Zambia Discovery Safari

Many thanks to Discover Africa for organising a great trip to Victoria Falls and Botswana. Chrizaan was extremely helpful in planning the trip (including promptly arranging visa related paperwork etc) and answering queries. The quality of the accommodations was great (with a particular shout-out to Jackalberry Lodge in Chobe, which is a beautiful property) with excellent service throughout. The guides at Chobe and the Okavango Delta worked hard to make sure that the wildlife sightings were great (was just a little unlucky given the recent freak flooding in the Delta – even then, I had two excellent leopard sightings in Khwai!). Would gladly reach out to Discover Africa to help plan future safaris.

Our party of seven had a great time on our trip to Africa. All the accommodations, tours and travel connections were terrific. We left for Africa on a Tuesday and 13 days later arrived back home and never had to worry about anything. The itinerary was varied and everything was enjoyable.

I was at a loss of where to begin planning a multi-country tip to Africa consisting of a safari, Victoria Falls and Namibia dune experience. After researching I came upon Discover Africa, and am so thankful I did. With Diane’s help we were able to visit Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe with all the transportation, lodging and food logistics worked out. All we had to do was show up and everything was taken care of for us. Diane worked within our budget, provided excellent lodging options and truly delivered a once in a lifetime trip. If you are planning to visit Africa I would recommend going with this company, they make your life so much easier!

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!

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.

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.
