Well planned, packed itinerary with responsive operator and knowledgeable guides
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.

Helpful and quick to respond!
Booking my Safari was swift. Ruben, our tour operator, helped me organize exactly what I was looking for for the exact amount of days. Our time at Inverdoorn in South Africa was beyond fantastic! Grateful to have worked with MoAfrika! Highly recommend their services.

Outstanding! A real gem!
Calvin Kileo was amazing. He was not only a great driver ( and I am a very nervous passenger) he went out of his way to make sure we saw everything as close as we could and always was thoughtful about letting us take photos from the best location without pressure! He was so kind and relaxed and knowledgeable it made for an extraordinary experience! I can’t recommend him enough! You won’t be sorry with Calvin!

Very professional and efficient.
We just returned from our 8-day trip to Uganda, which we had been planning for a year. We told Madonna what we wanted, and she organized everything perfectly. We wanted more than wildlife, we wanted to live within the community.
With a private Landcruiser just for us and an interesting driver guide. We visited Murchison Falls and enjoyed the top of the falls and the wildlife, sleeping at Pakuba Lodge. This lodge is located inside the park and I would see waterbucks outside my room when I came out for breakfast. Then we stayed at Rubalika Safari Lodge and Farm in Kibale for 3 nights. This was the real deal, the lodge is so beautiful and is next to a river called River Dura, and they have a farm as well. But what is interesting is that the farmland is free for the locals to use. So they grow their own food to feed their homes.
We had pleasant community interactions. We went to the garden in the morning and harvested some veggies and Paw Paws that we ate while there, then we made banana juice, and waragi – War Gin, we pollinated vanilla, and had a coffee experience, where we roasted, pounded and made coffee ourselves. We also had the local food experience, we made the local food, of course with the guidance of the village women. We had meals by the river, under trees, under the sky. My best was a jungle massage, by the rapids- the white noise made me feel so relaxed. I would write a whole book about my experience at this place. Everyone needs to experience this. It was such a beautiful and unforgettable experience and we would do it all over again!

Great day in Nairobi National Park
We had a great one day safari with Teddy in Nairobi national park. Very convenient short safari , very close to the city. We loved it. We saw many rhinos, girafes, female lion and many others. Teddy took us to the giraffe centre afterwards. Great experience. Everything was arranged from home via WhatsApp. Teddy was on time and brought us back on time. Perfect organization. I highly recommend.

Jimmy was an amazing and wonderful guide!
We loved our trip. We did a 3 day safari in Murchison and then decided to do the Gorilla trekking. We visited the Rhinos and saw many animals in the Park. Put accommodations were amazing. Our guide (Jimmy) was very knowledgeable on everything. We were able to see the Gorillas after a short walk off of the road, which was very helpful due to some physical limitations that we had. We were so impressed and he made sure we had the most excellent accommodations and a lovely time which we did. I would highly recommend Semu Safari.

Perfect.
I was truly impressed with this trip and have absolutely no regrets about choosing to travel with Afrikan Accent Adventures.
From the very first day, the warm welcome and excellent service throughout the entire trip stood out. The food and accommodations were consistently outstanding during the journey.
Nicholas, our tour guide and driver, was extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, geography, languages, and local culture. He explained everything in a clear and detailed way, while also being very friendly and approachable. His driving skills were also exceptional.
Everything I experienced here left a deep impression on me, especially the incredibly friendly people. I’m confident that I will return again with Afrikan Accent Adventures.
