Sabi Fly In Safari

My husband and I were going on a trip to South Africa with 2 friends. These friends were repeat customers of Discover Africa and we trusted them with our trip to South Africa. It was so easy to work with Megan as she designed and tailored our vacation to our every need and want. She gave us a small selection of safari lodges, advised us on what was best and was prompt to reply and offer solutions to all our wishes. Not a glitch happened from the first pick-up at the airport to the drop-off at the cruise terminal. We felt taken care of and were worry-free. Our tour guide in Cape Town, Steven, was so nice and professional and had lots of information to share with us.

This was a dream vacation and a lot of thanks are due to Megan and Discover Africa, who did all the work and we just enjoyed the high level of expertise, care and dedication.

We would most definitely use them again and would recommend them for a trip to Africa.

This was my second visit to Kruger National Park, and once again, Discover Africa organized an exceptional experience. I stayed at three different private game reserves, each offering a unique charm. The seamless transfers between parks were stress-free, allowing me to fully enjoy the journey. From the warm greetings by staff upon arrival to the luxurious accommodations, delectable food, and top-notch amenities, everything exceeded my expectations. However, the highlight was undoubtedly the game drives, where I witnessed breathtaking wildlife in their natural habitat. I truly felt pampered and cared for throughout my stay. I didn’t want for anything during this remarkable adventure.

Gary's Safari Experience

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.

We loved our Africa vacation. Despite the airline schedule changes involved the whole itinerary went smoothly thanks to our travel consultant Matthys Van Aswegan who monitored our connections so we could fully enjoy each destination.

Our Sabi Sands Game Reserve Safari and Victoria Falls visit was breathtaking and mesmerizing. Each lodge was over the top with a wonderful staff. Hopefully, someday, we will be able to return!

My wife and I spent a while doing research and talked to several groups to find the perfect balance of price, location, and luxury we were looking for on our 3 night safari as part of a honeymoon trip to South Africa.

Megan Warrington and her team understood exactly what we were looking for and found the perfect option for us (Jock Safari Lodge) that we wouldn’t have uncovered otherwise.

Not only that, but Discover Africa was so easy to deal with, very responsive any time we had questions, and provided just the right amount of communication in the lead up to our trip.

Frankly, I didn’t expect to enjoy the safari experience as much as I did. But it was incredible and now I’m trying to figure out a way to do it again. I’ll certainly be contacting Megan and Discover Africa for their guidance next time as well.

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!
