If you're booking a safari, request Daudi. He's the real deal and he made this trip.
Just got back from an incredible trip, and our safari guide Daudi made the whole thing. Hands down the best guide we've had.
Daudi found us the Big Five — every single one. That's not luck, that's a guy who knows the bush cold and reads it like a map. He drove hard when he needed to and held steady when it counted, put us right where the action was without ever making us feel unsafe. Total pro, no wasted moves.
What really stood out was how much he knew. He wasn't just spotting animals, he was breaking down behavior, terrain, the whole ecosystem, so every drive felt like more than a checklist.
We capped it off with a few days on the beach in Zanzibar, and it was the perfect way to unwind after the drives — white sand, warm water, no schedule. Great combo: adrenaline in the bush, then total relaxation on the coast.

Well Organized and Great Experience
We contacted Ntee about a full day safari from Victoria Falls and the communication was fast and clear. They also provided a detailed plan and included options. This was a big part of why we chose Ntee and not options presented by our hotel in VF. This wasn't our main focus, but Ntee offered a better value than what we found from providers in Victoria Falls. Our guides were knowledgeable and engaging. Ntee himself oversaw our border crossings. We loved the experience so much that we will come back to Zim and Botswana in the future because of the great experience we had with Ntee. Thank you!

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!!

Great safari! We saw all of the Big 5 and lots of other animals even very close by
We booked this incredible 6-day-Safari with Apodiformes Adventures and we couldn’t have been happier with our guide Songe. We went to the Amboseli National park, to Lake Nakuru and finally to Massi Mara. He made sure we saw all of the big five animals (lion, elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo and leopard) within only 3 days. He went above and beyond to assure that we could see as many lions as possible (41 lions in total!). Because we forgot our digital camera, we needed to get really close to the animals to take photos and Songe managed to get us as close as 2m to the animals and sometimes the big cats went by directly next to the car. Even when most guides didn’t drive up close to the big cats Songe talked to the rangers and got us directly in front of them. He listened to our requests about the animals we wanted to see, stopped at the right spots so we could take beautiful photos and even went off road to ensure we would get the perfect photos. He always was in contact to the other guides and assured us to be at the right spots at the right time to see the rare animals like leopards and rhinos. When there were many jeeps near one animals he made sure we could get to the front and as close to the animal as possible. Songe is a very friendly guide who told us a lot about the animals and the national parks. The jeep is sturdy and the seats are comfortable. Overall we are very glad he was our guide and can’t recommend him enough

Songwe is an excellent guide who can show you the wildlife in an incredible way
We travelled through Kenya for 6 days. Songwe is an exceptionally capable guide, we found all of the big 5 species within 3 days! He was able to help us with all upcoming issues. The tour vehicle was very reliable, with cozy seats and great views through the roof.

Excellent customer service, prompt communication, attention to detail, well organised, knowledgeable
We used Jangwa safaris to assist in a 20 day Zambia to Botswana and Namibia tour. With transfers arranged from Zambia to Botswana, and self drive Windhoek to Windhoek via Fish River Canyon, Swakopmund, Etosha and many places in between!, this was an unforgettable experience for the 4 of us (two couples).
From the initial fact finding via online enquiry, emails, and WhatsApp, David and Johann provided answers to questions promptly, were able to tailor the trip to meet our needs, and provided professional information and recommendations regarding accommodation and vehicle options to meet our budget, travel itineraries and when trying to decide what we could comfortably achieve in the timeframe we had.
Having arranged travel bookings independently many times, this was a bit of a leap of faith for us to use and pay a company we were previously unaware of, in a country we had not previously travelled to, and were unsure of the legitimacy of. We should not have been concerned, everything was handled and managed very professionally, with the travel arrangements, transfers, rental vehicle, accommodations, and excursions exceeding expectations throughout.
We had one flight cancellation (externally arranged), but David and Johann were quick to accommodate our late changes and amendments , which made the experience reasonably stress free.
One of the selling points for us was the included excursions, and these were well worth having prearranged.
I cannot rate the team at Jangwa highly enough, we were appreciative of being able to meet David in person while in Namibia, and we hope we have the opportunity to use their services again in the future.
Botswana - we could only fit in a couple of nights at Chobe, but it was well worth it. Plenty of wildlife, the options of boat and land safaris gave different perspectives and the people, accommodation and meals were excellent!
Namibia - Outstanding! So glad we made the trip, some distance to cover, but the people, scenery, wildlife and many interesting accommodations on the way have us definitely hoping we can come back again in the future.
Amazing experience
The tour was very well organized and everything went smoothly, since the pickup in Nairobi to the safaris and the camp. The company was very responsive and attentive at the time of the booking and our driver/guide Kish is an awesome person. Very knowledgeable, knows the culture, the animals and the park. There’s was no question he couldn’t answer. Very immersive experience!

Wonderful & Reliable Safari Trip with Professional Service
Our safari with Pavillion Safaris was absolutely amazing. Our guide Benson was incredibly responsible, attentive and passionate about wildlife. With his rich experience and skilled animal tracking, we spotted a huge variety of wild animals smoothly, including the Big Five.
The whole trip arrangement was reliable and smooth. The only slight drawback was the accommodation condition of some tents and lodges. Overall, we had an unforgettable journey and would recommend this tour operator wholeheartedly.

Knowledgeable and friendly
A wonderful two‑day safari with The Real Shangololo in Amboseli National Park. We were exceptionally well taken care of throughout the trip. Our guide, Willy, drove safely along the very busy Mombasa Road and impressed us with his deep knowledge of the region, the wildlife, and the park’s ecosystem.
We stayed in a comfortable cabin where meals were served promptly and were absolutely delicious. Willy made sure we reached the perfect viewpoint to see Mount Kilimanjaro at sunrise, a breathtaking moment we’ll never forget.
During the game drives, we enjoyed close encounters with elephants, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, and antelopes — truly spectacular sightings. This safari was memorable in every way and an experience we will cherish for a lifetime.
