Sabi Fly In Safari

As a party of seven guests we found the travel arrangements seamless and the accommodation well suited to both older and younger members. In addition, we were of mixed bush experience with some seasoned safari members and some first timers. The Lodges and especially the guides were able to accommodate all levels of interest and discussion. We stayed at a lodge in the Chobe concession (our experienced and wise guide was Lebo) as well as in the delta in the Khwai concession (our guide Biyst was approachable and knowledgeable). The Lodges were well appointed, comfortable and the service friendly and impeccable. Discover Africa’s organizational skills were spot on! This was both affordable and value for money. They are clearly the experts in this area and we can highly recommend them especially for first timer safari travellers.

I was very pleased with the information, help and booking process provided by Cayleigh

We were initially overwhelmed with all of the options for African Safaris when we first started planning our trip. Luckily, Discover Africa responded promptly to our initial request for information and we were quickly scheduled for an initial consult with Adelle Bell.

Adelle presented several options and really listened to our feedback to tailor a perfect week in the African bush for our honeymoon. She took care of absolutely everything for us besides the international flights, which was a big weight off our shoulders after just planning so much time planning our wedding ourselves. She was also extremely communicative throughout the planning process and while we were on the ground the week of our honeymoon as well.

We spent 3 nights at Motswari in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve followed by 3 nights at Arathusa in Sabi Sands Private Game reserve. Both lodges and reserves surpassed our expectations. Motswari felt like a much more traditional and authentic safari experience, while Arathusa felt more up-scale and resort like. The staff and hospitality at both were fantastic, and the game drives surpassed our expectations immediately.

If you are considering booking a vacation to Africa, I would highly recommend booking through Discover Africa and asking for Adelle specifically. She will knock it out of the park!

I just got back from a truly wonderful trip to South Africa, organised by DiscoverAfrica. We spent 4 nights in Cape Town, 3 in Franschhoek and 3 at Arathusa Lodge in Sabi Sands. The transfers organised between all these locations were faultless and very professional. The highlight had to be the safari lodge at the end. We saw all the Big 5—lots of leopards, including 2 cubs, lions (and a cub), a baby hippo, baby elephants, a baby giraffe, hyenas, white rhinos, and many others.

The rangers and trackers are superb; we hadn’t seen a buffalo until the last 10 minutes of our last game drive. I still can’t fathom how our tracker saw the buffalo through all the bush! I can’t recommend Discover Africa enough; they were always prompt in responding to queries and changes, which we had to sort out, and it was all done with no issues.

Neil's Safari Trip

There is NOTHING that could have made this trip better. Despite many transfers (e.g., opportunities for problems) not a single issue arose., mostly because Megan is awesome and so accessible.

We had complete confidence in the team at Discover Africa, which left us free to enjoy this amazing, perhaps once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The sights, the food, the accommodations, and the many interactions we had over three weeks left us with lasting memories and a bucketload of amazing pictures.

The whole experience was excellent with a very efficient booking system and the airport pick-up was right on time.

The accommodation was very comfortable and the lodge was top class.

The food was a very high standard and the staff were extremely helpful. The morning and evening game drives were very informative and we saw everything that I expected to see over the 2 days.
