Highly Recommend!
TLDR: Did the 7 days 6 nights safari tour. I had an amazing time and truly enjoyed the entire experience. David from Pedaso Safaris was warm and made me feel very welcomed on my first ever visit to Africa. The safari tour itself exceeded expectations and the various safari drivers were professional, responsible and reliable. I highly recommend Pedaso Safaris!
One thing which I feel is important to highlight is this...
From my experience, I've formed the impression that Pedaso Safaris is a safari agent. The safari tour itself is made up of people from different agents with different itineraries. For example, there could be someone who has signed up for a 3 days safari starting from Day 1 while there could be another person who has signed up for a 4 days safari but starting from Day 3. Therefore, during my 7 days safari, there were a lot of movements such as dropping and picking people off which inadvertently caused delays. Besides that, there were also different safari drivers for different legs of the tour.
There was also an incident where an option to do a particular activity which was offered in my safari quote was completely omitted at the safari driver's discretion. In this instance, I was upset as I felt that it wasn't communicated well. Having said that, upon contacting David, the issue was resolved immediately which I was extremely impressed. David managed to find someone to take me to do the activity and the guy went above and beyond to make my solo activity memorable. A tip here is to contact your agent IMMEDIATELY if you encounter any issues or itinerary deviations at any time during your safari tour.
To be honest, that little hiccup did not affect my safari tour experience. It was overall an incredible experience and I will do it again.

Amazing
I'm grateful to our driver, Castro, for showing us scenes that can only be seen on a safari, such as a cheetah hunt and a tense moment between a lion and a hippo. The hotel and food were top-notch.

Very professional tour guides.
We just completed a 15-day safari with Africa Steenbok Safaris, covering Nairobi, Namanga, Amboseli, Tsavo and the Coast, with stays at 2 lodges and 3 hotels - and a Night in the wild - in tents
We were lucky to have David and Humphrey as drives and guides - thanks to both of you, your sharp instincts and dedication gave us unforgettable wildlife moments.

Clear communication, efficient coordination, satisfactory service
The entire journey was well-serviced, especially with the professional driver and guide, Morris, who was highly efficient in spotting animals. If there's another chance to go on a safari in East Africa in the future, I hope to encounter Morris again.

Reliable and professional
We booked a two-day safari with Major Treks. We communicated with them months in advance via WhatsApp and had a good rapport. We received a detailed quote and accepted the offer.
A month before our arrival, we received our domestic flight tickets from Zanzibar to the mainland.
Everything was perfectly arranged, and we had an unforgettable two days. The first day was spent in Tarangire National Park and the second day in the Ngorongoro Crater. It was amazing to experience, and we saw so many animals!
Keep in mind that you'll spend a lot of time driving to the parks, and at the Ngorongoro Crater, you'll think you've arrived, but then it's a 45-minute drive down into the crater.

Thoroughly Recommended
I found Nancy and Excel Getaways through researching on Trip Advisor. Thank you so much to everyone who recommended her.
I can’t thank Nancy enough for the support she has given me from the moment I sent the first email.
My husband and I had never been on safari before and really didn’t know where to start. We knew that we wanted to go to Kenya followed by a week on the beach in Zanzibar.
I had a few ideas about the camps that I thought might be right for us, and Nancy duly costed those.
She also suggested some other camps one of which, Offbeat N’doto, stood out to me.
I am SO grateful to Nancy for suggesting Offbeat.
In all my research here in the UK I hadn’t come across Offbeat. I will write a review in due course but honestly, our minds are still blown by the experience we had.
On arrival, it took nearly two hours for us to get through immigration at Jomo Kenyatta ( I believe this is not normally the case), so I was worried that may have an impact on our driver. I need not have been. Sam was waiting to take us to The Tamarind Tree for an overnight stay close to (Safarilink) Wilson airport.
Sam met us the following morning. We had a great chat with him, so knowledgeable and friendly.
Nancy also arranged the Zanzibar leg of our trip. We changed our mind about the resort that we booked to stay at and Nancy organised our preferred hotel.
Unfortunately, the direct flight from Wilson to Zanzibar got re-routed via Mombasa and so door to door, it took us as long to fly from Kenya to Zanzibar as it did from London to Kenya! Nothing that Nacy could do about that, but she was there for us immediately with the information and revised tickets.
The flight back from Zanzibar to Kenya also got pushed back. Once again, Nancy stepped in and was concerned about the potential to miss our connecting flight home to London. She arranged for us to take the first flight out of Zanzibar and booked a day room at The Crowne Plaza Nairobi Airport. I actually think we’ll consider doing this before all long flights home in the future.
We would not hesitate to recommend Nancy and Excel Getaways
Professional and caring. Always there to answer any questions (and I had a lot!) and felt like she was with you every step of the way.
