Okavango
Very professional; quick to respond. The trip itself was fantastic. The lodging and the game drives were great. Guide was great; he anticipated where hard-to-find animals would show up. Lodge staff were very friendly. Food was great.

Adelle is absolutely the best
It was an extensive planning process to put together a 24 day safari and adventure trip covering Victoria Falls, Mana Pools and Hwange Park in Zimbabwe, followed by a wonderful experience in Botswana on the Chobe River and Okvango Delta. There were flight considerations and a few changed plans along the way. I was worried that I was becoming a bore but no, Adelle was just as excited to plan my trip as I was to go on it. Finally the day arrived and I boarded my flights and arrived in Victoria Falls after 36 hours of travel. There waiting for me was my shuttle driver and the hotel was amazing. The next day the same level of service and off to Mana Pools I went. Same wonderful level of service.
But 1.5 days later I fell in the middle of the night and fractured two discs in my back. The care and support I received from Adelle is what got me through what could have turned into a tragedy. She was there for me every step of the way and continued to check in with me after I was finally safe at home. I don't know what I would have done without her. A 5 star rating is simply not enough. Discover Africa and Adelle deserve a million stars. Once my back is healed we will begin the planning process again. They have won not only my repeat business but also my heart. I cannot sing their praises loudly enough.

Planning our Chobe safari went smoothly with Chrizaan.
Chrizaan Troch of Discover Africa helped us organize a recent safari in Chobe National Park. She was great to deal with - listened to what we wanted, and also offered other suggestions. She was very efficient, and always replied promptly to our questions.
We had a wonderful experience! We would happily contact Chrizaan for our next holiday in Africa.

Absolutely Fabulous Tour
Cayleigh put together an 18 day tour of Victoria Falls, Botswana and Namibia that was the best trip we have ever taken! The service was so personal and professional, we were taken care of every single step of the way. When a flight was cancelled for some of our party, Cayleigh was immediately in touch even though she was on vacation. Any time we had a question, Cayleigh was quick to respond. When our flights were changed and we were scheduled to arrive in the evening, she made sure that a dinner was waiting for us at the hotel. The accomodations were amazing, the staff at each lodge were awesome. All of our meals were exceptional, and included most of our beer and wine. Truly, it was an experience we will never forget.

What an experience!
Working with Megan from Discover Africa to setup our safari was a breeze. She manage to get us to all of the locations we wanted to get to and the camps we wanted to visit. She was incredibly responsive and helped us with any questions or problems we had. (Don't forget to find somewhere to store your hard sided suitcases when you switch to duffel bags!).
All of the Sanctuary Lodges blew our expectations out of the water. Our tracker Sky at Chief's Camp was amazing and we spent four hours one day tracking down a rhino until we finally managed to see it making our trip complete! The staff at all of the Sanctuary camps were incredibly and being able to go in either private or small groups (4 total people) game tracking made the experience infinitely better.
My only advice to fellow travelers would be to try to take a day trip to see Victoria Falls from the Chobe area instead of going to a camp in Zambia. We found the Botswana national parks to be an overall much better experience than those of Zambia.

Professional and efficient.
Planning the trip was managed extremely well especially since travel was at a busy time of year and not much notice was given. All communication was by email, responded to promptly and efficiently. Different options were provided along with recommendations based on local experience. Best of all, everything went according to plan and overall result was a stress free trip. I would recommend Discover Africa to my associates and friends.

Karl from DA certainly hit the nail on the head with our itinerary. Perfect
Karl's communication was faultless, he replied immediately with information to our Questions. Everything from the vehicle, driver, accommodation, meeting and greeting, food, company, safari our tour was everything and more than we expected. We had the most amazing and memorable time ever. David Anatory our driver was perfect, his communication, his safe driver with a little adventure every now and then :) made the trip for us. He certainly picked up our vibes for what we liked and what we didn't want to experience. We enjoyed his sense of humour, knowledge of and passion for Tanzania. I could go on and on forever about our experience. We rate it 100 out of 100 and if we could afford it we would definitely do again. Thanks DA your great, but a special thank you to David, see you in NZ sometime soon.

Trip of a Lifetime
Judy from Discover Africa organized a spectacular 9 day safari in Botswana for us. Everything was very well organized, the accommodations and service were outstanding. Judy promptly answered all of our questions, was patient with our ever-changing plans, and coordinated an unforgettable trip for us. Can highly recommend.

Megan found us the perfect honeymoon safari experience
My wife and I spent a while doing research and talked to several groups to find the perfect balance of price, location, and luxury we were looking for on our 3 night safari as part of a honeymoon trip to South Africa. Megan Warrington and her team understood exactly what we were looking for and found the perfect option for us (Jock Safari Lodge) that we wouldn't have uncovered otherwise. Not only that, but Discover Africa was so easy to deal with, very responsive any time we had questions, and provided just the right amount of communication in the lead up to our trip.
Frankly, I didn't expect to enjoy the safari experience as much as I did. But it was incredible and now I'm trying to figure out a way to do it again. I'll certainly be contacting Megan and Discover Africa for their guidance next time as well.

Amazing!
My family and I had a great time on our trip to Botswana and Zimbabwe. It's been a long time coming, since we booked this trip for the summer of "nothing" (2020) and had to reschedule for 2023. Adelle was fantastic and patient as we made date changes several times. The hotels and experiences at these hotels were great--including the super fun (casino) hotel in Johannesburg. That made the overnight we weren't really looking forward to so fun.
Adelle covered all of the details and was amazingly responsive for the 7-hour time difference. She answered every question we had. The hotels were beautiful, good safaris and great service. We were even upgraded to the Safari Club in Victoria Falls, which was an extra treat. The river safari in Botswana was a family favorite, as was the tour of Victoria Falls. I also want to say the border crossing between Botswana and Zimbabwe would have been a little nerve-wracking if we were doing it on our own.
Great trip! I highly recommend them and have done so already with several friends. I plan to use Discover Africa on our next trip to Africa.
