Discover Africa Avis 158

We really enjoyed our trip from South Africa to Botswana and Zimbabwe! Sometimes a lot of whether a trip is successful comes down to the logistics. In this case, Susan Veldman and the company took care of all details related to our accommodations, transitions between countries and transportation from day to day so that our trip was seamless. The vendors and their staffs (hotels, restaurants, drivers, etc.) were so helpful and friendly. The experience was amazing!

This is the second safari holiday we have used Dev to organise. We had the privilege of visiting three beautiful lodges on this trip, Devs recommendations in three different locations, Sabi Sands, Timbavati, and Makalali , which entailed a lot of organising with pick up and drop by road, each of which was flawless almost to the minute.
First stop was Sabi Sands were we saw the big five within 30 minutes, Unbelievable! Next stop was Timbavati known for the possibility of seeing the rare white Lion, second day out we saw the white Lion cub, ( one of three in the world so we were told ) a gorgeous dirty little white cub with the pride, once again magic. Next stop was Makalali, Dev had mentioned the possibility of seeing Cheetahs, after a lot experienced tracking and off road driving we came across two magnificent males basking in the sun, unbelievable.
On our last day when due to leave, a Saturday, my wife fell ill and could not travel, one phone call to Dev, he had transfers rearranged, flights cancelled and rebooked, which took all the stress out of a stressful situation.
I cannot Speak highly enough of Dev and Discover Africa.

The trip that was put together by Chrizaan Troch at Discover Africa was amazing. The accommodation was perfect as was the driving experience. This was our third self drive tour in Namibia and it was one of the best. Maps, accommodation, car, support all seamless.

We had an amazing safari experience in Botswana thanks to Chrizaan!
She planned everything perfectly and was very professional, honest, and helpful throughout the entire trip. She supported us every step of the way and was always available whenever we needed assistance.
Thank you so much, Chrizaan, for everything you did for us. You organized an unforgettable trip and created memories that we will cherish forever. Highly recommended!

We contacted Discover Africa to help us plan my 40th birthday trip and we have no regrets. Justin organised the perfect trip for and everything went so smoothly. Our trip was truly amazing and the accommodation options he suggested for us were all amazing in different ways. We would highly recommend.

Fantastic support in planning a once in a lifetime trip with amazing recommendations of places to stay whilst maximising the budget set. Thank you Chrizaan for your attention to detail in making this such a special trip. The partnership between Imvelo and the local community in Hwange was so special to witness, with the added benefit of walking with the rhinos!

Booking with Justin at Discover Africa, to plan my safari and Victoria Falls adventure turned out to be the best choice I made. Right from the start, Justin was friendly, responsive, and incredibly thorough—he answered all my questions and provided a detailed itinerary with great accommodation and tour options.
The wildlife encounters were amazing, thanks to local guides, and Victoria Falls was spectacular.
I really appreciated how Justin checked in with me throughout the entire trip to make sure everything was perfect and answered any questions.
My experience with Discover Africa was exceptional, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’d recommend Justin and the Discover Africa agency to anyone without hesitation.

We had an amazing time at our safari place(Kapama Karula) organized by Susan from Discover Africa!
She is very professional and gave us unforgettable time in South Africa!
I highly recommend Susan and discover Africa! 😍

We worked with Discover Africa to arrange our first ever Safari. Chrizaan from Discover Africa did a tremendous job in first understanding our requirements and whishes and then translating them into the perfect trip for us! Everything was organized to the point and we did not have to fret about anything. We just had to bring our passport, money and good mood to enjoy an incredible vacation. We felt like travelling with family! Everybody was extremely friendly and the game reserves and lodges were first class. We saw all the animals we could have wished for and even more. We took so many photos, it will take weeks for us to decide which are the best ones. This is a great "problem" to have after such an exciting vacation. We are already talking about our next trip to Africa - and we would choose Discover Africa to organize the next trip for us again!

All advising given by Discover Africa (in our case, by Justin Van Wyk) was really helpful and the programe they have outlined was great. Everything went really smooth and professional.

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!

Justin planned the best safari for our honeymoon. Everything was coordinated smoothly and the arrangements could not have been better. We are hoping to take another trip to South Africa in the future and will be using Discover Africa again. Justin was available for any questions we had during our safari and checked in to ensure we were good. A fantastic experience!!

Chrizaan arranged an amazing safari experience for six of us, who came from the UK and Australia. She secured our booking at a superb Lodge in the Kruger at relatively short notice, tied in the flight transfers and ensured that the whole experience ran smoothly. She was extremely knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. We felt that we were in very capable hands, and Chrizaan was a delight to correspond with.

This was honestly the most perfect and well planned vacation I have ever taken. Justin at Discover Africa had every detail taken care of and we were treated like Royalty. It exceeded my expectations and was the thrill of a lifetime.

This was my 6th trip to South Africa and Botswana and, as always, Matthys van Aswegen made it a happy, safe, and exciting experience! My roommate, Glenna, and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to South Africa's Boulders Beach to visit the African Penguin Reserve and all the beautiful scenery in that area. Another Discover Africa staff member, Kayla Robson, joined Glenna and me for dinner one evening and it was such a delight getting acquainted with another Discover Africa person whose talents enrich the travel experience.
When we arrived in Botswana we were so pleased to have the two guides I have always requested and, even though I've been at Camps Moremi and Savute before, they provided us with safaris that added to my previous experiences, learning new things about animal behavior and, the bonus, twice seeing a cheetah - a cat I hadn't yet seen in Botswana!
And I'm already planning my next trip to these two fabulous countries!

South Africa is an amazing place, made batter by Susan who planned our trip. From the outset emails where prompt and efficient with lots of advice and ideas. Everything was planned with precision.
Cape Town was incredible, the V&A and Table Mountain are must do's. The hop on off bus is a great way to see the area and get about. I definitely recommend this company to plan your trip.

Thank you Cayleigh

For organising just a great trip Every destination was different but all the accommodation was first class The managers were first class and always had my transfers in hand Took the helicopter ride at Victoria Falls really add to the wal along the Falls The people in Botswana are wonderful and happy really added to the stay. The safaris were fantastic

Working with Susan made our experience just perfect. She has everything organized and it all went so well. Her recommendations were perfect. We loved the safaris she chose, the lodges, guides, staff and the experience were wonderful.

As a party of seven guests we found the travel arrangements seamless and the accommodation well suited to both older and younger members. In addition, we were of mixed bush experience with some seasoned safari members and some first timers. The Lodges and especially the guides were able to accommodate all levels of interest and discussion. We stayed at a lodge in the Chobe concession (our experienced and wise guide was Lebo) as well as in the delta in the Khwai concession (our guide Biyst was approachable and knowledgeable). The Lodges were well appointed, comfortable and the service friendly and impeccable. Discover Africa’s organizational skills were spot on! This was both affordable and value for money. They are clearly the experts in this area and we can highly recommend them especially for first timer safari travellers.
