Great team. Excellent guide. Good communication from start to finish.
The BE team are very capable and professional. Our guide (Stephen) was excellent throughout - navigating some difficult terrain and always doing his best on game drives to find the animals we wanted to see. The guys are all good communicators (using WhatsApp makes things easy to manage if you can). We would recommend this company without hesitation.

Fantastic safari experience
I had booked a 3D/2N safari with Safari With Us which was a fantastic experience from the intial contact to my stay in Kruger NP. Andre was very responsive and helpful and patiently answered all my questions. The tour itself was very well organized, great accommodations and very fun and enthusiastic guides and staff. I can highly recommend booking via Safari With Us and hope to be back myself soon!

Perfectly organized luxury mobile safari in Okavango with the best people
Rose Hipwood did an excellent job organizing a true life experience in Okavango.
We enjoyed the services of James (from Barclay Stenner) who is a most knowledgable and passionnate guide. He made sure, together with his team, that we had an amazing time in the untouched wilderness, far away from any other human beings. 7 days of mobile safari is probably the best way to enjoy the savannah and the wild animals in an adventurous spirit. However, the camp, the food and other services were absolutey luxurious given the remoteness of our location.
The last 2 days in a top end lodge (Zarafa) concluded our wonderful trip with a touch of super-luxury, but still in a very remote place with beautiful nature all around.
All people showed up when they were supposed to and all of them were very good at what they were doing.
I can only recommend the services of Rose.

I would book again with E-Trip Africa
E-Trip Africa created our itinerary for 8-days of safari in Kenya and I believe it was perfect. After the trip I felt like one in a life time experience. I think everyone should do a safari at leas once. Our guide Simon was great. He was very knowledgeable, kind, and easy going. E-trip was very responsive while we were booking over the internet. They were able to answer all our questions before the booking, during, and after us booking the safari.
My friend and I are already thinking of another safari in other parts of Africa and we will definitely reach out to E-Trips.

Many National parks in few days, but a lot of transport time on the road. Remember snacks and water.
Bought a 6 day safari trip. Nice service to be picked up at our hotel before meeting up with the rest of the group. We were 5 in all. Even that we started early morning 0630 AM, we took almost a hole day to get to Maasai Mara park, due to heavy trafik and bad roads. 1 stop for lunch, and rest of the day driving. We had a short game drive just before sunset, and back to camp for dinner. Nice camp with good tents and service. Day 2: all day game drive where we saw all big 5, and a cheetah and a lot of other animals. Our guide, Stanley, could tell a lot about them all. Our car broke down. The starter didn't work, so we had to park down hill or relay om a push from others guides. Your are not allowed to leave the car outside camp areas in the park! Day 3, early morning game drive before going to Nakuru park. Half way 3 from the group went to Nairobi, and we,2, went on with Stanley as our private driver for the last 3 days. Day 3, was a long day on the road, with an ekstra stop at Lake Naivasha for a boat trip among Hippos and eagles. Arrived late at hotel for dinner and a sleep. Sadly somebody had a party, so not that much sleep that night. Next morning Stanley took us to Lake Nakuru, where we were lucky to see a black Rhino, and 3 wide Rhino up close. Then off to Lake Amboseli via Nairobi. Arrived late, because the last 30 km of road was under construction. Very nice camp with really good tents, good look to the mountain. Nice owner and staff. Lucky to be at the foot og Mount Kilimanjaro in full moon and with the biggest snow cap in years. Next day good fotos of Kilimanjaro and a hole day of game drive. A lot of animals, including the famous Amboseli elephants with tusks over 2 meters! Stanley was very good to spot animals and tell about the park. Last day, started early, and lucky because we found a mother Cheetah with 4 cups right close to the road. The cups ran under the car more times and the mother were calm about it. Then off for Nairobi, and home by plane.
In all a good trip, but you only get 1 bottle of water a day, so bring your own and some snacks for the road. Lunch isn't the best. Sadly we had to go the hole trip in a car with an defekt starter engine, and had to push it to start too. That is why the last star is missing.
Stanley is a good driver and guide, and know his way around all the parks we visited.

Using local Zimbabwean guides clearly gave us the best possible experience.
We hired DK Tours & Safaris to arrange a two-week trip throughout Zimbabwe. We started in Harare, went to Mana Pools National Park, Great Zimbabwe, Matobo Hills National Park, Hwange National Park, and Victoria Falls. Webster Musaidzi arranged the whole thing, including all the hotels, safaris, and transfers.
Everything went very smoothly. Webster and Brighton drove us through much of the country and were excellent guides and great people to travel with. They were gracious in adding in additional stops for things were were interested in, including a visit to a village.
The only problem we had was at the Meikles Hotel in Harare, where we had a wallet stolen from our room and were drastically overcharged. DK Tours & Safaris were not responsible for this and presumably will not use the hotel in the future.
One of the nicest things about the trip was that we worked with Webster to plan our OWN itinerary, focused on what we wanted to do and when. Webster was super knowledgeable and accommodating. It was also good to know that our money was staying in Zimbabwe and benefiting the local economy.
If you are planning to go to Zimbabwe, Botswana, or Zambia, I would heartily encourage you to choose DK Tours & Safaris to arrange your trip and execute it for you.

Incredible
We booked a 13 night stay in South Africa and Mauritius and it could not have gone better! Beena gave great recommendations for lodging and activities and was very detail oriented. The app was always up to date and very clear with instructions and the itinerary. Tours/transports were always on time and friendly. It was our honeymoon and each hotel had a handwritten note from Beena and a bottle of champagne waiting for us. First class service through and through! Would recommend Beena and Ubon to anyone.

Danson is a really good guide, driver, he knows how to enjoy/discover Kenya during a safari tour!
We went to Kenya as a family. We wanted to mark the occasion for our parents' birthday. Success ! Incredible memory!
The guide Danson immediately put us in the mood with his knowledge, his knowledge of animals, plants, people and the country... It was our dream to go on a safari and to live it with Danson was unforgettable.
All the places we went were great discoveries (especially the lion taking a nap). Danson knew all the places to see all the animals in the national parks/reserves/lakes.
We went to: Treetops, Nakuru Lake/National Park, The Great Rift Valley, The Masai Mara National Reserve, The Naivasca Lake and Nairobi (Out of Africa) . All the places were awesome!
Thank you Danson for this really nice and unforgettable trip!

Amazing organised tour
We made an spontaneous booking the same week as the tour and got all the help we needed. We were very impressed by the organisation, easy contact and great services! We booked four day safari and enjoyed it a lot. Very thankful for the services, we arrived late at the airport and was picked up and driven to a hotel to sleep the first night before the Safari. Everything was very well organised! We hope to be able to came back one day

Lovely Trip
We have come back to Oslo from what can only be described as the best glamping safari experience of our lives.
It was a great adventure to spend the days with Basili our host and guide and and then retire in very luxurious camps with everything that one would want in a safari; good food, comfortable rooms and amazing locations.
I have nothing to complain about because the whole safari went very well, just as planned in the itinerary.
Thank you Basili for the great Tanzania safari
