The tour was very enthusiastic from the booking stage. They were very helpful and replied quickly to all questions. This was the best safari tour I have ever had in Kenya. The service was excellent
I’m very happy to have joined this trip
The driver to great care of us and seeing the big five was not out of reach at all 😎

Review of our 3-day safari to Mikumi
We did a 3-day safari in Mikumi and it was a really great experience, especially if you don’t have many days but still want to see lots of animals and enjoy something truly authentic.
Everything was very well organized from the start, with early pick-ups for the ferry and train, and Faisal was always making sure everything ran smoothly. The accommodation was clean and well equipped, with mosquito nets, and during the safari we saw a huge number of animals (lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes…), more than we expected. The visit to the Maasai village was a nice extra, and the pace of the safari was relaxed and never felt rushed.
It’s worth being prepared for the sun and bringing a small daypack, although water is provided and the accommodation has everything you need, including towels. Overall, it’s a great option if you want to make the most of your time and experience Mikumi without any hassle.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Jill Eales
Not loads of birds, apart from at the view point where we stopped for lunch, they were in abundance - used to tourists giving them scraps!

Review about Kruger National Park by Andrea Gottardo
We only had 1 day available to explore the park due to very important rainfall. We would have love to have more time.
Our tour operator did not perform as expected and completely ruined our experience.

Enjoy the forest by foot but don't rent a car or a driver!!
The forest is quite unique. The entrance fee is 725 Kenyan shillings per non resident adult. We explored it with Willie, a freelance tour guide we found through the official Arabuko Sokoke website. He charged us 2,500 KES for a three-hour tour, during which we walked through the forest and saw birds, insects, butterflies, monkeys, and the shrew. Overall, it was a very nice experience.
However, when organizing the tour, he told us that access to the forest was only possible by car and that he would arrange transportation for a minimum of 4,000 KES (half of the total cost of the entire activity), since we didn’t have our own car. In reality, we were perfectly willing to get there by tuk-tuk or on foot. The car only took us to the pond where elephants come to drink—a 15-minute drive—after which the rest of the morning was spent walking, which was actually the best part of the experience.
This extra cost felt completely unnecessary, especially since the car just waited in a parking lot for three hours. I would have much preferred to spend that money supporting the forest itself rather than on unused transportation, and the whole situation felt a bit like a setup

My tour operator was very hands on, consistently checking in with me to make sure it was going well
Pedaso Safaris were on top of everything. With my tour guide (David) making sure to check in with us everyday. Asking if everything was going well. Or if we had any questions/grevencies. Pedaso Safaris were especially great in helping plan the trip, being in contact with them for 6 months, helping finalise every little detail.
