Safari Reviews & Testimonials

I first contacted Susan last September when I first thought we were going to take our dream trip to Africa. She got back to me quickly and showed me an itinerary I didn’t think was possible with our budget. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to do that trip due to flight issues, so when we were able to reschedule for June, I immediately contacted her. Once again, she worked her magic and gave us a trip we thought we could’ve only dreamed about. I would recommend Susan to anyone. The trip she sent us on made us fall in love with Africa, so much that we want to get married there. When we do, I will definitely send my friends and family to her if they want to extend their trips and see more of Africa. If you don’t book with Susan, you are missing out! Thank you, Susan, for the trip of a lifetime.

This was our favorite trip ever!! It was nice to have a schedule of pick-up and drop-off times for the whole trip. This made the trip go so smoothly and made it stress-free. All of the hotels/resorts were 5-star!!

Working with Discover Africa on our safari trip to South Africa was absolutely wonderful. We had to worry about next to nothing because they provided so much support and assistance. It was a true experience of a lifetime, and we so appreciate all of the time and effort they put into making every detail perfect.

Our experience was magnificent, it exceeded our expectations, and they fulfilled all our wishes. The service was unbeatable. Many thanks to Discover Africa for making one of our dreams come true. With no doubt, you will be hearing from us again for our next trip to Africa.

We booked our honeymoon safari trip with Discover Africa after we had gone through intensive research to find the perfect Botswana Trip. We couldn’t find a solution that covers all our bases ourselves. Susan from Discover Africa took on our request and was able to find the perfect trip at Chobe National Park and Okavango Delta. She communicated very frequently with us and understood exactly what we were looking for. She was able to form a trip plan for us very quickly, and with a few small tweaks, we were able to agree on the trip details and booked immediately.

The safari trip was managed very well. All necessary documents were provided with the app that had the trip itinerary available for offline viewing. Once we arrived in Botswana, all aspects of transport, game drives, food and accommodation were handled by the lodges and we barely had to lift a finger. We stayed at Elephant Valley Lodge in Chobe and Kadizora in Okavango Delta. Both lodges were amazing and the food was great. The game drives were stunning and well-spaced to allow us to rest and relax in between. We never felt rushed throughout the trip.

Overall, Discover Africa Safaris was great to work with and they organized a fantastic honeymoon safari trip for us. Will definitely be using them again for future safaris!

From all 4 of us I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Discover Africa and Megan for putting this trip together for us – it was truly the holiday of a lifetime! Jarat Tours and our guide for the first few days, Rico, was amazing – so informative and organised, we felt very looked after. Nothing but compliments for the staff at the Hoyo Hoyo lodge, it was truly a slice of paradise. We saw many wonderful animals and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Once again, thank you for putting such a wonderful trip together for us and for checking in on us consistently, it was much appreciated.

The communication and service provided by this company was excellent. The tour was well planned and recommendations ensured we had stress-free travel. Any problems we encountered were met with a quick response and remedied without question. All connections were perfect.

I booked part of my honeymoon trip through Discover Africa with a lady named Susan who was so awesome! First, I’ll say as an American tourist who usually relies on tour advisor reviews I was a bit skeptical at first as I couldn’t find reviews for their service on that platform but Susan put my mind at ease via live phone calls, constant texting/emailing and keeping me informed each step of the way. We booked a safari in Kruger National and stayed at the Jock lodge along with a transfer flight to Zimbabwe. Each step of the trip went off without a hitch! Jock lodge has a massive allotment of land within the park and all of the folks that work there were nothing short of amazing! We spotted the big five within our first 30mins of entering the park! Food was great, alcohol selection was decent however my only issue with the accommodation were the racist pictures hanging in their upstairs lounge. There is no scenario where I pay multiple thousands of dollars and want to see slave like images on a wall as my ancestors were said slaves years ago. Pictures of animals and landscapes would probably work better, as that’s what we came to see.

Vihann helped me a lot with the planning of my first African trip. We had a Zoom call and told him my preference and my budget. He is efficient and gave me two proposals within 1 day. After confirmation, he would also answer any questions. If there is any problem or alteration during the tour, he also helped me with that. I will use them again when I planned for my next African trip

From the very first conversation with Susan from Discover Africa I knew we were in great hands. The communication between Susan and myself was great considering I live on the other side of the world (Melbourne, Australia) and Susan was always quick to reply to any queries. The information provided by Discover Africa was second to none. This was a special trip for my mum’s 70th birthday and we were travelling as a large family group (8 adults, 12yo, 9yo) and Susan allayed any fears of travelling to South Africa.

The safari that Susan suggested for us was perfect. We stayed at Beck’s Safari Lodge in the Karongwe Reserve and this was absolutely amazing. 5 nights, 4 full days of game spotting, relaxing, and eating. This was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime experience for my family. Susan also helped us with the 2nd part of the holiday in Cape Town. She booked all of our transfers and tours for the week and this was fabulous. We didn’t have to worry about anything as it was perfectly planned.

I was in contact with Susan while in South Africa as we had some adverse weather and Susan was quick to rearrange some of the touring to different days so we could get the best out of our stay. I cannot thank Susan enough for her efforts in making this holiday of a lifetime so so easy to book. As I said, right off the bat the communication was amazing and we had a great experience booking with Discover Africa.

Highly recommend Discover Africa and Susan for all of your needs in Africa.

The experience overall was great and the support received by the tour operator and my dedicated customer service contact was far beyond my expectation. Being my first safari, I had a lot of questions that were always answered timely and their suggestions enhanced my whole experience and made this trip really special.

They were also really flexible, shed some light and went the extra mile when we had to do last-minute changes because of some visa issues. I have already recommended Discover Africa to some of my friends and I am looking forward to planning my next trip with them.
Special mention to Diane Du Plessis who was my dedicated contact!!

Over 10 days and 4 lodges we had amazing sightings of heaps of animals and were looked after by fabulous guides and staff. Megan made our trip super easy from the beginning to the end. I would definitely get Megan to help me help my next trip to Africa.
