Great tour. Hassan, our driver was awesome
The tour itself was great. Our guide, Hassan, was very knowledgable and helpful. Everyone had a great experience. The only complaint, and this was not their fault, was the brutal traffic coming back. Be sure you are prepared for literally hours of traffic jam. Also, apparently some of the roads have changed since they put up their website so you should add an hour driving time to the day tours.
Overall I would highly recommend them, and Hassan specifically.

Selous Game Reserve
Great safari! Our guide and Samwel came to pick up and welcome us at the port station. They were very friendly and we fastly felt confortable!
They do the best to adapt the plan to our needs.

Great value & experience
Daigle helped me determine which itinerary would fit best in my schedule when I was clueless, and I felt it was well worth what we paid, especially compared to some of the other quotes we got. Everything was taken care of for us - transportation, meals, lodging, game park fees, etc. Our driver was fantastic, knowledgeable and a pleasure to ride around with. We loved the game drives, but also the commutes to other parks and areas where we got to see many villages and a lot of countryside. Great experience!

Memorable Family Vacation in Selous and Zanzibar.
Our tour organizer, Samwel, did a good job explaining the options and making changes to the itinerary to suit our needs. The price was affordable and fair, and the tour company did everything they said they would do, such as airport pick up, transfers, etc. We also really enjoyed our experience with our driver / safari guide (Charles) who took very good care of us. They also speak good English, so communication was generally not a problem. Visiting Selous was great, we spent 1/2 day on the river (hippos, crocs, birds) and 2 full days in the reserve (giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, lions, elephant, hippos, crocs, impala, baboons, hyena, water buffalo, etc) and really enjoyed this experience. I would recommend this tour company and would use them again. If I had to replan the trip, I would likely pay a bit more for better accommodations. The Kinga Lodge in Selous was great the people were great (no air conditioning though!). The other accommodations I would have been happy to pay a bit more for something a bit nicer. Lots of great family memories here and thank you for Daigle!

fantastic trip, well organised with very knowledgeable safari guide
the trip was great. we were met by our guide at the airport and driven to Selous park. The lodge was fantastic, simple but beautiful with a fantastic chef who cooked wonderful meals (including picnics each day). We saw most of the big animals and had some great game days. The village tour was disappointing - particularly because of our somewhat limited guide. We travelled to Zanzibar by boat which was quite an experience. Hotel on the island lovely with great pool and rooms but food was disappointing. Spice and stone tours great with excellent guide. All in all a very well organised trip with Daigle tours who I would definitely recommend.

Professional, well organised with great drivers
From the moment we were picked up from our hotel until the very end of the safari, we were all very impressed with the high standards we experienced on our trip. The jeeps used by the company were spacious and in very good shape and also seemed secure when compared with other companies' jeeps with open sides, especially when getting close to the lions! There was lots of driving involved but at all times our drivers kept us informed as to the plans and also had a lot of very interesting local knowledge that they shared with us during the trip. The accommodation was great, huge military style tents with our own toilets and showers, plus the food at the butembo lodge laid on by Bobby was very welcome after a long day in the cars. All in all this company removed any stress we had about the trip so that we could relax and enjoy ourselves, I would consider it very good value for money and would definitely go with them again. Special mention must go to our driver Capande who made every attempt to fulfil our requests when we said we wanted to see elephants or lions etc. and was a lot of fun on the long car journeys!

Unforgettable experience
In a group of 10 we went for a 4 days safari to the Selous game reserve. A large group like this is hard to manage, but our guides were very punctual, accommodating and very well informed. They answered all the questions about the animals and made sure we got really close to them to have an amazing experience. Big shout-out to Kapande and Charles!! Kilililili!!!

Nice driver Kpande and proper safari vehicle, much better than 4x4
The experience was really nice, a bit expensive but all tour companies in Tanzania are expensive. There was no way to pay online or by card, had to be cash and we spent time in the morning driving around to get cash from the bank machine, not something you want to do at 4am in the dark in Tanzania! I recommend bringing enough dollars to pay for the trip. They need to update to online payment as not many people carry large amounts of cash for obvious safety reasons. Big disadvantage. Other than that a great company and trip! Our driver and guide Kpande was very informative and friendly. We did a day trip and it was a lot of travel but well worth the time. 4am-9:30pm. The safari truck is very nice with pop up roof, lots of legroom, refrigerator, and sockets for charging electronics etc. I would recommend bringing CDs to play as my phone did not connect to the bluetooth in the truck and there was only one CD on repeat, we listened to Maroon 5, moves like Jagger about 20 times before we asked to turn it off!haha make sure to bring a camera that can take video and panoramics, superb views! Breakfast was ok but lunch was really nice looking out on the savanna while eating! Some improvements to be made to payments and music but overall worth the trip in a authentic safari truck! :D

Our amazing Tanzania experience
This for both of us was our first safari experience, and it definitely was most amazing trip we have had. Since we had 3 weeks of holidays we could visit many parks and as cherry on top of cake was couple of days in wonderful beaches of Zanzibar before going back to daily routine. We have been very lucky that our tour company was Daigle Tours - starting from very comfy car up to very high level customer care. Professional guides assured that we saw big 5, plus many other animals and birds. We also visited couple of local tribes, and saw some of their daily life. Moreover they helped to Jimmy organize breathtaking surprise for me - balloon safari over Serengeti. For anyone up for adventures and lifetime experience we recommend to contact Daigle Tours, you will enjoy every moment of your trip!
