Mashatu Land of the Giants Safari

Planning the trip with Bianca was a pleasure – she was patient and helpful and provided prompt answers to all our questions.

The trip itself was remarkable, offering a wide variety of locations and experiences to make our exposure to Africa and safaris an excellent and exciting opportunity. The guides were knowledgeable and had a network of other local guides with whom to connect so that they could always lead us to sites where animals were present. The lodges were comfortable and well furnished and the meals were well-prepared and tasty. The staff were friendly and always interacting with us. Altogether a wonderful experience!!

Working with Susan made our experience just perfect. She has everything organized and it all went so well. Her recommendations were perfect. We loved the safaris she chose, the lodges, guides, staff and the experience were wonderful.

My experience was terrific. From the help I received to planning it, to the actual trip and the organization of the trip. There were no surprises. Susan Veldman expertly and promptly addressed all my concerns, before and while I was on the trip. The locations were magnificent and friendly to travelers. Highly recommended!

Ed's Botswana and Victoria Falls Safari Experience

This was our third trip with Discover Africa and once again it was a memorable experience, well organized, thorough and exactly what we had requested. Megan is the best.

Our trip was to the Okavango Delta and included flights into the Kwando Concession via Maun from Cape Town. The Camps were well run, clean with good food and friendly staff. The guides and trackers were knowledgeable and helpful and we got really close to many animals and birds and kills.

Because the camps are fairly isolated, the game viewing was a pleasure and very private and the tracking experiences were out of this world. We were treated to an in-depth discussion of animals, birds, bushes and trees and their use in traditional medicine. Over the course of the 5 days, we encountered close to 30 species of animals, over 60 species of birds and over 50 types of vegetation.

All in all, a memorable and delightful experience

Thank you, Megan and Discover Africa

We originally booked 4 nights in Zimbabwe and Botswana for April 2020. The original planning and booking process was simple. Megan at Discover Africa provided a variety of options for durations and locations, and we were able to select the number of nights and the hotels that worked best for our budget and what we wanted to see/do. It was easy to add excursions such as boat tours and a helicopter flight over Victoria Falls.

When Covid derailed our trip, we were able to defer all the bookings indefinitely. In Spring of 2021, we put everything back on track for May 2021, and Megan got us set up with appointments and the information we needed to get Covid PCR tests in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Everything went off without a hitch.

Victoria Falls was extraordinary. The land transit to Botswana was complicated, but handled adroitly by the Wild Horizons drivers. We would have had a real headache figuring out those specifics without an experienced guide on the ground.

Our time in Chobe National Park was wonderful; we saw so many animals from pretty close-up! Again, the guides here were great. All of our covid results came in very quickly, and we had no worries about making our next transit to another country. Can’t recommend Discover Africa enough for getting you to and around Southern Africa.

Even in these uncertain Covid times, it’s very doable (check local conditions frequently though, as things seem to change rapidly).
