Trip of a Lifetime!
This trip was a 20th anniversary/bucket lis trip. From the time we landed in South Africa until we sadly had to depart, we were hosted
like no other country we've visited. Our travel agent, Dianne DuPlessis from Discover Africa, was amazing. We described the trip we were looking for and the type of accommodations and she completely nailed it. All of our accommodations were perfect. We meet so many wonderful host and guests at the different lodges. The food very delicious as was the water & cocktails:)
We were able to see the big 5, little 5, ugly 5, and many others. Our guides and trackers were the best at explaining the ecology of the African Savannah. We learned so much. We highly recommend Dianne and Discover Africa as well as the lodges we stayed at.

Exceptional organization and great experience!
We booked our honeymoon through Susan at Discover Africa and had a fabulous experience. The number of choices for lodges, activities, and places to go in southern Africa were overwhelming at first glance, and we found it really useful to have an experienced local talk us through some recommendations. They were very helpful and provided a range of options based on price and desired comfort level. In the end, we decided on going to South Africa, Zimbabwe (Vic Falls), and Botswana across a 2.5 week period. The organization of the tour was amazing, with Discover Africa providing a detailed itinerary and making all bookings ahead of time. We didn't ever need to worry about looking for taxis, which was particularly useful when arriving at the airport in a new country for the first time. Susan checked in with us via whatsapp every couple days to make sure that everything was going smoothly, and quickly responded to any of our questions. My wife and I agreed that one of the best things about doing the trip with Discover Africa was that they helped us book accomodation that was more intimate, which made the honeymoon really special. The safaris, the views, the food, and tours were all amazing - a small taste of southern Africa that has made us want to come back as soon as we can. Thanks to Susan and the team for a great trip!

Thoughtful, comprehensive and reliable agent that designed the perfect holiday.
Susan from Discover Africa arranged the perfect holiday for me in South Africa. She understood the balance I wanted exploring Cape Town and safari and the ensured as a solo traveler I had tours and transferred pre booked. I felt safe the whole time and loved all the accommodation and tours/ safari booked. Most of all Susan made me feel really well looked after, she was responsive when I had questions and contactable when some weather issues arose ensuring a plan B was available while luckily I didn’t need.
I highly recommend and hope to use Discover Africa again in the future.

Excellent
Dev was able to accomodate exactly what we wanted to see in Botswana within our budget and we were so thrilled with the value for money we got. The lodges we stayed at were incredible! I would highly recommend connecting with Discover Africa to book your tour, they were able to accomodate changes to suit our itinerary, location requests and budget!

Susan was amazing! Her itinerary was perfection and she was always available to offer advice.
We had the most memorable safari trip with Discover Africa Safaris. Susan put together the perfect itinerary for our first family safari. Her choices were excellent. We loved both safari lodges and our accommodation in Cape Town was wonderful. Her recommendation for car rental in Cape Town was great as we were able to drive to Hout Bay, Boulders Beach and Cape Point easily. I would thoroughly recommend Susan to put together the perfect vacation!

Great customer service, close communication and follow up
We picked Discover Africa Safaris due to recommendation from other friends. We are a family of 4 (2 teenagers) and did our bookings on very short notice however they did a great job finding the best alternatives in a compressed schedule that would fit our available days and budget. Our designated agent also kept in top of the logistics and with daily WhatsApp follow up in case of any contingencies or changes.
You may find cheaper options elsewhere but if peace of mind is what you are looking for, we recommend them.

Chasing Horizons: A Luxe Safari in the Heart of the Wild
Our safari trip to Botwsana was a dream come true, absolutely flawless, thanks to the outstanding service and thoughtful planning by Cayleigh Brown of Discover Africa! Every detail, from the tailored itinerary to the incredible selection of lodges, exceeded our expectations. The staff at the lodges were remarkable, and the smooth airlifts and unique activities made the trip unforgettable. Every lodge had its own charm, with highlights like unforgettable wildlife sightings, luxurious amenities, and cultural excursions. Visiting during the rainy season was fantastic, with lush landscapes and no crowds. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience - highly recommend!

Thoughtful, thorough, responsive, and great organization of trip.
Organized a 10 day trip to Cape Town and a safari with Discover Africa. Fabulous experience with the travel, transportation, the tours, the safari, and give full credit to Chrizaan at Discover Africa with doing an outstanding job.
Spent a fair amount of time evaluating different tour organizers, largely using reviews such as this to identify good ones, and hopefully avoid working with less reputable companies. I rarely write reviews, but want to recommend people in a similar situation to strongly consider working with Discover Africa, especially if the rest of their company is staffed with people like Chrizaan. Collectively, we established timing, budget targets, and experiences. She provide suggestions for 4 days in Cape Town and recommendations for the type of safari experience I wanted (family of 5, all adult children). Even with a 7 hour time difference, communication was prompt, questions and details answered, and her suggestions were perfect. Our family had a fabulous time (Cape Town, Jock Safari Lodge) and would return in a heartbeat. I would not even consider using any other travel advisor.

Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable!
We had a fantastic experience with Discover Africa. Barry was so knowledgeable and helped us find the perfect lodge. His advice was spot on, and the lodge we chose (the one he recommended) exceeded all expectations. From arrival to departure, every need was anticipated and met, and the staff instantly felt like family. We were sad to leave, especially our host and our guide. The food was some of the best we have ever eaten; the room was gorgeous; and each day brought new adventures. In fact, we kept thinking it couldn’t any better— and then it did! We couldn’t have been happier with our experience and we look forward to our next trip.
