Greater Kruger Safari Short and Sweet

Home from a great trip to South Africa and Botswana, which was totally organised by Adelle at Discover Africa. Adelle was recommended to us by a friend, and after Adelle asked us what we would like to do and achieve on holiday, Adelle put together some great itineraries, and after some fine tuning between us, it ended up being the best holiday we have ever enjoyed. We never had to worry about any pick-ups, trips, hotel stays, or visits as everything was well organised. Next time we plan to visit Southern Africa again, we will ask Adelle to help us again.

Antoinette was amazing. She pulled together our Sabi Sands safari at the last minute (one month before travel) – securing our first-choice lodge and flights. She communicated so well at every stage of the process and provided comprehensive, objective advice and information. Every part of the trip was seamless and stress-free. Booking a safari isn’t something you take lightly, but I couldn’t have hoped for a smoother experience. Thank you!

Susan at Discover Africa designed a perfect dream vacation for us that was spectacular and worry-free. Even all the tour guides with African Eagle were amazing and every interaction was professional and seamless.

The lodges she chose were out of this world fabulous, great food and personal attention. And oh, the animals!! Such amazing up-close experiences made us feel so special. A million stars.

Discover Africa provided elite service from start to finish. After explaining what I was looking for in a safari trip, and my approximate budget, I received multiple itinerary options within 12 hours. Not only was each itinerary reflective of exactly the preferences I had set, but (1) every single accommodation option was amazing (2) a few options I had not found anywhere else during my own hours of research (3) the online itineraries themselves were extremely informational and user-friendly. I cross-referenced the prices provided with each itinerary with what they would be had I booked everything individually myself, and found them to be comparable.

After booking the trip, Megan at Discover Africa provided extremely helpful information (a travel tip and packing document, confirmation vouchers, an emergency contact number) and would check in every so often to make sure I didn’t have questions. Her communication was always helpful and never overbearing or spam-like, as I have experienced with other operators.

And finally, the trip itself: absolutely extraordinary. It is one that will stick with me for the rest of my life and it was 100% a result of using DiscoverAfrica. I will use them again whenever I come back, and have already sent out their information to friends and family. I highly recommend their services, you will not find anything better.

We had a wonderful family holiday in South Africa and Botswana. Matthys at Discover Africa put a great itinerary together, everything worked like clockwork and as advertised. The accommodations, food, flights, transfers and the land and water safaris were excellent with our safari guide being very knowledgeable. Staff at the safari camps were attentive & courteous. Our visit to Camp Moremi exceeded expectations and we viewed four of the big five ( no rhino, but we knew this in advance) plus many other animals. The internal flights with Safari Air were an adventure in their own right – especially the Cessna Van. Pilots were professional and helpful. Thank you for making this a memorable holiday.

The communication was excellent – we put in our questions each evening and had our answers the following morning. We went back & forth on what we wanted to do and what we could afford. Megan managed to squeeze in everything we wanted to do and even helped us find a cooking class in Johannesburg that she had attended. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip.

All the safaris (we went to 4 different safaris – 2 in both in Kruger and Chobe) were amazing. We managed to see the BIG five and much, much more.

The accommodations were fabulous and all the guides and staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We thought this trip to Africa would take it off our bucket list but while in Africa, we got hooked and want to go back – next time to Tanzania + Kenya + Morocco. It would be hard to pick our favorite spot, but our stay in Simon’s Town at Simon’s guest House had to top the list.

Thanks for helping us plan the trip of a lifetime. We look forward to planning another trip with you in the future.
