I am glad to say all of us are very happy and satisfied with trip arrangements.
I am giving below my feedback about all aspect of the trip from 24th May to 5th June, 2016.
a) Accommodation at Johannesburg, Victoria Falls, Skukuza Rest Camp, Kruger National Park and Cape Town was well located with comfortable rooms as per our requirements.
b) Transfers and Tours at all places was on time and we did have not much of a problem.
c) Flights booked for various places were on time and we were able to maintain our schedule.
d) Two Dinner arrangements at Johannesburg and Cape Town was satisfactory.
I have only following comments which if amended will help other travelers:-
1) Guide at Victoria Falls was not very helpful. We had to spend some funds to cross the Bridge by walk. I am not sure why this was not included.
2) Kruger National Park - Safari timing during Morning and evening appears to be on fixed irrespective of seasonal variation. This resulted lots of time in movement in darkness which was a waste. This can be easily rectified if Kruger National Park changes Safari timings as per Sun rise and Sun set.
3) Wine Tour at Cape Town should have been included. You ultimately accommodated us at an extra cost.
I once again like to convey my sincere gratitude and thanks to you and Discover Africa for arranging this wonderful trip for eight Senior Citizens from India and UK having ages 70+.
I shall definitely recommend Discover Africa and particularly you whenever any of my family and friends plans trip to South Africa and nearby countries.

Professional, well organised excellent knowledge of destination .
Although our safari was very expensive for us as South Africans we were satisfied that we got a value for money experience. It was a once in a lifetime safari. Knowledgeable, professional guides - experience far beyond our expectations. They were prepared to go the extra mile to satisfy our needs. The accommodation very well situated/ chosen to give us an optimum wildlife experience.

Dream Work Through Team Work
History was made in supporting Chaeli Mycroft to become the 1st quadraplegic female to summit Kilimanjaro. What amazing partners Discover Africa are! Great communications from home team ensured that getting to Tanzania happened without a hitch. The arduous Kili Climb itself took many months of planning, logistical preparation - and Carel Verhoef was a brilliant Team Leader. The website created to document this epic adventure invited the world to share this historical experience in real time. Thank you, Discover Africa - you guys ROCK! Thank you for making this amazing adventure a reality and for ensuring that Team Awesome - including Chaeli - realised their Dream of reaching Uhuru Point. And a special word of thanks in bringing all of them safely home again!

Trip of a lifetime to Serengeti and Masai Mara
Our service from Carel at Discover Africa was outstanding. His recommendations on the timing of our trip, the lodges we should book, communication and overall assistance ensured that our trip went off very smoothly and that we were in the right place at the right time.
Discover Africa would certainly earn 5 stars from us, if their back office support in Cape Town was as good as Carel's service when we needed their assistance in Kenya.
I would happily recommend Carel Verhoef and his excellent service anytime. Thank you for a fantastic trip.

Discover Africa organized a perfect Botswana safari for us
It took one e-mail to Discover Africa (very friendly and competent staff), one phone call for details and one phone call for minor modifications and in the end we had a perfect holiday experience - a magical Botswana safari as they titled it.
The self-driving tour (4x4 camper) included Kalahari, the pans, Okavango, Victoria falls, Tuli block. In detail we have been at some fantastic spots we would have missed without their recommendations. The pre-organized accommodation (on campgrounds in our camper, in tented camps, in hotels and in luxury safari lodges) turned out as a mixture tailored to us.
Summary: Discover Africa organized a perfect trip for us.

our agent was very efficient and replied to our emails without any waiting and worrying.
We went on Safari to Phinda Game reserve which was our choice as was the the choice of 2 nights on the Rovos train.Our agent was quite happy with helping us with anything we requested. We worked out dates of where we wanted to be and when and for how long and Meagan was very helpful in getting the whole trip to work in. She worked especially well with us as we chose to make some bookings ourselves and she fell in with we wanted to do. We would not hesitate in recommending Discover Africa to friends who are looking to spend time in your part of the world.

Kilimanjaro Private Climb
We had a wonderful experience with the Discover Africa team on our trip to Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar. Due to unforeseen circumstances we needed to head down early and their team were most helpful in arranging exciting new options for us while we waited to travel to the rest of our holiday destinations. Overall a sensational trip and all round excellent service.

Dream safari honeymoon!
From the first interaction with Megan and the Discover Africa team I knew I could trust them with my honeymoon plans. Communication was fantastic with all my requests and changes quickly addressed. They also provided great advice on accomadation and things to do. The trip itself was once in a life time and something my wife and I will never forget. Everything was perfectly organized allowing me to relax and enjoy our special time together. I would definitely recommend discovering Africa with Discover Africa!

A trip that was easy to organise and hard to forget.
We visited Madikwe and Madagascar for our honeymoon in 2014. It was a dream trip that was made possible by Discover Africa. The best part of their service was the ease with which it was handled. Their website is very clear and full of options and the consultants are prompt in their response. I usually book various parts of my holidays through separate operators because I feel I can mix n match as I please but booking the entire trip through Discover Africa left me feeling like I was in good hands and making the right choices. Madikwe and Madagascar were both fantastic destinations that I can recommend. We saw big 5 on our first day!
