Knowledgeable and highly professional. Very organized.
Three of us senior ladies took the 8-day Victoria Falls, Chobe NP, and Okavango Delta trip, starting in Vic Falls and ending in Maun in June 2024. DK Tours (owned by Webster and headquartered in Vic Falls) is very organized and highly professional. Pickups, dropoffs and daily schedules are timely and reliable. He has been guiding in southern Africa for decades. He produces a very useful informational brochure tailored to the needs/schedule of each client. Botswana is a huge country and much of the tour is on the road and Webster (who was also our guide) is an excellent driver in a fairly new SUV. The lodgings are fine and good value for the price. On our trip the Travel Lodge was substituted for the riverside Chobe Safari Lodge as the latter was undergoing repairs but it was fine. The tents on stilts at Elephant Sands are unique and unforgettable – the elephants charge into the wallow and you can hear their conversations all night. Most meals were buffet-style so food was varied and abundant. Note that if you visit in the African winter it gets down to freezing temps for early-morning activities so dress in layers.
Game drives (and the mokoro trip in the Okavango) are outsourced to local guides in the parks who are keen to show off the local animals, but this is done carefully and without harassing the wildlife. Good guides can sense the mood of wildlife and avoid confronting, for example, elephants or lions having a bad day. Minor changes can be made to the set DK tour – for example, we asked to visit the San people and the salt pan outside Gweta and this request was accommodated for a reasonable added cost. Included in the trip are several river trips on the Zambezi and Chobe rivers that are relaxing and also showcase river game like hippos, buffalo, and crocs and various birds.
To sum up, DK Tours takes excellent care of its clients and provided our group with a most memorable and exciting trip. Outside the tour itinerary in Victoria Falls we took a “walking with lions” tour and a similar one at Wild Horizon Elephant Sanctuary, both of which Webster set up for us. These were wonderful and we would highly recommend you look into them too – how often in life do you get to pet a lion or feed an elephant?
An awesome itinerary with flawless execution.
Sun Safaris exceeded our expectations. We are from the United States, and found planning a trip to South Africa to be a little challenging. Brett at Sun Safaris made booking our vacation very easy. His suggestions for an itinerary were excellent, the accommodations he picked for us were wonderful, and our guides were knowledgeable and kind. I plan to use Sun Safaris again! Their service and responsiveness is top-notch.

Webster is an amazing, amenable, accommodating and an accomplished tour operator/guide
The tour was beyond my expectation in every way - each experience offered a different adventure of discovery and learning and enjoyment! Webster established a rapport of comfort, trust and professionalism even before meeting in person the first time.

A unique, picturesque country that allows for intense contact with nature and calming relaxation.
In two weeks we drove 4200 kilometers, and on each of them we experienced a great adventure. Kalahari, Fish River Canyon, Skeleton coast, Namib desert delighted with their difference from anything we have seen so far. The last days in Etosha and in the highlands allowed us to experience unique contact with animals, which was a new and revealing experience for us. Lilly from Great Explorations Namibia planned our route perfectly, and each of the hotels, lodges and guesthouses allowed for a unique rest in wonderful places with great service.

The Perfect Blend of Knowledgeable Advice and Friendly Service
We used Discover Africa to help us plan and book our Safari Adventure. Devryn was amazing. He really listened to what we wanted, understood what we were looking for, stayed within our budget and booked the perfect experience for us. All details were taken care of, including selecting the best safari lodges, booking the flights to and from, and then communicating to the lodges where and when to expect us. The care and professionalism that Discover Africa and Devryn and his team provided allowed us to experience the wonders of Africa without worry or concern… it was an amazing experience filled with awe and joy.

We had a great experience! Everything was taken care of by the tour operator. We were welcomed upon arrival. The safari tour itself was amazing. Our Ranger Joseph was an experienced an knowledgable guy. We had a chef joining as well who made some delicious food on the safari. Good value for money. Would very much recommend it!

Fantastic about communicating, arranged everything!
The whole trip from beginning to end was exquisitely planned. It was a massively good value for the money, and the location for the safari was fantastic. It was great to be able to customize the trip and add a trip to Cape Town... and the domestic flights were perfectly timed. I would recommend to anyone, and plan to use the exact same company when we return to South Africa! Wish we could do the exact trip again from beginning to end!
