Professional, Exceeded Expectations, the Thrill of a Lifetime
My daughter and I did a 3-day Chobe safari in December. We were picked up at our hotel, escorted through the boarder, the water safari, awesome buffet lunch, and three days camping in the jungle. It was all amazing. The camp site had great equipment and the staff cooked delicious meals. We saw so many animals. In the morning, right behind our tent we have about 50 impala and two giraffes. We were the only two on our trip so it was a very special time with my daughter that I will remember for ever. Our guide was amazing and really tried hard to find all the animals possible. I would highly recommend this company and can't wait to do it again.

Great people, very well organised, excellent in tailoring to individual needs
We met Denver by coincidence and asked him to organise a 5 day-trip for us to Lower Zambezi and Siavonga very last minute. Last minute as in we wanted to leave the same day. Despite this challenge, Den's Safari organised it all very well and very quickly. What we especially appreciated was that he went out of his way to arrange for us to experience local village life. We visited a small village, got to participate in the day-to-day activities and stayed the night. It was a humbling experience which taught us a lot about local culture and living circumstances. It was fun that Denver and his colleague cooked up a big dinner for many of the people in the village.
We also spent a few nights at the Lower Zambezi, including a 1-day, 1 night canoe trip. It was special to share the river with lots of hippos and crocs so close by.
Overall, Denver and the guides were simply great guys to be around; super friendly, explained a lot about nature and culture and took care of us very well. Highly recommended!

Excellent Service, Amazing Experience
This was my first time in Zambia and on a safari holiday. The package which the team at Dens put together was comprehensive, well thought out, and excellent value for money. The quality, experience, and knowledge of the guides made the trip insightful and personal.
The team at Dens Safari were extremely thoughtful, accommodating, and took perfect care of us - from receiving us at the airport, accompanying us throughout the trip and attending to our needs and questions, all the way to our final goodbyes at the airport. Special mention to the chef which accompanied us on your travels around Zambia, some of the best cooking I've ever tasted!

14D safari in Zambia (including a 4D canoe safari)
I did a private camping safari with 3 other friends in Zambia from livingstone to Lusaka. From airport to airport, everything was meticulously planned. There were plenty of times where our opinions were asked for, valued and acted upon, which made the holiday very enjoyable and personal.
The team at Dens went the extra mile on a couple of occasions, e.g. Going out in the middle of the night to get pizza for supper, having mattresses in tents, stopping for hungry lion (Zambian equivalent of KFC) whenever we felt like. Food from the chef was of a remarkable standard, always nice after a tiring day out on safari.
I would highly recommend Dens and would definitely look out for them on my next African adventure.

14D Safari
Was from the group that did a private safari across Zambia including the canoe safari. Was a very good and well thought out service with high client to staff ratio. Any issues raised were promptly sorted. Great airport to airport service and highly personalised with any accommodation made for special requests. Special kudos to the chef we had which made the camping experience so much better. Really enjoyed south Luanga national park.

Denver was efficient & most accomodating. We'd a most wonderful time rivalving the big game safaris
Denver answers e mails, usually minutes after having sent them, even accounting for the considerable time change. The service was efficient and exceptional. The entire two weeks with him Exceeded my expectations. I was wowed with what we experienced. We unexpectedly flew from one park to another because he felt it was too long a drive for us. He is well connected and consequently we were lavishly welcomed wherever we went. My husband and I were in the Big Game parks in Kenya and Tanzania the year before but this gem of a tour took our breath away. The sights, the wildlife were up close and personal. We had never seen a lioness in hunt before and we spent a few hours mesmerized. Muvu game park made us wish we had booked a longer stay. This is a gem of a tour and we would Highly recommend it and Denver as we are ready to repeat this tour again.

3 days and 2 nights in Chobe Botswana
We had an amazing experience in Chobe. We have done a tent safari for 3 days and 2 nights. Our guide in Chobe "Stanley" and "Simon" were great, we saw almost everything. And our meals were also delicious. I would do it again!

Excellent hospitality, amazing experience
My husband and I had a wonderful time on the 3 days/2 nights tour in Chobe National Park thanks to the fantastic team at Dens Safari. We were initially a bit apprehensive about the safari experience - we’d never been to Africa, we had a tight schedule to adhere to and we were booking from overseas through the Safaribookings website. However, we were very impressed at the ease of communication and professionalism shown by the Dens Safari team and Denver - everything was taken care of from the moment we arrived in Livingstone to when we flew out. Every part of the safari tour exceeded our expectations - the guides were not only friendly and informative, but they really made an effort to make sure we were looked after and that we were enjoying ourselves; from Levy in Livingstone, to Simon and Stan in Chobe National Park. The game drives were unforgettable, and the drivers worked hard to ensure we were able to glimpse up close, the lives of many of the wild animals in Chobe National Park. The camp sites were always set up comfortably, and we enjoyed multiple delicious meals each day, thanks to our wonderful chef, Six. Overall, it was a very memorable trip, and I would love to come back and see more of Africa with the Dens Safari team again!

A superbly organized 13 day promotional Zambia expedition
I've just returned from Zambia, where I had my 1st southern African experience. Usually I plan my own itineraries and travel independently but in viewing this tour, it had all the elements that were attractive to me. The expedition included a 2 1/2 days canoeing and camping trip on the Lower Zambezi River. Denver made my experience in Zambia very rewarding. He went well beyond what was in the original itinerary, enabling me to maximize my time at each national park. Although animal sightings were not as numerous during the green season, I liked the lack of crowds at both Kafue and South Luangwa national parks. I'd like to thank Denver for assuring a great experience in Zambia and I hope to return in the future
