Absolutely Awesome!
5/5

Peter and the team at Pavillion did a great job and I had the amazing pleasure to be guided by Wilson through Maasai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli Parks. The trip and the wildlife totally exceeded my expectations and Wilson was an incredible, polite, attentive and fun guide. I highly recommend him. Memories for a lifetime!

Awe-inspiring Safari with Pavillion!
5/5

Our family started planning our Dec 2025 Safari back in December 2024. We visited Safari bookings and selected our dates, duration, destination and budget and invited Safari tour operators to contact us. Of the half a dozen or so that did Pavillion (Peter) stood out. Communication via email or WhatsApp with Peter has been good throughout (including some football banter). As we were arriving into Nairobi the day before we were due to go on Safari, Peter organised for his colleague Max to do a walking tour of Nairobi CBD area which was extremely enjoyable and interesting.
On the day of our Safari (6 days/ 5 nights) we were still without all of our suitcases. Peter assisted in getting the last remaining suitcase to the vehicle prior to leaving Nairobi for the Masai Mara. Our driver and guide was the knowledge James, he has been doing this role for sometime and knows all the parks very well. James talked us through any animal, bird, tree and flower that was seen, and using his contacts with other guides/ drivers we could get to see all the various animals close up. The Safari was 2 nights Masai Mara staying at the Manyatta Camp, then Lake Nakura staying at Eldorado Rustic Hotel, then Xmas day at Lake Naivasha then 2 nights at Osutua Rafiki Camp for seeing the Amboseli National Park. All the accommodation suited our needs in terms of comfort, food, and excellent staff service.
We did every optional extra including the hot air balloon trip/ champagne breakfast, boat trip and Crescent Island at Lake Naivasha. The final day was a final morning visit to Amboseli before heading back to Nairobi JMO Airport and then for some R&R at Bamburi beach Mombasa. All in all an extremely enjoyable once in a lifetime experience and we thoroughly recommend Pavillion Safaris.

My Guide Moses is hospitable, caring, professional, and reliable.
5/5

Our safari was beyond expectation. First, they've got you the best tour guide, and you'll know by yourself and from others' mouths, for a good tour guide is someone who always cares about your overall experience in and out the vehicle, not to mention that he makes sure you see those wildlife hiding in the bushes which you would definitely miss by falling asleep in the vehicle. We did see the big five and the ugly five thanks to our tour guide, and we fell asleep a lot in the vehicle. And guess what? You can't bring nothing back to your friends in your home country, right? He's got it! He took us to a Carrefour to get souvenirs in local price, not at the pricey places, and we got very good Dormans and Javahouse coffee in fair price. Second, Peter himself was hospitalble and responsible. He greeted us in his office in Nairobi, explained everything in detail on the itinerary, and got us a super heavy-duty and useful hat before the safari for each of us. Last but not least, he is very reachable. I think this is the most important thing when you are in a foreign country that you always know who to contact when you need something, urgent or not, and he is there. Highly recommended Pavillion Safaris overall.

Supportive, highly comfortable and affordable safari tour
5/5

I did the 3-day safari to Amboseli and I really had a great experience starting from the booking until my arrival back in Nairobi. Peter was super supportive in assisting me and accounting for my needs. Everything was well organised and comfortable, including the accomodation, food and tours within the park. We saw a lot of elephants, as expected, but also lions, buffalos and several antilope species, in addition to a hyena and suricates! I highly recommend and I look forward to have the chance to repeat it :)
