We had a great trip. Everething is well planed and the journey is save. You get what you booked. There is nothing to complain. It is a great trip where you can see a lot of animals. We can requiment the pavillions and would book them again. Thanks to the drivers, wich did a very good job and to Peter.

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.

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!

Absolutely Unforgettable!
5/5

An absolutely unforgettable safari experience with Pavillion Safaris. From the moment we entered the various parks, everything felt seamless and well organized. The landscapes were stunning, the wildlife sightings were incredible, and our guide’s knowledge made every drive feel meaningful rather than rushed. Seeing animals in their natural habitat was genuinely humbling, and we were lucky enough to spot so much more than we expected. The attention to detail, respect for nature, and overall atmosphere made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Truly deserving of 5 stars.

Peter is a excellent person!
5/5

During the Safari trip, I have 3 drivers, the first driver took us to the Maasai Mara, I think it's the best place in January, its lush grasslands and rolling hills, paired with a telephoto lens, make it possible to capture stunning photographs. The second driver Eric took me to the hHell's gate national park. I went cycling and rock climbing there—it was a truly unforgettable experience. Eric drove behind me the entire time and even took the initiative to take photos of me and chat with me. He was an excellent guide.The third driver took us to Amboseli. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see Mount Kilimanjaro because the cloud cover was too heavy. Some optional activity prices didn’t match the itinerary Peter gave me—for example, the actual price for the Maasai village was USD 20, and mountain biking was also USD 20.

We were very satisfied with all the hotels we stayed in; the surroundings were beautiful and the service was attentive. Overall, it was a really great trip!

The guides and staff I met were very friendly and I felt safe traveling alone. Seeing the animals, especially the lions, up close was a very memorable experience for me.

Communicative and serviceminded
5/5

We went for a 2-day budget-safari with the highly experienced guide Newton. It was amazing! Pavillion Safaris was very easy to comunicate with before the departure, always answering whatsapp right away. They picked up us where we wished and we got droped of aswell were we wished for. We were 5 people traveling as a group and we reserved the jeep for us only. They met our needs and when we requested certain customizations of the program, there was no discussion. We got one afternoon and one morning gamedrive in Masai Mara and we saw so many different animals, I still cant belive it! Never would have belived that I would see lions, elephants, leopards, girafes, and so on (counted around 17 different animals) so close up! Our guide Newton knew a lot about the animals and the best spots in the park. The accomodation for sleeping was simple but comfortable (we love tents). Highly recomend Pavillion Safaris and highly recomend Newton as a guide !!!
