Very accommodating and great at communicating in a timely manner
Our party of seven had a great time on our trip to Africa. All the accommodations, tours and travel connections were terrific. We left for Africa on a Tuesday and 13 days later arrived back home and never had to worry about anything. The itinerary was varied and everything was enjoyable.

Planning the Perfect Safari Vacation
Our vacation planner (Megan Warrington) listened to our requests from the outset. She made great suggestions regarding the timing, guided us through the selection of the hotels/lodges and activities and created the absolutely perfect vacation for us. She was in constant contact with us throughout the process and guided us through every aspect of our trip from travel, visas, transfers, packing, tipping, etc. Nothing was left to chance. And during our trip, she provided personal contact information in case we encountered any glitches. When we experienced a minor problem (room assignment at one of the lodges), she was there to correct the issue immediately.
Megan custom-tailored the perfect vacation specific to our needs and we couldn't be happier with our trip.

Megan, at Discover Africa, was truly attentive to creating a perfect, personalized itinerary.
Megan, at Discover Africa, planned the perfect trip for us and at a good value. The itinerary was personalized for where & when we wanted to go, what we wanted to see, and how long we wanted to stay. The lodges she recommended were fantastic! (Victoria & Alfred in Cape Town, Arathusa Safari Lodge in Sabi Sands, South Africa, Victoria Falls Lodge in Zimbabwe & Chobe Safari Lodge in Botswana) She arranged all the transfers between countries, lodges, and activities. The safari drives, sunset boat cruises, Victoria Falls tour, drum show, and private boat tours were amazing and everything ran smoothly. We saw so many animals and beautiful sites. It was truly a trip of a lifetime. Thank you Megan for answering our many questions, keeping us informed, not only throughout the planning process, but as we got closer to the trip & throughout our journey. Definitely use Discover Africa & especially Megan to plan the greatest adventure of your life!

Lana Goodwin was brilliant in listening to us and what we wanted out of our trip!
Lana Goodwin was brilliant in listening to us, offering and taking on suggestions, making amendments any time of the day. She was fab! Communication was smooth. Pick up/tranfers/drop off was painless and easy. No stress or worry. You just knew they’ll be there. Really reliable and to time
Accommodation was as described. She made sure to reserve one location so that we didn’t lose out which was nice. Threw in a full city tour as part of the package.
Both safari tours were exciting with brilliant guide and drivers. Fantastic experience.
My Mum and I enjoyed the care given at both accommodation. Nothing was too small for them as my mum was using a walking stick. They made sure she enjoyed every single trip lifting her even if it was needed. I can’t thank them enough.
The food was OMG fantastic and the rooms and views were superb!
Will definitely recommend her again and again. Thanks Lana

We had a seamless experiences full of personal touches and left with memories for a lifetime.
Our experience with Discover Africa was excellent from start to finish. Susan was our travel coordinator and we could not have asked for more - she was engaged from the beginning, took all of our personal interests in our bookings into account, and put together a wonderful itinerary for us. When there was a hiccup in the finalization of bookings due to a computer system issue (no fault of Discover Africa) it was no problem, as Susan had alternate bookings on hold that we were able to secure - bookings that ended up being our favorites on the whole trip! We explored Cape Town, Botswana, and Namibia, and had absolutely wonderful experiences along the way. Throughout multiple flights, bush flights, and car rentals we had zero issues and everything went off without a hitch, and Susan checked it along the way to make sure everything was going smoothly and we were enjoying our travels. As we were on our honeymoon, we were treated to some pre-arranged unexpected surprises during our bookings along the way that made the experience even more memorable. I would absolutely recommend Discover Africa to anybody and will certainly be using them again in the future.

Another perfect adventure with Discover Africa
This was my second visit to Kruger National Park, and once again, Discover Africa organized an exceptional experience. I stayed at three different private game reserves, each offering a unique charm. The seamless transfers between parks were stress-free, allowing me to fully enjoy the journey. From the warm greetings by staff upon arrival to the luxurious accommodations, delectable food, and top-notch amenities, everything exceeded my expectations. However, the highlight was undoubtedly the game drives, where I witnessed breathtaking wildlife in their natural habitat. I truly felt pampered and cared for throughout my stay. I didn’t want for anything during this remarkable adventure.

Matthys van Aswegen has arranged three fabulous trips for me!!
I have just returned from my third visit to my favorite safari camps in Botswana. Each time I have taken a different friend with me. I always tell them that Matthys van Aswegen is a master at organizing my trips, but it's not until they actually go with me that they realize I am not exaggerating! Every detail is addressed and any special requests I may have are always achieved. The very best part of this trip was that I actually got to meet Matthys and his dear wife, Leri, while I was in Cape Town. I was so happy to finally have the chance to personally thank him for all he has done to provide me with the beauty and magic of Africa. I already have another trip planned for April, 2025, and perhaps even another in 2026. Thank you Discover Africa and Matthys!

Seamless! Amazing experience
We went on safari to Sabi Sands in September 2024 and had an amazing time. Saw an abundance of animals, and the big 5 multiple times. The service throughout the entire stay was top notch! Susan made everything seamless and we did not have to think about a thing!! Can’t wait to go back

Megan helped us plan the trip of a lifetime!!!
For our honeymoon, my wife and I decided we wanted to plan the dream African safari trip we'd always hoped to take at some point in our lives. Discover Africa Safaris (and, specifically, Megan!) absolutely exceeded our expectations in every regard, and we are SO grateful to have found them when we were doing our research to plan our trip.
When planning our trip, my wife and I weren't quite sure where we wanted to go, what time of year, and specifically what experiences we wanted to prioritize while we were on our trip. Megan was incredibly knowledgeable -- she listened to our ideas and the things that were (and weren't!) important to us, and compiled everything together into an awesome itinerary. She was friendly, knowledgeable, quick to respond via email, offered great ideas for how to revise our itinerary to meet any follow-up needs/requests, and overall did a fantastic job.
Having returned from our trip, I can confidently say that the trip lived up to even our highest expectations.
All of our guides/outfitters were extremely knowledgable and were great with the logistics/planning to help make sure we were always where we needed to be (and enjoying ourselves) every part of our trip. We had the spectacular wildlife sightings and encounters we'd always dreamed of. And, we felt safe, and well taken care of the entire time. At several times during our trip, we found ourselves saying "...this trip is incredible...Megan crushed it!"
We highly recommend Discover Africa Safaris, and had a fantastic experience working with Megan to make the trip happen. Thank you!!
