Megan found us the perfect honeymoon safari experience
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.

Trip of a Lifetime
Judy from Discover Africa organized a spectacular 9 day safari in Botswana for us. Everything was very well organized, the accommodations and service were outstanding. Judy promptly answered all of our questions, was patient with our ever-changing plans, and coordinated an unforgettable trip for us. Can highly recommend.

Karl from DA certainly hit the nail on the head with our itinerary. Perfect
Karl's communication was faultless, he replied immediately with information to our Questions. Everything from the vehicle, driver, accommodation, meeting and greeting, food, company, safari our tour was everything and more than we expected. We had the most amazing and memorable time ever. David Anatory our driver was perfect, his communication, his safe driver with a little adventure every now and then :) made the trip for us. He certainly picked up our vibes for what we liked and what we didn't want to experience. We enjoyed his sense of humour, knowledge of and passion for Tanzania. I could go on and on forever about our experience. We rate it 100 out of 100 and if we could afford it we would definitely do again. Thanks DA your great, but a special thank you to David, see you in NZ sometime soon.

Professional and efficient.
Planning the trip was managed extremely well especially since travel was at a busy time of year and not much notice was given. All communication was by email, responded to promptly and efficiently. Different options were provided along with recommendations based on local experience. Best of all, everything went according to plan and overall result was a stress free trip. I would recommend Discover Africa to my associates and friends.

What an experience!
Working with Megan from Discover Africa to setup our safari was a breeze. She manage to get us to all of the locations we wanted to get to and the camps we wanted to visit. She was incredibly responsive and helped us with any questions or problems we had. (Don't forget to find somewhere to store your hard sided suitcases when you switch to duffel bags!).
All of the Sanctuary Lodges blew our expectations out of the water. Our tracker Sky at Chief's Camp was amazing and we spent four hours one day tracking down a rhino until we finally managed to see it making our trip complete! The staff at all of the Sanctuary camps were incredibly and being able to go in either private or small groups (4 total people) game tracking made the experience infinitely better.
My only advice to fellow travelers would be to try to take a day trip to see Victoria Falls from the Chobe area instead of going to a camp in Zambia. We found the Botswana national parks to be an overall much better experience than those of Zambia.

Faultless planning, advice, guidance and support from start to end, best holiday ever.
One holiday that's best left to the experts for advice planning and guidance especially coming from a country so far away. (Australia) We travelled as family, Wife and 17 year old daughter.
Our travel agent was absolutely wonderful and was only a phone call or message away to answer questions or provide any support or advice that was required.
The service and accommodations were faultless with impeccable service standards from all staff involved, amazing culture and culinary experiences which will be remembered forever and of course will have us returning in the near future. While initially our thoughts on pricing was slightly high, we soon came to realize that considering the amazing locations and remoteness, the high first class standard, the experiences we encountered, it is absolutely worth every penny and would not think twice about returning for more.
Discover Africa is the way to go.

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.

Very professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful with all my queries.
Discover Africa were in constant contact with me throughout my whole journey and the three resorts that I’ve visited. Always checking to see that I was happy with the way things are going. Their communication was excellent. My holiday was superb. All three resorts that I visited were first class, but all different in their own right. All organised transfers between the resort went flawlessly just like clockwork. Always on time. All resort worked together with Discover Africa to make sure my stay was first class. I am more than happy with the service I received from Discover Africa and I believe it was real value for money spent. All I have to do now is decide which resort to visit on my return and of course my return will all be handled by Discover Africa. Such first class service.

An amazing week in Kruger organised by Discover Africa Safaris!
BEST TRIP BY FAR! My wife and I visited South Africa this September, and Discover Africa proposed a tailored itinerary for us after carefully understanding what we're looking for and our budget, and were extremely helpful and accommodating to changes during the planning. Everything was well communicated and transparent, as they provide a detailed itinerary with pictures of every proposed lodge and an extensive list of what is offered in each place, which adds to the excitement and build up for the holiday :) Unfortunately, we had a major delay in our first flight from Malta and ended up missing our connecting flight to Johannesburg, and this is where the dedication and professionalism of Discover Africa (our contact person was Adelle Bell, who literally saved our holiday!), as they quickly reacted and amended the itinerary of our first day to ensure we still make it and not disrupt the original plan, even on a Sunday!
Then, once we got there, we were AMAZED by how everything even much better than we were expecting! We stayed at Jock Safari Lodge in Southern Kruger and at Kambaku River Lodge in Timbavati. Both lodges are extremely luxurious and exclusive, and the game drives (we had 8 in total) were all equally exciting and eventful! The rangers and trackers at both lodges were really good and managed to give us some of the most spectacular sightings, including a leopard eating its prey up on a tree, a pack of wild dogs hunting, and a pride of young lions, just to mention a few! We were also super lucky to see a group of around 30 elephants crossing right in front of us from our terrace at Jock, and also a hippo eating right outside our room at Kambaku! On our final day we did the Panoramic Route and stayed at Oliver's in White River. It's clear to me that all of Discover Africa's partners (lodges, drivers etc) are carefully selected to provide the best service possible, and they did.
I would definitely recommend Discover Africa, and will surely contact them again for our next trip in Africa :)
