More than a Safari
Before we start our beach holiday on Sansibar we wanted to have a safari trip in Tanzania. We have visited many homepages with interesting Safaris. Daigle Tours quoted the best for us:
Start: Tanzania/Selous Safari => End: Sansibar Stone Town Tour
The organisation was very good. Manager Samwel replied every mail fast and trustful.
When we arrived at Dar es Salaam at 2:30 in the night we were picked up from our guide Kapande directly from the airport.
First day we were in Dar es Salaam in a good Hotel direclty at the coast. We had very good breakfast and dinner which was included in our booking like every following days.
On the second day we started our tour to Selous. During the trip we had the chance to see very much of african/tanzanian live. It was very interesting to watch people, behavior and land scapes while we drove to Selous.
In Selous we had a safari on the water where we saw exotic birds, crocodiles, hippos and very tall lizards. Due the low water-level in July we could enter a sandbank where we could observe a hippo family not far from us and an amazing sunset. This one was probably the best sunset we have ever seen.
To lie in the sand, which is actualy the ground of a big river, while watching hippos relaxing in their own territory, during the sun goes down.. Awesome..
Next day we had a full game reserve drive which was also an absolut highlight. We have seen elefants, giraff, zebras, garzelle, hyena, eagle and many many many more animals in wildness. Unfortunately we have not spotted lions but our guide has looked for known spots to get a look of rare animals. We have noted that he was interested to show us as much as possible. A good feeling for us. This is why we were lucky to spot elefants which became more rare from year to year in Selous. Our guide is a good one we think!
Next day we drove back to Dar es Salaam to take a ferry over to Sansibar. When we arrived we were picked up again from another guide who drove us to a wunderful hotel at the east coast of Sansibar. It was good for us to make the transfer over to Sansibar with an organized and trustful tour. Everything went alright.
The day after we made an interesting Stone Town Tour and a Spice Farm Tour. It was a good ending for our very exciting week. At the very end our guide even brought us to our hotel.
All in all we had an incredible week. We have seen so many things from african life and not only animals and a secure transfer to Sansibar what we thought when we booked this safari.
We had a really good time because it was just more than a safari for us.

Last Request Made Possible
I contacted Daigle tours with a late request as to whether a day out could be arranged for me. Samwel responded quickly with details on two options. Due to the late booking, some flexibility was needed on how I was to pay for the day and Samwel agreed to pick me up early and stop at ATMs to collect the payment in cash.
The day went really smoothly with hand over between different guides and using different modes of transport - something that I could not have arranged myself within the time frame I had.
Thoroughly enjoyed my day in Zanzibar and would recommend Daigle Tours to others. I hope to do norther circuit safari one day and would contact Daigle as my first contact to arrange this.

Reliable, Knowledgeable, safe company.
I highly recommend working with Daigle Tours. They were very easy to communicate with via e-mail prior to the tour and even in Tanzania they sent e-mails to confirm pick-ups. All transportation arrangements were on time and always had a sign with my name on it. The safari was such an amazing experience and our tour guide was a huge credit to this. He was very knowledgeable and informed us on the daily schedule. He did everything he could to try and find the animals my husband and I were eager to see. My only advise is to not do a day tour from DAR to Mikumi National Park. The drive can take more than 5 hours due to traffic and it is not safe and if we had chose this route it would of ruined our experience. Spend the extra money and stay a night in the beautiful wild!
on time - efficient - friendly
transfers only - met all requirements - friendly staff

The most breathtaking, lively experience I have ever had. We seen 'The Big Four' on the first day!
This trip was so amazing. The service at the accommodation was second to none. The owner of the camp treated us like family. They welcomed us with open arms. The accommodation was perfect with not a thing out of place. Very clean and very well designed. Super friendly staff who are willing to guide you back to your cabin/tent to make you feel safe. Waking up to an incredible view the next day was simply breathtaking. Not to mention, bacon & eggs for breakfast the following morning. Our tour guides on safari were so patient and waited until the animals got closer to us so we could all take our desired photos. I would give this safari tour more stars if it were possible. We seen 'The Big Four' on the very first day we arrived. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Certainly something to write home about. I am definitely going back to visit this place again in the near future.

Excellent Service
I travelled with Daigle tours to two Safaris in Tazania. Their service right from their response to the enquiry upto the final point where we had to board our flight back home was extremely good. Samwel who was our point of contact not only helped us with the arranging the travel but also helped us find a place to stay in Dar . The travel was well planned with a good tour guide and all the places where we stayed were also very comfortable and had good services. Overall I would highly recommend Daigle tours to anyone wanting to have a great safari experience in Tanzania.
