Botswana Ranger Experience Safari

My husband and I started planning our Safari in Sept to go in May. Vihann at Discover Africa was wonderful!! He setup a video call on our timeline to ask what we wanted and actually listened. He came up with a plan that we agreed to and the rest was easy. All of our accommodations were exactly as promised, flights and transfers all went off without a hitch, so we had nothing to worry about the whole time just a wonderful experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Can not think of one negative comment to add.

Discover Africa and their trip advisor Megan Warrington did a fantastic job arranging our trip to Cape Town, Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe), and the Chobe River and Kwara Camp in Botswana. We originally planned this trip a few years ago, but had to cancel. Megan was able to resurrect our itinerary with a few improvements this year. The trip details they provided were very accurate and helped us in our planning (and packing). All the transfers/transportation went without a hitch. Greeters met us at each location and guided us to the appropriate next step.

All the accommodations they booked us in were top notch; better than we anticipated. In particular, they had booked us into a camp in the Okavanga delta run by the Kwando Safari company. When they Kwando company ended up closing the camp for renovations Megan made sure that Kwando upgraded our camp and we ended up at the amazing Kwara camp, their flagship location, with no additonal cost or bother for us. (That camp was amazing great wildlife, staff, food and “tents”.)

I would recommend Discover Africa and Megan to anyone planning a trip to the Southern Africa area for a safari or city visit.

Fellow travelers, I had not a worry ! as the itinerary went so went our adventure! From the Drivers to the Hotel staff to the small aircraft pilots! Wonderful! Always there to make our travels smooth and refreshing ! I drink lots of water and really appreciated that they all had bottled water for me! Then we have the Lodges and the staff, who could not have made us feel more welcome and accommodated!

The food was delicious and the icing on the cake were our guides of course Jinxy at Saguni lodge and Cosi at Kazidore lodge! I should not forget to say that both lodges were as pictured, and accommodations did not disappoint! Discover Africa really took care of us ! Susan called us several times throughout our trip to check on us, and make sure we were well cared for and satisfied with our stay.

It has been a great experience to have Discover Africa to organise our luxury safari to Botswana.

We have experienced great attention by Matthys van Aswegen from the first contact onwards. At the last minute one of our party of four had to arrive on a later flight in Maun, but Matthys fixed the schedule, and the person flew to the lodge on small plane. The party even managed to get together for the first game drive at Leroo La Tau. We stayed in three lodges, all were great, all of the staff amazing (they nursed their guests), and we enjoyed watching the animals and birds (more than 100 species).

Everything was as promised and if anything better than expected. Highly recommended!

The communications were perfect , the guides in safari lodges are very knowledgeable in wild life and nature, they were incredible. the safari itself was unbelievable, we could see the big five except Rynos, we saw leopards hunting impalas and bringing it up to the tree and feeding their cubs, Lions, elephants girafes, hippos, wild dogs all the wild life in Okavango delta.

The landscape, the colors, the smell… we flew over in a small plane with 6 seats, and during 45 min we didn’t see any population, nothing than nature.

The lodges are very integrated in the nature and the service is very intimistic, everybody seats at one table to have breakfast, lunch and dinner. The only thing to point out is that the lodges should be renovated as they look slightly worned out.

My trip last August to Botswana was arranged by Discover Africa and I couldn’t have chosen better. Everything was well organized and I didn’t have to worry about anything.

The safari tour was far beyong expectations; the accommodation was superb, the guides were fantastic, the sightseeing and the animals were out of this world.

I can’t wait to go back, hopefully the next time I will travel with my family so they can also experience a rich adventure of unlimited emotions and definitely it will be arranged by Discover Africa. A million thanks to Discover Africa for making my dreams come true.
