Gorilla trekking in the mountains
What an incredible trip that was!
From the moment we arrived in Congo David took care of everything we wanted until the trip was over.
With the organizers' concern and love, we were closer to nature than ever.
Highly recommend it to everyone !!!
Five stars for George, he was the perfect guide. Minus one star for Hell’s Gate bike ride.
George was our guide for the first four days, and he made them amazing days. He is not only a good guide, but a good person to spend many hours with. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals we found. He knew how to find the more elusive animals (leopard, cheetah) and often we were the first safari van to find one of these special animals, due to his understanding of their movements and habits. He was patient in waiting for good viewing angles and opportunities. And he answered all our (many, many) questions about the large animals, the small ones, the birds, the bugs, and the plants. He even explained larger topics like the Kenya’s history and culture.
His personality was a perfect fit for us. Calm and present. He was attentive to every question, but did not fill silence with meaningless chatter. He thought carefully about his answers to our questions, and clearly understood the science behind the natural world. We really appreciated the space he gave us to talk amongst ourselves, or just enjoy the sounds of nature.
For the final day, George left and Obama became our guide. He was friendly and full of jokes. We visited Hell’s Gate that day. The park is nice, with some dramatic geological features and populations of zebra, impala, giraffes, and buffalo. The negative was the bike rental. We asked Obama about price but were told to wait and see, even after he spoke to the bike tour guide on the phone. When we met the bike tour guide, Obama explained his guide fee as 300 shillings, but the man corrected him to 1500. Then we had to pay a bunch of small fees, including the guide’s park entry fee and even his bike fee. We rented the guide’s bike for him, from him. The guide had a thick accent and a frequent cough. He mostly pointed to animals.
Only later did we see other tourists without guides and realize the guide was optional. We asked for some privacy and our guide rode ahead and mostly let us bike at our own pace.
One purpose the guide apparently serves is scaring away buffalo by clapping. So give the buffalo plenty of space and clap them away if they’re too close - they can be dangerous.
Finally, Alan was a responsive organizer and answered our emails promptly. Much appreciate that

Dav Safaris is the absolute best!
As soon as our tour guide picked us up, we knew we were in for an amazing time. Amos
was incredibly friendly, flexible and energetic. We spent together 8 incredible days driving through Uganda and Rwanda, doing safari, gorillas trekking, visiting local villages, trying local food.
While giraffes, elephants, buffalos, hipos, antelopes were in abundance, Amos knew
how to find the more reclusive game. We saw several male and female lions, baby lions, leopards from very close. The price of our tour was very reasonable, communication with Dav Safari was excellent, and the tour exceeded our expectations. The gorillas trekking was done in a less known place what helped to avoid the crowds and feel really connected with the nature.
Thank You Very Much Dav Safaris for given us an amazing once in a lifetime experience!!! If we ever get back to Uganda, we will be calling them and in the meantime, telling everyone we know to check them out.

had a good time with them
I went on a 5-day tour as a solo traveler with Buyaga Safaris and had a great experience. I went with the itinerary details and choice of lodges as proposed by them and was quite happy with it. Unfortunately some unforeseen car issues caused some disruptions along the way, but my guide was always looking for solutions without compromising my experience.
From the get-go I felt that I was in good hands with Buyaga Safaris. Thank you Peter for this fun and interesting trip!

Everything has been perfect and exactly what we purchased!
I purchased 1 week safari with Sunset Adventure Safari and Emma helped us to set it up based on our needs. Elmes the guide has been very good in finding good spots for animals and to take care of us during the entire trip.
I have been travelling 1 week through Serengeti National Park, Tarangine National park, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater. I have been travelling with my wife and 2 children of 9 and 11 years old.
We all enjoy and we spotted a large number of animals (76 Lions!).
I would recommend the Sunset Adventure Safari.

Worst company ever !
Worst company ever !
They stole our money pretenting they had issue due to covid.
First they asked for money and then they cancel the trip and never give back the money.
Be very careful.

Professional, friendly and caring service
We had an amazing experience with Into Adventure Safaris and our wonderful guide Ben.
All of the communication prior to the trip was friendly, informative, punctual and professional.
And our safari was outstanding, Ben was always punctual, very knowledgable, full of energy and very friendly. We all hugely appreciate all of his efforts to make sure we had the best time, and worked tirelessly to make sure we managed to see all of the big 5!
Would highly recommend.

Excellent, good organized
We had a wonderfull time in Tanzania. Stayed in lake manyara lodge, ikoma lodge en arusha. All arranged by Paradise & wilderness. Our guide during our 2 week trip was Adam, a very good driver and guide who had a great knowledge of wildlife and Tanzania. The food en staff in the lodges was excellent. Also the communication with the organisation was very good. During our trip we wanten to change a night to an otter accommodation and that was no problem at all. Before we went on Safari we got a briefing in arusha. This was very good arranged. Next time I would choose for this organisation without any doubts. Price of our trip was worth it any penny!!! Thanks Melanie of paradise & wilderness for organize our wonderfull trip
