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

Daigle tours is recommendable
I had a three day tour with Daigle Tours to Mikumi and Udzungwa national parks in January 2017, and I enjoyed the tour very much. From the beginning, Samwel of Daigle Tours always responded to my inquiry email promptly, and my tour guide Kapande (don't mind if incorrect spelling) took good care of me. Thank you Daigle Tours

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.

Good job Daigle!
Our guide and driver were both very nice and competent. It was so nice to have a private tour rather than a big bus tour. Our guide was especially helpful in helping us bargain for our craft purchases--we would have been lost without him.

Always in our memories
The safari experience that my wife and I did with Daigle Tours will always be in our memories. The special touch was the guides who were always attentive and friendly with us. Being in Tanzania again, I would look for Daigle Tours to repeat the adventure.

Amazing
Everything went incredibly smooth, from our first contact with Germano who kindly provided us with all information we needed for our 2 daysxsafari to Nyerere. We were picked up at our hotel in Zanzibar for transfer to the airport. The flight was less than an hour and when we landed, the first thing we saw through the window were giraffes. Ee were transfered to the lovely Nyerere Tented Camp for breakfast and eere then picked up by our ranger mr Rama. We absolutely loved mr Rama. He is knowledgeble, charismatic and have a great sense of humour. During our 9 hour drive he really went out of his way for us to see as many animals as possible, and boy did we see animals!! When coming back to the camp we had an absolutly amazing dinner. Sleeping at the tented camp was an incredible experience! The next day we went for a bush walk with our super cool guide Didi which was also very entertaining and interesting, and after that we went for a boat safari with the lovely guide Ahmed were we saw all kinds of birds, lizards, crocs and came really close to several hippo families, which was exciting. Back for lunch at the tented camp, time for som relaxation and then we were driven back to the airstrip were we took the flight back to Zanzibar. Tranfer from Zanzibar airport back to our hotel was also provided by Daigle Tours. I would highly recommend Daigle Tours, everything is so well organized, all staff are the nicest persons you'll ever come across, it is an experience of a life time.

Amazing experience! Really passionate team, awesome luxurious location in the wild.
The experience that Nyerere tented camp offered was magical! After a whole day of game drive with a really experienced and passionate ranger, Rama, we stayed in the most beautiful, luxurious and relaxed tent whilst you'll hear the wildlife around you. The next day, we did a bush walk which was amazing. We were able to see loads of smaller animals upclose and guided by Didi the bushman. Nyerere National park really offers a unique experience. You'll have the feeling of being alone whilst being surrounded by elephants, giraffes, hyenas, zebras, hippos and many more!
This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and I would highly recommend these guys!
