Sabi Fly In Safari

My wife and I and two of our friends took this trip, which covered South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. The trip was customized based on our needs and our Tour Manager/ Coordinator, Vihann, planned and executed with such ease and precision, I cannot think of anything to say that would make our experience any better.

Everything went like clockwork and we never had to worry about anything at all. He was also very flexible with last minute changes. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

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

Organised a 10 day trip to Cape Town and a safari with Discover Africa. Fabulous experience with the travel, transportation, the tours, and the safari, and give full credit to Chrizaan at Discover Africa for doing an outstanding job.

Spent a fair amount of time evaluating different tour organisers, largely using reviews such as this to identify good ones, and hopefully avoid working with less reputable companies. I rarely write reviews but want to recommend people in a similar situation to strongly consider working with Discover Africa, especially if the rest of their company is staffed with people like Chrizaan. Collectively, we established timing, budget targets, and experiences. She provided suggestions for 4 days in Cape Town and recommendations for the type of safari experience I wanted (family of 5, all adult children). Even with a 7-hour time difference, communication was prompt, questions and details answered, and her suggestions were perfect. Our family had a fabulous time (Cape Town, Jock Safari Lodge) and would return in a heartbeat. I would not even consider using any other travel advisor.

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

Discover Africa delivered the most amazing honeymoon experience to South Africa. The Dulini safari lodge in Sabi Sands was so special, private, and the game drives are packed with adventure. Then the boutique Camps Bay hotel in Cape Town was beautiful. Transfers and tours were first class. A seamless experience. We cannot recommend booking enough – it is worth it!

Our first safari trip was even better than we had hoped for, due in large part to Discover Africa’s excellent tour operator, Matthys van Aswegen. Matthys was unbelievably patient in helping us plan the trip we wanted, arranging for everything beforehand, and answering our endless questions, which I am sure he had heard a thousand times, as if he was hearing them for the first time.

Discover Africa came very highly recommended to us by Sabi Sabi, one of the premier lodges in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, which gave us confidence that they were not only a reputable company, but that they really knew what they were doing. And they did!

There were absolutely no surprises on the trip, all reservations were confirmed ahead of time, the Sabi Sabi Selati Camp where we stayed was top-notch all the way, with an extraordinary staff, knowledgeable guides and trackers, and food and accommodations that were absolutely five-star.

We will definitely work with Discover Africa again for our next Africa adventure. Thank you, Matthys, for helping us have the trip of a lifetime! John Chiego
