Discover Africa Group

Discover Africa Group is a team of innovative, experienced, and ambitious go-getters passionate about sharing Africa’s best with travellers from all around the world.

Our company consists of Discover Africa Safaris, which specialises in bespoke luxury safari travel in Southern and East Africa, and Drive South Africa - Africa’s leading online rental car comparison and booking engine.

Whether it’s helping to plan an unforgettable tailor-made African safari or enabling an epic self-drive road trip, our undying mission is to showcase Africa’s unique natural beauty and diverse cultures. We’ve been there and done that so we know exactly what it takes to experience Africa at its finest!

We pride ourselves on our excellent customer satisfaction (we’re consistently rated 5 stars) and strive to deliver exceptional experiences for every traveller that entrusts us with their African adventure.

Our digital marketing and development projects are run in-house with a close-knit team of permanent staff, contractors and agencies. Together, we act as a dedicated “internal agency” producing quality work for our core brands.

We take a Kaizen approach of constant improvement and collaborate closely with our travel team to make sure we’re user- and customer-centric in all that we do.

We’re friendly, supportive, personal and professional. We understand that we’re not selling a product - we’re in the business of making travellers’ dreams come true.

Discover Africa Group is based in the northern suburbs of Cape Town, so you may be travelling against traffic on your daily commute.
