Excellent
This was my second time booking with DK Tours after they took care of my husband and I in 2024.
This time around I booked for my parents. I must give special mention to Owen. He took care of my Parents as though they are his own. They were so comfortable during their stay and where assisted with anything and everything in terms of excursions and transfers. Owen communicated well with me daily, took his own time to take amazing videos and pictures of them. I cannot thank you enough Owen and DK TOURS for making this trip not only amazing but memorable. Be blessed and keep doing what you are doing.

Great tour
We very much enjoyed our trip with DK Tours. There was a good variety of activities and lots of opportunities to see wildlife which was our primary goal. All of the accommodation was good, Robins Camp was a particular high-light. The trip was well organised and we were well looked after by all the staff at DK Tours.

Very good experience
Everything was perfect for us.
On our last day in Hwange, I would suggest adding one more game drive from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., then having breakfast before driving to Victoria Falls and visiting the falls in the afternoon.
Many thanks again to our driver, Enoke. His service was highly professional.

Caring and professional company
I am a full time carer of my husband who has advanced dementia. I had an opportunity for my son to care for him for a week, and my children encouraged me to visit Victoria Falls ( a lifetime dream). I had only a week to arrange a trip. I contacted a number of local tour companies in Vic Falls, and was impressed by the prompt and professional response of Brighton. He managed to put together, at very short notice, and for a solo traveller a 5 night programme which included Hwange NP, the Falls (amazing and exceeded all expectations), Sunset Cruise, Chobe NP day trip, and Boma dinner.
Don't know where to start. It was the most amazing visit...packed with activities, but all running smoothly because of the excellent service from DK. I was met at the airport by Owen. What an ambassador for Zimbabwe! He was knowledgeable and shared many insights into his country. Also an excellent and safe driver, seeming to know all the potholes on the highway,! I met Owen a number of times ,during my stay, and always looked forward to our conversations which gave me greater knowledge of his country.
Robins camp in Hwange was a delight, and staff really wanting to make your stay comfortable. James was a skilled guide and every game drive was rewarding. Chobe NP was a contrast, but again, a wonderful experience, seeing animals come to the river to drink...and play!!
Witnessing Victoria Falls was one of the most moving experiences of my life...that force of nature! In retrospect, I wish I had visited first thing in morning (less people) and without a guide, for a more 'personal' experience, but my packed programme wouldn't have allowed this.
I cannot fault any aspect of the wonderful tour that DK arranged. I had an issue with a large surcharge their (separate company,) payment platform ,made for paying by credit card. DK tried to take this up on my behalf. In the end, they 'gifted' me a Helicopter ride over the Falls (worth more than the surcharge,). Brighton came to meet me in person on my last day. It was clear that he and his father, Winston were genuinely concerned that my trip had been satisfactory. No worries! It created fantastic memories that will stay with me in difficult times. A huge thank you to Winston and Brighton, and also to Owen who are me feel safe and welcome at all times. Unreservedly recommend them!

Offered a well organised tour and activities, highly recommended.
Our 8 day safari from Victoria Falls to Chobe, Elephant Sands, Gweta, and the Okavango Delta was fantastic. We were well supported by Webster, Enoch and Owen from DK Tours. All our transfers were on time, our accommodation was great, the food was of a high standard, and our game drives, boat cruises and other activities were amazing and unforgetable. Our one glitch was a broken down game drive vehicle on the last day, and despite an anxious wait till after dark, we received a tow from a passing vehicle, and were collected by the co-owner of the lodge. Overall, we couldn't recommend DK Tours and Safaris highly enough. Thanks guys!!

An unmissable Matopo 1-day tour
The day tour to Matopo National Park was incredible. The rocky landscape was surreal; an amazing park easily accessible from Bulawayo - about 1 hour away. Our guide Bafana was the perfect host, he was very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful explanation of the cave paintings, the animals and the history in the park and area. We saw a mongoose, baboons and a rhino and her calf up close, which was so very moving.
I could not have wished for a better way to spend my last day before I returned to the UK.
Thank you all for making today so special.

DK Tours and Safaris are great
DK Tours And Safaris were great. We did a 10 day Hwange NP, Victoria Falls & Chobe NP trip with them.
DK were very easy to deal with - very prompt in replying to any questions before & during the tour, reliable & punctual pickups (they always turned up & were waiting for us at the scheduled time). All the staff were friendly & informative (Webster, Owen, Enoch, Brighton - i hope i did not forget anyone!).
The accommodation they booked was great & had friendly helpful staff, great meals - Robins Camp was charming & a great experience to stay there inside Hwange NP, with banded mongoose, warthogs, impala & other wildlife nearby, great guide (Mongameli, Mr President) was informative & a great wildlife spotter plus made great G&Ts & had a variety of snacks for us each sunset. A'Zambezi was a lovely setting right on the river at Victoria Falls & had a free shuttle to town & traditional dances one night. TraveLodge, Kasane was very friendly, a few minutes drive from Chobe NP, a nice platform at the back for a sunset view. The guides we had were great too - Cobra, LT & Tsebe(?) all were great wildlife spotters & friendly & safety conscious.
The activities DK organised & offered were great too - the helicopter flight with Chikopopo was amazing, all the game drives & boat trips excellent. The dinner at Boma was great - I loved where we all took part in a combined drum performance - great fun (you get to stay in your seat so its not embarrassing at all! & I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying it).
It was all good, there is nothing bad to say about DK. I would definitely use them again if I come back to any countries they cover.
We saw 4 of the Big 5 & lots of wildlife close up - lions, elephants, giraffes, zebra, hippos, impala, wildebeest, tsesebe, black backed jackals, cape buffalo, baboons, and even 2 leopards & cheetahs, mongoose, crocodiles, plus lovely birds - lilac-breastfed roller, kori bustards, a secretary bird, and more.
A fantastic trip. Thankyou, DK :)
Assistance with tours
A big thank you to Webster for all his help. He went out of his way to connect me with the right people and helped me find budget friendly options during my trip. What I appreciated most was that he genuinely wanted to help and wasn't doing it for any personal gain.
His advice and local knowledge were incredibly useful, and I would highly recommend reaching out to him if you need assistance. Thanks again, Webster!

OUR BEST EVER SAFARI
We had the best safari experience ever! Chobe National Park is absolutely amazing. We saw lions every day, a leopard, four cheetahs, mongooses, two hyenas, and about 20 sable antelope crossing the road right in front of us, plus all the other incredible African animals such as elephants, giraffes, and so much more.
Tony Mobile Safaris looked after us so well. Everything was excellent.
Starting with our guide, Martengu — he is a good boat and vehicle driver, and best of all, he has such a wealth of knowledge and is an excellent tracker. The best guide we have ever had in in any tour Africa and South America.
Ta and Dishon were also so friendly. Ta is a fantastic cook; we loved all the meals he prepared, and Dishon set up the camp so well. We were not expecting such a large tent and private amenities.
Thank you all for making this such a memorable experience.
Absolutely superlative service and tours
We did two absolutely amazing tours with DK Tours and Safari; an all day trip to Chobe National Park in Botswana which included a morning safari and afternoon boat ride, and then a three hour game drive in the afternoon through Zambezi National Park. Both were absolutely outstanding. Cobra, our day guide through Chobe, has an incredibly sharp eye and we were able to witness a plethora of animals; so magical so see them in their natural habitat. Highlights would include a whole family of elephants from extremely close proximity (but always with safety in mind). Seeing, hearing, experiences these magnificent creatures and their young ones feeding and interacting is something that will stay with me for a lifetime. Also memorable was coming across a couple of lions feeding on a recently killed water buffalo; a humble reminder of the circle of life and in its own powerful way, very beautiful. The river portion of the trip revealed crocodiles, hippos, and beautiful bird species. The next day on the three hour afternoon drive through Zambezi. Though a smaller, less ‘commercial’ park than Chobe, our wonderful guide Enock was able to show us sights we did not see in Chobe; most notably, water buffalo, zebras, and the once in a lifetime experience of watching a lioness stalking a group of warthogs. Equally special was the group of elephants emerging from the hills, coming down to the water hole at sunset. Organization and communication for both were wonderful. A most highly recommended company!
