The best operator in Kruger.
Excellent team Alex and Dominic. I think Dominic is the king of guides in the safari. Had wonderful experience. Had great trip right from joberg to Kruger and then at Kruger safari and dropped to sun City. Recommend anyone planning their visit hire them.

Great safari experience!
We had a great experience with Eric, Emmanuel and the entire Msangai crew. They were able to book us on a 5 day trip with less than 24 hours notice and everything was better than expected. The accommodations, the food, and of course the wild life viewing. Cant recommend these guys enough!

Exceptional
I don't have any words to express how grateful I am to Andre, and her staff for coordinating such an amazing trip to Kenya. Everything was so well planned and coordinated from beginning to end, and my entire family had a terrific experience. The hotel's management, staff, and ambiance were all excellent. We did not experience any difficulty in getting vegetarian food.
Special thanks to you for choosing Joseph as our tour guide for our trip, he was so patient, so kind, and caring. He is very knowledgeable and could explain to us each and every animal and bird's habitat, lifespan, eating habits, etc. With his help, we could see all the big 5 of Kenya and I am thrilled to inform you that we were the only family to spot all the big 5 at Masai Mara, and most of the tourists were unlucky. Even some of the hotel staff at Mara informed us that though they had gone there several times they could not see the Rhino and on our very first visit we could see very close because of Joseph. He could spot the Rhino with his bear eyes from a distance of 2 kms and took us straight away to that spot. I would highly recommend Joseph to all your clients.
Also, I would like to express my special thanks to Moses who was also very nice and cooperative, and he could arrange tickets for my brother at Shedrick and the Giraffe Center and both of them were very punctual. I am looking forward to having them as my guides on my future trips.
This is not going to be my last conversation with them as I am planning many more trips to Africa with the Spirit of Kenya

Great Experience with Gelbert in Serengeti
I and my friends just came back from serengeti, and we are very grateful to our guide and driver Gelbert. He is a staff member of lionking travel company, and he provided us with seven days of quality service. Gelbert is a very knowledgeable and experienced guide, he can take us to see various animals, and explain to us their characteristics and habits. He can also accurately find the location and time of animal activity in the grassland without signs. Gelbert is also a very considerate and friendly person, he will arrange the itinerary according to our needs and preferences. He will stop the car when we want to take pictures, let us enjoy and record the beautiful scenery. He will also chat with us, joke with us, make us feel relaxed and happy. Gelbert is not only an excellent guide and driver, but also a person who loves nature and animals. He told us that he studied animals and environment, so he has a lot of feelings for serengeti, he hopes to protect this beautiful land and the creatures living on it. He also taught us how to respect nature and animals, not to disturb their life and environment.
I highly recommend Gelbert to anyone who wants to travel to serengeti, he will give you an unforgettable experience and memory. If you want to book Gelbert as your guide and driver, you can contact lionking travel company, they will help you arrange everything. Trust me, you won't regret choosing Gelbert as your guide in serengeti.

This has been the most informative experience as well as the most aesthetically pleasing. Paradise!
In the 70s I discovered the bush with John Dugmore, the legendary patriarch of this family of erudite specialists. In the year 2003, my family went out into the wild with Roger Dugmore, John’s son. And a few weeks ago, I was back for more nature-immersion with Justin Everingham, Roger’s nephew. I wonder how, even now that I am an old lady, I three human beings have left such an intense impression on me. Justin guided us through Paradise, generously offering us all-encompassing knowledge of the fauna and flora of Botswana. I believe that there can be no better way to experience such closeness to Nature than signing up for a tented safari with Roger Dugmore Safaris.

Well organized, flexible, and amazing value for money
We booked a 5 day private safari for 2 with Mark in Maun, and we were offered a great package. We had to make some last minute changes to our itinerary and Mark was extremely flexible and attentive to our needs. We were very happy to have been able to travel through Botswana’s amazing national parks with Kem, Simon and Slow - our safari team. Our guide Kem was amazing. He was well read and knowledgeable about the locations, the birds and animals. He was also excellent at tracking the animals safely. He was a great guide for birdwatching as well, and had books on hand to teach us about the animals and birds we were interested in. He was also excellent with conversation, and we learnt a lot from him. We encountered almost every big game animal one could expect to see in Botswana, in addition to a huge number of smaller fauna and interesting birds. Chef Simon was a great cook and the food throughout the trip was amazing. But additionally was excellent at spotting game and knowledgeable about the wildlife too.
We were completely at ease throughout the trip with the team’s expertise and confidence. Great service, great flexibility, reliable and excellent value for money. Would highly recommend this experience with Shipungo Safaris.

Friendly and Professional
I used DK Tours for all my Excursions in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana while staying in Zimbabwe.
The excursions included the below which I did in 4 days. All I had to do is tell Owen what I wanted to do and he arranged the transfers and excursions for me. He was more than willing to also communicate with me through WhatsApp to answer all my questions. He was very interactive. All my excursions went as planned and I fully enjoyed everything.
1. Zipline at falls
2. Morning Tram
3. Devils pool with lunch
4. Four course dinner cruise
5. Dinner at lookout cafe
6. Boma dinner and drum show
7. Victoria falls tour of both the zimbabwe and zambian side with livingstone museum
8. Chobe day tour with safari, river cruise and lunch
9. Helicopter flight over the falls 12-13min
The price quoted by DK Tours were also very reasonable, I'm an auditor so really did my homework on pricing. DK Tours were Top 3 in pricing out of 9 Quotes and by far the best reviews out of the three.
To get to Zambia from Zimbabwe you need to cross a bridge which I really wanted to walk on for some photo opportunities instead of driving over it. This was however not part of my tour but Owen was so accommodating by taking a walk with me for free to ensure im taken care off, he even carried my bag to enable me to easily take my photos.
The Zambian guide arranged by DK tours was also very friendly and professional. He offered to also carry my backpack during the Victoria Falls Tour so I can easily take photos. I had a whole minivan for myself the whole day. The Angels pool was also amazing.
I was escourted on all my excursions with a minivan which was quite comfortable.
Webster from DK Tours were my Tour guide on the Zimbabwe side of the Victoria Falls. He was professional, and has a lot of knowledge about the Victoria Falls. Webster was also very helpful by taking many of my photos at the falls, being a single traveler this was of great help.
Enoch drove me to some of my excursings, he was very friendly and a real pleasure to meet.
I must say I was treated very well by DK Tours, being a single traveller I really had nothing to worry about. Webster the owner even came to greet me on my last evening to say goodbye.
Thanks DK Tours

unforgettable experience
"I had high expectations for my safari, and it exceeded them all. The accommodations were luxurious, the food was delicious, and the wildlife sightings were incredible. I especially loved seeing the elephants up close. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will never forget."
