Attentive
The attention to detail in setting up accommodations, safari parks, and transportation was impressive. We were able to have Gilbert put together a trip of a lifetime and he handled all the behind the scenes work that is worth so much more than the cost of the trip.

Outstanding safari operator that surpassed every expectation—professional, seamless, unforgettable!
We cannot speak highly enough of Gilbert with Bluechip Aviation & Safari. From the very first conversation, he exceeded every expectation and delivered a level of service that was truly exceptional. Gilbert planned every detail of our trip with care, months in advance and all the way through our time here in Kenya. His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine kindness made this experience unforgettable.
Gilbert chose incredible hotels and lodges at every stop, each one perfectly matched to what we wanted, high-quality, comfortable, and within our budget. He crafted a seamless itinerary that flowed beautifully and ensured we could simply enjoy the adventure without ever worrying about logistics.
Throughout the entire process, Gilbert was always available, answering questions quickly and thoroughly, no matter how small. While we were on the road, he kept in touch to make sure everything was going smoothly and that we felt supported every step of the way.
Thanks to Gilbert, our trip through Kenya felt effortless, thoughtfully curated, and far beyond anything we imagined. We give him and Bluechip Aviation & Safari our highest praise and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone planning a safari.

Highly recommended!
Our trip to Kenya was a really unforgettable one, courtesy of Steve and Richard's safari tour! The 4-day safari, the visit to the Massai tribe, the fishing and swimming adventures, and the Mombasa city tour -- everything was perfect! The lodges and the hotel we stayed were the best! I couldn't have asked for a better one! Thank you Steve for making our Kenya trip a very memorable experience!

My Guide Moses is hospitable, caring, professional, and reliable.
Our safari was beyond expectation. First, they've got you the best tour guide, and you'll know by yourself and from others' mouths, for a good tour guide is someone who always cares about your overall experience in and out the vehicle, not to mention that he makes sure you see those wildlife hiding in the bushes which you would definitely miss by falling asleep in the vehicle. We did see the big five and the ugly five thanks to our tour guide, and we fell asleep a lot in the vehicle. And guess what? You can't bring nothing back to your friends in your home country, right? He's got it! He took us to a Carrefour to get souvenirs in local price, not at the pricey places, and we got very good Dormans and Javahouse coffee in fair price. Second, Peter himself was hospitalble and responsible. He greeted us in his office in Nairobi, explained everything in detail on the itinerary, and got us a super heavy-duty and useful hat before the safari for each of us. Last but not least, he is very reachable. I think this is the most important thing when you are in a foreign country that you always know who to contact when you need something, urgent or not, and he is there. Highly recommended Pavillion Safaris overall.

A Dream Come True
Our safari in Tanzania was a dream come true, and much of that magic was thanks to our wonderful guide, Juma. We began our journey in the vast wilderness of Selous, where we were instantly captivated by the golden plains and rich wildlife. Juma’s keen eye and expertise allowed us to spot elephants, wild dogs, and crocodiles, while the peaceful boat ride along the Rufiji River gave us a unique perspective of the ecosystem.
Next, in Mikumi, we encountered rolling hills and open plains, where we watched lion prides, giraffes, and zebras roam freely under an endless sky. Juma’s deep connection to the land made each moment feel special, as he expertly guided us through this diverse landscape.
Finally, our adventure led us to the stunning Ruaha, a park that felt like an untouched paradise. The rugged terrain, dramatic hills, and winding rivers were home to some of the most unforgettable wildlife encounters, including lions hunting and elephants crossing rivers with their young. The boat trips along the Ruaha River added an extra layer of tranquility to our adventure.
Juma’s passion for nature and his attentive care made this safari extraordinary. His knowledge and enthusiasm brought each sighting to life, transforming this trip into an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for an immersive, life-changing safari, we highly recommend Juma. It’s an experience we will treasure forever.

Simply excellent!
Cayleigh planned the perfect safari for us! The safari and tour following were exactly what we wanted. Rockfig was an amazing luxury experience that allowed us to see the big 5 and so much more. Our trip with Discover Africa was worth every penny!

SUPER AMAZING ADVENTURE!!!
Do not look for anything else if you are after a memorable Safari experience. The whole experience was an unforgettable one from beginning to end. Needless to say, David, the trip organiser is truly professional, very helpful and responsive. Any questions since the first chat, to during the trip through the last day were immediately answered, I really felt valued, safe and cared for. I travelled solo and have also asked David to make minor changes in my itinerary and of course, he managed to make my requests happen. The Safari itself was an incredible adventure which is difficult to explain in few words!!! I got to see soooo many animals everywhere. It truly felt like living in a real life movie! The driver, guides and chefs were all amazing always ready to help and make your day superb. They were all really knowledgeable, always eagerly looking to spot different animals while also preparing wonderful and delicious food especially while we were camping... I really wasn't expecting such nice meals everyday. Every accommodation was perfect, from beautiful rooms, to amazing Safari lodges, to unforgettable wild camping tents. Everything went smooth from start to finish, David picked me up from my hotel on the first day and it all started from there. 14 days full of beautiful landscapes, scenery, endless animal encounters, daily adventures and abundant meals for breakfasts, lunch and dinner. I really ate a lot! Don't doubt it just go for it. Well done to David, so grateful to have met you and organized such an adventure with you. Truly worth every single euro spent. An adventure carved into my heart forever <3

I had a lucky trip and see everything, total worth it! recommend everyone to come.
I sought to find a reliable safari operator, so I chatted with several online. Nicola from Parrot Safari provided the promptest response, competitive pricing, and thoughtful follow-up advice. Ultimately, I booked a six-day safari. It was a group tour, and I was fortunate to be paired with four friendly companions – our journey proved thoroughly enjoyable.
Patrick served as our guide. He was highly experienced, seemed to know everyone along the route, and knew precisely where to spot wildlife! Under Patrick's guidance, we spotted the Big Five and dozens of other wildlife species. He also showed genuine respect for the animals, which aligned perfectly with our own values. Each day brought fresh surprises. The meals provided were delicious, mostly featuring fresh local ingredients – we particularly enjoyed the lamb and chicken. I was thoroughly satisfied with this safari experience. For the price paid, it exceeded my expectations, so I'm awarding it five stars.
