Horse Riding Safari on the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans

After discovering a high number of camps in and around the Okavango, and at a price higher than we typically go for on a safari, we were very unsure on the route to go down for our honeymoon (especially whilst trying to planning our wedding!). So we reached out to Adelle at Discover Africa Safaris and she put the perfect itinerary together for us, which matched our budget, and the experience far exceeded our expectations!

Rhys and Grace's Botswana Experience

We had a fantastic time at Rra Dinare, Moremi Crossing and Nxai Pan camps. All of the camps are managed by Kwando Safaris who are also exceptional. We had great wildlife sightings at all 3 camps – it was very hard to choose which camp we preferred as they are all amazing in their own way, as are the guides and staff at all camps. Adelle had also arranged private dinners and champagne for us at 2 of the 3 camps, which was a lovely addition. Our highlight was the camping out in the bush evening under the stars listening to the hippos calling and lions roaring all night.

Barry helped me plan my dream safari to South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. I was nervous about getting transportation from the airport to my lodges and making sure I was able to make all my safaris on time. Barry planned my itinerary very carefully so I didn’t have anything to worry about.

He was also very good at responding to me consistently whenever I had questions. Sabi Sands, in South Africa, was my favourite. I was so lucky to be able to see the Big 5 on the very first game drive! The lodges in Sabi Sands were so luxurious and the hospitality was incredible. Each country had different terrain and was unique in its own way. I can’t wait to plan my next safari to Africa!

This was our third trip with Discover Africa and once again it was a memorable experience, well organized, thorough and exactly what we had requested. Megan is the best.

Our trip was to the Okavango Delta and included flights into the Kwando Concession via Maun from Cape Town. The Camps were well run, clean with good food and friendly staff. The guides and trackers were knowledgeable and helpful and we got really close to many animals and birds and kills.

Because the camps are fairly isolated, the game viewing was a pleasure and very private and the tracking experiences were out of this world. We were treated to an in-depth discussion of animals, birds, bushes and trees and their use in traditional medicine. Over the course of the 5 days, we encountered close to 30 species of animals, over 60 species of birds and over 50 types of vegetation.

All in all, a memorable and delightful experience

Thank you, Megan and Discover Africa

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!

Our trips organized by Discover Africa were amazing. Matthys put together three incredible packages and worked with us throughout the entire journey to make everything perfect.

We went to Botswana, Namibia and Tanzania with Discover Africa, and had a stay in Cape Town between two of the safari trips.

Matthys was right there when we wanted to make small changes to a flight and a hotel. We absolutely could not have been happier, they exceeded our expectations completely.

We originally booked 4 nights in Zimbabwe and Botswana for April 2020. The original planning and booking process was simple. Megan at Discover Africa provided a variety of options for durations and locations, and we were able to select the number of nights and the hotels that worked best for our budget and what we wanted to see/do. It was easy to add excursions such as boat tours and a helicopter flight over Victoria Falls.

When Covid derailed our trip, we were able to defer all the bookings indefinitely. In Spring of 2021, we put everything back on track for May 2021, and Megan got us set up with appointments and the information we needed to get Covid PCR tests in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Everything went off without a hitch.

Victoria Falls was extraordinary. The land transit to Botswana was complicated, but handled adroitly by the Wild Horizons drivers. We would have had a real headache figuring out those specifics without an experienced guide on the ground.

Our time in Chobe National Park was wonderful; we saw so many animals from pretty close-up! Again, the guides here were great. All of our covid results came in very quickly, and we had no worries about making our next transit to another country. Can’t recommend Discover Africa enough for getting you to and around Southern Africa.

Even in these uncertain Covid times, it’s very doable (check local conditions frequently though, as things seem to change rapidly).
