Sabi Fly In Safari

My wife and I have dreamed of a safari trip to Africa for years. I found Discover Africa on a Google search and was drawn to them to help us organize the trip of a lifetime. Our expectations were greatly exceeded. Matthys was excellent to work with to tailor a package of experiences that worked so well for us. He listened well to our feedback to enable him to design the entire trip to fit our interests. We were met at each location with warm and knowledgeable guides who made our travel so comfortable and relaxing. The lodges were amazing exceeded only by the game drives where we saw so many beautiful animals in their natural setting. Victoria Falls is so lovely. Meeting local people in their villages was very moving. We have memories and photos that are amazing and will last a lifetime. Thank you for working with us to design and deliver the trip of our dreams!!

Our daughter traveled with us to celebrate her graduation from university. She wishes she had something on her forehead saying ‘Ask me about my trip!’ We love sharing our experiences and photos with anyone who is willing to listen.

Thank you, Matthys, for making our dream come true!!

An outstanding safari trip made seamless and wonderful by Adelle at Discover Africa. From start to finish this trip was amazing, the flights were well organised our pickups and transfers were on time and comfortable. We stayed the first two nights at Jocks a private concession in Kruger and everything from the food, accomodation and our wildlife guide Patrick was out of this world.

We then transferred to Arathusa Lodge in Sabi Sands game reserve and while different experience again the accomodation, food and our tracker Adam and Guide Geoff were outstanding. Not a single complaint and felt Adelle did a wonderful job of making things easy for us when the enormous choice of accomodation options and places to stay can be overwhelming. We saw the big 5 and many other animals and I would recommend Discover Africa and Adelle to anyone I speak with!

Megan was fantastic from start to finish and planned our honeymoon exactly to our brief. Everything was excellent- communication, flexibility, transfers, hotels and safari!
Would highly recommend it!

We saw the big five which was really lucky. The guides were amazing. Food could have been better.

We are very seasoned travelers. We travel all around the world and the vast majority of the time, we organize and book our own travel. A safari, though, is a different matter, as far as we see it.

We didn’t know where to begin and we only had three months to get it all squared away, so we decided an agent would make the most sense. We used SafariBookings.com and had several agents respond, all with very tempting itineraries.

However, the professionalism and expertise of Discover Africa’s agent, Matthys, was head and shoulders above the rest of the pack. We worked with Matthys over several days to fine tune the itinerary and we ended up with an itinerary that seemed like it was going to provide an amazing experience for us on our first time to S. Africa and first safari experience. Each day on safari we would mention to each other how finely tuned the planning Matthys at Discover Africa was.

Transfers, food allergies, special needs … everything was all taken care of. Not only that but the safari lodges we stayed at fit us perfectly. It was as if a close friend, who knows us well, had booked these for us. The fact that Matthys is on the other side of the planet in Cape Town, has never met us before, and we only communicated via email … well, we were definitely impressed. I doubt it was just luck, either. We stayed at three different lodges. Each was typical “us” and when we looked at other lodges online, we saw that Matthys definitely pointed us in the right direction.

A safari is a must-do experience, for sure. And I can’t imagine ever going on another one without using Discover Africa as our booking and planning agency. Bravo!
