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.
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.

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.

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!

Spectacularly Customized Honeymoon Experience with Discover Africa
Discover Africa was the only tour operator I reached out to who wanted to have a Skype conversation to get to know more and my husband & my tastes and preferences. Megan Warrington was wonderful to work with - she crafted our activities and accommodations to our requests and everything went very smoothly while we were on the trip. She was very prompt at answering many of our questions leading up to the trip, and she made a few changes we wanted very easily.

Amazingly diverse safaris in Botswana - first by boat then by jeep - doesn't get any better!
After shopping around for a couple of months, Discover Africa was the one who had the most diverse options for the price. Megan Warrington always responded quickly and was professional and patient with my endless questions. Discover Africa teamed up with some wonderful tour providers who were truly dedicated to providing the best possible experience for their clients. I will be recommending Discover Africa to my friends who have a safari on their bucket list!
