A Most Memorable Adventure
5/5

We could not have been more pleased with "Discover Africa." Our agent, Megan W, was knowledgeable, accommodating and highly responsive. She asked pertinent questions, listened carefully to our needs, then organized a personalized tour- the likes of which we will long remember.

Megan called our journey the "Amazing South African Adventure." Indeed, it was. From the Chobe Game Lodge in Botswana, the Cape Grace Hotel in Capetown, the Rovos Rail from Capetown to Pretoria, the Fairlawns Boutique Hotel, just outside Johannesburg, and the Okavanga Camp in the Okavango Delta, Megan booked first-class accommodations at the most interesting places. No less significant, she ensured we were met at every stop, then whisked away to top-notch adventures.

I've recommended "Discover Africa" to two friends, already and will surely use them again, when the next call to Africa beckons.

A wonderful time in SA and Botswana
5/5

Megan arranged a wonderful tour of South Africa and Botswana for us. The hotels and safari lodges were first class. We especially liked the Chobe Game Lodge and the Fairlawn Boutique Hotel. The safaris were unforgettable. We viewed lots of lion action from the Chobe Game Lodge and lots of hippos from the Xugana Island Lodge. We also had a great time taking the Rovos Rail from Cape Town to Pretoria. It was an unforgettable experience.

I am glad to say all of us are very happy and satisfied with trip arrangements.
5/5

I am giving below my feedback about all aspect of the trip from 24th May to 5th June, 2016.
a) Accommodation at Johannesburg, Victoria Falls, Skukuza Rest Camp, Kruger National Park and Cape Town was well located with comfortable rooms as per our requirements.
b) Transfers and Tours at all places was on time and we did have not much of a problem.
c) Flights booked for various places were on time and we were able to maintain our schedule.
d) Two Dinner arrangements at Johannesburg and Cape Town was satisfactory.
I have only following comments which if amended will help other travelers:-
1) Guide at Victoria Falls was not very helpful. We had to spend some funds to cross the Bridge by walk. I am not sure why this was not included.
2) Kruger National Park - Safari timing during Morning and evening appears to be on fixed irrespective of seasonal variation. This resulted lots of time in movement in darkness which was a waste. This can be easily rectified if Kruger National Park changes Safari timings as per Sun rise and Sun set.
3) Wine Tour at Cape Town should have been included. You ultimately accommodated us at an extra cost.
I once again like to convey my sincere gratitude and thanks to you and Discover Africa for arranging this wonderful trip for eight Senior Citizens from India and UK having ages 70+.
I shall definitely recommend Discover Africa and particularly you whenever any of my family and friends plans trip to South Africa and nearby countries.

Superb service!
5/5

We first reached out to two agencies when we were looking to book our trip to South Africa. They didn't really answer our questions and took days to respond. One actually stopped responding altogether and we gave up after 3-4 follow ups. Then a friend recommended Discover Africa. She and her daughter both used them for their separate trips and both were very happy with the service. They certainly did not disappoint. Megan Warrington, our agent with Discover Africa, was... IS amazing! She responded right away and answered all (TONS and TONS!) of our questions fully and clearly. We never waited long for a response and the only things that held up responses were the time difference and both of our office hours. We gave her our desired travel dates, list of activities we'd like to do, accommodation types and a budget (a pretty low one at that) and she made it all happen! She revised the itinerary per our requests several times and seemed happy to do it every time. There were 5 travelers in our group and she accommodated every single one of our requests. They also provide all the information (contacts, tips, etc.) leading right up to the trip for everything we would need should we have any questions or issues before, during and after our trip. The trip itself was unbelievable! They really put together an amazing itinerary for us and we did not have any complications with anything. The lodges were great, the safaris were amazing, all the transfers were on time, everything was just as the itinerary explained it would be. This trip far exceeded our expectations and it was all thanks to Discover Africa and Megan Warrington (and of course our friend that made the recommendation)!

Professional, well organised excellent knowledge of destination .
5/5

Although our safari was very expensive for us as South Africans we were satisfied that we got a value for money experience. It was a once in a lifetime safari. Knowledgeable, professional guides - experience far beyond our expectations. They were prepared to go the extra mile to satisfy our needs. The accommodation very well situated/ chosen to give us an optimum wildlife experience.

Dream Work Through Team Work
5/5

History was made in supporting Chaeli Mycroft to become the 1st quadraplegic female to summit Kilimanjaro. What amazing partners Discover Africa are! Great communications from home team ensured that getting to Tanzania happened without a hitch. The arduous Kili Climb itself took many months of planning, logistical preparation - and Carel Verhoef was a brilliant Team Leader. The website created to document this epic adventure invited the world to share this historical experience in real time. Thank you, Discover Africa - you guys ROCK! Thank you for making this amazing adventure a reality and for ensuring that Team Awesome - including Chaeli - realised their Dream of reaching Uhuru Point. And a special word of thanks in bringing all of them safely home again!

Trip of a lifetime to Serengeti and Masai Mara
4/5

Our service from Carel at Discover Africa was outstanding. His recommendations on the timing of our trip, the lodges we should book, communication and overall assistance ensured that our trip went off very smoothly and that we were in the right place at the right time.
Discover Africa would certainly earn 5 stars from us, if their back office support in Cape Town was as good as Carel's service when we needed their assistance in Kenya.
I would happily recommend Carel Verhoef and his excellent service anytime. Thank you for a fantastic trip.
