Awe-inspiring Safari with Pavillion!
Our family started planning our Dec 2025 Safari back in December 2024. We visited Safari bookings and selected our dates, duration, destination and budget and invited Safari tour operators to contact us. Of the half a dozen or so that did Pavillion (Peter) stood out. Communication via email or WhatsApp with Peter has been good throughout (including some football banter). As we were arriving into Nairobi the day before we were due to go on Safari, Peter organised for his colleague Max to do a walking tour of Nairobi CBD area which was extremely enjoyable and interesting.
On the day of our Safari (6 days/ 5 nights) we were still without all of our suitcases. Peter assisted in getting the last remaining suitcase to the vehicle prior to leaving Nairobi for the Masai Mara. Our driver and guide was the knowledge James, he has been doing this role for sometime and knows all the parks very well. James talked us through any animal, bird, tree and flower that was seen, and using his contacts with other guides/ drivers we could get to see all the various animals close up. The Safari was 2 nights Masai Mara staying at the Manyatta Camp, then Lake Nakura staying at Eldorado Rustic Hotel, then Xmas day at Lake Naivasha then 2 nights at Osutua Rafiki Camp for seeing the Amboseli National Park. All the accommodation suited our needs in terms of comfort, food, and excellent staff service.
We did every optional extra including the hot air balloon trip/ champagne breakfast, boat trip and Crescent Island at Lake Naivasha. The final day was a final morning visit to Amboseli before heading back to Nairobi JMO Airport and then for some R&R at Bamburi beach Mombasa. All in all an extremely enjoyable once in a lifetime experience and we thoroughly recommend Pavillion Safaris.

In our experience, Tailor Made Safaris were friendly, helpful and well organised.
Our brief was a of mix of safaris and beach locations over Christmas and New Year. Candance provided us with a selection of game reserves and beach locations from which to choose. We found this extremely helpful given the huge number of options available to us. Candance went on to make the reservations for us and also arranged all our road transfers. We were in contact with Candance throughout our two week holiday, should we have needed anything. This just left us to sit back and enjoy. Which we did!

Fantastic 6-day safari with Green Place Adventures made truly special by our wonderful guide, Alex!
We had a fantastic six-day safari through the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha with Green Place Adventures, made truly special by our wonderful guide, Alex.
From start to finish, Alex was friendly, calm and incredibly knowledgeable, making us feel relaxed while sharing his deep understanding of the animals and Kenya. He was an excellent driver with an amazing eye for spotting wildlife, and he always made sure we had the best possible views, staying with sightings for as long as we wanted. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see four of the Big Five (just the elusive leopard missing), along with countless other incredible animals. His impeccable English and warm personality made every day a pleasure, and we also loved learning a few Swahili phrases from him.
The safari vehicle was a very comfortable 2-wheel-drive Hiace, perfect for the two of us, with plenty of space and great visibility. All the booking was handled via WhatsApp with Elijah, who went above and beyond to include everything we wanted. He was flexible when our plans changed, communicated clearly, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The accommodation was lovely and offered plenty of vegetarian options.
We had an amazing time and it was great vakue for moneh. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Green Place Adventures again when we next return to Kenya.

Incredible experience from beginning to end - attentive, responsive, thoughtful, and thorough
From the very beginning, Lilian was super responsive, thoughtful, and clear regarding different itinerary options. She offered great insights and suggestions without being "pushy" and helped us quickly determine the tour that made the most sense for us. All of the communications were professional, timely, and incredibly clear. We were frankly "blown away" with the extremely high quality of all of the email responses from Lilian. She was always positive, encouraging, and eager to help.
Once we arrived in Arusha, the tour was everything promised. We were met by our driver/guide (Elisante) who was similarly professional, courteous, and eager to help. Once again, we were incredibly pleased and appreciative of everything Elisante did to help us enjoy our safari experience. First, we were suitably pleased with his excellent driving - careful, diligent, good pace, and always alert - especially in comparison to some of the driving we witnessed from others. Second, he had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife - almost as if he knew what was coming. Third, he was extremely knowledgeable about the area, roads, and where to find the wildlife - provided great insights and responses to the many questions we posed to him. We saw everything we wanted - had some incredible interactions and got some amazing photos. Last, but not least, his positive and pleasant disposition was refreshing - he was always smiling and helpful.
Overall, we had a phenomenal experience and would highly recommend Wild Pride Safaris based on our experience. First class!

Our guide Eddy was amazing, professional, well knowing and funny too. Always in time and accepted our wishes. He gave us a lion experience we never forget.

An awesome adventure
Our trip with Destiny Explorers this December was awesome. This was our first ever Safari and Issa promptly answered all of our questions and helped us with our Itinerary. Our guide Tarimo was super knowledgeable and kind. He communicated with other guides to find out what animals were spotted and where, so he could take us to the good spots. He was also happy to stop anywhere we wanted and gave us lots of information about the animals and places. Our only complaint is that the vehicle was really old and rundown (no AC) and features like phone chargers were not working. However it's good to note that the price quoted by Destiny Explorers was overall cheaper than some other agencies so it was okay. We still had a great time and would recommend people to book with Destiny Explorers.
