Volevamo ringraziare il nostro caro amico nonché fantastica guida David che grazie alla sua esperienza ci ha consentito di vivere un esperienza indimenticabile tra i fantastici parchi del circuito del sud Tanzania, chiunque intenda avventurarsi in questa splendida terra non esiti a contattarlo sarà sempre al vostro fianco con la semplicità e l'educazione che lo contraddistinguono, inoltre cosa importante per una guida safari ha gli occhi dappertutto, non vi farà mai rientrare al campo senza aver visto tutto quello di cui il parco è ricco. Insomma io e mia moglie ci siamo affidati a lui e ne siamo più che soddisfatti dopo due anni siamo ancora in contatto

My colleague and I had a very productive and positive experience while in Tanzania, and our guide was VERY attentive and accommodating. Be it for business or personal travel, will certainly use them again!

Excellent experience

Excellent service. Extremely friendly and well knowledgeable guides. They were always ready before departure and I never had to wait on them. I will definitely use them again in future, so I highly recommend their services.

Great adventure with a great team
5/5

Davis is an excellent guide that made my safari in Ruaha to be the best I have ever done. He is a very reliable person and capable of seeing a lot of animals and good at following foot prints (He once saw a totally hidden 1m long lizard in a tree while driving). I also stayed with Davis in a camp that he organized in the middle of the bush. It was very authentic and the cook and assistant he chose were great and helpful persons too. We had long and interesting discussions in the evening after dinner. My experience with Davis is 100% positive. I am looking forward to going back on safari with him.

An unforgettable trip
5/5

In June 2014 my family and I had the best vacation ever. Our very cheerful and helpful driver/guide, Davis, took us to places more fascinating and beautiful than the other. For one week we went game watching in Selous, safariing in Mikumi, and hiking in the rainforrest in Udzungwa Mountains. Though the places were absolutely breathtaking, the people we met along the way made the trip even more special and we could not have asked for a better guide than Davis to show us the wonderful country of Tanzania. It was very inspiring to meet someone who truly loves he´s job as much as Davis seems to do. Every day her met met us with a huge smile and a joke up his sleeve! Tanzania is a beautiful country with beautiful nature and people, and we will definitely be back one day - but only if we can have Davis with us too!

Ruaha National Park
5/5

Davies is a professional operator with a vast amount of experience, we thoroughly enjoyed his company, knowledge and top level of service. I have recommended him to many friends and am just waiting for the children to get a bit older before we go again.
Whilst Nyasi is a relatively new operator, you are guaranteed competitive prices with no compromise on the service as Davies has all the contacts and knowledge to provide you a top class Safari.

Best safari imaginable
5/5

The trip I had in Tanzania guided by Davis Albert was easily my best holiday ever! The experience could not have been better for my family. My wife Andie and I had wondered how our 11 and 16 year-old daughters Ruby and Alice would take to long safaris – well, they immediately got into it and loved every minute!

We visited a wonderful mixture of places on driving safari in central/southern Tanzania. It was great to experience different kinds of place: bush camping by the river in the undulating woodlands of Selous Game Reserve, permanent tented camping at Stanley’s Kopjie in Mikumi National Park, the cool, green mountains of Udzungwa NP, and the waterholes and beautiful acacia and baobab woodland of Ruaha NP. Wildlife from the huge to the tiny was abundant throughout, and none of it could escape the incredibly sharp eyes of Davis! One second he would spot a highly camouflaged Verreaux’s eagle-owl nearby, the next instant he could pick out a speck on the horizon that would magically turn into a Greater Kudu or leopard. It was so great to be with someone whose astounding knowledge of the wildlife was matched by tireless efforts to share and explore with us. Davis was not only guide, but also cultural ambassador, Swahili coach, entertainer and all round wonderful company!

The diverse magic of the places we visited was really enhanced by being virtually the only people around, except the wonderful crew who cheerfully made sure that we had everything we wanted, and were safe and
comfortable. All the arrangements were smooth, at the right time and place, and we never had down-time caused by something not working. This made the trip effortless for us - a stark contrast to our usual camping
holidays. The days were punctuated with welcome experiences provided by someone else! Stopping under the branches of baobab and tamarind trees, an interesting packed lunch appearing apparently from nowhere. A cold drink would suddenly materialize by the campfire overlooking the river. A day on safari was followed by a warm shower in the ensuite section of the tent. And it was not just routine, but also special, thoughtful
provisions. We happened to mention that Alice was turning 16. Davis is extremely well-connected, with friends and relations apparently everywhere. That evening, courtesy of his cousin chef, a surprise birthday cake appeared labelled ‘Happy Birthday Alice’ with candles and accompanied by ‘Happy Birthday’ sung with Swahili accents.

It was with great regret that we left Davis to round out our extraordinary visit to Tanzania with a couple of days on the unique island of Zanzibar, from where we made a three-day visit to the incredible eco-tourist spot Chumbe Island. Home to the world’s largest invertebrate, the Coconut crab, Chumbe is a paradise of exciting snorkelling among turtles on the gorgeous reef, bright beaches, and a very charming crew of dedicated staff who care so excellently for the island and its visitors.

I can unhesitatingly give my highest recommendation for a trip with Davis and his team. Our complete confidence in him was totally justified. In the time it took to plan our adventure, we developed very high expectations: they were more than met – our safari (Swahili for journey) was even better than we had dreamed. We can’t wait to go back to Tanzania, to see Davis and Nyasi Adventure!

Wonderful Safari Experience in Southern Tanzania.
5/5

We had Davis as our driver/guide for our safaris to Mikumi, Selous and Ruaha in 2009 and 2012. He is an exceptionally good guide and driver, and is willing to go just that bit further to make the safari a wonderful experience. He is Wahehe, so southern Tanzania is his homeland. His long experience guiding in the parks of the southern circuit gives him an intimate knowledge of the area and the animals. He is friendly and very accommodating which is essential when you are spending a couple of weeks together in the bush. Above all, I feel confident and secure with him and I look forward to our next safari.
