Affordable Sabi Sands All Inclusive Safari

This is the second safari holiday we have used Dev to organise. We had the privilege of visiting three beautiful lodges on this trip, Devs recommendations in three different locations, Sabi Sands, Timbavati, and Makalali, which entailed a lot of organising with pick up and drop by road, each of which was flawless almost to the minute.

First stop was Sabi Sands where we saw the big five within 30 minutes, Unbelievable!

Next stop was Timbavati known for the possibility of seeing the rare white lion, second day out we saw the white lion cub (one of three in the world so we were told ) a gorgeous dirty little white cub with the pride, once again magic. Next stop was Makalali, Dev had mentioned the possibility of seeing cheetahs, after a lot experienced tracking and off road driving we came across two magnificent males basking in the sun, unbelievable.

On our last day when due to leave, a Saturday, my wife fell ill and could not travel, one phone call to Dev, he had transfers rearranged, flights cancelled and rebooked, which took all the stress out of a stressful situation.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dev and Discover Africa.

We had the most memorable safari trip with Discover Africa Safaris. Susan put together the perfect itinerary for our first family safari. Her choices were excellent. We loved both safari lodges, and our accommodation in Cape Town was wonderful. Her recommendation for car rental in Cape Town was great, as we were able to drive to Hout Bay, Boulders Beach, and Cape Point easily. I would thoroughly recommend Susan to put together the perfect vacation!

So impressed with Discover Africa Safaris and especially Susan! Being a first time traveler to Africa I had so many questions. She took the time to listen to what we wanted to experience and gave us many options to choose from. After we chose what tour we wanted ,she set everything up.

Unfortunately, I had to postpone my trip for a year because of an emergency, and she was so very helpful when we needed to reschedule. Her communication was prompt and clear and she was so kind as to check up on me several times. She re-booked our trip and checked in with us several times before we left to make sure everything was clear. She was also extremely available to answer any last-minute questions.

She was absolutely correct in her advice. Everything from flights to transfers to the amazing tour she booked for us was all that we could have dreamed of and more. We recommend Discover Africa Safaris and Susan highly and appreciate her tireless work,advice and kindness.

From the very beginning, it was so easy and convenient to get in touch with Discover Africa, and specifically Antoinette Van Heerden.

Antoinette was extremely responsive and amenable to all our emails and requests for accommodations, diets, and preferences for our 10 day honeymoon in Cape Town, Kruger National Park, and Livingstone/Victoria Falls.

The accommodations that Discover Africa partners with and where we stayed were simply out of this world. As an example, our Cape Town hotel sat at the foot of Table Mountain with a dramatic view! The food was also stellar. All our transfers from airports to hotel and internal flights were completely seamless and set up completely by Discover Africa. All of this was at a very reasonable price. Discover Africa / Antoinette even provided us a helpful mini-booklet that provided us with suggestions on dealing with the weather, clothes, bugs, tipping, covid guidelines, etc. My wife and I felt so prepared for our full trip including safari and other tours.

We had a magical honeymoon that we will never forget, thanks to the dedication of Discover Africa and Antoinette.

I’m not quite sure where to begin when describing my trip to South Africa. It started with impeccable service with our guide/operator Antoinette. She made the process easy and understood that our trip was truly in her hands (we’ve never had a safari holiday).

To begin, everywhere we stayed was impeccably clean, safe, but also just truly enjoyable and fun. The animals we saw we’re incredible. Our guides were not only knowledgeable, but extremely kind. I can’t emphasize the service and generosity we felt at every spot. It was exactly what we dreamed of. Animals at every turn. Delicious food and drink.

An experience of a lifetime that I can’t wait to repeat. This was worth every penny and more.

My mom and I travelled to SA in March 2019. Matthys suggested the ideal lodgings for us in Pretoria (131 Herbert Baker) and safari option (Sabi Sabi Little Bush Camp).

We could not have been more pleased. The food and hospitality at all locations was above and beyond our expectations. All transfers were reliable and on time. The value for money was excellent. I will book through Matthys and Discover Africa again when we return.
