Well organized custom solo safari
Just finished a 2 night solo safari trip with Pallid Safaris at Amboseli and couldn’t be happier! I’ve been on a few safaris before and know that I prefer smaller camps/lodges with good food and nice design. Carolyn listened to what I wanted and suggested Tawi lodge which was perfect and included things like bushwalks and sundowners as well as drinks. My guide Lee, was also a kind and safe driver who designed the trip based on what I was interested to see. Also I appreciated that Pallid only has 4x4 jeeps as I’ve seen plenty of vans in ditches on the side of the road. Overall a great value and would use them again!
Wonderful and safe experience
My second time in Kenya and I wanted to see some of the lesser known parks. Pallid Safaris was easy to work with and we’re happy to prepare a customized itinerary for the parks I wanted to see: Samburu, Shana, Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East.
Each park was different in landscape, terrain, and the type and variety of wildlife. The accommodation was also different with a mix of lodges and tented camps, some with wildlife roaming in the camp.
It was Chinese New Year and I booked last minute. Carol was efficient and effective in booking alternative lodging when first choices were full. All were very good to excellent. In general, the smaller the camp the nicer the experience.
Lee, my driver / guide was excellent. Very safe on Kenya’s treacherous highways. Very professional in navigating difficult terrain in the parks. He seemed to know all the roads in all the parks without the use of navigation aids. Lee also knew where to go for the best chance of seeing wildlife. He also kept up with other drivers via CB radio or brief on-road chats as to where the wildlife could be spotted at any given time.
A very pleasant 13 days with Pallid Safaris. If you book this company you will not be disappointed.
We received excellent service!
Thank you for your amazing service. If not for Pallid Safaris, we would not have made all our precious memories. The safari drive, the information and details, the exciting experience, everything was present and was unforgettable! Thank you!
Well organized and can recommend it to other visitors.
I loved every event of the tour and learned a lot on animals especially their behavior and how they relelate to each other.
SPECTACULAR EXPERIENCE WITH PALLID SAFARIS!
I'm writing this review because I rely heavily on reviews when planning travel. Husband and I just completed a 6-day safari in Kenya (Jan/Feb 2026), planned by Pallid Safaris and their consultant Carolyn Wambua (who had been referenced in some prior reviews as outstanding). I gave a vague sketch of what we wanted to experience and Carolyn planned our experience for us with literally no work on our part. What she and her team delivered for us was truly spectacular. In advance of the trip and during the six-day safari, Carolyn was prompt, professional, thorough, and flexible. When we made an impromptu change in our plans near the end of the trip, she made quick modifications with no fuss. Our tour guide Lee was exceptional; we were with him for six days. We felt cared for, respected, safe, and well guided. Being on a tour when you are completely in someone else's hands requires a lot of trust (and cost!), and the experience provided by Pallid met every expectation we had.
For readers considering a six-day (or so) safari in Kenya, and if you don't really know what you want, I have a bit of advice (for what it's worth). First, working with an operator like Pallid is a must. We literally didn't lift a finger for six days and everything was seamless. Second, we did one night at Amboseli, one at Naivasha, one at Nakuru, and then two in the Masai. In retrospect, I wish we had done one extra day and two nights at each place (except for Nakuru, which was our least favorite). The lodges that Pallid selected at Amboseli, Naivasha, and Masai were spectacular; we were not keen on the Sopa-brand lodge at Nakuru, and because Nakuru is largely a place to see rhinos and not much else, we could have skipped it. The travel is exciting but arduous and being able to re-charge a little longer at each place would be desirable (IMO).
Finally, when our tour guide Lee left us today at our final spot (where we were then being transported to the airport), I cried. We are frequent travelers and I've never cried at the end of a trip, but tears were running down my face. Why? I was very, very sad -- because of the caring, exhilarating, trusting, and life-changing experience we had just had. I sure hope to get back and do this again (with Pallid -- Carolyn and Lee, of course) but for many of us, this only happens once in a lifetime. If you are planning a safari, I truly hope that your experience is as memorable and spectacular as ours. Cheers --
