Well planned, packed itinerary with responsive operator and knowledgeable guides
5/5

Had the best time on our safari through Kenya and Tanzania organized by Pavillion Safaris! Peter was responsive and helpful, and constantly checking in on how we were through the 10 day safari. Our guides were very knowledgeable, and excellent drivers. Our guide in Kenya, Boniface helped us identify birds, told us the history of the parks we went through, and always checked in to see if any of the members in his van needed support. We took the van option in Kenya and a jeep in Tanzania, and they were both very comfortable. When we had questions, both Peter and our guides were available to help and answer, including stopping at ATMs to withdraw extra cash, getting SIM cards etc. Peter was also very accommodating to our amended itinerary since we planned to fly to Zanzibar on day 11 instead of returning by car to Nairobi as suggested on the trip.

To note: there are many 8+ hours of driving days in the safari, some primarily spent in game drives through national parks, others on getting from one park to another. The guides/drivers are incredible drivers, and even though the roads aren't always perfect, I never felt motion sickness through the trip. One recommendation would be to bring face masks, as some of the parks are windy and dusty.

The accommodations and food both in Kenya and Tanzania were adequate. In Kenya, we stayed in large campsites with regular beds, washrooms, and hot showers. Lunch was packed (sandwich + fruits and juice), and dinner and breakfast were served at the campsites. In Tanzania, we stayed in regular tents on a campground with shared bathroom facilities. All meals in Tanzania were served hot and fresh.

Do mention any dietary restrictions to the guides and Peter ahead of time - they do their best to accommodate them but it's not always available. As a vegetarian, I had no trouble with food throughout the trip, although a vegan in our group had more struggle for a day or two.

Overall, I'd highly recommend Pavillion Safaris, organized by Peter, and both Boniface and Rueben, our guides through the safari.

well organized and safely enough.
5/5

we joined the safari trip from the end of March to the beginning of April, we enjoyed the trip a lot. It is raining season, but in our case it rains someday only at night, it is sunny in the day time so we can enjoy the view. It is after the breeding season, we saw many babies which are super cute. the temperature is just right, not hot. not too many tourist, not crowded. the price is reasonable, the trip is well recognized, and our guide Martin is so nice. It is also a good chose to go in March and April, and I highly recommend Pavillion Safaris .

The safari was very organized and allowed us to see amazing animals and scenary
5/5

We found the safari organized by Peter on the internet and reached out to him via phone. He was very responsive and presented the different options.
The option we choose was great (6 days safari) very well organized and allowed us to see many animals (the big 5!) and beautiful sceneries
Love it and would recommend

Excellent
5/5

Very nice driver. The tour of 4 different places is perfect for 6 days. Food and accomodations corrects for the price.

Every details was planned out and executed perfectly.
5/5

Peter organized everything for us, making our trip an incredible experience. He greeted us on the morning of our first day, took us to his office to settle our balance, and introduced us to our driver. We had Boniface for the Kenya portion of our safari and Rueben for Tanzania—both were exceptionally knowledgeable about the wildlife and skilled at finding the best viewing spots. While seeing all of the Big 5 isn’t guaranteed, we were lucky enough to spot them all. Even for a budget safari, every detail was well taken care of.

A few helpful tips: You’ll spend a lot of time in a jeep or van, both on game drives and traveling between parks, so be prepared for long hours sitting. The dry climate makes it quite dusty—avoid white clothes or anything you don’t want getting dirty. Bring cash if you’d like to enjoy a beer at the camps or hotels, as not all accept credit cards.

Accommodations vary by location. In Kenya, we stayed in comfortable hotels or raised tents with private bathrooms and showers. In Tanzania, we camped in ground tents with communal washrooms and showers. Meals are mostly buffet-style for breakfast and dinner—not gourmet, but always plentiful. In Tanzania, a cook traveled with us and prepared hot meals. Fresh fruits and juices were available at every stop and were safe to consume.

Overall, an unforgettable safari experience!
