Client Testimonials

“His passion for his work is inexhaustible and infectious and his knowledge was astonishing.”

“As guests at Kavinga Lodge in August 2022 we had the enormous pleasure of having Dylan Browne as our guide for three days.  The three days spent with Dylan teaching us about the flora and fauna was undoubtedly the best Zimbabwean bush experience any of us had had for a long time.  His passion for his work is inexhaustible and infectious and his knowledge was astonishing.   Added to which he is a gentleman, and the client’s comfort and pleasure come before anything else.  I would not hesitate to recommend him although frankly, would like to keep him as the ‘best kept secret’!”

We have had the privilege of visiting Kavinga Safaris twice now in the last few years and both times been lucky enough to have Dylan Browne as our guide.  Dylan is an exceptionally talented guide with such a passion for nature. He is so enthusiastic about every aspect of nature as well - not just the big five and big game, but also the flora, fauna, bird life and ecosystems. He is able to read his guests interests and establish a bond and connection with them from the very first game drive or game walk interaction, no matter what their age, gender, race and personal interest are.

Dylan has a brilliant sense of humour which shines through every at comment, every greeting, and in answering every question he is asked. He has a way of taking his guests on a journey from the day they arrive to the moment they depart. He is assured of his abilities and as a guest in his presence, you never feel unsafe or scared, but rather confident that you are in the best hands. He gets to know the animals in the area and has stories to tell you about each one like he has known every animal for years and years.  Dylan as a guide and a person is one of the reasons we have committed to visiting Kavinga at least once a year going forward and we would certainly follow him if he decided to choose a different path. He is absolutely brilliant at what he does.
