An An Unforgettable Safari Experience in Kenya!
5/5

When booking a trip to Africa the most important thing you can do is to make sure you have booked the absolute best Safari tour company and I believe we did exactly that!

Safari Update Travels gave us a journey that was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Even before we began our journey, the manager, Silas was available for all my questions. He helped us with packing essentials, vaccines, and he even checked on us throughout our booking - even made sure to check on us when we arrived back to our home. Silas, thank you so much for everything!

From the moment we landed in Kenya, everything was thoughtfully organized and flawlessly executed. The team made sure every detail was perfect, and their hospitality was second to none.

The package we selected included travel starting from Amboseli Park, to lake Naivasha, then to Lake Nakuru, and we finished off our trip at Masia Mara Park. Lake Naivasha even included a private boat ride to get up close and personal with the hippos and a ride over to crescent island where we got to walk the whole island with giraffes, zebras, impalas, wildebeest and even saw python nest!!!!!

Our accommodations were a mixture of hotels and tented camps. They were comfortable, clean, and close proximity to the parks. The food we ate was absolutely delicious. Enough variety for every one! The unbeatable views of the African landscape plus waking up to the sounds of nature and watching the sunrise near Kilimanjaro is something we’ll never forget.

We had the pleasure of having two guides throughout of booking, Francis and Kennedy both men were not only incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems, but also passionate and engaging—making every game drive feel like a true adventure. We saw the Big Five (plus so much more!), including breathtaking moments with lions, elephants, and even a rare sighting of a leopard!!

This trip exceeded all of our expectations, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, look no further than safari Update Travels —they will make your dream trip a reality!

5/5

Amazing 3-Day Safari & Hike!
We waited months for this trip, and it was totally worth it! The tour was super well-organized, and Hernest, Omar, and Saloniki were incredible from start to finish. The safari and hike in Morogoro were unforgettable. Highly recommend this team!

Perfect balance: itinerary, impeccable accommodations, wildlife viewing, and exciting moments
5/5

During our safari in Kenya, we were fortunate to have an exceptional driver: Jimmy. From the very first day, he demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the terrain and an almost infallible instinct for taking us right to where the animals were. Thanks to him, we were able to see the "Big Five" up close and experience unforgettable moments surrounded by wild nature. He drove quickly, safely, and professionally, and clearly knew every corner of all the parks we visited (Amboseli, Nakuru, and Maasai Mara) very well. That speed was part of what allowed us to arrive on time for incredible scenes, such as a leopard hunting or a herd of elephants crossing the path. In short, his energetic driving and passion for wildlife made our safari an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for those seeking an exciting and well-guided adventure!

Great time
5/5

We had a wonderful experience on the safari. Pavilion Safaris made fantastic arrangements for us, especially Peter and our guide. There are no words to describe their punctuality and the quality of the accommodations. Additionally, I have to mention that mobile phone coverage was fantastic in all the parks.

Perfect family experience
5/5

Amazing in every way for our family of four with kids aged 14 and 11. Petra setup a wonderful 10 days in Namibia at great locations with everything taken care of. She was also wonderful adjusting things to meet our needs.

Our guide, Lownan, was fabulous. We could not have asked for a better experience as he showed us all the main sites and the sides of Namibia most tourists never see. 5 stars for Petra. 5 stars for Lownan. 5 stars for Nature Travel Namibia.

Brilliant Safari
5/5

The safari was really fantastic. Our guide Godson was very knowledgeable and guided us to all places, animals and places of action. He also was a safe driver and very willing to do his best to do whatever we were asking for.

Our group of 7 people was as put together from bookings of different operators. Do I ended up in different lodges that the others. I didn’t know this before and found it a bit strange. So better check before.

Everything else was really perfect!!!
