Great safari company for a budget safari. I went on a five day Masai Mara, lake Nakuru, lake naivasha safari. The experience was very good because of our driver Stanley. The company is very caring about ones wishes and preferences. Overall, it was a great experience!

Shooting Dutch tv show on lake vic/the nile/murchison falls
I have worked together with Encounter Africa Safaris on a Dutch TV production. EAF made all the arrangements like media cards, accommodation, transportation, permits etc. They are reliable and fun to work with. As tv productions most of the time turn out to be a bit hectic, and especially a specific "outdoor/rafting" kind of show like we did, i must say they did very well. Even last minute chances and request were no problem.
I would recommend them as a local fixer/production partner.

Very efficient.
We have booked with damma tours on numerous occassions,and find the service great.
David and his office staff are very polite and friendly.
All aspects of our safaris have ran smoothly and problem free.
Our driver/guide has always been courteous and patient. I always ask for puis. He is an excellent safe driver.
We always go to davids office to meet him and book once we are in diani.
David will always negotiate a very good price for you.
Our last safari was to Masai masa. Flight..2nts governors. Around £600 pp.which is half you would pay if
Booked in the uk.
David will go out of his way to get you exactly what you want.
So please don't believe the negative comments,try for yourself.
We have been staying at papillon lagoon reef hotel every year 17 years sometimes twice yearly.
And always go to David. He does employ some people on the beach,but if your not comfortable with them,go to his office,he will even send a free taxi to fetch you from your hotel and back.
Can't wait to return again this year.

Worth it!
Maurice was very reactive to emails, and could arrange for one of our friends who missed his flight.
The tour was as promised except a switch in the order of the activities.
Very good experience safari
The company has been professional, organizing a good tour on my requests and trying to satisfy my family requests, travelling with kids. Service has been good.

Fantastic safari trip in safe hands
Dear all
Firstly I would like to say thank you for a well organised and valuable trip. To improve the experience, I would recommend clearer communications about the tour. I booked through Kruger.com, but did not ever receive notice that I would stay an d travel at Tydon safaris.
The other suggestion I have is regarding food. It was very heavy and rich. Also because we went for long wonderful drives in the early morning, we often returned to cold breakfast. The coffee was awful.
Other than that, the hosts were lovely, the guides amazing, and the unseen domestic staff did a wonderful jog.
