Amazing safari guided by Patrick
Patrick's communication is excellent. He always replies to emails promptly and answered the many questions we had. We are now planning our next safari with Patrick in August 2019. When he was our guide he was always very punctual and could spot animals long before we could see them. He was always very friendly yet professional and always checked with us if we were ready to move on after stopping to photograph an animal or bird.

Patrick is a wonder guide - one of life's gentlemen
I have to admit we've been unable to travel to Kenya for some years now but Patrick was our guide on each of our three visits. He's a wonderful guide, careful driver and a good companion - as I said, one of life's gentlemen.
I would unhesitatingly recommend any tour company with which he is associated. Miss you, Patrick!

Another great trip with Patrick, Owner and Operator of PD Tours & Safaris
Finally got around to writing a review of my 2 night, 3 day safari at Tsavo East with Patrick. If you want a calm, safe, friendly, happy driver, then Patrick is your man. I first met him in 2016 through another tour company and enjoyed it so much I booked direct with him this time round.
Nothing was too much trouble, the price was what he said it would be (plus a card handling charge) and gave me copies of all his licences and insurance certificates when I asked. I stayed at Ashnil Aruba Lodge both nights having stayed there last year (and Voi Safari Lodge on my first trip, Ashnil by far is the best)
I had a great time and saw an amazing 26 lionesses & lions and 549 elephants (didn't beat my total of 926 from last year) and a couple of cheetah, plus all the normal game.
One thing I will say of Patrick is he follows the rules. In Tsavo you are not allowed to drive off road and if caught the drivers loose their licence and livelihood, this didn't stop many drivers and I was amazed at how many went 'off road' looking for lions and also didn't respect the rules and went too close off road for a photo, scaring the animals off and thus the enjoyment of others. I experienced this last year and understand that some unscrupulous drivers will do this for money (I'm not encouraging you to do this in any way, shape or form - quite the opposite)
If you are someone who understands that we are in their home, respect them and be in awe of the nature around you, to take time to watch and observe and most of all savour every moment, then Patrick is the guide for you.
Don't get me wrong if you want him to rush around just looking for lions, then he will accommodate you but he and you will get the greatest pleasure in enjoying the african wildlife around you.
I have no hesitation in recommending him and would use him again in an instant. Oh, and his van is in much better condition than a number of others I saw in use.

Totally amazing and everything I had dreamed of
Highly recommend this Company. Patrick organised everything for us. From the Elephant Orphanage in Nairobi to the lodges and safaris and a few days in a fab hotel on the beach. Patrick looked after us so well and also showed us 'his' Kenya, whilst we were there. This is something we would not have got from any other tour Company and we loved it. We also got the opportunity to take the boys and girls of Lioness Cubs Orphanage out for the day.
I can honestly say that we enjoyed every minute of our time in Kenya and can't thank Patrick and PD Safaris enough.
