Wonderful vacation went off without a hitch
good communication, no problems, instructions clear and were well taken care of
Very efficient service to get us on safari in a wonderful reserve.
The whole experience was excellent with a very efficient booking system and the airport pick-up was right on time. The accommodation was very comfortable and the lodge was top class. The food was a very high standard and the staff were extremely helpful. The morning and evening game drives were very informative and we saw everything that I expected to see over the 2 days.

The trip was put together in a very seamless way.
Living afar and trusting in an organisation with whom you have no previous knowledge can lead to feeling of mis trust and wondering whether what we have paid for actually exists. A little more proactive communication would have eased those feelings. In the end, it was all perfect. The choice of lodges, the timing of travel, the flights, and the whole experience was worth every single penny. Thank you so much for such a memorable trip.

First class experience
I found the company first class. All my questions were answered quickly and sensibly. Megan, with whom I dealt throughout, was helpful and patient and responded to any questions or queries I had rapidly and efficiently.
The price paid was competitive.
All told everything happened as it should in an effortless fashion.
Full marks.

Professional and efficient.
Planning the trip was managed extremely well especially since travel was at a busy time of year and not much notice was given. All communication was by email, responded to promptly and efficiently. Different options were provided along with recommendations based on local experience. Best of all, everything went according to plan and overall result was a stress free trip. I would recommend Discover Africa to my associates and friends.

Worked very hard to fulfill all my requirements.,
First rate communications. My agent ( Megan) was attentive to my requests and did her best to meet all my very demanding requirements. Everything that she arranged was excellent - I have one complaint, but it was not the fault of Discover Africa but the Tour Operator themselves.

Ruby wedding anniversary holiday with our family - Discover Africa delivered the dream trip
It was a pleasure dealing with Matthys at Discover Africa from start to finish. He made everything as simple and easy as possible. Our trip was tremendous and we would fully recommend anyone planning a safari trip to Africa to use Discover Africa. Well done to the team and sincere thanks from all of us in “the Wood party”!
They delivered on all promises timely and accurately!
Matthys was our agent and he was wonderful about communicating with us. We had never done a trip like this before and we're nervous about traveling so far from home. Also my wife had major mobility issues that had to be considered. All our accommodation and travel connections were in perfect order. We truly had the experience of our lifetime!

Exceptional service for our last minute family holiday
Wow, what an incredible experience! This was our first time in the Maldives and we were blown away by the landscape, the service before and on the trip and the fact that we were actually able to have a relaxing holiday with a one year old.
We decided to travel very last minute but Discover Africa made it so easy. Within a few days they had sorted out our itinerary and accommodation. We were a bit uncertain about traveling our one year old so they went the extra mile to make sure the accommodation suited our needs perfectly. It was almost effortless for us and really set the tone for an unforgettable holiday.
The resort (Adaaran Select) is super well kept and clean. The beach villas are located right on the water and they have everything you need. I particularly liked the outdoor bathrooms. Everyone at the resort made us feel super welcome and the quality of service was outstanding. My husband got some great waves at Lohis and was well looked after by the surf team. I had some exceptional dives and really enjoyed yoga classes in the mornings.
Alice at Discover Africa listened our requests, understood the type of holiday we were looking for and put together a perfect break for us, quickly and efficiently. We will definitely book with them in the future. Thanks again!

Trip of a lifetime with Discover Africa
We found Safari Bookings online and chose Discover Africa after reading the excellent reviews. Megan contacted us by email the next day and we began the process of picking out a trip with her help. We decided on a stay split between Arathusa Lodge in the Sabi Sands reserve and Jock Safari Lodge in Kreuger. Megan arranged all transfers, bookings, internal flights, etc. from Johannesburg airport and back to the airport after our vacation. There were absolutely no issues with her arrangements. She kept us up to date with emails and totally fulfilled all of her promises to us. I told her this would be a trip of a lifetime for us, but now that we are home we are starting to plan another trip back to Africa and we will use Megan to make our arrangements again. The lodges she chose were perfect for us. We flew in to the Arathusa private airstrip and were taken to the lodge. That afternoon we went on our first of four game drives from Arathusa. We saw rhino, giraffe, leopards, hyenas, lions, elephants, and so forth. Our ranger and spotter were very knowledgeable about the animals and explained their habits. Jock Lodge in Krueger has a history going back to the beginnings of the establishment of the park. The game drives there also amazing. If anything, we saw more big cats and elephants than in the Sabi-Sands area. On our last game drive we saw four female lions surround a small herd of buffalo and attack successfully. If you have ever wanted to see the African plain and its animals get in touch with Megan at Discover Africa.
