Susan was amazing, responsive, thoughtful and helpful.
Communication with Susan from Discover Africa was EXCELLENT. She was always readily available to answer any questions or concerns. Pricing was a bit on the higher end but you pay for peace of mind, their expertise and knowledge. Reliability was above and beyond. The tour itself was amazing. We did 4 days in a safari in Masai Mara and 4 days in Zanzibar. 2 days of the safari were at Basecamp (by far my favorite because it was very intimate lodge with amazing costumer service from every single one at the lodge). The other 2 days were at Keekorok Lodge (good to see the difference but a bigger lodge that felt like any other bigger hotel change. Not so intimate and costumer service was not up to par to Basecamp). Z hotel in Zanzibar was AMAZING, excellent views specially if you upgrade to a suite.

Megan was phenomenal. Always responded to every question we had
Megan took care of domestic flights and lodges for us.
She was always available when we wished to discuss anything about the trip with her.

WOW Trip of a Lifetime
First and foremost I want to say Thank You Antoinette for helping make our 1st trip to S. Africa all that and more.
I know it took several months to get it booked and you never made me feel like I was bothering you with all my emails asking for itinerary changes and bombarded you with all my questions.
On the contrary, your suggestions were always spot on and the quick response is why everyone needs an experienced Africa Travel Expert like yourself.
With your help, we have the memories of a lifetime and your country and people are BEAUTIFUL and KIND!
I will send you pics of our wonderful stay at Mostwari where we got to see the Big 5 and gorgeous view from Victoria Falls Safari Lodge.
Until next time,
Cary and CE

Great knowledge, experience and insight combined to make a great safari
Antoinette was great at providing options for different camps and different safari experiences and also giving us great advice on all things needed for our first safari. We felt in good hands throughout the whole experience and had a wonderful holiday .

Best trip EVER!
I can only begin in one place...and that's with Megan at Discover Africa. She was amazing, throughout the complete planning experience. We made multiple changes to our itinerary (Sorry again, Megan!!) and she took every one of them in stride and was extremely understanding and patient. She is a huge asset to Discover Africa and I can't say enough about her. She's just perfect!
Our trip through Discover Africa was the most memorable trip I've ever taken. We started in Johannesburg, moved to Kruger, followed by Capt Town and then down through Hermanus and Plettenberg Bay. Every step of the journey was perfect. There was not one problem with Discover and that says a LOT, especially when you've booked a 3-week trip, half way around the world.
We will definitely work with Megan again!

Vihann was very reactive and gave us excellent advice based on our needs
Very professional and tailor-made experience. Discover Africa was a great platform and guided us perfectly for our first trip in Africa. Would definitely go through them and especially Vihann to plan our next African adventures!

Solo Trip
I had wanted to go to Africa for a long time but as a young solo female traveller was slightly nervous. I decided to book through a company and Discover Africa were amazing.
I booked in 2019 for a trip in 2020 - then Covid hit. They were great with delaying my trip until 2021 and then 2022.
The trip itself was seamless - I was picked up at the airport and all my transfers throughout my stay were smooth. The locations that were selected for me were amazing.
Adelle was incredibly helpful and responsive whenever I had questions or concerns.
It was brilliant.

Very accommodating and helpful!
I think it’s important to first note that we originally booked this trip for a 2020 visit, and due to the outbreak of Covid, we had to postpone it … And postpone it again … And postpone it again … And then postpone it for health reasons … And then we were finally able to travel. Through each of these re-bookings, we had the option of getting a refund or to move forward. The company never once suggested that we would lose money as a result of all the rebookings; also, each time we rebooked we made slight changes, and Alice was very flexible and able to accommodate. Even wants we traveled, due to a slight passport glitch, Alice was able to jump in and assist us. The places we stayed were all excellent, the animal sightings were countless, the service, the food …. All were excellent! We truly enjoyed every minute of this experience of a lifetime!

Excellent - responsive, quick turn around, flexibility in dealing with COVID related issues
I had booked a trip with my nieces / nephew for July 2020, back in 2019. Needless to say, we did not go in 2020 - but DiscoverAfrica were great in assisting us to rebook and maintain the credit for 2021 - and then again for July 2022.
Good interaction with us in the prepping / documentation / what to pack, etc.
Trip was wonderful - seamless - transfer / flight / arrival and departure.
DiscoverAfrica staff also helped us recover a camera and charger we had left in the boarding area of the charter flight.
Very happy with the service provided.

The service we received from Discover Africa for our trip of a lifetime to Tanzania was excellent!
We are beyond words in our satisfaction with Discover Africa and especially our travel agent Vihann. When we initially spoke to Vihann about visiting he wanted to know what we hoped to see and do, as well as our budget. Vihann got back to us very quickly with the perfect personalized itinerary to celebrate our 45th. wedding anniversary. The main reason for going was to see the animals and the migration. That expectation was definitely fulfilled. Our itinerary planned by Vihann was perfect for us. We loved the people, food, accommodations and special touches provided by our hosts to make it unique. We were very well looked after throughout our trip. Vihann kept in contact to make sure everything was going well. What could be nicer than a private dinner and special celebration with music, dancing and champagne provided by our camp hosts! Our guides S.P in Ngorongoro and Andrew in Serengeti provided by Discover Africa were the best. They made sure we had many opportunities to take pictures of the animals and scenery. We were most impressed with their knowledge of the animals and culture. Our last few days spent at Nungwi Dreams Resort was a perfect ending to a perfect trip!
We are spreading the word to friends and family about your company. A trip like this should be on everyone’s “bucket list”. Kathy and Brad
