Amazing Tour!
We've had the most amazing tour with Charles. His knowledge is outstanding! He really made our trip perfect. I would not recommend anybody else. The places we've visited were Maasai Mara and Amboseli, and I will definitely come back for other national parks.

Amazing Guide!
For our 25th anniversary, my husband and I spent two weeks on safari with Charles, traveling to all corners of Kenya. Charles is an amazing guide as well as delightful company. He handles all situations with grace and has boundless knowledge of his country and wildlife. I highly recommend Charles as a guide and hope to return one day for another Kenyan adventure with Charles.

Truly Exceptional!
I did a 3-week safari with Charles of Dens of Africa (Amboseli, Samburu, Nakura, Maasai Mara). A great itinerary is only part of a great safari. A truly exceptional experience requires a talented guide/driver with a keen eye, excellent instincts on animal behavior, and understanding of positioning to take world-class photos. Dens of Africa delivered exactly this exceptional experience. They went above and beyond to enable the most exhilarating photography I have ever done. Moreover, Charles is a delight to ride with--his positive attitude and sense of humor brightened each day. It's a privilege to call him a lifelong friend.
