Informative website, Megan was friendly and very helpful, great deal
Using Discover Africa was a great decision. Their website had plenty of details and pictures to explain and show what they were offering. The various safaris listed had prices listed though they were from the previous year but it did give me a ball park figure that allowed me to make a more informed decision. Also, when I finally did contact them about the trip, I got a timely reply and was set up to speak with Megan who would arrange the trip. She was very informative and listened to my requests regarding the trip (travel style, animals I wished to see). Fortunately, I was flexible with my dates and Megan was very good at coordinating my final date choice. Megan was very good at keeping me updated on my trip status and answered any questions I had before the trip (most communication was through email).
Considering what the final price was, in the end I felt it was an excellent deal. All staff (driver-guide, lodge staff) were extremely friendly and helpful. Our guide was knowledgeable and experienced but fun as well. Being a single traveler was not a problem, and in the end, it worked out perfectly with the other 5 members of my group. And turns out the other 5 members were friendly, intelligent and fun as well, we got along very well.
FYI: I chose the 10 day safari going through Tanzania and Kenya

Our tour consultant Susan was fabulous - put together a great itinerary and was very responsive.
We set up a trip to visit CapeTown, Stellenbosch, Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park and Victoria Falls. That was a lot to squeeze into two weeks, but we wouldn’t have dropped anything off, just stayed a little longer so we would have had a minimum of 2 nights at every stop. The highlights were wine tasting in Stellenbosch, touring CapeTown, our fabulous stay off the grid in the Okavango Delta, game drives in Chobe, and seeing Victoria Falls. We had a group of 16 so no small task to get an itinerary that suited all, but Susan was very patient as we had to shift dates due to school schedules. We had 7 children in our group and everyone along the way was very accommodating. Our group was very compatible however, so all in all we enjoyed the camaraderie. No big issues along the way - just some minor problems. Some of us got sick for a day but it passed quickly and we only had to drop off a game drive or two. The food was wonderful and every place we stayed at set up one big table where we could dine together. Susan kept in close contact along the way and fixed a few things for us. The trip was great value for the money! Can’t wait to go back!!

Excellent Service Awesome Safari Experience with Discover Africa and Susan Swanepoel
We worked with Susan Swanepoel from Discover Africa and had the superior service and support from her before and during the trip. Susan recommended the full itinerary including guided tour on Panoramic route , two great Safari lodges in Kruger National Park , and the flight to Cape Town. We booked the tour with Susan and loved it. All went smooth and was well organized. All our drivers were knowledgeable , professional and punctual. Safari was amazing and our guides were excellent. Susan even checked us in for the flight from Kruger to Cape Town and was checking with us several time through our trip, addressing questions, etc., to make sure everything goes on plan.
We would happily recommend Susan and Discover Africa to anyone who looks to plan Safari and South Africa travel. We'd definitely work with Susan again next time we plan to come to South Africa

Diane put together the perfect itinerary for what we were lookin for.
My wife and I wanted to visit South Africa and knew it had plenty of different hot spots to visit, however we weren’t sure what locations to chose or what hotel accommodations to stay at. After reaching out to Diane at Safari Bookings, she set up a phone call with us and asked us everything we’d like to do while in country. A few days later, she had set up the perfect itinerary for what we were looking for. It included everything from in-country flights to hotel reservations, as well as scheduled transportation.
We just returned from our trip and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. Everything that Diane set up for us was spot on for what we were looking at. Could not recommend enough!

Discovery Africa designed the safari of my dreams.
Discovery Africa curated a spectacular safari trip for me. It was my very first safari in Africa (solo traveler), and I didn't have many specific suggestions other than wanting a genuine safari experience in Botswana with a focus on animals. I put my trust in the hands of Antoinette, one of Discovery Africa's travel experts. She created an amazing itinerary that allowed me to visit three different places in Botswana: Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, Moremi Game Reserve, and Chobe National Park, as well as the famous Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean side. I also had the opportunity to experience accommodation in both camps and lodges to determine what best suited me.
I love nature and don't feel comfortable in overcrowded places. The diversity of animals was breathtaking. The accommodation was luxurious while blending nicely into the bush environment. Everything went very smoothly, from my airport pickup to my departure home. The quality of accommodation, food, service, and management—particularly at Leroo La Tau and Camp Moremi—was among the kindest I have ever encountered.
I highly recommend Discovery Africa as your tour operator. I will definitely work with them in the future.

We were debating to book via agent or do it ourselves as we are looking for malaria free safari. Glad we booked with Discover Africa Safari, you cannot bet local knowledge. We were in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Madikwe Hill Game Reserve. They tailor made our trip including hotels private transfers and flights,luxuries all the way. Adelle informed the hotels about my leg injury and we were given easy accessible rooms. Throughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended
