Kruger, Timbavati and the Panorama Route

After a 10-day trip to South Africa with my wife, I’m still raving about the experience Discover Africa put together for us. We worked with Matthys Van Aswegen, who was fantastic from start to finish. He listened to what we wanted, rolled with a few changes of heart on our part without any hassle, and built an itinerary that ended up being exactly right for us. Every guide and driver we had was excellent and always punctual, and the places we stayed – both in Cape Town and on safari – were stunning. Nothing about the trip felt disjointed or stressful; it all just flowed. Honestly one of the best trips we’ve ever taken.

Justin took great care to make sure we had the best possible experience in Kruger NP and we are so grateful.

Through the booking process we were looking at several options and he patiently guided us through the alternatives but ultimately encouraged us to select the itinerary that would give us the best chance of seeing the cats that were on the bucket list.

Even when we had some minor hiccups with things such as delayed flights he was a quick WhatsApp message away and was always very supportive.

Would definitely recommend Justin and the Discover Africa team.

Decided to go on my first safari holiday this year and as Discover Africa was highly rated I used them and boy they were BRILLIANT! Based in Cape Town, my advisor was the EXCELLENT Vihann.

My first contact was a video call with him and he was very competent, knowledgeable and helpful. I told Vihann the sort of holiday I wanted and lo and behold within a couple of days I had received and EXCELLENT QUOTATION.

It was for a 10-day holiday including a 4-day safari at the excellent Kambaku River Sands in Timbavati in greater Kruger followed by 4 days on Cape Town touring the beautiful Western Cape privately chauffeured in my own luxury car. Vihann’s service throughout was excellent including providing me with all the information I needed step by step in organised/chronological order and replying to my ‘many’ enquiries within a day or so.

If you want an excellent Travel Agent/Tour Operator in Africa THE GO TO PLACE IS DISCOVER AFRICA.

Matthys from Discover Africa helped us organize our trip to Kruger. He was always very responsive, easy to reach and friendly. The lodge we originally wanted to book wasn’t available anymore, but he immediately suggested a great alternative in the same part of the park which we really enjoyed. Same with finding the perfect flights for us. Everything went so smoothly and was so hassle-free – it couldn’t have been organized any better.

I would definitely recommend booking through Discover Africa and especially Matthys!

Planning the trip was managed extremely well especially since travel was at a busy time of year and not much notice was given.

All communication was by email, responded to promptly and efficiently. Different options were provided along with recommendations based on local experience. Best of all, everything went according to plan and overall result was a stress free trip.

I would recommend Discover Africa to my associates and friends.

Our family (5 adults and 3 children) went to the Kruger with Discover Africa and all I can say is that it was outstanding! The service, the attention, the arrangements, the site, the lodge … everything was absolutely perfect thanks to Discover Africa. We will certainly travel with them again on our next trip to Africa.
