Mauricia Beachcomber Resort & Spa

After a 10-day trip to South Africa with my wife, I’m still raving about the experience Discover Africa put together for us. We worked with Matthys Van Aswegen, who was fantastic from start to finish. He listened to what we wanted, rolled with a few changes of heart on our part without any hassle, and built an itinerary that ended up being exactly right for us. Every guide and driver we had was excellent and always punctual, and the places we stayed – both in Cape Town and on safari – were stunning. Nothing about the trip felt disjointed or stressful; it all just flowed. Honestly one of the best trips we’ve ever taken.

We had a fabulous experience from start to finish working with Bianca and Discover Africa. Bianca is an excellent travel planner and quickly and efficiently assisted us whenever we needed her help. This was the first private tour my husband went on, and Bianca was incredibly helpful in shaping our itinerary to be exactly what we wanted. We had no problems throughout our entire safari, and we always felt completely safe. We did a gorilla, chimpanzee, and monkey trekking in Rwanda and we highly recommend using Bianca to make this a trip of a lifetime. Bianca’s professionalism, expertise, people skills, and personality make her an agent anyone would want to work with for a special vacation! We will definitely use her services again when we travel another time.

My best friend and I just recently returned from an excursion in South Africa. There are simply not enough adjectives to describe this experience. Starting with the initial “interview” with Matthys Van Aswegen…. Matt was so thorough, so personable and extremely knowledgeable. I was able to comfortably explain to him exactly what we wanted without feeling “snobby”. He put together a package that was amazing. Everything we wanted and more. I basically said we wanted to be treated like queens and we were! The accommodations he arranged in Cape Town, Simbambili and Rattary Lodge were unbelievable. Our main focus was to see as many exotic animals as possible. We saw absolutely every animal except the cheetah (extremely rare). Every. Single. One. We were treated to the rare sight of wild dogs, and a hippo OUT of the water as well.

Booked almost a year in advance, Matt was vigilant in his correspondence. He sent numerous suggestions for preparing for the trip which were extremely helpful and informative. He answered all of my emails and questions within 24 hours. Just before we left he also gave me his personal phone number in case we ran into any difficulties ( we didn’t). I can’t say enough about how incredible he was and firmly believe he was the reason our trip was so spectacular. After seeing my photos and videos, several friends are now interested in a Safari and I have strongly recommended him.

If anyone is interested in a Safari, Discover Africa would be the first place to start. Bar none.

It was an amazing experience. We were worried about lodging and game drives but it turned out that Bianca did an amazing job arranging everything for us. I would highly recommend Bianca and Discover Africa if you ever decide to do a Safari.

This was the most thrilling vacation I have ever taken. Justin at Discover Africa planned everything down to the finest detail so it was effortless, magical and perfect from start to finish. A trip of a lifetime and then some!

Justin Van Wyk from Discover Africa Safari did an outstanding job in planning our perfect Safari. All travel and transfers between airports and game lodges have been flawless! The lodges and safari experiences have been awesome.
