Discover Africa Reviews and Testimonials

I would highly recommend Discover Africa Safaris (and Diane in particular) for planning our South African adventure. Diane put together a wonderful tour for us in Sabi Sands and Timbavati. She chose two amazing safari lodges that were beyond my expectations and we had an unforgettable time on game drives, bush walks, and watching wildlife from the lodges. We were able to see many species of mammals and birds very close up. Inyati Game Lodge in particular was the ultimate luxury safari experience.

Transfers to and from the airport and between safari lodges were seamless. Diane also organized accommodation and activities in Cape Town, Hermanus, and Knysna with similar efficiency. The whole trip was planned to the last detail making it stress-free and communication was excellent throughout the whole process. Thank you for an unforgettable holiday!

Great company to work with. Communications were very helpful, reliability was superb and the money spent was in reason. Only need for future is helping to file the visas which was a very complex challenge.

From the first call to Adelle at Discover Africa to the last minute of my holiday was perfection, from the drivers to the accomodation. Adelle fullfilled all my wishes and there was not a single thing to worry about, absolutely everything was organised. The Safari at Sabi Sabi reserve was amazing, we saw the Super 7, the food, accomodation and staff was outstanding at the Little Bush Camp. I was terribly emotional when it came to say good-bye.

Cape Town was a great place to be to visit all the attractions, our accomodation was an 1800 Harbour Masters residence, absolutely beautiful and you really are right in the V&A waterfront, our private guide for the day was so infomative and polite. Hermanus, where we were so lucky to see whales. Our final days at Franschhoek, proved to be the relaxing few days, we stayed at Avonrood Guest house in the Mountain View Suite, which had the most stunning views of the mountains and a very spacious and comfortable room. The vineyards are no distance away, and the restaurants excellent. All in all a wonderful and memorable time. Thank you

Namibia was all we expected. The Kulala Lodge, Fort, Onguma and Okumjima were amazing – both clean/staff-wise and animal-wise. We were a bit disappointed with Okutala lodge since the behaviour of local staff was in comparison with the other lodges substandard and way too obvious for being constantly tipped – bother line unpleasant. The only comment regarding the vehicle, a 7-seater, is that if you have long-distance trips it would be good to have the headrest available as the bumpy rounds are a lot to take on.

We had the pleasure of working with Susan from Discover Africa to help plan our entire two-week trip. We spent months emailing back and forth with Susan to finalize our itinerary, and she was always informative, communicative and professional!

Susan ensured we had the best accommodations, and each resort rolled out the red carpet. I don’t think we will ever be able to top this trip! We started in Cape Town -> Grootbos -> Babylonstoren -> Sabi Sands -> Cape Town, and Susan did not miss a beat.

While on holiday, she checked in with us and ensured everything went smoothly from beginning to end. She was always a phone call away and helped us navigate dinners, excursions, spa treatments, transportation, and more!

Our itinerary that Susan put together was so detail-oriented that we had to show up to excursions and reservations when she told us to. This resulted in a 100% stress-free holiday!

We can’t thank Susan and Discover Africa enough for everything she did for us. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Hats off to Susan!

Everything was handled and arranged for us. We had nothing to worry about other than experiencing everything South Africa had to teach. Susan made sure that we were on track and knowledgeable at every stage and even going so far as to check us in for our flights from the Safari in preparation of the next leg of our adventure.

Discover Africa was in constant contact with me throughout my whole journey and the three resorts that I’ve visited. Always checked to see that I was happy with the way things were going. Their communication was excellent. My holiday was superb.

All three resorts that I visited were first class, but all different in their own right. All organised transfers between the resort went flawlessly just like clockwork. Always on time. All resorts worked together with Discover Africa to make sure my stay was first class.

I am more than happy with the service I received from Discover Africa and I believe it was real value for money spent. All I have to do now is decide which resort to visit on my return and of course, my return will all be handled by Discover Africa. Such first-class service.

We recently went on safari in Sabi Sands private game reserve. Vihann set us up with a beautiful lake-view suite at the Arathusa Lodge. Words and pictures cannot explain what a wonderful experience this was.

The animal viewing was incredible. The guides were so knowledgeable and always made us feel safe. We saw the big 5 in our first full day and were able to see cats on every game drive. The watering hole on the property was constantly active with elephants, hippos, and the resident crocodile.

In addition to the big 5, we saw many other animals including hyenas, zebras, giraffes, warthogs, monkeys, wildebeests, honey badgers, chameleons, and many birds. For any wildlife lover, this is truly the trip of a lifetime. I would recommend booking through Discover Africa as they took care of everything and made the travel so easy.

Many thanks for the comprehensive planning of our 4 day stay in Rwanda with gorilla and golden monkey trekking. Your partner in Rwanda ensured we get the best experience possible. Beyond the Volcanoes National Park our driver took us on a city tour in Kigali and showed us the scenic places on our way to the Volcanoes and back. His expertise was outstanding. Highly recommended.

I was able to spend the month of September visiting South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. Matthys created a unique itinerary based on my individual preferences for adventure and interests. He was quick to respond to communications, made reservations promptly, was inquisitive and responsive to requested adjustments.

The tour itself was flawless. Everything happened on time and just as planned. There was not a single issue or concern during the entire month of travel. All of the accommodations, transports, and flight schedules were safe, comfortable, and met or exceeded expectations. Matthys will be the first person I contact when I go back!

Service. Interaction, communication was excellent. All flights, transfers and places we stayed were in time and beautiful.

Our adviser Antoinette was great; she asked the right questions regarding what we were looking for, and presented an itinerary we could tweak with her to produce an unforgettable experience. We’d recommend her and her company for sure!
