Excellent end to end organization
Strongly recommend Discover Africa Safaris - they helped us organize the safari of our dreams tailored to our needs!
Our travel agent - Chrizaan, was amazing - very responsive and super helpful (even during the weekends). She helped us organize and book all the details - transports from and to the airport, accommodation, game drives, panorama route on the way back… and we felt VERY SAFE the whole time. It wouldn’t be possible without her, so I’m glad we chose this company! Their engagement, response times, offers and prices were much better than all the other travel agencies…
Ps. We saw the big 5

Outstanding
Our African holiday from the transfer from the airport on arrival to being dropped off to fly home was outstanding. We only had a limited time but Dianne planned it to perfection. The quality of hotels were nothing short of first class. Inyati game lodge was the highlight with the open plan lodge providing fantastic service, knowledgeable guides and trackers, and all inclusive food and drinks. The quality of the food exceeded our expectations and the service and room first class.
Diane kept us informed throughout the process of finalising the trip. The transfers provided were in high quality transport and the drivers knowledge of the area and communication kept us entertained.
We thought the organised tour provided great value and variety.
Thank you Diane and Discover Africa for a trip of a life time and a memorable birthday for my wife.
Efficient, listened to our needs and produced an excellent itinerary
I have used Discover Africa 4 times and have never been disappointed by their service. The trips have been meticulously planned and every detail has been taken care of.
We are planning another trip to the Kgalagadi next year and will only book through Discover Africa. It is such a pleasure working with them.

Trip of a Lifetime!
From the moment I started working with Diane at Discover Africa I knew I was going to have an amazing trip. She listened to what I wanted to do, what type accommodations I really wanted, and the feeling of security I needed to go on my first solo adventure. And everything was perfect just as she had promised!! I really wanted to do Glamping and I stayed at the most amazing place, MCH Tented Luxury Camp in Garonga. It was beyond my wildest dreams! Such beautiful accommodations, such luxury, and the staff was beyond amazing. The safaris were out of this world and we saw so many beautiful animals. I could not have asked for a better intro in a safari. My next camp was at Timbavati at Kambaku Lodge and it also had fabulous accommodations! The thatched roof pod was so luxurious and fit for a queen!! The guides and trackers were amazing and we found the big 5 quickly. We saw amazing things I never actually believed I would get to see. A mom lioness with her 3 cubs, a leopard with her kill, a pride of 23 lions, elephants galore including precious babies! I even was lucky enough to see a baby elephant nursing!!! As a labor and delivery nurse for 15 years little things like this truly make my day. We saw both black and white rhinos, numerous hippos, a cheetah, giraffes, wildebeests, hyenas, and even wild dogs! I could not have asked for anything more. I believe the reason my safaris turned out so good was the perfect planning by Diane from Discover Africa. I cannot recommend them enough. Truly an awesome company with employees who care. My next trip I wont hesitate to contact Diane and set her to work on another wonderful vacation.

Great safari, organisation can be improved
The safari at Hamiltons Tented Camp was amazing with beautiful wildlife, nature and a great lodge with friendly people.
The experience with the agent was not as great. Originally, we were promised a morning game drive on the last day as part of our package. We agreed on a price and payed. A few weeks later the agent reached out to let us know that we will not be able to have this morning game drive because she booked the returning flights too early. She wanted to make us pay more for different flights so we would be able to still have the morning game drive.
After some push back from my side an alternative solution was offered which was supposed to stay at the original price and still include the morning game drive. However, this solution was not communicated well to the lodge. The employees at Hamiltons were completely unaware the night before our last day.
All in all it was still a great experience. It's just not great when people try to make you pay for their own mistakes.

Superb
We booked a holiday last minute and therefore the operator’s experience was invaluable . We discussed what we wanted and everything arranged for us was well organised, high quality tours & transfers, lots of advice, personal service and all high attention to detail. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend. Lots of communication even in country. Thanks very much Sam and a shout out to Ina who did our tours in Cape Town and was also terrific.

Excellent!
We had a lovely trip to Stellenbosch/Franschhoek area and visited some beautiful wine farms. The guide had lots of knowledge and took us to places that we would not have been able to find by just reading reviews. Our overnight stay at Lanzerac Wine Estate was also perfect. TIP: Make sure you book your dinner reservations and spa visit well in advance - the best places are quite busy this time of year.

South Africa and Namibia Safari.Megan is knowledgable, attentive, providing top notch itinenary.
Our 3-week self-drive trip to South Africa and Namibia was fabulous, a beautiful adventure to last a lifetime.
From the wonderful apartment and lodges we stayed in Cape Town, Hermanus, Imbali, to Namibia's Sossusvlei lodge the smallest details were taken care of. The itinenary was well layed out and explaineed what we were doing on a dailiy basis.
Communication with Megan was excellant as she would answer various questions and concern a long the way. THANK YOU MEGAN. You are a ROCK STAR.
