From start to finish, professionally handled.
We worked with Megan coordinating a trip to South Africa to visit our daughter, a teacher for the Peace Corps.
Her remote location meant there were some logistical issues right from the start..... We wanted to visit her , her host family,and her school before heading out. We trusted Megan's recommendations on travel, sights and experiences, and lodging and couldn't be happier the way it all turned out.
An unfortunate example of her expertise..... We were booked for 2 nights in Knysna, and the Knysna area experienced heart breaking wild fires just a short time before our trip. Our lodge literally burnt to the ground. Megan was able to seamlessly find excellent lodging nearby and the trip went on without a hitch.

What an experience!
Working with Megan from Discover Africa to setup our safari was a breeze. She manage to get us to all of the locations we wanted to get to and the camps we wanted to visit. She was incredibly responsive and helped us with any questions or problems we had. (Don't forget to find somewhere to store your hard sided suitcases when you switch to duffel bags!).
All of the Sanctuary Lodges blew our expectations out of the water. Our tracker Sky at Chief's Camp was amazing and we spent four hours one day tracking down a rhino until we finally managed to see it making our trip complete! The staff at all of the Sanctuary camps were incredibly and being able to go in either private or small groups (4 total people) game tracking made the experience infinitely better.
My only advice to fellow travelers would be to try to take a day trip to see Victoria Falls from the Chobe area instead of going to a camp in Zambia. We found the Botswana national parks to be an overall much better experience than those of Zambia.

Excellent!
We worked with Alice to plan the safari portion of our South Africa trip. Alice was wonderful to work with. She was very helpful with finding 2 safari locations within our budget. We considered both Botswana and South Africa, and she provided some great insight into each area. The vacation she planned went so smoothly! We were very impressed. The safari lodges and hotel in Joburg were excellent. I would definitely plan another safari through this company.

Wonderful service and great adventures!
Our travel consultant was knowledgeable, friendly and very responsive! I really appreciated the suggestions and the way she was willing to go the extra mile to ensure our trip was perfect. The safari was a great experience and one that I hope to repeat! I would definitely recommend Discover Africa to my friends.

Very professional and responsive engagement
We ended up booking with a different operator, but Discover Africa was very professional and prompt in their communication. Their offering/quote was very competitive. I gladly would have booked with them.
Unbelievable Experience
Our two week honeymoon to South Africa, Zambia and Mozambique went off without a hiccup. Throughout the process, Discover Africa was extremely prompt and responsive with any questions we had. When we initially booked our trip, Discover Africa provided recommendations and trip ideas to fit within our budget.
We recommend using this company.

Excellent Company and Staff
Booked a family holiday in South African, Botswana and Namibia with Megan from Discover Africa. I cannot praise them highly enough. Everything was spot on from the day we booked. What was surprising to me most Travel Companies book and forget but not Megan or Discover Africa. I regularly had emails and when it came to our trip a bon voyage they were amazing. The Hotels and lodges were beautiful and service second to none. I am from the UK and been travelling to the African sub continent twice a year since 1994. This is by far the best company i have ever dealt with. Trust me call or email and leave it to the 10star+. Well done all of you.

Perfect arrangements & Fast Service
We spent 10 days in SA going around many places in Dec'16. Every aspect was arranged perfectly and went really smooth. Our flight to CapeTown was very delayed and our pickup vehicle couldn't find us but the attention provided to us through customer service was really quick & professional and we got our pickup arranged in no time. Our special thanks to the Megan & Matthys for taking special care in suggesting the best ones considering our 2 young boys and our group of 8. Even though we have travelled across the world quite a lot we wanted to go with private guided tour this time and i should say we got the best guides from HiltonRoss arranged by DiscoverAfrica team during our CapeTown stay. The whole trip was very memorable just because of the people part of Discover Africa group.

Discover Africa - Fantastic Private Tour - trip of a lifetime!
We were two couples looking for private tour arrangements and, after considering multiple consultants, decided on Discover Africa as our consultant. Our trip to Africa was extraordinarily designed and managed, from the route, travel arrangements and tour guides, to the time spent in each location. All travel arrangements went perfectly, including the fantastic tours and hotels. We asked our consultant, Megan Warrington, for high end accommodations which were not that much more costly than the next level down, worth every penny and more!!! Thank you Megan and Discover Africa for your well chosen arrangements and vendor partners. Our very high expectations were far exceeded.....Trip of a lifetime!

Trip of a Lifetime (Cape Town, Kruger Area, Victoria Falls)
Megan and Discover Africa did an amazing job helping us plan our trip. During the trip we kept thinking man are we glad that we didn't have to think about planning that. We booked over 16 months prior to our trip and were planning 3 months prior to that. Any and all questions were answered in a timely manner, any accommodations that we asked for were planned, shuttles were on time. Basically everything that one would ask for from a safari operator we received. Also we had a snafu with luggage and flight delay getting out of the US that we called on the day of and they took care of everything on the backend to a new hotel we needed, to letting our hotel know we wouldn't be there, to telling our rental car company that we wouldn't be there. We are already talking about returning to South Africa in the future, and we will be calling Discover Africa again to help us book!
