Safari Reviews & Testimonials

Discover Africa was my first time using a travel agent. I was a bit nervous hiring a company online whom I’d never heard of, and then sending thousands of dollars over to. All I could hope for was that there was someone waiting for us when we showed up at the airport.

I had a ton of confidence immediately though as Adelle (our agent) answered all of my questions, updated our itinerary with new changes, and gave great recommendations for activities – as well as incorporating our own itinerary for a private Sheldrick Trust viewing. She was super helpful leading up to our trip. Her true value really showed when we got there, though. She was easy to reach when we had questions and made adjustments in the moment for us.

I got sick 3 days in and had to stay in the hospital for a few days, causing us to miss an entire part of our itinerary and two flights. Adele jumped into action with her local rep and made sure that we were taken care of, that our flights were completely rebooked (and we paid no extra money), and even got us a refund from the accommodation we were supposed to stay in! It was absolutely amazing. The safari we were supposed to go to also got flooded so our accommodation got moved.

It was a perfectly seamless transition for us, even though I imagine it was quite a bit of chaos behind the scenes. We got upgraded to a nicer camp and had transportation ready and waiting at each and every step.

I would recommend Discover Africa to every single person considering a trip to Africa. We for sure wouldn’t have been able to do all ourselves!

My wife and I spent a while doing research and talked to several groups to find the perfect balance of price, location, and luxury we were looking for on our 3 night safari as part of a honeymoon trip to South Africa.

Megan Warrington and her team understood exactly what we were looking for and found the perfect option for us (Jock Safari Lodge) that we wouldn’t have uncovered otherwise.

Not only that, but Discover Africa was so easy to deal with, very responsive any time we had questions, and provided just the right amount of communication in the lead up to our trip.

Frankly, I didn’t expect to enjoy the safari experience as much as I did. But it was incredible and now I’m trying to figure out a way to do it again. I’ll certainly be contacting Megan and Discover Africa for their guidance next time as well.

The safari tour was exceptional. The properties, guides and service were top-notch. Our expectations were very high and this trip far exceeded them. Communication was very good. Everything expected happened, plus more. Matthys worked very hard to help with everything that we needed.

Everything was as expected. Our vacation was amazing from transfers to lodging to activities. We had one small hiccup with a transfer; I contacted Discover Africa via email and Alice was immediately digging into the problem and guaranteeing no more issues. Our 2 safari lodges were incredible. I would definitely use Discover Africa again!

Communicating with our Discover Africa agent was a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Tanya was quick to respond to questions that popped up along the way, and proactive in making sure our specific needs were taken care of. From recommendations around the safari location, to travel logistics – she had it all covered! It brought us a huge sense of relief as we had some minor anxiety about being first time travelers to South Africa.

Would highly recommend working with Discover Africa, based on our experience with Tanya Ellis.

Judy from Discover Africa organized a spectacular 9 day safari in Botswana for us. Everything was very well organized, the accommodations and service were outstanding. Judy promptly answered all of our questions, was patient with our ever-changing plans, and coordinated an unforgettable trip for us. Can highly recommend.

Our trip to South Africa was beyond a doubt our best holiday experience! Megan Warrington planned the itinerary thoughtfully to include variety of experiences. The tour guides and operators were very helpful, very knowledgeable and courteous.

Always prompt and on time. I would recommend Discover Africa to anyone planning a trip to SA without hesitation. Thank you!

Megan and Alice were extremely helpful in setting up our customized safari at the little bush camp in Sabi Sabi! We couldn’t be more pleased with their service and the safari and lodge were above and beyond our expectations! We saw a great variety of animals and even were able to have an encounter with lions on a walking safari!

My wife and I couldn’t be more happy with the overall experience and would recommend both Discover Africa and Little Bush Camp to anyone looking for a luxurious safari experience at a great price!

We, six seniors, took a 14 day sightseeing tour to Cape Tour and Johannesburg, safari trip to Kruger park and Chobe in Botswana as well as tour to Victoria Fall in Zimbabwe in Oct, 2019 organized by Discovery Africa.

Both, Megan Warrington and Alice Lombard, our travel consultants, planned a well though out detail itinerary covering all aspect of our tour with care and understanding our requirements. They were very professional in their response (both over the phone or via email) as well as were every willing and prompt in dealing with our concerns/requests.

The tour exceeded our expectation and had a wonderful experience both for sightseeing part as well as the Safari trip. The subcontractors for transportation, sight seeing tours as well as the safari expedition provided an excellent service and found to be very knowledgeable. The Safari experience was much beyond our expectation were able to see all five big games at a close distance.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will not hesitate to refer anyone to Discovery Africa as a tour planner and South Africa as a prefer destination for Safari experience.

good communication but cessna flight infos and buffet food style were not so detailed. Safari and staff very excellent

Don’t know where to start or stop. What a fantastic experience, have been all over most of southern Africa to the Equator, so thought I knew and saw it all. Exceeded our wildest expectations, was real out of Africa experience, flying on the 6 seater Cessna to Little Ruchomechi over the full length of Kariba by our very capable lady pilot.

Wow. And landing at the dirt airstrip, more wow. We had the whole camp to ourselves, with an absolutely dedicated, experienced and enthusiastic staff, Joshua our knowledgeable game ranger, chefs conjuring up the most unbelievable, original meals.

Quality of accommodation, food was beyond any criticism, in such an extreme remote location 10/10. The camp manageress, Precious was very precious and special as was Lucky and Simba our ‘bulters’.

All our connections, arrangements, transfers, communications, were faultless and very punctual. Not once did we have to stress or worry. Left our hearts in Mana. Can and will highly recommend Discover Africa.*****

We were six of together, and one was our contact person but we were all in the loop of each communication. I observed that Megan and Alice were excellent in prompt communication, and provided us all the necessary information. Our safari experience was beyond our expectations. Excellent job.
