Victoria Falls and Botswana Safari
Discover Africa has planned our trip start to finish...It was completely stress free and exactly in line with what we wanted. We had an amazing holiday and everything was extremely well organised and managed. We would definitely recommend!

Knowledgeable, communicative and very helpful.
Discover Africa planned our 10 day trip across Botswana and Zimbabwe. From the very first call, Vihann at Discover Africa was hugely knowledgeable and communicative and understood our brief perfectly. Vihann was quick to send us a first itinerary and responsive to any comments we had to help us create the perfect trip. In the run up to the trip, Vihann remained on hand for any questions. During the trip itself, the organisation was seamless and the lodges that Vihann had chosen were exactly what we were looking for - relaxed luxury, close to nature and small-scale. Planning our trip with Discover Africa was a great experience, which I would highly recommend!

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.

Excellent
Megan Warrington was our Discover Africa expert. The day after I contacted the company, we scheduled a telephone call to discuss what we wanted on our trip to Africa, our budget, the amount of time we had to spend, and the time of year we wanted to go. Megan immediately prepared an itinerary, which we tweaked a couple of times. Megan routinely reached out to us during the intervening months, to make sure we had no issues. She was always available by email. The trip she put together was very well planned, so we always knew when we would be picked up for the next part of our adventure. I could not have asked for a better planned safari.

The operator was reliable, serious and committed so that everything goes well
Afica es un fascinanting continent. We went with Discovery africa . We visited to South africa , where we visit Sabi sand reserve where we couls saw the big four and a lot of small animals. Victoria falls with Victoria Falls with its magnificence y the incredible Botsuana with their different natures , where in a more remote area we could share with animals .
Discovery representes by Matthys Van Aswegen , allowed to have very good moments. The choise of the lodges Umkumbe, Elefhant valley and Kadizora camp were perfect in location , human warmth and services .
Everything was great

Our safari was organised so as I didnt have to do anything wonderful
Matthys our tour arranger organised for us a fabulous holiday which was perfect for us. The safari was worth every penny we saw so much and experienced 2 safari parks, Both lodges and game drives different. Inyati we saw a lot of game and thanks to the excellent guides saw a lot of wild life up close. Hamiltons had more game in amongst Lodges but couldnt get close out on drive, But saw more birds. so a good combination. we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. Big Thanks to Matthys and Discover Africa, Inyati and Hamiltons Tented lodges

Adelle was available and extremely attentive, before and during our trip.
This was our first safari. We were traveling with our 15 year old grandson. Each grandchild gets to pick their trip of choice at 15, and he had selected a safari. My wife and I have traveled quite a lot, but had never gone on safari. We contacted Discover Africa, as well as, several other agencies to assist with our booking. Most other agencies trips seemed canned, much less flexible and much more costly. Adelle, worked with me to create a wonderful excursion, that fit all of our needs. From accommodations that allowed our grandson and us our privacy, yet kept him close and safe, to effortless connections and transfers, Adelle really hit the mark. I cannot say enough about our stay at Mala Mala!?! It was incredible!!! Our guide Sean was extremely knowledgeable, providing us with once in a lifetime viewings of the Big 5+ EVERY DAY…even saw leopard cubs!!
Thank you Adelle and Discover Africa for what has been one of the best trips of our lifetimes and one that has opened the eyes of our grandson to whole new hunger for travel!!

A remarkable journey
It was an unforgettable trip, everything was organized to perfection. Susan, my travel agent from Discover Africa, carefully organized this trip for me as a solo traveler and was constantly looking out for me. I felt safe and secure every step of my trip.

Excellent organisation and communication was superb!
From start to finish the trip was not only well planned but every little question we had ( and we had quite a few) was answered quickly and in detail. Adelle was so approachable and even answered our emails at weekends. We were glad to have emergency numbers to contact the team during our trip but we didn’t need them. The organisation of the car hire was very smooth all the extras we asked for were provided. The tour was superb- exactly what we wanted and the detail of information in the itinerary with contact information and directions was excellent. Occasionally a couple of the driving times were a little optimistic but in a country like Namibia with lots of gravel roads, this was to be expected. The places we visited were stunning- Fish River Canyon, Kolmanskop, Sossusvlei, Spitzkoppe, Etosha National Park- to name just a few. The Gondwana lodges were excellent and we would definitely recommend them. All in all, an excellent experience and we will definitely use Discover Africa Safaris again.Thank you for organising an unforgettable trip for us!

Detailed and well organized with easy ways to contact our planner in case of questions
The planning and documentation provided by Discover Africa was detailed and well organized. Each camp was beautiful with extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. This is key for a good safari experience — their ability to find where the action is in terms of the wildlife. I would strongly recommend for anyone considering a safari to book the private camps and not the national parks. Reason is that in the national parks, they are not allowed to go off-road. So your chances of seeing wildlife depends on the animals walking across the roads they are allowed to travel. The ability to go off-road is a huge advantage as your experience the wildlife to the fullest….including their hunts for food. My only suggestion for the camps would be to have better equipped gyms to work out. There is a fair amount of time between the morning and evening safaris and having a well equipped gym to work out would have been nice.
