Fabulous tour company!
My husband and I have been self travellers/drivers to Africa many times .This trip had two firsts, visiting Uganda and going on a customised tour.
We booked a week gorilla ,chimpanzee trekking as well as visiting Murchison falls,Queen Elizabeth National Park and other activities with Dav's.
It was a wonderful week of travel ,showcasing all that makes Uganda such a beautiful country. My personal highlight was the gorilla trekking.Most amazing animal experience we have ever had. Personally, at age 72 my experience was enabled by the fantastic porters. Please employ them even if you feel you don't need the help.It is for most their sole income opportunity.
I found Dav's incredibly easy to communicate throughout the booking process..My booking contact was Reagan, who ensured all bookings and details were in place with relative ease and little fuss.
We had a Hi- ace van ( in top condition ) just for us! Luxury indeed.
We saw and did some amazing things over the week ,but what made it really special was our driver/guide Godwin.He was incredibly accomodating to our every need and ensured every element of the trip run smoothly. He had a great sense of humour and his knowledge of environment, way of life, history and the people was readily shared with us. Godwin ,we learnt so much from our time with you.
He always went that extra mile ( so to speak) for us . He really personalised the experiences for us not only with booked activities but with the accomodation and the staff. We shared many laughs at each and enjoyed the atmosphere of each place we stayed. Special mention to our stay on Itambira Island, what a magic serene place.
At the end of our week in Uganda we left with not only magic memories enabled by Dav safaris , but also a new special friendship with our Ugandan friend Godwin.
If going to Uganda I highly recommend using this company.

A team that turns ordinary journeys into extraordinary memories, with the perfect blend of local knowledge
As funny and cliché as it may sound, I've lived in Kenya but had never actually been on a proper safari. My youngest had been nagging me about it for a while, so I finally decided it was time to make it happen. And I'm so glad we did!
We booked through Nesh Tours & Safaris, and the whole experience turned out better than I expected.Our first stop was Lake Nakuru, where we stayed at Sopa Lodge, before heading to the Maasai Mara, where we stayed at Simba Lodge. Both places were lovely, and the game drives were something else. I honestly don't know why it took me this long to experience this side of Kenya!
A special shout-out to Joan, who put together a really good itinerary and got us a perfect quote that worked for us. She was patient and made the whole booking process easy. And then there was Brian, our driver, who was absolutely fantastic throughout the trip. Very knowledgeable, patient, and great company, especially with the little one asking a million questions!
What I appreciated most was how relaxed everything felt. We didn't have to worry about the logistics or figuring things out along the way. We just got to enjoy ourselves and make memories.
Kenya really is a beautiful country, and sometimes it takes being a tourist in your own country to appreciate just how much there is to see.
Would I recommend Nesh Tours? Absolutely. And judging by how much my youngest enjoyed himself, I have a feeling this won't be our last safari! ❤️

5* Tanzanian Safari Experience
Just finished a 4-day safari in Tanzania with SeeEndlessAdventures and I can comfortably say this was a trip of a lifetime. The package covered our first six days in the country before heading to Zanzibar, with all parts of the trip taken care of. From the moment we arrived and throughout we were greeted with hospitality and had service with a smile everywhere we went.
We had return airport transfers the first and last day, then four full days on safari, including Lake Manyara, two days in the Serengeti and finally the NgoroNgoro crater, with each providing a unique environment for game drives. Accommodation near/within the parks each night was basic, but generally clean and perfectly acceptable given the remote locations where you are effectively there just to sleep each night. All home cooked meals were delicious too! Our days were action packed with early starts and often long drives between destinations as I understand this is a tight schedule for everything we had planned, but this worked for us to make the most efficient use of time.
I dealt with Hatibu in the office who assisted with the booking process. There are a number of standard packages which can be customised depending on your preferences in order to get a final quote. All of this was done over WhatsApp and Hatibu was extremely responsive and helpful. Even after we booked, as first time safari goers we had lots of questions in the months leading up to the trip but Hatibu was always just a message away to ease any concerns and was also available during the trip to provide updates and check everything was going well.
The star of the show however was our guide Daudi. He was so friendly and made us feel safe and comfortable immediately. You spend all day with your guide so its so important to get along, but he was amazing throughout. As we got to know each other we spent breakfasts and dinners together and his story and background about Tanzania provided an important perspective. With nearly 10 years of experience working the national parks he was extremely knowledgeable on how to navigate the different areas and provide the best chance of seeing all the animals. As such we saw all the Big 5 multiple times alongside countless other species! There wasn't a single thing we missed thanks to Daudi. With each encounter he was able to provide amazing insight about the animals whilst still being incredibly patient allowing you to enjoy the peace of nature in the moment. He truly elevated our experience to the next level and we are so grateful for everything he did to make sure our safari was unforgettable. Hakuna matata my friend!
Overall I would highly recommend SeeEndlessAdventures for your safari - there are many companies offering similar deals but they went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time whilst still maintaining a reasonable price. Request Daudi if you can!

Great staff
We did a three-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro tour, and everything went really well. Our guide Eric was very knowledgeable, and our driver Domi was very professional. Thanks to Domi’s knowledge of the park, we managed to see all of the Big Five. The lodges where we stayed were very nice, and the food was also excellent. The price was fair compared to other options. Their response time to messages was good, though there are still a few small things they could improve to be perfect. But overall, everything was really good.

Stellar tour operator - wonderful experience!
Our three day safari visiting Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire Parks, as well as a cultural tour of Mto Wa Mbu, was the experience of a lifetime. Have you ever been face to face with an elephant? If you go on this safari, you will be!
Shaba, our driver, was a star. He knew so many facts about the region and the wildlife and plants, and seamlessly took care of everything. I also want to highlight Ali and Stefan, our guides for the Mto Wa Mbu cultural tour. They gave us a fascinating tour, telling us about local tribes and their traditional occupations. Finally, the staff at Fanaka Lodge was delightful, preparing delicious meals and making our stay relaxing.
Highly recommend!

Outstanding safari in Tanzania
From the first minute on, the communication to KLA and Khery (our direct sales contact) worked perfectly.
We received all information about the safari (5 days) and hotels in detail. We were absolutely satisfied and happy with the execution of the trip from beginning to end and enjoyed every second while being on the tour with our guide Julius. We absolutely recommend doing Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara. This combination was excellent and every park was unique on its own. We saw the Big Five! Also we would like to point out the high quality of accommodations and food during our safari. Last but not least, we would like to thank our guide Julius for the fantastic guidance he offered, including a lot of knowledge about animals, culture and the country. We surely come back! Thank you very much!

Perfect from start to finish
Our safari experience with RuRu Safaris was absolutely incredible, and I honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough!
When I started planning our trip, I specifically wanted to use a local Kenyan company rather than a large international operator. It was important to me that our money went directly to the people and businesses in Kenya, and I’m so glad we chose RuRu Safaris.
Having never organised anything like this before, I was initially a little nervous, but from my very first communication with Ruphina, I knew we were in good hands. She was knowledgeable, friendly, incredibly patient and always so quick to respond to my many questions! She made the whole process feel effortless, organising everything from start to finish, and I quickly reached the point where I trusted her completely.
And then there was the safari itself. Wow! We were incredibly lucky to see all of the Big Five, as well as a cheetah and a wonderful variety of other wildlife. It was everything we’d hoped for and so much more.
We spent two nights at Engai Wilderness Camp before moving on to Sopa Lodge at Lake Naivasha, where we enjoyed a boat safari and a visit to Crescent Island Wildlife Reserve. Every part of the trip was special, and everywhere we went we were met with warmth, kindness and genuine hospitality.
Our driver and guide, Mike, was absolutely wonderful. Calm, friendly, knowledgeable and an excellent driver. We felt completely safe and comfortable with him throughout, and his relaxed manner made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
What really stood out to me was how well we were looked after. From the initial planning with Ruphina to our time on safari with Mike, everything was so thoughtfully organised.
If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, please don’t overlook the smaller, locally owned companies. RuRu Safaris provided a truly exceptional experience, with a level of personal service that would be hard to beat.
A huge, heartfelt thank you to Ruphina and Mike, and to all the wonderful people we met along the way. Kenya is a beautiful country, made even more special by its incredibly warm and welcoming people.
We have come home with some amazing memories, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend RuRu Safaris to anyone.
