Excellent Service
My family and I went on a vacation and Safari in December 2022. We visited Capetown and private game reserves around Johannesburg. I coordinated our trip with Discover Africa and our assigned consultant Susan S.
We really enjoyed our trip, which was very well coordinated and hassle free which was really important to me. Right from the itinerary, domestic flights check, rental car and sight seeing suggestions on what to do in Capetown.
Our consultant Susan S, was "first class", and she even checked in with up during our vacation on how things were going.
We had a slight hiccup in one of our in the hotel we were staying in Capetown, but the hotel made appropriate adjustments, and Discover Africa also followed up and made sure appropriate adjustments were made. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation!
If you are looking for a stress free and well coordinated and relaxing vacation, recommend Discover Africa. "Five Stars" for our consultant, Susan S who was wonderful and really a pleasure to work with. Thanks Susan!!!!!

Very helpful, responsive and made my travel planning!
Megan Warrington from Discover Africa was awesome. I actually used two different operators for safaris (Megan for South Africa and another for Botswana) and she was a lot more timely, helpful and organized. Also, Megan can handle your bookings in Botswana as well so in hindsight, I should have used her for all my travels!

Experienced and wants what is best for you
We had the most amazing experience with Susan who went above and beyond to make sure our first time in South Africa was pleasurable and one to remember. Susan was patient with us while we scrambled with dates and decided to change what we wanted to do half way through our holiday. She also made sure to match us perfectly with a safari tour that would fit our active lifestyles so we were kept busy throughout the days. Our tour was most incredible, the value for money was well beyond what we paid for and we saw all the animals we were wanting to see plus more! Thank you Susan, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and appreciate your expertise and knowledge of South Africa while organising our trip.
Perfection!
Megan was amazing.
Due to covid our plans changed quite a few times.
Megan kept in contact fir 2 years during the pandemic.
My husband and i eoyld make plans,then have to change them .Megan was patient ,informative and amazing.
She planned our dream trip to Zimbabwe. It was perfect.
Helicopter flight,micro flight,guided tour of the falls and fishing on the zambezi river. I would book with her again.

Incredibly knowledgeable and always wanting to help.
We have had an incredible experience in South Africa and we can thank discover Africa and our agent Vihann for that. We have no complaints with the experiences organised, the transfers, or the accomodations; it was pretty much perfect all around. If there is one note for improvement it would be that we felt that White River where we stayed for a few nights was quite remote for doing the panoramic tour and we thought Graskop might have been more central. But overall a 10/10 expereince.

Highly experienced, knowledgeable, polite, responsive, honest Safari tour operator.
Discover Africa , and Matthys van Aswegen in particular, was a pleasure to work with. Firstly, his patience and understanding is a true fine attributive of his. We started talking about a safari to South Africa in mid 2019. We had both phone calls and email exchanges, and he was always responsive with concrete intelligent answers. In fact, he sent me many options/packages that were only in Kruger, and others that included Botswana, whatever combination I asked him for , he put together happily. However , by the end of 2019, not knowing about Covid yet, we simply weren't ready to go on Safari yet. He never put any pressure and was quite understanding. We then spent most of 2020 emailing back and forth again during the pandemic, with many more questions and options. In Dec 2020, I finally booked a Safari with him to Mala Mala camp in Sabi Sands(one camp , 4 nights, seven game drives), as well as visits to Johannesburg and Cape Town. We continued to exchange emails during 2021, updating and tweaking the itinerary, when suddenly the Omicron variant hit during Thanksgiving. Since there was MUCH uncertainty with Omicron and our trip was a few weeks away, I couldn't take chance with my family's well-being and potentially getting stuck in South Africa. So I postponed the entire trip for a year to Dec 2022. Matthys, once Again, was only understanding and flexible! He helped me re-book everything to Dec 2022 AND I even rearranged the itinerary completely, and he was accommodating and cooperative. He was also able to transfer all of my pre-payments for Mala Mala, other hotels, flights, to Dec 2022 so that not one penny was lost! In short, he was amazing ! We just returned a few days ago and the safari at Mala Mala was something me and family will always treasure. We also very much enjoyed Cape Town and the winelands! Discover Africa gets an A+ !

My tour operator was professional and helped me find the safari trip of a life time!
Experiencing a South African safari with Discover Africa was the best trip I have ever taken. The trip was well organized and all of my questions were answered. I was traveling alone and every detail of the trip was taken care of by Alice. I would highly recommend Discover Africa it was reliable and affordable.

Amazing! Adelle helped me book the trip only three days in advance!!
I'm a last-minute kind of guy... I had an idea to go on a safari on a Wednesday night; I contacted Adelle the following day and flew with my daughter on a trip of a lifetime the following Sunday! Adelle took care of every small detail to ensure we had the best experience, staying at the most amazing places in Kruger! Highly recommended!!

Susan’s knowledge about itinerary locations was excellent and helped us make better choices.
Planning our first self-driving tour of Namibia involved a considerable amount of back and forth with our travel advisor, over email and video chats. Susan provided us with a good itinerary that we were able to adjust to suite our desires and our travel dates. She provided timely answers to all of our questions. The vehicle from the local leasing agent was in excellent shape. All the equipment worked well and our mix of bed & breakfast and campsites were fantastic. I would certainly book through Discover Africa Safaris again and recommend them without reservation.
The greatest experience we've had using an agency!
Megan from Discover Africa was unbelievably professional, helpful, and responsive. She provided the best experience, and everything went according to plan. We are so so happy with our experience using Discover Africa to stay at the Simbavati Lounge in Kruger park. When we go back to Africa, we will absolutely be using their services again!
