Pebble Tours & Travel

NEVER AGAIN with pebble travel ! ! ! ! ! !

2 nights for almost 2K USD at Emayian Luxury Camp for 2 on All inclusive Basis (06th - 08th of July in 2025). Transport & Game Drives in a joining 4x4 Landcruiser - Pick up & Drop off Nairobi CBD.

We were collected from Nairobi in the early morning in a Jeep with a defective suspension of the wheels. That made us people riding in the jeep feeling as there was no suspension at all. It felt like a very hard full body massage for more than 10 hours a day. I know offroad riding - I love it even with motorcycles on outdoor racetracks - but our exprience was not funny anymore. It was only damn hard shaking like you were throwing to the inner parts of the jeep - all the time long.
When we were collected in the morning from our camp the jeep was almost full of people. There were only two seats remaining free for us - of couse the worst seats in the very back of the jeep which are made for children I guess but not for adults. And we were three adults sitting there like "sardines in oil pressed close to each other". As I am 1,81m tall people can maybe imagine how I felt there in the very back of the jeep being very hard shaked daily for more than 10 hours and meanwhile not having space even for only sitting straight with my legs. Unfortunately this destroyed my mood even if the animals that we've seen were great (Lions, a Leopard, Hippos, Giraffes, Crocodiles, Elephants, Zebras, Wildebeests). It made me really getting angry when we met other jeeps and I saw that there were less people sitting in these jeeps and as far as I could see all of them had more space than I had.

The people at Emayian Luxury Camp were very friendly and the food there was also amazing. They really do a great job, we love them and have respect! The only negative point at the camp was the jacuzzi only having lukewarm water because of the winter month - not really warm.

At the end when we were going back to Nairobi we were collected in another jeep with a functional suspension. That felt like heaven when compared to the jeep we had to drive the days before at the safari!!!
As an engineer working at a car manufacturer I know when the suspension of a car is defective but when I complained about that and asked for a compensation payment of 300 or 400 USD (do not remember exactly, sorry for that!) then I was only told from pebble travel (I do not say any names here) that I would be wrong, that the suspension would be good at the jeep and also that the jeep is receiving regular maintenance - that was like a punch in my face and nothing more than an outrage towards me especially when I think of all the money I paid.

Sorry, I can only laugh about that statement and I do not believe that you were telling me the truth in this matter!

So think what you want of my review here.
I hope people out there read it and overthink the idea of booking such a safari at Pebble Travel. Always take care please!
