Great personalized tour
David was a fabulous tour guide. He was very thorough in figuring out what we wanted our vacation to be, and delivered exactly what we asked. His knowledge of South Africa's history was fascinating. Highly recommend if you'd like someone who can cater to your specific needs rather than being trapped with a big tour group.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience!
I went on a week-long trip with David to South Africa's biggest national game reserve, the Kruger National Park. The trip was fantastic. David is an outstanding guide and his passion for wildlife is evident in his eagerness to share his prodigious knowledge with visitors. He was very attentive in all aspects of the trip and bent over backwards to make the experience as memorable as possible. I found the price to be very reasonable for the individual attention I received. I would highly recommend him to others planning to go to Africa on safari.

Highly Recommended!
David was very easy to communicate with during the booking process.
He really listened to what I wanted to do, and tailored the 2 tours around that.
On the day, he was knowledgeable and good company. I enjoyed our conversations, and hearing about his experiences.
Everything went smoothly and I enjoyed both tours. He was very flexible & that ensured that I was able to get as much out of my limited time as possible.
Thanks David! Now highly recommended.

An Amazing Five Days
We had the most amazing five days with David Forbes of Ukhozi Tours, first in Kruger National Park and then at a fantastic lodge in a private reserve nearby.
He found the ideal camp in Kruger, catered and cooked our meals and deftly drove us around the park for thrilling wildlife sightings, including a litter of indescribably adorable hyena puppies.
One day he heard a distant trumpeting sound and led us to a stunning standoff between a bloat of 17 hippos and a herd of elephants.
He shared his deep knowledge and appreciation of the natural world and his wonderful sense of humor.
You will have the time of your life if you can take a tour with David.
