South Africa Big 5 Safari and Victoria Falls Journey

Going to south and central Africa was a bucket list item for me and booking a big and expensive trip always feels a bit risky and you hope you have made the right choice.

Booking with Discover Africa was fantastic from beginning to end! Our trip coordinator, Susan Veldman, was very responsive whenever we had questions or concerns and she checked in with us throughout the trip to make sure things were going smoothly. I especially appreciated the video call with her prior to leaving.

It was really great to be able to ask any remaining questions and she provided us with all the information we would need once we were there. The whole trip was seamless, from our transfers to the flights to the camps.

I was particularly impressed with Desert and Delta Safaris, the company who ran the camps in Botswana. The accommodations, food and staff were incredible! I would highly recommend booking with Discover Africa and I would book with them again if I decided to return.

My husband and I were going on a trip to South Africa with 2 friends. These friends were repeat customers of Discover Africa and we trusted them with our trip to South Africa. It was so easy to work with Megan as she designed and tailored our vacation to our every need and want. She gave us a small selection of safari lodges, advised us on what was best and was prompt to reply and offer solutions to all our wishes. Not a glitch happened from the first pick-up at the airport to the drop-off at the cruise terminal. We felt taken care of and were worry-free. Our tour guide in Cape Town, Steven, was so nice and professional and had lots of information to share with us.

This was a dream vacation and a lot of thanks are due to Megan and Discover Africa, who did all the work and we just enjoyed the high level of expertise, care and dedication.

We would most definitely use them again and would recommend them for a trip to Africa.

We had a lovely trip to Stellenbosch/Franschhoek area and visited some beautiful wine farms. The guide had lots of knowledge and took us to places that we would not have been able to find by just reading reviews. Our overnight stay at Lanzerac Wine Estate was also perfect. TIP: Make sure you book your dinner reservations and spa visit well in advance – the best places are quite busy this time of year.

Our 3 safaris in Botswana- we were transported to a new world, in the company of wild animals. The three Kwando camps brought us to a variety of terrains. Each offered great care and expert guides and trackers. Thank you Megan and Discover Africa!

Tour highlights Botswana and victoria falls very well organized, good lodges and flight connections. Wonderful staff everywhere taking care of all our needs and giving us all best of nature. The very best value/quality. We will surely book other destinations.

The best holiday without any cares or worries. The whole package of information with our itinerary etc was beautifully presented and explained everything.

Very professional. The accommodation was perfect and the staff at Ilala Lodge, Sanctuary Stanley’s Camp and Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero Lodge were so welcoming and helpful. Special mention must be made of Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero Lodge. It must be the flagship Sanctuary Lodge in the world! The staff there were exceptional and saw to every detail and beyond. Towels shaped into swans or hearts etc. on the beds with bougainvillea flowers around them. They went the extra mile. The tour guides at both safari lodges were so knowledgeable and accommodating in trying to find wonderful places for sun-downers and morning teas and in finding lion etc.

We felt safe in their hands and it was great to be able to joke and laugh with them. Thank you to all who made our holiday a wonderful experience.
