Well organised, excellent experience
We have done the 3 days 2 night Murchison Safari with Abraham as tour guide. Both him and driver were knowledgeable and friendly. We trekked rhinos and went on a boat trip on the Nile. We saw among other animals buffaloes, giraffes, antelopes, hartebeest and waterbucks, warthogs lions, crocodiles and hippos. The lodge was comfortable with nice food and friendly staff. It is worth the price!

Stacy Readal did a fabulous job in setting up our trip on very short notice.
Our guide/driver was Ebenezer. Ebenezer was a great driver (important as many of the roadways are narrow and dirt with ruts); had a knack for finding hiding animals; had incredible knowledge of all the types of wildlife we saw, including the plant life and birds; and was very personable (important as you spend a lot of time driving around in a Toyota Land Cruiser and at meals with your guide). I highly recommend him.
We stayed in some really nice camps (our two favorites were the Elwai Camp and Tarangire Tortilis Camp) but all of the camps had very friendly staff. The night prior to the Safari, we stayed at the Tumbili Lodge. Very nice accommodations with excellent food.
We saw lions (lots), leopards (2 and a cub, which we hear is rare), hyenas, cheetahs, baboons, giraffes, warthogs. antelopes, impalas, Rhinos (in the Ngorongoro Crater which is a must), elephants, hippos, ostriches, and large migrating herds (thousands) of wildebeasts and zebras.

Amazing !
We had an unforgettable vacation thanks to Nijia. they listened and adapted to our family (with children), always smiling, available and helpful. Very good value for money. nijia knows the country and the animals very well, it was fabulous! We were also able to get in touch with rugby clubs, our passion. moments rich in exchange. to do again without hesitation with this company

Worst Nightmare Ever
Avoid this company. The owner/manager Richard, lied to us. He did not respect the contract, put me in different accommodation, much cheaper and very low quality , than i have paid for. I have paid for gorilla habituation but instead of that i just got the regular 1 hour trekking, he ripped me off u$s 800, which was never refunded to me. The driver Dona who was part of the scam, tried to make me pay for a hotel in the middle of nowhere and when i talked to the police the money magically was sent to the hotel.
Please go with someone else to make you trip of a lifetime unforgettable.
Other companies will make your dream come true.

Spectacular experience and service
We were treated extremely well from start to finish, well organized, great accommodations, stunning scenery, we saw 27 gorillas on our trek. Safaris by Jon did not disappoint. I would recommend a million times over.

Amazing all around experience
We did a full week trekking excursion with Dav Safaris and it was great! Richard our tour guide/driver was excellent as he was always checking in on whether we needed to stop while we were on the road, he answered any questions we had, and he always had great stories to tell. This is particularly important if you are doing the full week tour where you are driving a lot throughout the country. Dav Safaris chose great accommodations with plenty of space, comfort, and friendly staff. The various treks we did were amazing. We saw Murchinson falls, we went to the Ziwa rhino sanctuary, we did a game drive, we saw the chimpanzees, and we saw the gorillas. Communication with Dav Safaris was great and they were always very attentive.

Every aspect was handled - we accomplished everything we wanted on safari
Gettin the variety of camps and lodges, to the multitude of animals seen, very very worthwhile trip. Gettin the point of arriving at the airport until we were dropped back at the airport.
Great value for money and our driver and guide, Alen, was always on top of everything. He also was so good at spotting animals at an incredible distance.
We stopped for lunch everyday somewhere en route and those lunches were the best meal.
I can't speak for other operators but Rajatiurs definitely delivered

Shabbie was the agent and he really took good care of me as a solo traveller
It was a nice Tour my experience with Tent was not very good...as the toilets were very far with no light....
But the food and the driver cum guide were excellent...
Mr Mandella our driver was verywell informed and we saw all the Animals
Overall the trip was good except for the tent stay on first day.
Very professional team and an absolute thrilling Adventure
We took a tour in Tsavo East park,the largest national park in Kenya.I must say it was an absolute thrilling Adventure that I will never forget.I loved our driver Ali a very patient man with a wealth of knowledge about every species of animal in the jungle.He was so professional and always before and on time for the Safari rounds.Should we take another Safari I would recommend the same driver,but overall the whole team is professional.The choice of accommodation was cozy and to our liking and the tour organizer kept finding out if we are alright which made us feel quite safe.For lack of words it was an absolute delight to travel with Papiro adventures.
The constant water supply during the Safari was a plus.I would recommend them for their professional services.I loved the Safari.
