An amazing unforgettable experience
We booked a Safari with Dav Safaris at the beginning of March to Murchison falls.
Everything was amazing and super well planned.
Our guide name was Joyous, he was super attentive and professional.
He picked us up as planned from the hotel very far up north, we had a long drive to the park, including a ferry crossing, restaurants for meals were great and he was very very attentive to our diet restrictions.
We has the most amazing 3 days safari, Joyous spotted a lot of animals including some very hard to spot (like lions and leopards).
We had an amazing boat tour on the Nile, and a great tour to the rhino sanctuary.
The lodge they arranged for us was nothing but absolutely amazing. Although not in the park itself, its very recommended.
If ever back in Uganda, we would definitely booked with them (And definitely ask for Joyous).
The only thing I would change is instead of going to the Rhino reserve, going to the Chimp trail in the park (That was what Dav Safaris offered us from the beginning and I was the one to change it, eventually, even though I loved seeing the rhinos, they were right). So if you book with them, listen to them. :-)

Good but room for improvement
Overall pleased with our booking, but we experienced some minor conveniences.
For our first sunset drive, we got picked up about 1 hour late. And also, some of us chose to do the optional sunrise game drive the last day, which according to the program were supposed to be in Kruger. Instead we went to the same reserve as we visited the first night, which was a bit disappointing.
All our guides were attentive and listened to our preferences. Our Kruger guide, Lambs, made an extra effort for us to get to see the lions. We would highly recommend him.
The timbavati safari lodge was authentic , and we enjoyed our stay there. The food was good and the staff were friendly and very helpful.

It was a perfect trip I will never forget !
Everything was perfectly planned. We could completely rely on the organization, especially on Michael. He helped us with every issue we had & tried to fix it as soon as possible.
The safari was an amazing memory we will never forget !

The tour operator brings us a vibrant life and scenery of Kenya in an efficient way.
Explorers Wild Adventures is such a good travel agency and George is such a good tour guide. Together they bring a marvelous animal watching trip of Kenya to us.
Explorers Wild Adventures first replied to our request and designed the trip exactly as what we need. The overall experience is beyond our expectations. They have a good taste in terms of hotel options. They responded quickly when emergency appears. They assigned Mr George as our tour guide. Mr George is very experienced and responsible. He drove skillfully under complex road conditions like in National Parks. He knew where to see the must-see animals and shared his knowledge about different animals. His trip was very efficient that he could drive less hours than those young drivers but brought us to more amazing animal-watching experience and also all of us could spend more time to rest and to enjoy the beautiful view from the hotels. We highly recommended Mr George to be your tour guide.

Thanks for an unforgettable experience!!
Jadore Safaris is a small-scale company that offers tailor-made safaris through very personal service.
During the preparation, the customer can pass on wishes in detail.
The communication about this via e-mail is very fast and direct.
It is also possible to have a complete tailor-made program made after giving a period, a budget and general wishes (as I did).
From the moment you walk out of the airport to the moment you walk back into the airport, everything is arranged for you.
The lodges and hotels have been carefully selected and are of a surprisingly luxurious level.
The whole stay goes smoothly.
The safari itself was perfect with an all-terrain vehicle equipped for the job and an extremely professional driver/guide.
In my case, this was Livingstone (who was of course chosen by Jadore), as friendly as he is skilled in driving and knowledgeable about the flora and fauna.
When you see the quote for a safari for the first time you may be a bit shocked, but when you are there you immediately understand why this is.
My safari was well worth every Euro.
I can only be positive.
The whole trip has far exceeded my expectations.
This is due to the meticulous preparation of Jadore Safaris and the fantastic driver/guide Livingstone.
I'm going to save up to go again 😉
Thanks for an unforgettable experience!!

Well planned safari with good team and accommodations
Starting from booking, trip and accommodation, everything is smooth sailing. We are family of 3 with 10yo boy traveling with us.
When we booked the 6 days safari, we were assisted by Alex, and he is very responsive and accommodative. We were picked up at the airport and dropped off there as well as requested.
Moses, our guide is very professional. The ride to all sites were punctual, and when we have extra time, he offered us to visit additional site that is available along our trip between places. He also has a very good eye for spotting animals, and goes the extra length to ensure we can get as close as it's safely possible. Our jeep got binoculars available, but in limited number, so I suggest you bring your own. Moses also brings with him a portable wifi, connectivity has never been an issue for us!
We stayed for 2 nights in a tented accommodation in Masai Mara (Lenchada camp), 1 night in a hotel in Nakuru (Hillcourt hotel), and another 2 nights in tented accommodation in Amboseli (Manjaro Tented Camp). The tents are way better beyond my expectations, with comfortable bed, hot water available, working electricity and satisfying food & beverages. The tents are also situated near the park, so you get to see wild animals nearby as well (which is a major plus! We don't feel like we're in danger at all).
The trip is very enriching, with the amount of animals that you can see. If you spend a couple extra thousands of Kenya Shillings, you get to visit and interact with the local Masai tribe in Masai Mara, and take a guided walk around the camp in Amboseli and observe animals in the wild up close (elephants, zebras, giraffes etc.)
Definitely recommending this tour package to my friends!

Well organized.
Overall, a very positive experience.
Let me break it down as follows:
1. Booking
The operator is very responsive and helpful in creating. Alex helped created our itinerary through a simple and quick process, after confirming our expectations.
There are several payment options that you could choose. You’re free to discuss your preferred option with the operator.
Pickup from the airport is very reliable and on time.
2. Itinerary
6 days 5 nights
- Masai Mara: Game drive & visit to Masai village (optional)
- Nakuru Lake: Game drive
- Naivasha (optional): Boat ride and walking safari
- Amboseli: Game drive and tracking (optional - offered by the camp).
3. Accommodation
Masai Mara - Lenchada tented camp: The camp’s clean and the food’s great. You need to strategize on devices charging as the camp’s not electrified 24/7. Baboons in camp’s vicinity provided additional entertainment.
Nakuru - Hill Court Hotel: hotel in town. Clean bed and hot water. 24/7 electricity.
Amboseli- Manjaro Tented Camp: Best location, scenic view to Kilimanjaro. Tent is very comfortable (almost felt like hotel room). Camp is 24/7 electrified. Staffs are very friendly, with in camp ranger that could take you tracking (very recommended as the camp’s vicinity is rich with animals).
4. Guide and vehicle
Moses is the best! He is very friendly, helpful and informative.
In game drives, he’s quick to spot animals and very knowledgeable. He also made sure that you get the best possible angle to see the animals.
Moses also helped us upgrading our experience and maximize the itinerary (Naivasha is an addition to our original itinerary).
The car is very reliable and specifically designed for safari. Everyone in the group able to sit comfortably (bear in mind, please don’t expect limo experience).
And if it is really important for you to
always update your insta story, Moses ensure you have access to WiFi.
Suggestion for travelers:
a. Make sure to strategize on gadget charging as electricity is not always 24/7.
b. Bring enough cash as all the optional experience requires cash payment. Additionally, extra beverages you take in the camp need to be paid in cash. Most places accepted USD, EUR and local currency.
