The exact experience we were after!
We had an amazing experience with Tausi Trails! They are a beautiful, local company who attended to our every need (there were a few) and adapted the safari to meet our needs. They paired us with a great guide who was extremely knowledgeable, organised and personable to ensure our adventure was perfect. We seen all the animals we could have dreamed and had an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this company.

Photographer's paradise with guide Harun
As a wildlife photographer, I needed a guide who understood light and animal behavior. Haruni was that guide. He positioned the vehicle perfectly every time, never disturbing the animals, and knew exactly where to find dramatic acacia trees at sunset. Back at camp, Anny had arranged everything seamlessly, including extending our game drives when the light was perfect. The unlimited water and snacks kept us going all day. Montez understands serious safari-goers.

Awesome experience, great value for money
I booked the 13-day Kenya-Tanzania Budget Safari and would do it again anytime. David was always reachable both before and during the tour and made a great effort to answer questions and help with any issues that arose. He seems to be constantly on duty.
Almost all the accommodations were better than expected, and the staff were very friendly and helpful almost everywhere. As for the food, my expectations were far exceeded. Only the Fig Tree Lodge in Mto wa Mbu was far below average in various respects (food, accommodation, friendliness of a senior staff member). Other places were great however and I can’t praise the staff and food at the Buraha Zenoni Hotel and the Charity Hotel enough!
Shortly after our departure from Nairobi, there were two issues with the vehicle that delayed our journey, which meant that we could no longer do a game drive that day. The issues were then resolved, and as compensation, we spent significantly more time in the park the following day, so overall it was fine.
As for the itinerary and the safari experience, you get a lot for your money. We saw and experienced so much, and I will think about this wonderful trip for a long time.
The value for money of this trip was truly outstanding, and I highly recommend Pedaso-Safaris!

Amazing operator who went above and beyond for us
Amazing experience. Mike took care of everything and responded to all my questions immediately. Rama, Saba and Vincent were amazing guides. The lodging was first rate. Very, very affordable compared to other operators but still had the same or better experience. Could not recommend more.

Festo was the ABSOLUTE BEST tour guide we could ever for!! He was knowledgeable, patient, and did everything he could to make us have the most memorable experience yet! This company went above and beyond to schedule just what we wanted, listened to our interests, and planed everything around that. They have amazing communication and responsiveness and made us feel very well taken care of. The value is amazing and we feel like it was the best money spent.

Another perfectly organized and managed 8 days safari
We were a family group of 7 persons on this safari. It has been perfectly organized and managed even when Lion King had to adjust the program due to the impact of the starting rainy season : heavy rain made some track impassable cutting the access to Ndutu area from the Serengeti.
Our drivers were excellent both has guides and drivers and we never felt in danger.
The visit to the Hadzabes and Datoga tribes were fascinations extensions and left lasting memories to both adults and children.
The camps were offering an excellent comfort and food and we all appreciated the presence of all kind of animal around and sometimes inside the camp!
This was our third safari tous with Lion King Adventures and we can only applaud the choice of this operator.

An unforgettable private safari for couples.
My partner and I booked with Civet Adventures Safari and the experience was better than we ever imagined. Our main goal was to see leopards in the wild and our guide actually found one resting on a tree branch for us. We sat there for a long time just enjoying the view without any other cars around which made it feel very special. The vehicle was in great condition and handled the bumpy Tanzanian roads with ease. It was clear that our guide had years of experience because he knew exactly where the animals would be hiding. Everything from the booking to the actual drive felt very personal and relaxed. If you are looking for a reliable team that provides a real connection to nature then this is the right choice for your trip.

Amazing safari experience for a great price, very reliable tour operator
My 13-day budget safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Pedaso Safaris was an incredible experience and I can definitely recommend booking through David and his company!
Both Kenya and Tanzania are beautiful countries and the tour itinerary is well-planned, covering many highlights.
David was very helpful and outstanding in terms of communication throughout the booking process and while on safari. Our group encountered some issues with the safari vehicle on the first day of the tour, which resulted in missing the afternoon game drive in Masai Mara that was scheduled for that day. While this was disappointing, David did everything in his power to resolve the situation and the next day, we had an extended full day game drive in Masai Mara.
Since this was a group-joining budget safari, meaning that you share a safari vehicle with other people who booked through different tour companies, David of course had limited influence and had to coordinate with the other operators. Still, he did an amazing job and successfully made sure that we got value for our money.
Booking a budget safari I expected very basic accommodation and food. However, almost all of the camps/lodges/hotels were super comfortable with good service and very tasty food and far exceeded my expectations!
The trip really was wonderful with so many breathtaking sightings and it was definitely more than I expected for this price.

Once in a lifetime
We were a family of 3 people: my 64 old dad, my sister and me, all with the same dream, to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. We experienced the best trip of our lives where our guides, Choda and Philemon made everything possible. All the team was amazing, at the end felt like family. We loved the whole experience: tasting Tanzanian food, learning suahili, laughing with porters and of course reaching Uhuru Peak. Do not hesitate to climb with this company if you want to have a unique experience.
