Fantastic itinerary,well priced ,personal touch ,efficient
It’s true when you hear the expression “I left my heart in Africa “as it has happened to us .
I would like to thank the DK tours team for the fantastic itinerary they put together and the personal touch .For making our bucket list adventure come true .
Webster ,a fountain of knowledge and the patience of a saint .
The Chobe National park safari was nothing short of amazing .Victoria Falls is spectacular ,and if you can pluck up the courage Devil’s pool is worth a visit along with a dip in the Zambezi river .
Sunset river cruise ,traditional Mokoro on the Okavango delta ,to mention a few.
The only downside is having to say goodbye .
We highly recommend DK tours ,you exceeded all our expectations.Thank you !!
It was worth every cent and more !!

Amazing
The Safari took 2 days, one Tarangerie and one Ngogoro Crater. Summarized in one sentence: Spectacular. We saw so many animals, very close - we were lucky. The guide and driver, Joseph, was very experienced, friendly and was always looking that everything and everyone was okay. The logge was good as well as the food and drinks provided.

The real Uganda experience
Nomad Africa organised for us the best introduction to Uganda with its great nature and sceneries, impressive wildlife, mild climate and above all the fantastic people. Some tips for interested travellers : use the plane for the longer distances, avoid the tourist trap for the chimp walk in Kibale and open yourself to the fantastic ugandan people.

Fantastic
Me and my husband we were guided by John to discover the Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. The safari was unforgettable thanks above all to John's experience who was able to find fantastic views and scenes wildelife of the animals! The safari certainly exceeded our expectations and was like immersing ourselves in a documentary. The facilities we stayed in (Kifaru Tented Camp and Ngorongoro Marera Mountain Lodge) are of the highest standard, the staff have always been kind and welcoming to us making us feel at home at all times.

Very well organized
We went with a friend and everything was great! Well organized. Spectacular views. It's a shame that there weren't too many animals in Gorongoro. I recommend the balloon ride (northern Serengeti).

Friendly, locally based organisation with great experience
My friends and I used Kilisa Tours to successfully climb Mt Kilimanjaro. They were friendly and helpful from start to finish, using experienced local guides and giving work to the people of their community:
This trip was a long time in the making and Naick/Kilisa Tours helped us to achieve this every step of the way. Kilisa seemed to be the most reasonably priced when we searched around but when we finally got onto the trek, we realised just how good the value was for our money. We had a team of 15 locals from the Kilimanjaro Region with us, including two experienced guides, Nickson and Livingstone. With their help we, as inexperienced but reasonably fit hikers, were able to reach the summit.
The team could not have been more supportive. In the long buildup, Naick was very patient and helpful in emails and whatsapp messaging, allowing us the time and knowledge that we needed to organise our trip. We got a thorough briefing and help preparing our trekking gear/clothes, at the hotel, on the night before the trek. Each evening we had a briefing about the following day, before getting a wake up call in the morning from our attentive host, Zakayo - who accompanied us to the summit on the final day and will make for a great future guide. We were treated to fresh ginger tea daily, as well as other hot drinks and soup to keep warm and big portioned meals/snacks for energy.
The porters in the team have great strength and heart. After we had stocked our smaller bags with the day's essentials, they would pack up the camp, including our remaining larger bags and move the whole camp to our next location - overtaking us on the way! At this point, as others have mentioned, paying for a private toilet for your group/self, to have as part of your camps, is well worth the money from the start.
Our guides were more than mere pace setters, pointing the way forward, they were knowledgeable about the local region, flora and forna. They have vast experience of climbing Kilimanjaro from all the various routes. Also, importantly, they were very humble, friendly, supportive, just generally good humoured company, as well as making for decent photographers for our small group!
The trek itself is manageable, as the guides will tell you, it is more of a mental test and taking things "pole pole" - slow and steady will get you to the top, while allowing you to enjoy the journey and some breathtaking views along the way!
Finally to emphasise again, this is a locally based company with local employees. They provided our small group of three with a thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable experience. I hope that spreading the word with this review, will go some way to repaying them for their hospitality and the fantastic memories which they have given to us.

Amazing
Thanks to Mary for the excellent organization. We explored many options from different companies, but she suggested a tour that was the best. She answered all our questions quickly before the safari. Everything was exactly as described in the program. Special thanks to our driver and guide. He narrated a lot of interesting things about animals and their behavior, and also chose the best places for filming, having best view and perfect stopovers. He was very professional and fulfilled all our requests. Would always recommend Safari Zest Tours as they’re the best in planning your safari request!!!
