Sabi Fly In Safari

My son Max and I just returned from an incredible trip to South Africa and Mauritus, and I can’t say enough about how exceptional Susan Veldman was throughout the entire process. From the very beginning she listened to what we wanted and designed an itinerary that was exactly right for us-thoughtful, seamless and perfectly tailored. Every detail was handled flawlessly. The drivers were prompt and professional, the local agents knowledgeable and the hotels outstanding.-each one what we hoped for. There was not a single disappointment on the trip which is rare for a trip of this scale.

What stood out the most was Susans care and attention. She checked in regularly to make sure everything was going smoothly.
I would highly recommend working with Discover Africa for a trip that would be memorable, stress free and tailored to your preferences and budget. Susan is not only incredibly organized but highly invested in making your experience special.

Debby Anziano's Safari Experience

She found the most outstanding places for us to stay with our favorite by far Leopard Hills Lodge in Sabi Sands Reserve, A small intimate lodge with incredible rooms, food and the game drives did not disappoint as we saw the big 5 every day and many leopards while feeling we were only ones in the park. I have been on several safaris in Africa but this was different how alone and private it was.

The other hotel I would not miss was one of the best hotels we ever stayed at in the world in Johannesburg, The Residence Hotel which was amazing and since our flight was cancelled due to a Lufthansa strike we had to stay an extra night which was also a highlight of our trip and we would go back to Johannesburg to stay there again.

Thank you Susan for making this such an amazing trip!

I just came back from my holiday organised by Discover Africa and can safely say this was one of the most incredible trips I’ve ever done (and I travel quite a lot). I can’t recommend them enough!

I contacted them last minute, merely 4 weeks ahead of my planned travel dates. Matthys, the travel expert that took care of me, scheduled a video call to understand better what I’m after. I gave him a rather vague brief (Victoria Falls + safari somewhere in South Africa, Botswana or Zimbabwe, including walking safaris; avoiding touristy hotspots and crowds as much as possible). Within just a couple of days he came back with an itinerary that fit the bill to a tee. Just a few highlights from my trip: watching a group of hippos at sunset just in front of my porch in Chundu Island near Victoria Falls, a microlight flight over the falls (the views are incredible), watching a pack of wild dogs hunting kudus in Sabi Sand (and hyenas joining in too), and tracking lions on foot at Rhino Walking Safaris in Kruger NP. Each of the locations I visited offered something truly special.

Everything was perfectly organised, including all the transfers between locations. Matthys was very responsive whenever I had any questions (even outside of working hours). This was my first visit to this part of Africa, and I already know I’ll be coming back soon enough and will reach out to Discover Africa to help me make it happen.

My husband and I had an unforgettable trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, expertly planned by Susan based on our preferences. The accommodations she selected in Cape Town, Zimbabwe, and Botswana were among the best we’ve experienced, with Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge being a standout highlight—truly out of this world. The safaris in Chobe National Park and Kruger National Park were absolutely incredible.

Susan was always available, approachable, and flexible, and she thoroughly prepared us for the journey. We are extremely satisfied with the trip and look forward to booking with her again soon.

Barry helped plan the perfect South Africa honeymoon! From the very beginning, his flexibility and responsiveness made the entire process so smooth and stress-free. Barry took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and used his expertise to choose the perfect experience tailored to our preferences, including an amazing safari.

Everything was planned to perfection—from the breathtaking accommodations to the incredible wildlife encounters, every detail exceeded our expectations. Barry’s recommendations and attention to detail turned our honeymoon into the best vacation we’ve ever had. Barry was even able to help accommodate last-minute changes during the trip.

If you’re considering a safari or any other special trip, look no further!

My family and I went on a vacation and Safari in December 2022. We visited Capetown and private game reserves around Johannesburg. I coordinated our trip with Discover Africa and our assigned consultant Susan S.

We really enjoyed our trip, which was very well coordinated and hassle free which was really important to me. Right from the itinerary, domestic flights check, rental car and sight seeing suggestions on what to do in Capetown.

Our consultant Susan S, was “first class”, and she even checked in with up during our vacation on how things were going.

We had a slight hiccup in one of our in the hotel we were staying in Capetown, but the hotel made appropriate adjustments, and Discover Africa also followed up and made sure appropriate adjustments were made. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation!

If you are looking for a stress free and well coordinated and relaxing vacation, recommend Discover Africa. “Five Stars” for our consultant, Susan S who was wonderful and really a pleasure to work with. Thanks Susan!!!!!

Susan was always available, from the early trip planning stages to our last minute needs once in country. She clearly knew the area and how the trip would vary based on seasons and local events.

Her organization was unparalleled and the reliability made our trip a joy. Each tour and overnight destination was well thought through and more than we could have imagined.
