South Africa Big 5 Safari and Victoria Falls Journey

A Truly Seamless African Adventure

Adelle from Discover Africa was exceptional from beginning to end. She was knowledgeable, responsive and always prompt. She created an excellent itinerary with a perfect schedule, wonderful lodges and seamlessly coordinated transfers. Every detail was handled beautifully, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy an unforgettable experience.

The entire trip was also an excellent value. I genuinely cannot think of one negative thing to say. Adelle exceeded our expectations, and I would recommend her and Discover Africa without hesitation!

We booked our safari trip through Justin van Wyk from Discover Africa, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.

He organized and booked everything from A to Z, so we didn’t have to worry about anything at all. Throughout the entire trip, we stayed in close contact, and he regularly checked in to make sure everything was going well.

We are extremely satisfied with his work and truly appreciated his professionalism and attention to detail.

We would highly recommend both him and the agency anytime!

This was a well organized trip that smoothly transitioned us from one adventure to the next. All our transfers from hotels to airport to safari lodges were professional, courteous, and timely. We loved the places that were recommended and felt the pace of our trip was just right.

Jeanne's Southern Africa Experience

I just got back from a truly wonderful trip to South Africa, organised by DiscoverAfrica. We spent 4 nights in Cape Town, 3 in Franschhoek and 3 at Arathusa Lodge in Sabi Sands. The transfers organised between all these locations were faultless and very professional. The highlight had to be the safari lodge at the end. We saw all the Big 5—lots of leopards, including 2 cubs, lions (and a cub), a baby hippo, baby elephants, a baby giraffe, hyenas, white rhinos, and many others.

The rangers and trackers are superb; we hadn’t seen a buffalo until the last 10 minutes of our last game drive. I still can’t fathom how our tracker saw the buffalo through all the bush! I can’t recommend Discover Africa enough; they were always prompt in responding to queries and changes, which we had to sort out, and it was all done with no issues.

Neil's Safari Trip

Discover Africa delivered the most amazing honeymoon experience to South Africa. The Dulini safari lodge in Sabi Sands was so special, private, and the game drives are packed with adventure. Then the boutique Camps Bay hotel in Cape Town was beautiful. Transfers and tours were first class. A seamless experience. We cannot recommend booking enough – it is worth it!

We are very seasoned travelers. We travel all around the world and the vast majority of the time, we organize and book our own travel. A safari, though, is a different matter, as far as we see it.

We didn’t know where to begin and we only had three months to get it all squared away, so we decided an agent would make the most sense. We used SafariBookings.com and had several agents respond, all with very tempting itineraries.

However, the professionalism and expertise of Discover Africa’s agent, Matthys, was head and shoulders above the rest of the pack. We worked with Matthys over several days to fine tune the itinerary and we ended up with an itinerary that seemed like it was going to provide an amazing experience for us on our first time to S. Africa and first safari experience. Each day on safari we would mention to each other how finely tuned the planning Matthys at Discover Africa was.

Transfers, food allergies, special needs … everything was all taken care of. Not only that but the safari lodges we stayed at fit us perfectly. It was as if a close friend, who knows us well, had booked these for us. The fact that Matthys is on the other side of the planet in Cape Town, has never met us before, and we only communicated via email … well, we were definitely impressed. I doubt it was just luck, either. We stayed at three different lodges. Each was typical “us” and when we looked at other lodges online, we saw that Matthys definitely pointed us in the right direction.

A safari is a must-do experience, for sure. And I can’t imagine ever going on another one without using Discover Africa as our booking and planning agency. Bravo!
