Sam has been very professional, kept every promise and met all my expectations.

I had an idea about what I wanted to do and see. Discover Africa met my ideas with different suggestions and refined my trip until it was exactly what I was looking for.

Susan was extremely responsive and helpful when a few issues arose

I traveled to a private game reserve, Victoria Falls, and then Cape Town. The itinerary and arrangements put together by my agent were perfect. The accommodations and experience at Sabi Sand reserve were incredible and well exceeded my expectations and worth every penny. My accommodations in Zimbabwe ( Vic Falls and Chobe Nat’l Park) were very nice. Food at the Shongwe Oasis was lacking, but the service and ambiance were good. The prearranged tours of the Falls and Chobe were excellent. My experience in Cape Town was mixed. The city tour was weak, but the trip to the Cape of Good Hope was spectacular. Table Mountain cable car was not doable due to weather. My initial accommodation was unsatisfactory, and my agent worked quickly with the management to move me to another property. Staying close to the water (Beach Rd) is ideal as the restaurants in walking distance are plentiful. Food is extremely good everywhere and inexpensive.

The tour operator delivered flawless service, creating unforgettable honeymoon memories.

What an incredible experience Discover Africa Safaris provided during our recent honeymoon adventure. From the moment we began planning with your team to the final moments of our journey, every aspect exceeded our expectations. First and foremost, the level of professionalism and expertise demonstrated by your staff was exceptional. From helping us craft the perfect itinerary to ensuring every detail was meticulously arranged, we felt confident and well-supported throughout the entire process. The accommodations selected for us were nothing short of extraordinary. Each lodge and camp exceeded our expectations, offering luxurious comfort combined with breathtaking views of the African landscape. It truly felt like a dream come true to wake up to such beauty every morning. Of course, the heart of our experience lay in the safari adventures themselves. Words cannot adequately express the awe and wonder we experienced as we ventured out into the wilderness, guided by your knowledgeable and passionate team of guides. From witnessing the majesty of elephants roaming freely to the thrill of spotting elusive big cats, every moment felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Moreover, the attention to detail in every aspect of our journey did not go unnoticed. From the delicious meals served under the African sky to the warm hospitality extended to us by every staff member we encountered, we felt truly cared for and valued as guests. Overall, our honeymoon with Discover Africa Safaris surpassed all expectations and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you for creating memories that we will cherish for a lifetime and for allowing us to experience the magic of Africa in such a profound and meaningful way. Thanks to Discover Africa Safaris and to Antoinette Booyse.

Excellent personalized service

Susan was very helpful in planning every aspect of our honeymoon safari, the communication was excellent and reliable. The tour itself was fabulous! Susan picked a number of options for us based on our requirements, and everything was absolutely wonderful!

Very well organized

Dividing the time between Kruger National Park and Sabi Sands was a great choice. Everything (fly-in; hotels; transportation...) was very well organized from the side of Discover Africa and everything went smoothly.

A Seamless Experience

We booked a safari trip with Discover Africa after doing research online. The travel agency offered the best starting and customizable itinerary for our needs, at a cost lower than other recommended tour companies we contacted. We did a Zoom call with Vihann Van Wyk to review our goals, budget, and preferences, and with a few minor tweaks, we built our itinerary. We were a bit apprehensive as we couldn’t find reviews on Tripadvisor, which is my go-to source, but all contacts with the company allayed our concerns. We returned last week from our adventure. Everything went smoothly and we could not have hoped for a better experience. The trip was absolutely wonderful. The itinerary was perfect as were all of the accommodations. We hoped the game drives would be fantastic and they didn’t disappoint. We didn’t have any expectations for the other activities, which proved to be equally as memorable. The time of year might have helped, as there were not a lot of crowds in typically popular locations. Despite it being the “rainy season” we only had 3 half days of rain during the 2-week trip, so don’t let the time of year stop you.

Adelle was responsive, informative, and persistent!

We started speaking with a number of operators. Many only wanted to push cookie-cutter packages or would state that what we wanted to do couldn't be possible. However, Adelle stayed with us through our trip's many (many) iterations and ultimately was responsive, helpful, quick, and knowledgeable. She worked within our budget (something others seemed to ignore), provided accurate and complete quotes, and took the time to understand the type of accommodations and experiences we were seeking. I was impressed with her ability to pivot, provide great input, and remain friendly and helpful even when I was sure she must be ready to throw up her hands ;). She was a wonderful resource of information, and I have even referred someone else to her already (and we are en route home now). Thanks for such a great trip Adelle!

Amazing Trip

What an amazing safari, SCUBA, and Cape Town experience. Matthys booked us in the most beautiful places and every attention to detail regarding travel between destinations. The lodge in Sabi Sands was spectacular, as was the beach resort in Mozambique. However, the SCUBA operation there was not up to PADI standards.

Responsive, wonderful, and accommodating!

Samantha was so amazing to work with. She did such a great job customizing my itinerary, constantly offering me new options, and always being extremely responsive. I absolutely plan on working with her again and am very appreciative of all her help! I had a great trip, thanks to her.

She was amazing in helping us get a booking that met all our needs!

Everything was amazing from day 1. Diane got in touch with us via WhatsApp and was extremely prompt in answering any questions we had. She was knowledgeable about the camps and areas, and I would recommend her 10/10 to my friends and family.   [global_dynamic_group section_type="gallery collage" id="gallery 1"]

Discover Africa creates tailored itineraries for the trip of a lifetime.

Discover Africa completely tailored our itinerary to our desires and needs for our South Africa trip. We traveled with two teenagers over the Christmas holiday and wanted to pack in a LOT without completely overwhelming everyone. We added in the extra challenge of planning our trip rather late in the year. Having staff on the ground in the country and close relationships with hotels and tour providers made a huge difference for us and allowed us to do everything we hoped. We spent nine days in South Africa, equally split between Sabi Sabi game preserve, Cape Town and Hermanus. Discover Africa helped us get a taste of the country's vast natural and cultural diversity. The lodge accommodations, dining, and game guides' quality exceeded our expectations. Our Cape Town hotel was perfectly located to take advantage of all the festive activities and restaurants, and Discover Africa helped us to make reservations during this very busy time. The Hermanus portion of our trip provided stunning views and relaxation. Every component of our trip was well-timed and planned, down to the transport between locations. We felt secure that we could reach out to Discover Africa anytime with changes or concerns. It was a trip our kids will remember for a lifetime!

Excellent Kenya/Masai Mara Vacation

Discover Africa Safaris was instrumental in planning the Nairobi/Masai Mara portion of my 50th birthday celebration. I struggle to find words to describe my recent travels. The suggested itinerary was perfect, even after my sister and I were delayed because we completely forgot to secure the required visa for entry into Kenya. The trip cost was reasonably fair and totally worth the money. The entire trip details provided by Discover Africa Safaris from the beginning through our few adjustments were thorough and very clear. I had the time of my life visiting Nairobi, Kenya. All arranged drivers were great, the citizens were warm and inviting, and the accommodations and delicious foods served our needs well. In Masai Mara, we have numerous stories that will bring us laughter for many years to come. The safari tour driver, Dennis, was the real star of the trip. He ensured that we saw as many animals as possible, including the big five (rhinoceros, lion, elephant, leopard, and Cape buffalo) within the first two drives. I am grateful for Susan's excellent service. Thank you! Please enjoy a few photos from our excursions. [global_dynamic_group section_type="gallery collage" id="gallery 1"]
