Trip of a Lifetime (Cape Town, Kruger Area, Victoria Falls)
Megan and Discover Africa did an amazing job helping us plan our trip. During the trip we kept thinking man are we glad that we didn't have to think about planning that. We booked over 16 months prior to our trip and were planning 3 months prior to that. Any and all questions were answered in a timely manner, any accommodations that we asked for were planned, shuttles were on time. Basically everything that one would ask for from a safari operator we received. Also we had a snafu with luggage and flight delay getting out of the US that we called on the day of and they took care of everything on the backend to a new hotel we needed, to letting our hotel know we wouldn't be there, to telling our rental car company that we wouldn't be there. We are already talking about returning to South Africa in the future, and we will be calling Discover Africa again to help us book!

Spectacularly Customized Honeymoon Experience with Discover Africa
Discover Africa was the only tour operator I reached out to who wanted to have a Skype conversation to get to know more and my husband & my tastes and preferences. Megan Warrington was wonderful to work with - she crafted our activities and accommodations to our requests and everything went very smoothly while we were on the trip. She was very prompt at answering many of our questions leading up to the trip, and she made a few changes we wanted very easily.

Amazingly diverse safaris in Botswana - first by boat then by jeep - doesn't get any better!
After shopping around for a couple of months, Discover Africa was the one who had the most diverse options for the price. Megan Warrington always responded quickly and was professional and patient with my endless questions. Discover Africa teamed up with some wonderful tour providers who were truly dedicated to providing the best possible experience for their clients. I will be recommending Discover Africa to my friends who have a safari on their bucket list!

A Most Memorable Adventure
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
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.
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!
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)!
