Vic Falls, Chobe and Delta Luxury Fly in Safari

I had 2 months lead time to plan a Botswana safari so I googled tour companies. After emailing a few, I chose Discover Africa. Susan Veldman responded quickly and was able to figure out an 8 night safari, with stays in 3 different camps. Each one was amazing. The kindness of each and every staff member at all 3 was heartwarming. The bush flights between camps were so easy once we did our initial one. I was stressed about the suitcase and weight restrictions, but it was really a non-issue.

They don’t measure or weigh anything. I had purchased 30” roller duffles but then saw it was 24”, so changed to an over the shoulder bag. The 30” would have been fine. Each camp also provides mosquito repellent so no need to take. The food was absolutely delicious and so much: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, cocktail hour, and dinner. The trip was surreal. After a week, we felt like we were gone a month!

Amanda's Botswana Safari Adventure

We had the absolute best experience with Megan from Discover Africa during our two-week journey through Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. From the moment we began planning our trip, Megan demonstrated an extraordinary level of professionalism and dedication that transformed our vacation into a truly magical experience.

Megan’s expertise shone through in her meticulous scheduling and incredible responsiveness. No matter how big or small our requests or questions were, she was always readily available to help, ensuring every detail of our trip was perfectly tailored to our needs. The organisation was nothing short of pristine, with each aspect of the journey carefully curated to provide maximum enjoyment and comfort.

The lodges we stayed in were absolutely gorgeous, each offering a unique window into the breathtaking African landscape. We were consistently surrounded by an amazing community that made us feel welcome and connected to the heart of Africa. This wasn’t just a vacation – it was a profound, life-changing experience filled with moments of deep reflection, uncontrollable laughter, and genuine smiles.

Take this journey if you can; just beware, you may be tempted to turn Africa into your only travel destination.

I was a little nervous getting into booking our recent Africa trip, as we were looking at the more expensive end (at our stage of life, we’ve earned a little comfort!) and fairly large numbers were involved. Regular contact with the same person is something I value in transactions. Matthys van Aswegen proved to be an excellent contact, personable and patient with my many enquiries.

The booking and payment process is clear, but it was the suggestions and recommendations that I particularly valued. Having transfers prebooked also adds to peace of mind. I look forward to using Discover Africa again for our next safari (yes, the Africa bug has bitten!) and recommend them unreservedly.

Andrew's Victoria Falls Experience

The communication was excellent – we put in our questions each evening and had our answers the following morning. We went back & forth on what we wanted to do and what we could afford. Megan managed to squeeze in everything we wanted to do and even helped us find a cooking class in Johannesburg that she had attended. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip.

All the safaris (we went to 4 different safaris – 2 in both in Kruger and Chobe) were amazing. We managed to see the BIG five and much, much more.

The accommodations were fabulous and all the guides and staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We thought this trip to Africa would take it off our bucket list but while in Africa, we got hooked and want to go back – next time to Tanzania + Kenya + Morocco. It would be hard to pick our favorite spot, but our stay in Simon’s Town at Simon’s guest House had to top the list.

Thanks for helping us plan the trip of a lifetime. We look forward to planning another trip with you in the future.

I found the company first class. All my questions were answered quickly and sensibly. Megan, with whom I dealt throughout, was helpful and patient and responded to any questions or queries I had rapidly and efficiently. The price paid was competitive. All told everything happened as it should in an effortless fashion. Full marks.

Working with Megan from Discover Africa to setup our safari was a breeze. She manage to get us to all of the locations we wanted to get to and the camps we wanted to visit.

She was incredibly responsive and helped us with any questions or problems we had. (Don’t forget to find somewhere to store your hard-sided suitcases when you switch to duffel bags!).

All of the Sanctuary Lodges blew our expectations out of the water. Our tracker Sky at Chief’s Camp was amazing and we spent four hours one day tracking down a rhino until we finally managed to see it making our trip complete! The staff at all of the Sanctuary camps were incredibly and being able to go in either private or small groups (4 total people) game tracking made the experience infinitely better.

My only advice to fellow travelers would be to try to take a day trip to see Victoria Falls from the Chobe area instead of going to a camp in Zambia. We found the Botswana national parks to be an overall much better experience than those of Zambia.
