Diane put together the perfect itinerary for what we were lookin for.
My wife and I wanted to visit South Africa and knew it had plenty of different hot spots to visit, however we weren’t sure what locations to chose or what hotel accommodations to stay at. After reaching out to Diane at Safari Bookings, she set up a phone call with us and asked us everything we’d like to do while in country. A few days later, she had set up the perfect itinerary for what we were looking for. It included everything from in-country flights to hotel reservations, as well as scheduled transportation.
We just returned from our trip and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. Everything that Diane set up for us was spot on for what we were looking at. Could not recommend enough!

The trip run without any problem, and when there was a minor incident (a delay in a transfer), the agent was available and supported us in solving it. The rest of the trip was just perfect

An amazing week in Kruger organised by Discover Africa Safaris!
BEST TRIP BY FAR! My wife and I visited South Africa this September, and Discover Africa proposed a tailored itinerary for us after carefully understanding what we're looking for and our budget, and were extremely helpful and accommodating to changes during the planning. Everything was well communicated and transparent, as they provide a detailed itinerary with pictures of every proposed lodge and an extensive list of what is offered in each place, which adds to the excitement and build up for the holiday :) Unfortunately, we had a major delay in our first flight from Malta and ended up missing our connecting flight to Johannesburg, and this is where the dedication and professionalism of Discover Africa (our contact person was Adelle Bell, who literally saved our holiday!), as they quickly reacted and amended the itinerary of our first day to ensure we still make it and not disrupt the original plan, even on a Sunday!
Then, once we got there, we were AMAZED by how everything even much better than we were expecting! We stayed at Jock Safari Lodge in Southern Kruger and at Kambaku River Lodge in Timbavati. Both lodges are extremely luxurious and exclusive, and the game drives (we had 8 in total) were all equally exciting and eventful! The rangers and trackers at both lodges were really good and managed to give us some of the most spectacular sightings, including a leopard eating its prey up on a tree, a pack of wild dogs hunting, and a pride of young lions, just to mention a few! We were also super lucky to see a group of around 30 elephants crossing right in front of us from our terrace at Jock, and also a hippo eating right outside our room at Kambaku! On our final day we did the Panoramic Route and stayed at Oliver's in White River. It's clear to me that all of Discover Africa's partners (lodges, drivers etc) are carefully selected to provide the best service possible, and they did.
I would definitely recommend Discover Africa, and will surely contact them again for our next trip in Africa :)

Very professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful with all my queries.
Discover Africa were in constant contact with me throughout my whole journey and the three resorts that I’ve visited. Always checking to see that I was happy with the way things are 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 resort 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.

Superb
We booked a holiday last minute and therefore the operator’s experience was invaluable . We discussed what we wanted and everything arranged for us was well organised, high quality tours & transfers, lots of advice, personal service and all high attention to detail. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend. Lots of communication even in country. Thanks very much Sam and a shout out to Ina who did our tours in Cape Town and was also terrific.

Faultless planning, advice, guidance and support from start to end, best holiday ever.
One holiday that's best left to the experts for advice planning and guidance especially coming from a country so far away. (Australia) We travelled as family, Wife and 17 year old daughter.
Our travel agent was absolutely wonderful and was only a phone call or message away to answer questions or provide any support or advice that was required.
The service and accommodations were faultless with impeccable service standards from all staff involved, amazing culture and culinary experiences which will be remembered forever and of course will have us returning in the near future. While initially our thoughts on pricing was slightly high, we soon came to realize that considering the amazing locations and remoteness, the high first class standard, the experiences we encountered, it is absolutely worth every penny and would not think twice about returning for more.
Discover Africa is the way to go.

Knowledgeable, communicative and very helpful.
Discover Africa planned our 10 day trip across Botswana and Zimbabwe. From the very first call, Vihann at Discover Africa was hugely knowledgeable and communicative and understood our brief perfectly. Vihann was quick to send us a first itinerary and responsive to any comments we had to help us create the perfect trip. In the run up to the trip, Vihann remained on hand for any questions. During the trip itself, the organisation was seamless and the lodges that Vihann had chosen were exactly what we were looking for - relaxed luxury, close to nature and small-scale. Planning our trip with Discover Africa was a great experience, which I would highly recommend!

Lana Goodwin was brilliant in listening to us and what we wanted out of our trip!
Lana Goodwin was brilliant in listening to us, offering and taking on suggestions, making amendments any time of the day. She was fab! Communication was smooth. Pick up/tranfers/drop off was painless and easy. No stress or worry. You just knew they’ll be there. Really reliable and to time
Accommodation was as described. She made sure to reserve one location so that we didn’t lose out which was nice. Threw in a full city tour as part of the package.
Both safari tours were exciting with brilliant guide and drivers. Fantastic experience.
My Mum and I enjoyed the care given at both accommodation. Nothing was too small for them as my mum was using a walking stick. They made sure she enjoyed every single trip lifting her even if it was needed. I can’t thank them enough.
The food was OMG fantastic and the rooms and views were superb!
Will definitely recommend her again and again. Thanks Lana

Megan's expertise shone through in her meticulous scheduling and incredible responsiveness
We had the absolute best experience with Megan from Discover Africa during our two-week journey through Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. From the moment we began planning our trip, Megan demonstrated an extraordinary level of professionalism and dedication that transformed our vacation into a truly magical experience.
Megan's expertise shone through in her meticulous scheduling and incredible responsiveness. No matter how big or small our requests or questions were, she was always readily available to help, ensuring every detail of our trip was perfectly tailored to our needs. The organization was nothing short of pristine, with each aspect of the journey carefully curated to provide maximum enjoyment and comfort.
The lodges we stayed in were absolutely gorgeous, each offering a unique window into the breathtaking African landscape. We were consistently surrounded by an amazing community that made us feel welcome and connected to the heart of Africa. This wasn't just a vacation – it was a profound, life-changing experience filled with moments of deep reflection, uncontrollable laughter, and genuine smiles.

Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable!
We had a fantastic experience with Discover Africa. Barry was so knowledgeable and helped us find the perfect lodge. His advice was spot on, and the lodge we chose (the one he recommended) exceeded all expectations. From arrival to departure, every need was anticipated and met, and the staff instantly felt like family. We were sad to leave, especially our host and our guide. The food was some of the best we have ever eaten; the room was gorgeous; and each day brought new adventures. In fact, we kept thinking it couldn’t any better— and then it did! We couldn’t have been happier with our experience and we look forward to our next trip.
