Well crafted safari
We really had a great experience in Kenya with Lewis and Jeremy who was our guide throughout the 13 days, also our hotels and vehicles were chosen carefully. We really appreciate and will be back again as a bigger family.

The best Safari company you will find!
We did the four day golden monkey and gorilla trekking experience with Davs Safari and I am so so happy that we chose them as a safari company. We had the best time. Our driver and guide was Richard and he was such an incredible person. I don’t know how he managed to do such long and times very difficult drives. My friend and I felt so safe with him driving and generally being in his care. Richard was a very kind, cool and lovely guy. He was excellent company and really took care of us. Obviously the trekking and the sights were out of this world! They were breathtaking and they are memories I will cherish for the rest of my life. The hotels that we stayed in and the food that was included were really amazing and there isn’t one thing I could complain about. If you are considering a trip and looking for a reputable company that will take care of you, even if you’re a solo traveller or two girls like us or more, do not hesitate to book with Davs. I promise you won’t regret it!

Leslie was absolutely perfect.
Choice Safari came highly recommended, even with big expectations our Safari was turned out to be better than we had hoped. Our tour guide Leslie, was absolutely perfect, allowing the experience to unfold organically while ensuring that we stayed on schedule and out of harms way. Truly a trip of a lifetime!

You can find better.
We (a couple) booked a 5-days safari tour with Beasts Africa to begin last September.
We really enjoyed our experience: we got to see so much, our guides were so knowledgeable and made us feel safe and looked after. Our accommodations were nice, clean and hospitable. The transfers between each stop were long, but overall the rides were comfortable. We feel like we had the experience we were looking for and more.
However, there were also a number of issues:
- Our airport pickup was over an hour late. After a very long flight and without much internet connection, we had to phone the tour operator over and over: it took so long to get through and even longer to finally be picked up. No apology was offered for this massive inconvenience, nor explanation.
- Changes were made to our pre-agreed itinerary without our knowledge/approval, and only communicated to us few minutes before departure, without giving us the chance to amend or discuss.
- In regards to two different excursions (Masai village visit and boat trip), we specifically asked if there was going to be a surcharge, and we were told there would be none. However, both of these turned out to be at an extra cost once we got there.
- We had to insist to had a physical invoice given out to us, and the one we obtained had a different company's letterhead -an alleged "sister company".
- Included in the agreed fee, was a supply of bottled water for the duration of the tour. However, we for the first 2.5 days we were not provided this and our driver/guide stated that he had not been informed and he was not equipped to provide it. We had to therefore buy water at our own expense.
- We were not told that we would not travel with the same group and guide, but switch party depending on who was headed where next. We ended up switching twice and only finding out about the changes only a couple of hours beforehand. The second time we were assigned to the wrong group and ended up going in the wrong direction, which resulted more than 3h lost on our itinerary. Once again, we received no apology, in fact we were never even contacted to ensure the issue had been resolved.
All of the issues we experienced ultimately relate to how the tour was managed: the lack of communication, transparency and organisation. Even though we had a great trip, the merit goes to the guides and hospitality structures -both of which are not affiliated exclusively with this tour operator specifically.
Upon our return, we reached out to Beasts Africa to feedback all of the above: we were given contradictory justification for some points and dismissal for others, but no admission of responsibility nor apology.
Our advice is to definitely book a safari tour of Kenya, but with a different company.

A Spectacular Tanzanian Safari Adventure for Two
Going on a Tanzania safari was a mesmerizing adventure for our party of two. From the vast Serengeti plains to the majestic Ngorongoro Crater, every moment felt like a scene from a wildlife documentary. Our expert guide ensured an immersive experience, spotting the Big Five and narrating captivating tales of the animal kingdom. The luxurious lodges provided a perfect blend of comfort and nature, offering breathtaking views and indulgent amenities. Witnessing the Great Migration was a highlight, making this safari an unforgettable journey into the heart of Africa's untamed beauty."

The Extra Mile adventure safari was an informative and fantastic experience. The staff were supportive and enthusiastic about what they do. The safari was well worth the money and I would recommend this to anyone.
