Megan Warrington was as personable as she was helpful and efficient.
My wife and I just returned from a three-week adventure in South Africa and Botswana that was custom designed by Megan Warrington of Discover Africa. We could not be more pleased. We arrived in Cape Town where we recovered from the long flight from Boston and leisurely saw the sights including going up Table Mountain, a wine tour, and a visit to the botanical gardens. Our hotel was the V&A and it was top notch, in a perfect location on the waterfront, and we were truly pampered. Next were multiple safaris at Jock Lodge in Kruger National Park. We saw the big five three times in four days (or four if you count seeing the same pride of lions in a different section of the park). The lodge was first class without any airs—our guide was top notch, the staff extremely friendly and can-do, and the meals were over the top. From Kruger it was on to a ten-day mobile tent safari with Letaka, visiting the Okavango Delta (Moremi National Park), Kwai Concession, the Savute Marsh, and finally the Chobe National Park. The tent safari was just that—simple with a bucket shower and pit toilet. But we lacked for nothing—comfortable bed in a stand-up tent, hot water whenever we desired, and the cook was a magician who never duplicated a meal. Our guide’s knowledge as well as his eyesight were mind boggling. One distinct advantage to a tent safari is that there is no fixed schedule. If we saw something interesting (like witnessing a buffalo kill in process) we could take our time. Our guide would radio the cook who would adjust accordingly—no rushing back. The entire trip’s itinerary was perfect in that each stay was like a stepping stone for the next. However, the trip almost never happened because of covid. After Megan designed the trip, covid was in full bloom and we dared not risk travel. She was totally understanding. She kept in touch occasionally over many months. When we finally decided to go for it and had a thousand questions, she would always answer our emails promptly. Between us there were over 70 emails and our relationship seemed to morph into more of a personal one rather than business. My wife and I give Discover Africa and Megan the highest recommendation possible.

Spectacular
I traveled to Kenya with my family using Beast Safari Tours company and the experience we passed was spectacular from the beginning to the end of the safari, the hotel Jambo also is very beautiful and nice.
The experience making the safari where you can see all the wild animal in front of you was unimaginable, we were at 50 meters from the animals and the most important was the safety of the persons.
We enjoyed, Thanks Kenya for the hospitality.

Like being on a film set
We had an incredible time on safari for 1 week visiting Amboseli, Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Our driver Ali was fantastic and ensured we saw everything possible in our time. We were so lucky to see the ‘Big 5’ plus many more. All of the accommodation and food was brilliant and staff always welcoming.
