100% thrilled with Discover Africa and Matthys
My mom and I travelled to SA in March 2019. Matthys suggested the ideal lodgings for us in Pretoria (131 Herbert Baker) and safari option (Sabi Sabi Little Bush Camp). We could not have been more pleased. The food and hospitality at all locations was above and beyond our expectations. All transfers were reliable and on time. The value for money was excellent. I will book through Matthys and Discover Africa again when we return.

Made the trip of a lifetime so much more
Megan at Discover Africa helped us turn a simple safari into the trip of a lifetime. She exceeded expectations at every turn. We had a package deal for a basic safari but knew that we wanted to make more of the trip than just that. Megan helped us to find our perfect balance of luxury and budget and to spend the right amount of time in the right places. Even though we live on the other side of the world, she was always accessible in our planning to answer questions and provide options and constructive advice. And that accessibility continued throughout our travels which gave us great comfort knowing we could get questions and concerns answered right away.
Our safari at Sabi Sands Little Bush Camp was more than we ever imagined with top-notch luxury, great food, and incredible safari drives. We had sightings of just about every animal in the region including cheetahs and leopards on the same day.

You can book your African holiday in full confidence with discover Africa
Matthys van Aswegen from Discover Africa has planned an unforgettable trip to Zimbabwe for us. We had only 9 days holiday but Matthys has it perfectly thought out and we got the maximum one can get. We didn't lose a minute and yet we enjoyed a relaxing journey. We went to the Victoria falls, Hwange natural park and lake Kariba park. Internal flights, cars, guides, everything was very well organised and everyone was waiting for us upon arrival. Just great ! Communication with Matthys was very easy and punctual, complete and clear answer to every question. He also gave us helpful advice. We are definitly going to book our next trip to Africa again at Discover Africa and Matthys van Aswegen. Correct price also !
Many thanks Matthys !

Expeience with Discover Afrika met our expectations.
We were very satisfied with the level of service and communication with Discover Africa.
They were very helpful when we were trying to build up our itinerary and find an appropriate accommodation. Information pack send before the trip was very comprehensive and included all information we required.

Memorable Trip to Namibia - Fantastic Accommodations
Discover Africa put together a fantastic itinerary for us and we had no travel hassles. We stayed at Villa Violet in Windhoek (1 night), Little Kalula Lodge in Sossusvlei (3 nights), and GoncheGanas in Windhoek (1 night). Each place was lovely, VERY comfortable, and had parking. We had very personal service at Little Kalula. We loved the Little Kalula team and our guide, Goodley. Little Kalula has a private entrance to the Sossusvlei park, so we didn't have to wait in line or drive 30 minutes out of the way to the entrance. The "big daddy" dune and dead flay were stunning. We went on a memorable quad bike adventure in the Namib Desert with Goodley as well. At GoncheGanas, we were so fortunate to see the white rhino and her baby (only 5 remaining in the park). Excellent game sightings here.

Planned and executed well to the last detail
Traveling with a large group is generally a challenge but the level of detail of planning and consistency in execution made this one of the most memorable family vacation ever. The personal touches to ensure not only dietary needs were met but personal preferences as well was very much appreciated. The guides for the safari tours were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and eager to please. Living from the Kimundo camp was our favorite though all were impressive. The tent accommodations were beyond expectations and the service for morning wake up, showers and laundry as well as wifi connection were quite unexpected and appreciated. I would highly recommend the experience provided by Discover Africa to anyone planning a safari trip.

Discover Africa Is The Best!
Our first Africa safari trip was even better than we had hoped for, due in large part to Discover Africa's excellent tour operator, Matthys van Aswegen. Matthys was unbelievably patient in helping us plan the trip we wanted, arranging for everything beforehand, and answering our endless questions, which I am sure he had heard a thousand times, as if he was hearing them for the first time. Discover Africa came very highly recommended to us by Sabi Sabi, one of the premier lodges in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, which gave us confidence that they were not only a reputable company, but that they really knew what they were doing. And they did! There were absolutely no surprises on the trip, all reservations were confirmed ahead of time, the Sabi Sabi Selati Camp where we stayed was top-notch all the way, with an extraordinary staff, knowledgeable guides and trackers, and food and accommodations that were absolutely five-star. We will definitely work with Discover Africa again for our next Africa adventure. Thank you, Matthys, for helping us have the trip of a lifetime! John Chiego

Visiting Uganda Gorilas with Discover Africa
The whole travel experience was amazing.
Since the arrangemenf with all Discover Africa Technology providing us a special travel web site until the last mile arrangement that put us face to face with Gorilas in Bwindi, Uganda was just perfect.
Special attention to the field team that was just perfect with all details and always on time and helpful.
Greta job with sales team flexibility to attend all our requests in this so complex travel.
On behalf of my family thank you and congratulate on this great job.

Megan was fabulous & so patient in customizing our trip to do EXACTLY what we wanted affordably!
The communication was excellent - we put in our questions each evening and had our answers the following morning. We went back & forth on what we wanted to do and what we could afford. Megan managed to squeeze in everything we wanted to do and even helped us find a cooking class in Johannesburg that she had attended. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. All the safaris (we went to 4 different safaris - 2 in both in Kruger and Chobe) were amazing. We managed to see the BIG five and much, much more. The accommodations were fabulous and all the guides and staff couldn't have been more helpful. We thought this trip to Africa would take it off our bucket list but while in Africa, we got hooked and want to go back - next time to Tanzania + Kenya + Morocco. It would be hard to pick our favorite spot, but our stay in Simon's Town at Simon's guest House had to top the list. Thanks for helping us plan the trip of a lifetime. We look forward to planning another trip with you in the future.
