Very informed and amusing character with an immense knowledge of wild life.
Firstly, David has a great sense of fun - you will enjoy much laughter, and you will hear hyenas laughing too! You will see beauty in every direction; from kingfishers on the river banks, to lion families lazing on the rocks.

David knows the terrain, he knows the natural habitat of every animal. David can identify from the tracks, which animals had been passing by earlier. His eyes are always searching for signs of movement in the bush or the trees. David will tell you which seasons are best to see certain animals, which safari books to recommend. You will enjoy the beauty of kingfishers making their nests on the river banks, baby elephants out walking with their mothers, lions lying under the ledges of the cliffs, at rest (for the moment...), and he is skilled at slowing the Land Rover down, keeping it quiet, so that you can hear all the sounds of life around you.

Really well-organised, responsive, friendly and helpful operator
We booked an 8-day tour with Divulge Adventures - climbing Mount Kenya, then visiting Ol Pejeta, Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara. It was an incredible experience and very well organised. We contacted a few operators for the holiday and Divulge Adventures were by far the most responsive. They tried to get to know us, offered a lot of help and were very well-organised. For the hiking part, we provided with a good amount of equipment and the team who came with us on the ground were absolutely fantastic. For the safari part, our guide really tried to allow us to have a good time which is much appreciated. Overall, all of the different parts of the tour were well connected and the communication was great. I would really recommend this operator.

Fun, interesting info given, saw SoOo many animals!
Our driver from hotel to Pilanesberg was great; he drove safely, was courteous and informative. When we arrived at the Park, our driver was T. He made sure we had good views of all the animals, he let people in private vehicles know where the lions and cheetahs were, he pulled out his phone to give us information on birds we saw and made sure that we all had a great time!!

Wildlife Safaris provided us with an exceptional safari experience.
When I first contacted Wildlife Safaris, I was unsure what type of experience would be suitable for our liking. Jonathan was very helpful in responding to my endless questions and helped to narrow down the best options for my wife and I for a Kruger National Park safari. The end result was an exceptional safari experience. Nick Snyman was our personal guide and driver for our five day safari. He provided excellent information and commentary without overwhelming us with too much detail. He is a very knowledgeable guide and has a keen eye to spot wildlife. Nick is a very personable guide with whom we enjoyed spending our five days. He was very good at looking after us and making sure our needs were addressed. We spent a night at Sabie River Lodge which was quite nice and comfortable. Then spent a night inside the park at Skukuza lodge. Though a bit rustic and dated, the hut was clean and adequate. We ended our safari by spending two nights at Mohlabetsi private lodge which sits within Balule private game reserve. Mohlabetsi is an outstanding boutique accommodation with large well appointed huts and attached outdoor private shower. The staff our outstanding and the grounds are beautiful. Meals are served in different settings including an outdoor dinner around an open fire. The food was very good at Mohlabetsi though not outstanding. We were fortunate to see the Big Five as well as numerous other wildlife, often up close. The open-air safari vehicles provided a nice safari viewing experience.
I highly recommend Wildlife Safaris and would love to use their services again.

A once in a lifetime adventure
A great tour at a great price. Food and accommodation were exquisite and the guide was relentless in getting us close to the big five. Highly recommend.

Incredible experience, had the best time!
We had the best time with Tanzania Wildheart Adventures. They were very responsive, punctual and offered flexibility. We were really happy with our guide Harry, he knew exactly where to find the animals, did an amazing job getting us around, he knew the parks by heart, we saw 3 leopards and rinos!
We saw that many people that went with other companies paid double than what we paid with Tanzania Wildheart Adventures, so we knew we got a good deal with them and will recommend to everyone!

Seven Day Safari
We did the seven day safari between Masai Mara/Nakaru/Naivasha/Amboseli and had an amazing time.
There was a slight delay in the airport transfer although this was very early in the morning and not too long. There was also a 5% fee for paying by card when we arrived which wasn't communicated beforehand (even though we had used the same payment method for the deposit with no fee!)
Once the safari was underway everything was great, particularly our driver Alex who was friendly and knowledgeable in spotting and telling us about the animals and also helpful in stopping at cash points/safaricom shop and anything else we needed when travelling.

Amazing adventure up Mount Kenya
My friend and I had an amazing time spending 4 days hiking up and down to the summit of Mt Kenya.
Patricks’ organisation included a 3 hour transfer from Nairobi through the stunning Kenyan countryside.
Once at Mt Kenya, our guide Charles and his team of porters made every effort to make us comfortable during the hike, carrying all our bags, providing some very tasty meals 3 times a day (which impressive considering they have to carry everything on their backs), sharing their local knowledge about the mountain, and answering all our weird specific questions about plants, birds, rocks, and glaciers!
The first day consisted of the transfer and walking from the hike to Moses cabin (3000m) where we had rented some seriously thick sleeping bags for the night. Along the way you might see Zebra, Baboons, and Waterbuck.
On day 2 you hike 6 hours through some beautiful valleys up to Shipton cabin (4000m) surrounded by amazing landscapes, plants, and wildlife. Once at Shipton it gets quite cold so remember to pack multiple thermals, thick socks and jackets.
On the 3rd day, we woke up at 3am to ascend to the summit (4800m), this was a tough ascent on scree and snow but well worth the feeling of standing in an other worldly environment seeing the sunrise. Charles and the other guides always put our safety first, cutting a path through the frozen snow for us on the way back down. We decided to get some extra sleep outside on a rock surrounded by the mountains and were treated to a picnic breakfast in our sleep bags by the team which was a unique surprise!
The you to walk then back through the valleys to Moses camp in preparation to hiking down to the gate and the transfer back to Nairobi on the 4th day.
Thanks to Patrick, Charles, and the team for organising and taking us on an amazing adventure that we will remember for the rest of our lives!

Excellent tour guide
First time on a Safari, we saw the big 5 on the first day. The guide was extremely knowledgeable & very friendly. Truck was equipped with bottles of drinking water, blankets & ponchos.
