A gem
I lucked out with this one. I don't know if it's Discover Africa or its agent Matthys who is to credit, but the treatment I received was way beyond expectation. Matthys invested a lot of thought and effort in devising a month long trip and customizing it time and again by my comments. Prices were fair too.
I highly recommend them with no reservations whatsoever

Extreme Experience!
We had an extremely good experience booking through Megan Warrington at Discover Africa. We provided an approximate budget and our wish list and she put together an amazing trip. Our number one objective was to see leopards and secondary the other big cats. We took a 5 day safari that included two lodges; Jock Lodge and Arathusa Safari Lodge. When we were finished we had seen 6 leopards and 3 prides of lions, sadly no cheetahs, but we found that was not unusual. We preferred the Jock Lodge because the location seemed much more remote and untouched, however the accommodations and food were superb. Arathusa Safari Lodge was nice, but the area does not seem as remote, you see lots of other vehicles, roads are everywhere and at night you can see lights from outside the park. This is not a knock on this location, if we had only gone there we would have been very pleased, it's just hard to compare with Jock's in our opinion. Back to Megan, she was fantastic and kept us well informed at all times. Everything happened exactly as they were supposed to and very smoothly. We have only been back a couple of weeks and already considering another trip to Africa with our adult children and we will definitely use Megan and Discover Africa for our booking.

Excellent service, great places, punctual to the minute!
It has been a great experience to have Discover Africa to organise our luxury safari to Botswana. We have experienced great attention by Matthys van Aswegen from the first contact onwards. At the last minute one of our party of four had to arrive on a later flight in Maun, but Matthys fixed the schedule, and the person flew to the lodge on small plane. The party even managed to get together for the first game drive at Leroo La Tau. We stayed in three lodges, all were great, all of the staff amazing (they nursed their guests), and we enjoyed watching the animals and birds (more than 100 species). Everything was as promised and if anything better than expected.
Highly recommended!

Kenya and Uganda Safari Experience
Booked safari adventure in Kenya at main Governor's Camp and in Uganda at the Silverback Lodge. Both experiences were outstanding and exceeded expectations. Also booked the hot air balloon safari and it was breathtaking to include seeing the sun rise as we began our journey over the Maasai Mara. All bush plane connections/flights were on time and a nice addition to our adventure. Gorilla Trekking was beyond compare and while quite strenous, well worth the effort. Walking sticks and porters made the journey much easier!
All accomodations were superb and the food was outstanding! Breakfast in the bush and happy hour cocktails all added to the experience in the wild observing a wide variety of animals up close.

Wonderful Experience In Kenya!
This was the perfect tour for us. We had a good driver who very kind & take care of us, the scheduled was great & everything went as planned. We excited to see the animals migration in this season especially when the animals running on the grassland & we saw them from Hot Air Ballon early in the morning! Feel so GREAT!!
I'm highly recommend "Discover Aftica" if you're looking for small & private tour in Africa.

Great tour operator!
Both Megan who helped us during the decision process, and later Alice who helped us when Megan went on maternity leave, are excellent.
We highly recommend this organization to help build an itinerary, and then execute with their agents.
At every airport or hotel their representatives were there to receive us and look after us.
Every tour was thoughtfully arranged to our needs and desires.
This was the best vacation ever!

Brilliant. Megan was efficient, on the ball and prepared everything.
The best holiday without any cares or worries. The whole package of information with our itinerary etc was beautifully presented and explained everything. Very professional.
The accommodation was perfect and the staff at Ilala Lodge, Sanctuary Stanley's Camp and Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero Lodge were so welcoming and helpful. Special mention must be made of Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero Lodge. It must be the flagship Sanctuary Lodge in the world! The staff there were exceptional and saw to every detail and beyond. Towels shaped into swans or hearts etc. on the beds with bougainvillea flowers around them. They went the extra mile.
The tour guides at both safari lodges were so knowledgeable and accommodating in trying to find wonderful places for sun-downers and morning teas and in finding lion etc. We felt safe in their hands and it was great to be able to joke and laugh with them.
Thank you to all who made our holiday a wonderful experience.

Brilliant Tanzanian Safari
The Tanzanian safari itinerary set up by Discover Africa was everything we could have hoped for, and more.
The lodges (Maramboi, Pakulala, and Nasikia) all came with excellent hospitality, accommodations, and food.
Special accolades to our two guides - Ebebezer and Henri. Both gentlemen made for perfect hosts. Any visitor would be lucky to have either one as their host in Tanzania.
Oh, and we can’t forget to mention the incredible things we saw while on safari!
