Reliable, Affordable & Warm Safari Operator!
I had an absolutely wonderful safari experience with Pavillion Safaris and Tours.
The team is extremely responsible and reliable throughout the whole trip. Communication was smooth and they always sorted out every detail properly.
Every safari itinerary was well arranged, we enjoyed amazing wildlife sightings and comfortable travel arrangements. It has become one of my most memorable travel experiences in Africa. I will definitely recommend this professional local tour operator to all my friends planning an African safari

Good arrangement, nice adventure
They arranged everything within the tour, so we can just simply enjoy the safari during the 6-days tour. It was great to see such many wild animals and the crossing over even with a pretty tight schedule, and enjoy the natural scenery of Africa.

Excellent-value private Kenya safari with a knowledgeable guide Derek
We booked a 6-day/5-night private safari for five friends travelling from Ireland, covering the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli.
The booking process was straightforward, and the itinerary was explained. The package included accommodation, meals, park entry fees, safari drives, a professional guide and one litre of bottled water per person per day.
Choosing a private 4x4 vehicle was an excellent decision. Having the vehicle to ourselves gave us more space and flexibility over where to stop, how long to spend observing the animals, and which activities to prioritise. The vehicle was also comfortable during the longer road journeys.
Our guide, Derek, was knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer questions. He explained animal behaviour and made the game drives enjoyable. The Masai Mara and Amboseli were the highlights of our trip, especially seeing large herds of elephants in Amboseli.
We were slightly disappointed not to see the wildebeest crossing the river in the Masai Mara. We did see huge herds running, but the crossing cannot be guaranteed.
Overall, the safari offered very good value for money. The organisation, private vehicle, guide and variety of national parks made it a memorable experience.

Amazingly Helpful staff
Fantastic safari. My review here is more about the service before and after the actual safari. Peter and Max were incredibly kind and helpful, addressing a variety of needs. They really went the extra mile to make my experience the trip of a lifetime. Thank you, Pavillion Safaris. You guys are wonderful.

Delivered the Promise
We just returned from an incredible 6-day private safari covering the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, and couldn't be happier with the experience. As a group of 5, we appreciated having a private tour tailored to our pace and interests.
We saw 4 of the Big 5 (missed leopard, but that's the luck of the safari draw!) along with an incredible variety of other wildlife across all four parks.
Huge thanks to Peter, the tour operator, for being friendly, transparent, and upfront about everything from the start — no surprises, just honest communication and great planning.
Our guide Derek was outstanding — reliable, extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and terrain, and always accommodating to our group's requests and pace. He made the whole trip feel personal and well-paced.
The tour delivered exactly what was promised and offered excellent value for money. Highly recommend this operator and Derek as a guide to anyone planning a Kenya safari

perfect
The itinerary was perfect for us, it's cheap and comfortable！
Our guide, Eric, is very experienced and we trusted him completely. The most unforgettable moment was yesterday afternoon. We were so exhausted from the heat that we almost gave up waiting for the river crossing, but Eric said, "Just ten more minutes," so we stayed. Fortunately, the zebras and wildebeest began to cross right after that — it was absolutely unbelievable! Eric truly has a gift for prediction!
I will definitely recommend Pavilion and Eric to all my friends who are interested in going on a Safari!

Everything was organized in the best possible way
Each aspect of the tour was organized in a best possible way. From the hotel pick up to the Nairobi city.
I booked four days safari in Massai Mara, Naivasha lake and Nakuru lake.
We reached each destination on time, guide/driver was excellent. Well connected with others to ensure we have a close encounters with all wildlife Kenia have to offer.
Value for money was good as we had a really good accomodation, close to the park entrance, clean and comfortable.
Food was average but that comes with the territory.
I decided to extend the tour for Amboseli and they organized everything for me to have a seamless trip.
I highly recommend them. You will be satisfied!
