The Serengeti: Big Cats, Big Herds, The Big Five, the Best Guide
My early July eight-day safari was supposed to capture the Mara River crossings but the herds failed to cooperate and had only just reached the river on the last day. Nonetheless the safari was a fabulous success. We flew from Zanzibar directly to Lake Manyara to minimize drive times and spend more days on game drives. Antoinette put our trip together: the lake, Ngorongoro Crater, the Central Serengeti and the Northern Serengeti. Our guide delivered the goods. Penuel Tango had a vast knowledge of both the animals and the lay of the land along with a fully equipped and fully working vehicle that made the daily game drives easy and fun. Not only did he know where to find the prized critters, he could spot them from far away when all we could see were grass and trees. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, rhinos, elephants, buffalo, and the great herds were all open to us on every drive. He knew the stories of lion prides in the area. Our goal was to see as many animals as we could and we did. We were up close and personal with lions, cheetahs and leopards on every drive. He was patient made waiting for action a priority and in being so we were often had "private" viewings of the big cats.
The huge herds of the Northern Serengeti were a wonder to see and experience up close as they made their way north and Penuel knew all about them, their habits and life cycles.
Overnight lodging was the lesser part of each day but Antoinette arranged great camps with good food and accommodations that all had very attentive and friendly staff. Boxed lunches provided for game drives were sufficient and varied. July is peak season for safaris and we saw and learned about the experiences of others. Not all were perfect. Not all were well planned. Broken vehicles and bad guides happen. With Discover Africa we didn't have any troubles anytime during the adventure. The planning time Antoinette spent with me up front paid off mightily. Zoom calls with her topped trying to do things only by email.
Everything happened right on time and without any hitches. Flights were smooth and effortless, accommodations seamless, Guide interactions perfect. Excellent work all around.

Seamless Experience !
Megan, thank you!
I am so pleased I worked a 6 night Safari into my Itinerary.
3 nights, 2 days in each park was simply perfect.
Jock Safari Lodge in Kruger was outstanding in all areas, I recommend without hesitation.
Further north, the Sabi Sands provided excellent sightings.

Highly Recommend! Planned a trip of a lifetime.
I would highly recommend Megan Warrington from Discover Africa. She planned the trip of a lifetime for my family! She was professional, service oriented and every detail was done perfectly. During the trip, Megan reached out to check in to see how things were going and she also offered her own personal phone number should we need anything. Megan went above and beyond and I could not recommend a better travel agent. We will be using her in the future. Thank you.

Susan read our minds and gave us the best trip!!
I first contacted Susan last September when I first thought we were going to take our dream trip to Africa. She got back to me quickly, and showed me an itinerary I didn’t think was possible with our budget. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to do that trip due to flight issues, so when we were able to reschedule for June, I immediately contacted her. Once again, she worked her magic and gave us a trip we thought we could’ve only dreamed about. I would recommend Susan to anyone. The trip she sent us on made us fall in love with Africa, so much that we want to get married there. When we do, I will definitely send me friends and family to her if they want to extend their trips and see more of Africa. If you don’t book with Susan, you are missing out! Thank you, Susan, for the trip of a lifetime.

Superb
Working with Discover africa on our South African safari was absolute wonderful. We had to worry about next to nothing because they provided so much support and assistance. It was a true experience of a lifetime, and we so appreciate all of the time and effort they put into making every detail perfect.

Well organized and always available
We booked our honeymoon safari trip with Discover Africa after we had gone through intensive research to find the perfect Botswana Trip. We couldn't find a solution that covers all our bases ourselves. Susan from Discover Africa took on our request and was able to find as the perfect trip at Chobe National Park and Okavango Delta. She communicated very frequently with us and understood exactly what we were looking for. She was able to form a trip plan for us very quickly, and with a few small tweaks we were able to agree on the trip details and booked immediately.
The safari trip was managed very well. All necessary documents were provided with the app that had the trip itinerary available for offline viewing. Once we arrived in Botswana, all aspects of transport, game drives, food and accommodation were handled by the lodges and we barely had to lift a finger. We stayed at Elephant Valley Lodge in Chobe and Kadizora in Okavango Delta. Both lodges were amazing and the food was great. The game drives were stunning and well spaced out to allow us to rest and relax in-between. We never felt rushed throughout the trip.
Overall, Discover Africa Safaris was great to work with and they organized a fantastic honeymoon safari trip for us. Will definitely be using them again for future safaris!
