Peter G. was very helpful and thorough in coordinating our entire trip from airport pu to safaris.
Our tour driver Peter Mbutha is a wonderful gentleman who is very knowledgeable about the cities, countryside and townships all over Kenya.
He was very kind and thoughtful with our entire family while on tour over the course of several safaris. He is a great driver who knew the surroundings very well and we always felt safe and secure. He really is a delightful man who helped make our experience quite memorable.

Peter was very knowledgeable about the area and the animals and made everything feel safe.
The tours were fantastic. We had a great experience seeing the different parks and all of the wildlife and natural beauty. Our guide, Peter, knew all of the park trails very well and was well prepared for each day and knew the best ways to get around in each location. We always felt very confident in his abilities and he was great to talk with. The lunches provided during the tour were fantastic as well.

They desire to give us the best possible tour, providing safety to us in every way.
We only had two days for Safari available to us. PenFam made those two days very fun and memorable. I couldn’t believe the number of animals that we saw, but they seem to know exactly where to look. They also arranged for excellent lodging for our team at a very reasonable cost. Everyone in our team was thrilled with the adventure; going home to share stories and pictures with families and friends.
I have been taking small groups over from our church in the U.S. since 2003. We have always hired the professionals at PenFam to guide us on our tours. They are the best!!

We felt completely safe and exceptionally well cared for during the entire experience.
Our Kenyan safari tour operator, Peter, provided a smooth, affordable experience with excellent communication. We experienced uncomplicated transport from start to finish, and the reception at the destination lodge was efficient and welcoming. Throughout our stay, we felt completely safe and exceptionally well taken care of. I strongly recommend Penfam Tours for your next safari in East Africa.

The Trip of a Lifetime!
Without a doubt, our PENFAM safari was an experience of a lifetime! While we have traveled widely, this was our first adventure to Africa. PENFAM and the people of Kenya made the trip among the two or three best travel experiences in our lives! We traveled with close friends which made the trip especially meaningful for us. PENFAM provided a truly outstanding driver and tour guide. Our driver was extraordinarily attentive to our interests and desires. He listened to our discussions and tailored his driving and destinations to suit often unspoken wishes. He was experienced and was skilled at spotting wildlife near and far: one instant he was pointing out a roller (bird) 3m from the vehicle and the next a white rhino 200m across the savannah. We were also extremely pleased with the lodges at which Penfam had arranged for us to stay. The accommodations were absolutely outstanding but the pièce de résistance was the attentive, skilled and, above all, friendly staff.
Of course, the reason for the trip was to see wildlife and exceptional scenery. Penfam delivered and more. We traveled to several parks and preserves including Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Amboselli. We returned with literally thousands of photographs that were so amazing it was the most difficult editing job!
“A trip of a lifetime” is, if anything, an understatement!

The hole trip was amazing from the start, we loved the safari lodges where we stayed, they exceeded our expectations. Our driver was so considerate and always aware of our needs. The safari’s were full of exciting moments. A pride of lions will always be a memory 9 in total
5 cheetahs, herds of elephants, as well as May birds, We went to Masai Mara lake Nakuru, Amboselli to mention a few. Altogether it was a trip we are not likely to forget. My son and his family are going their in August 2025 with Penfam.
