Excellent tailor-made family trip to Namibia
I really felt looked after by Megan and her colleagues at Discover Africa since the first point of contact.
They really tried to understand our interests before coming up with their proposals, and came up with very useful information and ideas about possible itineraries, different modes of transport and lodges. Megan has been very patient while we were evaluating all possible scenarios and kept fine-tuning the proposal until we came up with the perfect itinerary, within our budget and in the lodges that we had selected.
All the lodges, activities and transportation were just perfect and exactly as described.
During the trip we didn't even need to contact Discover Africa, as everything ran very smoothly.
Highly recommended!

Fantastic safari, excellent logistics and service for a fair price
After initially contacting Discover Africa, Karl Svendsen contacted me and we started the process of getting a quote and defining an itinerary for a safari to Tanzania. Karl was extremely professional and timely in his responses and in short we had it all sorted out. He answered my questions with accuracy and even though the planning took a few months, all went smoothly.
When the time came, Karl assisted me with some last minute questions and sent me all what we needed to go (my wife, our two kids and me). Upon arrival, the guide, Seph was expecting us at the airport and from there a fantastic experience was started. All the details of the trip had been professionally handled and there were no surprises (well, there were plenty... but of the good ones!). The hotels were up to the expectation, food was delicious and the guide was very, very knowledgable and did a great job in helping with our kids (3 and 7 yrs old). We went to lake Manyara, Nogorongoro and Serengeti. Seph was very skilled in helping us find good game to watch, and doing so in a safe way. He was very well aware of the rules of each park and while always respecting them, he found the best opportunities for us to enjoy the animals of all kinds.
I can only say, this agency is a great deal: the price is very competitive and they work with you to design an experience for your budget and expectations. Next time I go to Africa I will, with no hesitation, use them again.

FIRST EXPERIENCE, BUT NOT THE LEAST (I HOPE ...).
It is the first travel in Africa for us.
I'm Marco 56 yo, travelling with my guys: Filippo 24 yo and Gianluca 20 yo.
Even if for the first time, we tried to experience something real, safe but non absolutely easy and guided.
We visited Botswana, Moremi and Chobe, with a fast escape in Zimbabwe to Victoria Falls, by Toyota Land Cruiser double roof tends, perfectly equipped.
Megan Warrington planned a travel various, smart, perfect for our expectances; assistance, communications, service, living up were excellent.
We prove gratitude to Megan because African journey is established into our hearts!
Marco, Filippo e Gianluca.

Blew Expectations out of the water!!!
We looked into three different Safari Tour companies while researching the vacation of a lifetime. Discover Africa proved to be the best fit for us with seemingly unlimited options, flexible budget and the true ability to customize every step of the itinerary. After working briefly with Director Steve K. we were assigned Megan W. as our Personal Consultant. She was terrific!
After bombarding her with questions, which she answered each one calmly and thoroughly. We then proceeded to flip flop destinations, cut a few days here and there and switch a few accommodations that exceeded our budget. She handled all of this with ease. Her knowledge was impressive and her personal experience was more than enough to guide us and recommend different safari options and even a cooking class (which she had personally attended).
Once our rapid fire questions dried up, and the numbers fell to a comfortable place for those of us traveling, there was nothing left to do but get our shots and book our flights. Done and done.
Lastly, I would like to compliment Discover Africa not just for setting up our journey but also the incredible smoothness which we were able to get from one location to another. We traveled for 21 days, stayed in 9 different lodges/hotels, visited 4 countries and even rented a car for a portion; this could not have gone any better. Drivers and transfers were early, prepared with water and safely delivered us on time, like we were VIPs.
In one instance, our flight was canceled by the airline without our knowledge. When we returned to the lodge, we had an email from Megan plus a note waiting for us at reception informing us that the flight was canceled, we were being re-booked and we would have new boarding passes the following morning. This is what set Discover Africa head and shoulders above the rest.
Our trip to Africa was incredibly memorable, which it could have been with any of the tour operators, surely. I will however, recommend any friends, family and anyone who will listen to use Discover Africa for their travel to Africa. I cannot praise them highly enough. Thank you Megan, for making this special trip, just that.

AMAZING
I enjoyed the entire experience. Megan Warrinington, Discover Africa, was wonderful. I told her what I was looking for in a Safari and she delivered. I was picked up promptly at the airport in Maun and flown to Moremi Game Reserve where the accommodations were very nice. The staff was extremely friendly and I enjoyed the mokoro rides.
From there I was flown to Pom Pom Camp which I fell in love with, the guides and staff were fantastic. Accommodations were wonderful. Everything worked out and I was able to see a leopard kill an impala, and got to see the leopard's cub. Highly recommend booking with Megan in the future. I also was very impressed with Moremi Air, the outfit that picked me up in Maun, let me store my luggage (no cost) and took me to the various camps.
Thank you for an amazing adventure.

They make it happen!
We had a safari holiday which was beyond amazing thanks to the help of Megan Warrington.
She carefully curated the itinerary taking into account the dates that we had to travel and the arrangement of my husband joining us later.
Her recommendation were properly chosen in terms of the budget, comfort and services.
She saw to it that we went to Kapama Private Reserve - home to the Big 5.
Megan responded to all our queries including the recommended wear and gear!
She followed up very closely to ensure that all are in place. She even sought feedback after.
We will definitely use this service again!

in 11 days nothing failed, all logistics perfectly coordinated, the guides were the best.
the communications were perfect , the guides in safari lodges are very knowledgeble in wild life and nature, they were incredible.
the safari itself was unbeliveble, we could see the big five except Rynos, we saw leopards hunting impalas and bringing it up to the tree and feeding their cubs, Lions, elephants girafes, hippos, wild dogs all the wild life in Okavango delta. The landscape, the colors, the smell...
we flew over in a small plane with 6 seats, and during 45 min we didn't see any population, nothing than nature.
The lodges are very integrated in the nature and the service is very intimistic, everybody seats at one table to have breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The only thing to point out is that the lodges should be renovated as they look slightly worned out.

Perfectly tailormade tour taking all our wishes and requests into consideration.
Best tailormade presentation seen and all expectstions fulfilled or beyond.
A fabulous holiday put together with everything we asked for, definitely would recommend them.
We had an amazing tour of South Africa, Capetown, Winelands and Garden Route. Every hotel we stayed in was amazing, with a warm welcome, and excellent service.
We could not have asked for better advice from Discover Africa.
