Photographic Tour of Botswana

Megan Warrington was amazing to work with. She was very informative and kept us up to date on everything. I found out that I would need to have surgery a few days after returning from the trip and asked Megan if she would be able to arrange for a wheelchair to be at the airports and activities we had planned. She got everything scheduled and sent me confirmations within a short period of time…That is what you call service!!!!!

We had a wonderful experience with Discover Africa from the planning stage all the way through to the end of the trip. I communicated what my family was looking for with a visit to Africa and Vihann helped construct a trip that provided the quality and experience to match our wishes. Using a travel agent, communication is of the upmost importance and Vihann was readily available during all parts of planning via email and even during the trip via WhatsApp.

If you choose to visit multiple countries in Africa and remote locations within those countries, transportation and logistics can be very challenging, and we were consistently at ease during our travel knowing that we’d always be in the correct place at the correct time because of Discover Africa. There were no hiccups or concerns going between locations and that alone made using Discover Africa worth it. In addition to logistics, Vihann chose incredible accommodations at each location in Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.

The camps in Botswana (African Bush Camps Kwai Lediba & Atzaro Okavango) and Zimbabwe (Old Drift Lodge) were luxurious and intimate and the staff at the camps made our stays far exceed expectations. On top of the camp hosts and staff being personable and accommodating, the safari guides were extremely knowledgeable and made it possible for us to see every kind of wildlife we wished to that was native to the areas (including lions, elephants, leopards, hyenas, hippos, and wild dogs).

While the price for the overall trip can change quite a bit based on the accommodations you choose, I strongly recommend paying the additional dollars for the comfort and service that you receive at the higher-end camps. Overall we had an amazing trip due to the planning and service provided by Discover Africa and Vihann. I would absolutely use them again in the future knowing that we would be taken care of and set up for success.

We set up a trip to visit Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park and Victoria Falls. That was a lot to squeeze into two weeks, but we wouldn’t have dropped anything off, just stayed a little longer so we would have had a minimum of 2 nights at every stop. The highlights were wine tasting in Stellenbosch, touring Cape Town, our fabulous stay off the grid in the Okavango Delta, game drives in Chobe, and seeing Victoria Falls.

We had a group of 16 so no small task to get an itinerary that suited all, but Susan was very patient as we had to shift dates due to school schedules. We had 7 children in our group and everyone along the way was very accommodating. Our group was very compatible, however, so all in all we enjoyed the camaraderie.

No big issues along the way – just some minor problems. Some of us got sick for a day but it passed quickly and we only had to drop off a game drive or two. The food was wonderful and every place we stayed at set up one big table where we could dine together. Susan kept in close contact along the way and fixed a few things for us. The trip was great value for the money! Can’t wait to go back!!

We booked the trip 3 years ago and finally, we made it.

Thank you very much Alice and Judy, who organized our trip, everything is so smooth, regarding hotel, visa, PCR test, transportation across the country…we are very happy, it’s the best Safari we did.

For over 2 years my wife and I worked with Megan at Discover Africa to assemble our dream safari itinerary. After some back and forth in 2019 we quickly realized that our dream trip was out of our budget so we held off for a year to make sure we could afford to take the exact trip we wanted. Megan was patient, checking in periodically, and was immediately responsive when we reinitiated the discussion in 2020. She provided recommendations to us from her personal experience and answered any and all questions we had. Once booked, payment was simple with an initial deposit and scheduled date for when payment would be due.

Then COVID hit. Throughout 2020 Megan continually checked in and provided the most updated information she could for the various countries we’d be visiting. Eventually, we found out that due to COVID restrictions our October 2020 trip would have to be rescheduled. Within what felt like an instant, Megan already had the trip we originally designed rebooked and confirmed for 2021. Throughout 2021 we kept in touch and as the trip drew near Megan took charge on identify testing requirements and coordinating the arrangement of tests for us.

During the actual trip, everything was seamless as Megan had arranged. The places she found for us were absolutely perfect for what we wanted. We felt completely prepared for what to expect, what to bring with us, local customs, etc. She provided her personal contact information in the event that we encountered an issue, which we did not. We’ve never been so sad for a trip to end! My wife and I both agreed that this trip felt more like a vacation than any other trip we’ve taken, and we owe it all to Megan and the Discover Africa team for their arrangements and assistance in booking and coordinating our dream safari.

We loved working with Discover Africa for our trip. Matthys was excellent to work with and gave us great advice on how to maximize our time in Africa. We went to South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe.

Everything was so well organized and we did not have to worry about a thing while we were gone. It was truly an unforgettable experience and we’ve had so much fun telling our friends and family about our African adventure. I highly recommend Discover Africa and can’t wait to go to Africa again!
