Friendly, efficient and very helpful in all aspects of organising our safari in Botswana.
Right from the initial enquiry we were given useful advice on the type of trip to do in Botswana in February, the booking was handled efficiently, and all contact was of a friendly and courteous nature. We had some issues with our international flights, but our consultant (Judy Burrows) helped us to resolve these despite not having been involved in the booking process. The safari itself ran very smoothly, from being met off our flight and assisted through the airport in Maun by representatives of the charter flight company (Moremi), through all the transfers between camps, and a final meet and transfer to our hotel at the end of our trip. The camps were all of an excellent standard, and we had many memorable sightings of animals and birds. The guides were very knowledgeable and skilled at tracking predators in particular. The food was excellent, and rooms comfortable and clean. It was good to see that the safari company (Kwando) employed mainly local people at all levels including management, and the inclusion of a short session of singing and dancing by camp staff before dinner one night was a highlight of the holiday. I would definitely use Discover Africa again for future trips.

Ill never travel without an agent again
Discover Africa was my first time using a travel agent. I was a bit nervous hiring a company online whom I'd never heard of, and then sending thousands of dollars over to. All I could hope for was that there was someone waiting for us when we showed up at the airport.
I had a ton of confidence immediately though as Adelle (our agent) answered all of my questions, updated our itinerary with new changes, and gave great recommendations for activities - as well as incorporating our own itinerary for a private Sheldrick Trust viewing. She was super helpful leading up to our trip.
Her true value really showed when we got there, though. She was easy to reach when we had questions and made adjustments in the moment for us. I got sick 3 days in and had to stay in the hospital for a few days, causing us to miss an entire part of our itinerary and two flights. Adele jumped into action with her local rep and made sure that we were taken care of, that our flights were completely rebooked (and we paid no extra money), and even got us a refund from the accomodation we were supposed to stay in! It was absolutely amazing.
The safari we were supposed to go to also got flooded so our accomodation got moved. It was a perfectly seamless transition for us, even though I imagine it was quite a bit of chaos behind the scenes. We got upgraded to a nicer camp and had transportation ready and waiting at each and every step.
I would recommend Discover Africa to every single person considering a trip to Africa. We for sure wouldn't have been able to do all ourselves!

Megan found us the perfect honeymoon safari experience
My wife and I spent a while doing research and talked to several groups to find the perfect balance of price, location, and luxury we were looking for on our 3 night safari as part of a honeymoon trip to South Africa. Megan Warrington and her team understood exactly what we were looking for and found the perfect option for us (Jock Safari Lodge) that we wouldn't have uncovered otherwise. Not only that, but Discover Africa was so easy to deal with, very responsive any time we had questions, and provided just the right amount of communication in the lead up to our trip.
Frankly, I didn't expect to enjoy the safari experience as much as I did. But it was incredible and now I'm trying to figure out a way to do it again. I'll certainly be contacting Megan and Discover Africa for their guidance next time as well.

Fabulous intro to South Africa!
Everything was as expected. Our vacation was amazing from transfers to lodging to activities. We had one small hiccup with a transfer; I contacted Discover Africa via email and Alice was immediately digging into the problem and guaranteeing no more issues. Our 2 safari lodges were incredible. I would definitely use Discover Africa again!

Honeymoon Adventure
Communicating with our Discover Africa agent was a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Tanya was quick to respond to questions that popped up along the way, and proactive in making sure our specific needs were taken care of. From recommendations around the safari location, to travel logistics - she had it all covered! It brought us a huge sense of relief as we had some minor anxiety about being first time travelers to South Africa. Would highly recommend working with Discover Africa, based on our experience with Tanya Ellis.

Judy promptly answered all of our questions, was patient with our ever-changing plans, and coordinated an unforgettable trip for us. Can highly recommend.

Awesome Experience in Sabi Sabi!
Megan and Alice were extremely helpful in setting up our customized safari at the little bush camp in Sabi Sabi! We couldn’t be more pleased with their service and the safari and lodge were above and beyond our expectations! We saw a great variety of animals and even were able to have an encounter with lions on a walking safari! My wife and I couldn’t be more happy with the overall experience and would recommend both Discover Africa and Little Bush Camp to anyone looking for a luxurious safari experience at a great price!
