Kruger, Timbavati and the Panorama Route

All bookings were at luxurious and convenient places. The camp tents are beautifully decorated with a rustic look and feel. Food service were amazing for most part. The bush drives are as best as it could be given the rainy season etc. Punctuality has been an added attribute.

We had the pleasure to have Vihann from Discover Africa, as our travel agent. What a nice and easy experience. He always delivered more than expected. Very professional, fast, flexible and attentive.

We were totally positively surprised that booking with them was cheaper than by ourselves and with better services and rooms!!! So we cannot be more than happy and thankful to Vihann for providing us with the best trip we could ever have imagined on our first time in Africa.

He did everything and we got all the trip details in a very nice format. We recommend Vihann as the AGENT to fulfill any needs in Africa without hesitation.

Megan, thank you! I am so pleased I worked a 6-night Safari into my Itinerary. 3 nights, 2 days in each park was simply perfect. Jock Safari Lodge in Kruger was outstanding in all areas, I recommend it without hesitation. Further north, the Sabi Sands provided excellent sightings.

Wanting to add additional experiences to an underlying South Africa trip for a friend’s wedding, we worked with Adelle initially to review options. Her experience and knowledge was evident from the beginning as she provided several different options based on the price range we provided. As we settled on an initial itinerary, the pandemic arrived and we had to delay everything. Adelle adeptly handled all adjustments, delays, cancellations, and rebookings over the next 2 years.

Finally able to travel, we were provided well in advance very useful, detailed, and pertinent information about our accommodations, locations, preparatory considerations (e.g., vaccines, in-country customs, tipping, etc.), and itinerary. Our trip included personally-arranged stops within agent-arranged trip and Adelle expertly arranged for all pick-up and shuttle services so we only needed to take care of getting on and off the planes for each leg of our trip.

Our all-inclusive safari lodges were described as “luxury,” but we had no idea…until we arrived. One of them has become our favorite, though both are easily classified as luxury. Each lodge had its own approach and atmosphere, but both provided great meals and services. Our favorite had more-than-welcoming staff, continually-customized meals to meet dietary needs, special touches for meal locations and room service, a air of romance hidden through many small and large acts by the staff, and game drives and bush walks, which all combined to give us experiences over the several days we were there that we couldn’t even have imagined–even after reading all the information ahead of time.

Simply put, we have found our travel agent for southern Africa, will be coming back in the future, and will not hesitate to trust Adelle’s thoughts and planning on any future trip.

Look no more. Our experience during 5 days of safari at Sabi Sands was amazing. The trip was super well organized according to our needs and our time. No hiccups, no surprises, smooth travel and transitions.

Our travel expert, Adelle was with us from the beginning to the end to make sure everything was in order. I will definitely use this company for my future trips to Africa.

It was incredibly easy to book the tour with Matthys and the Discover Africa team. They catered to our dates, our budget, and the type of trip we were looking for. One thing I really enjoyed was that everything was taken care of from the moment we touched down in Johannesburg (e.g. – flight the next day, transfers between flights to lodge locations, meals, drinks, everything!) so we didn’t have to think about all the travel logistics.

We stayed at the Simbavati Hilltop Lodge for 2 nights, and the Arathusa location in Sabi Sands for 2 nights. Both the locations did not disappoint. The views were incredible from our rooms (we could see elephants, antelope, hippos etc… directly from our private patios), staff/services were 10/10, and the food/drinks were absolutely incredible.

The game drives themselves were amazing as well – saw all the big 5 (some multiple times) and a bunch of other awesome animals as well. Guides were very knowledgeable, made you feel safe, and were just overall a great time. We highly recommend this trip.
