Always going for your money
Kenya-Tanzania 11 days safari trip. The safari was good but the company is not trustworthy. We booked more than 6 months ago to avoid surprises and they have been very responsive all the time. But, the day we departed, they told us we had to pay about $400 each extra if we wanted to sleep on mattresses and not on a sleeping bag on the floor. They blamed that Tanzania sleeping options were too basic. So we paid but I am sure that was an excuse to get extra money on the spot. After that, on the first night, they told us to collect the park fees as they were not included. I had to do a bank transfer to pay for it. Only when I find proof that it was all included, they accepted to refund us. It took till the end of the trip to get the money back and I had to drive to their headquarters and get the money. Even there, they gave me $100 less and only after I counted the money, they found another $100 in their pockets. Lunch packs during the safari were very bad, not much in it and low quality. Some extra money were asked for some extra experiences, more than agreed at the beginning. Find a better company to do your tour and save yourself some disappointment.

Organized and strategic
The safari experience with Geff was absolutely incredible.
His team —our driver and our amazing chef— made this an unforgettable adventure.
Everything was wonderfully organized: the meals, the places we stayed, every detail was beyond expectations.
If I had to recommend it a thousand times, I’d do it with my eyes closed.

10 days Birds and general wildlife photography tour to western Uganda
We are a family group of four adults and from 20th to 30th June 2025 we visited Uganda for birds and wildlife photography. We chose the Wide birding Eco Tours Ltd after checking the reviews on the internet. The itinerary was prepared by Mr. Davis according to our requirements. We visited the Lake Mburo National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable N. Park, Queen’s Elizabeth N. Park Budongo forest and Murchison falls N. Park. With the help of Mr. Davis we have seen and photographed many birds and animals. We took several boat trips in which we had the opportunity to see and take photos of birds and animals such as the shoebill, the African fish eagle, many species of king fishers, bee eaters and various water birds. Furthermore we took photos from a real close distance of elephants, hippos and crocodiles.
Mr Davis is an experienced bird guide. He knows all the birds knows where to find them, and has good connections with other bird guides.
In general we had 10 wonderful days in Uganda full of action travel enjoyment.
Thank you Davis for taking such good care of us

Fantastic Itinerary, Great Service, and Amazing Trip
Claire really provided superior service in helping me out with a tweaked itinerary to squeeze in as much as possible in the 7 days I had to work with. Spent two nights in Victoria Falls with the great folks at the Ilala Lodge Hotel, 2 wonderful nights on the Chobe River at Muchenje Safari Lodge, and 2 great nights down in Khwai on the Okavango Delta at the Mmatsebe Tented Camp. Trip included transfers from Victoria Falls to Kasane, round trip charter flight down to the delta from Kasane, and then a transfer back to Victoria Falls for my flight home. Claire made everything seamless, provided great notes along the way as I wanted to try to maximize game sightings, and worked to get me back over to Victoria Falls vs going home through Maun, which was a much more expensive flight book endeavor. The final detailed itinerary including contacts, timing, and an app to have everything readily available was great and everything went perfectly according to how it was scripted. No issues anywhere along the way with the transfers, checking in at lodges, or charter flights with Mack Air. Really couldn't have asked for a better trip and Claire really selected three great stays for me along the way. Each were like staying with family and really enjoyed the folks and food. Game drives around Chobe and Khwai were really special. Lots of elephant, zebra, impala, giraffe, painted dogs, hyena, crocs, hippos, a group of lionesses with two cubs, two male lion brothers, another pride of lions with a single male and lionesses, and to cap off Africa's Big 5 for me, a male and female leopard down in the Okavango Delta. I have pics that would make the BBC and Discovery Channels jealous, lol. Would definitely recommend visiting with Claire for your booking needs and this itinerary worked really well for my time and inbound and outbound flight options.

Mark is professional tour organiser and help his clients to the best of his ability.
Did Okavango Delta safari for 2 nights and 3 days tour. Services (occomdation, food and mokoro & walks) were excellent and guide could explain well.
The tour was reliable and staff (guide, chef and support staff) looked after me well.

Exceeded Expectations
From the very start I knew this company was the best choice for my safari trip. Brian, my tour consultant, was always extremely helpful, answered all my questions, texted back quickly (both before my trip started and also during the tour when I had concernings), and made sure everything was according to my needs. Even when I had to make a couple of changes to my itinerary, he was understanding of it and rearranged everything.
I booked the 7-day Kenya and Tanzania Safari on a budget fare, which was so much more than I had expected for the value I payed. All accomodations were comfortable and clean, but the highlights for me were Nyati Safari Camp and Simba Camp, which offered two completely different but great experiences. Overall, the food was good, especially in Tanzania because of Erika, the amazing cook that travelled with us. As for the vehicles, they were in good state, comfortable and didn't have any problem at all with them, except for a couple of windows that were hard to open.
Both my drivers, Simon in Kenya and Jonas in Tanzania, were extremely skillful in spotting animals, answered questions about wildlife and local culture, and gave extra information about the animals and their behavior. Jonas even prevented I got scammed once. They were both respectful around animals and tried not to get inappropiately close to them (which, I learned, not every driver cares about), although they would sometimes drive somewhat fast when approaching them, and that could be worrying.
In sum, the whole tour was beyond-satisfying and I got to live this incredible experience without any disturbances or complaints. On the contrary, I'm just thinking about when I'll be able to go back again.

good holiday in kenya
I had an amazing experience with this Kenya tour group! The price was very affordable, especially considering the quality of the services provided. The food was delicious throughout the trip — fresh, flavorful, and a great mix of local and international options. The accommodation was also excellent: clean, comfortable, and well-located. Overall, it was a well-organized and enjoyable trip. Highly recommended!

Wild animals, rugged beauty, and a slightly different experience
We are two couples participating in this 5 day tour. The best thing is that here it is possible to visit Tsavo West, Amboseli, and Tsavo East - three parks of different character - in one trip.
In Amboseli, right in front of our vehicle, a leopard was hiding in the bushes to catch prey - Peter, the guide, said that it was very rare to come so close. On the second day, we saw two lions sleeping.
When I go to Tsavo West, I feel like I'm alone in the world - the desolate, rocky roads and the occasional ostrich or buffalo.
While walking in Mzima Springs in the evening, I suddenly saw a crocodile - that experience was scary but will be remembered very well.
Alfred was very helpful in finalizing our hotel choices. We stayed at a mid-range camp.
The bathroom was of basic standard, but it was cleaned regularly and kept tidy.
The jeep's open roof design was great for taking pictures, but in some places the roads were so bad that there was a lot of jerking. For those who want to get a taste of the real safari, the perfect choice can be (100%)

Exceeded expectations
I booked a 5-Day Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking Tour with Dav Safaris and it was absolutely amazing. From the start, Reagan was very helpful with organizing my itinerary and answering all my questions. The whole tour was arranged to my needs and I was happily surprised that I got a "private" tour, since I was the only person departing that day. I even got welcomed at the airport by Reagan himself, his daughter and Ben, my guide, who was also extremely helpful and kind to me the whole five days. Because I'm a woman travelling alone, it can be concerning to go on the road that much time with a man you don't know, but Ben always made me feel safe and comfortable, and he was always trying to improve my experience by widening my knowledge about Uganda, it's wildlife and culture, and making sure I was having the time of my life.
As for the trekking experiences, they were both so amazing and fulfilling, and I was lucky enough (also thanks to Ben) that neither of them were as long as I had expected. Other highlights of the trip were the monkey trekk and community tour, which I enjoyed greatly (guided by a local named Patrick), and the visit to Lake Buyonyi.
Regarding the lodges, I stayed in three different ones, all of them absolutely stunning and filled with the nicest people. The food was great at all times, whether we ate at the lodges, packed lunches, or on the road. The vehicle was comfortable, which was great because we had many driving hours a day.
In sum, I'm happy I got to live this experience without any disturbances or complaints. I 100% recommend Dav Safaris.
