Cape Town & Kruger Family Safari

Going to south and central Africa was a bucket list item for me and booking a big and expensive trip always feels a bit risky and you hope you have made the right choice.

Booking with Discover Africa was fantastic from beginning to end! Our trip coordinator, Susan Veldman, was very responsive whenever we had questions or concerns and she checked in with us throughout the trip to make sure things were going smoothly. I especially appreciated the video call with her prior to leaving.

It was really great to be able to ask any remaining questions and she provided us with all the information we would need once we were there. The whole trip was seamless, from our transfers to the flights to the camps.

I was particularly impressed with Desert and Delta Safaris, the company who ran the camps in Botswana. The accommodations, food and staff were incredible! I would highly recommend booking with Discover Africa and I would book with them again if I decided to return.

We picked Discover Africa Safaris due to recommendations from other friends. We are a family of 4 (2 teenagers) and did our bookings on very short notice; however, they did a great job finding the best alternatives in a compressed schedule that would fit our available days and budget. Our designated agent also kept on top of the logistics, with daily WhatsApp follow-ups in case of any contingencies or changes.

You may find cheaper options elsewhere, but if peace of mind is what you are looking for, we recommend them.

From start to finish Lana was very helpful and easy to communicate with during the booking process. While on the holiday she or a colleague were always there on hand to quickly manage any queries or needs.

We booked this trip as our honeymoon and it was a trip of a lifetime! Lana had a few unexpected surprises, such as a unique lunch booking, planned for us which made our trip that extra special and memorable. Would highly recommend Discover Africa Safari. Would definitely book with them again.

Jacki's Botswana Safari Experience

I discovered Susan Swanenpoel @ Discover Africa Group whilst getting quotes for a short safari for 4 people. Her quote was the most competitive, with the most luxurious lodge and comprehensive travel and advice. Due to issues with airline, she then had to rearrange our transportation which she did late into the night and weekends.

Once we arrived at Becks Lodge we were treated to the most stunning facilities, the rooms and views are beautiful and the food was as good as a top restaurant. The game drives were AMAZING and we saw the big 5 multiple times. Throughout the trip Susan kept in constant contact to make sure we were ok .

From the moment I stumbled across the website with the multitude of fabulous safari options I have been amazed at the service provided. In an age sadly when online tourism booking can be a minefield we had the best advice and care for our trip.

If you want faultless service to THE best safari places, with great travel options and constant communication look no further that Susan at Discover Africa Group!

Antoinette was extremely prompt with responses to questions and most anxious to provide options for all of our requests for tours. She communicated using telephone, email, text and What’s App, whatever was required to assure we had answers as promptly as possible. When we had to make last minute changes to tours because of flight delays, she was immediately on top of it, allowing us to see everything we originally scheduled, despite loss of a full day in Cape Town.

The guide service provided was exceptional. We had private tours for all events, allowing flexibility in timing and stops when we wanted. The Cape of Good Hope tour, the penguin colonies and Table Top Mountain gondola ride were amazing because of the knowledge of our guide.

Our Botswana Safari and Victoria Falls Elephant camps were of excellent quality with diversity between Okavango Delta and Moremi camps that allowed extraordinary wildlife sightings. The elephant encounter at Victoria Falls and our helicopter and guided tour of the falls allowed us to really see its full magnitude. There are so many wonderful things to say about Antoinette and Discover Africa.

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.
