and would recommend both Discover Africa and Little Bush Camp to anyone looking for a luxurious safari experience at a great price!

We, six seniors, took a 14 day sightseeing tour to Cape Tour and Johannesburg, safari trip to Kruger park and Chobe in Botswana as well as tour to Victoria Fall in Zimbabwe in Oct, 2019 organized by Discovery Africa.

Both, Megan Warrington and Alice Lombard, our travel consultants, planned a well though out detail itinerary covering all aspect of our tour with care and understanding our requirements. They were very professional in their response (both over the phone or via email) as well as were every willing and prompt in dealing with our concerns/requests.

The tour exceeded our expectation and had a wonderful experience both for sightseeing part as well as the Safari trip. The subcontractors for transportation, sight seeing tours as well as the safari expedition provided an excellent service and found to be very knowledgeable. The Safari experience was much beyond our expectation were able to see all five big games at a close distance.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will not hesitate to refer anyone to Discovery Africa as a tour planner and South Africa as a prefer destination for Safari experience.

good communication but cessna flight infos and buffet food style were not so detailed. Safari and staff very excellent

Don’t know where to start or stop. What a fantastic experience, have been all over most of southern Africa to the Equator, so thought I knew and saw it all. Exceeded our wildest expectations, was real out of Africa experience, flying on the 6 seater Cessna to Little Ruchomechi over the full length of Kariba by our very capable lady pilot.

Wow. And landing at the dirt airstrip, more wow. We had the whole camp to ourselves, with an absolutely dedicated, experienced and enthusiastic staff, Joshua our knowledgeable game ranger, chefs conjuring up the most unbelievable, original meals.

Quality of accommodation, food was beyond any criticism, in such an extreme remote location 10/10. The camp manageress, Precious was very precious and special as was Lucky and Simba our ‘bulters’.

All our connections, arrangements, transfers, communications, were faultless and very punctual. Not once did we have to stress or worry. Left our hearts in Mana. Can and will highly recommend Discover Africa.*****

We were six of together, and one was our contact person but we were all in the loop of each communication. I observed that Megan and Alice were excellent in prompt communication, and provided us all the necessary information. Our safari experience was beyond our expectations. Excellent job.

I lucked out with this one. I don’t know if it’s Discover Africa or its agent Matthys who is to credit, but the treatment I received was way beyond expectation.

Matthys invested a lot of thought and effort in devising a month long trip and customizing it time and again by my comments. Prices were fair too. I highly recommend them with no reservations whatsoever

We had an extremely good experience booking through Megan Warrington at Discover Africa. We provided an approximate budget and our wish list and she put together an amazing trip.

Our number one objective was to see leopards and secondary the other big cats. We took a 5 day safari that included two lodges; Jock Lodge and Arathusa Safari Lodge. When we were finished we had seen 6 leopards and 3 prides of lions, sadly no cheetahs, but we found that was not unusual.

We preferred the Jock Lodge because the location seemed much more remote and untouched, however the accommodations and food were superb. Arathusa Safari Lodge was nice, but the area does not seem as remote, you see lots of other vehicles, roads are everywhere and at night you can see lights from outside the park. This is not a knock on this location, if we had only gone there we would have been very pleased, it’s just hard to compare with Jock’s in our opinion.

Back to Megan, she was fantastic and kept us well informed at all times. Everything happened exactly as they were supposed to and very smoothly. We have only been back a couple of weeks and already considering another trip to Africa with our adult children and we will definitely use Megan and Discover Africa for our booking.

It has been a great experience to have Discover Africa to organise our luxury safari to Botswana.

We have experienced great attention by Matthys van Aswegen from the first contact onwards. At the last minute one of our party of four had to arrive on a later flight in Maun, but Matthys fixed the schedule, and the person flew to the lodge on small plane. The party even managed to get together for the first game drive at Leroo La Tau. We stayed in three lodges, all were great, all of the staff amazing (they nursed their guests), and we enjoyed watching the animals and birds (more than 100 species).

Everything was as promised and if anything better than expected. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing two weeks planned in South Africa, Zambia, and Botswana. The lodges and places we stayed at we are all amazing and comfortable. Great staff and planned activities for us. Would highly recommend this tour agency for anyone planning safari adventures.
