Timbavati Safari Short and Sweet

We travel a lot. I don’t normally write reviews and I typically plan and book everything myself because I am very exacting when it comes to the itinerary, logistics, accommodations, activities, etc. – everything must be perfect. When planning this trip, I vetted and researched at least 10 top-rated companies (including phone interviews) and reviewed a dozen itineraries before beginning to work with Discover Africa and Susan Veldman.

We were a group of 2 couples traveling together on a complex itinerary with high expectations, a restricted amount of time, and a budget range. Susan was patient, professional, friendly, and expertly knowledgeable. She worked with all of our parameters, spent hours on Zoom calls with me, and put together a lifetime experience trip to Tanzania and several other locations that was seamless and exceptional. In addition, Susan checked in with me regularly during our trip to make sure that everything was going well.

We had it all – incredible private guides, perfectly located accommodations, a great combination of luxury and simplicity to meet our desired experience at each location, and enriching experiences.

While on the trip, I was also pleased to hear from independent local operators that Discover Africa is highly regarded in the industry as an ethical company that is one of the best.

Save time and effort – I have done all of the work for you! (lol) – I highly recommend Susan at Discover Africa for your safari dreams!

It was an amazing holiday! First time in SA, and we had 8 days to visit Kruger Park and Cape Town. Matthys was our travel expert, and he arranged our tour in a smart and super convenient way, advising the best stay & safari options within our budget. Honeyguide Mantobeni Tented Camp in the middle of Kruger Park was epic! All domestic flights, meet & greet service, and hotel booking in Cape Town were awesome!

Thank you for your amazing work and care of your clients!!!

Discover Africa Safaris listened to what we wanted to experience in Africa and tailor made a series of fly in fly out safaris for us. The game drive locations that they chose were exceptional. This is why we came to Africa. Within minutes of our first game drive we were within metres of a pride of lions. The next day we were following a tracker on foot to a group of cheetah cubs.

They were contactable during our holiday and were able to resolve an issue which arose with one of our accommodation providers during our holiday. This enabled us to enjoy our holiday whilst they sorted out the issue in the background.

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.

Best family holiday we have ever had. All planning transfers and accommodation were perfect. Adelle’s communication was always prompt and efficient. We would definitely recommend Discover Africa.

This is an amazing safari tour service that will craft the perfect vacation specific to your needs! I traveled with my family of 5 (kids ages 12, 13, 15) to South Africa this past month and we felt like every detail of our trip was very organized and planned out.

We told them upfront some very specific things we wanted to see, as well as the type of accommodations we would like and they gave us a short list of venues to choose from. From there we selected the perfect trip.

Leading up to the trip we were contacted often about updates in the planning and all my many questions were answered.

With our kids with us, we wanted to make sure we were guaranteed the family-style accommodations and adjoining rooms, etc and they made sure this happened which really made a difference! The trip turned out to be so magical and amazing!

We felt safe with our transfer drivers and they always showed up early and gave us a great experience. The service at the resorts that were recommended to us was top-notch!

This is an amazing travel company to work with that you can trust will provide the perfect vacation for your family!!
