Budget-friendly
I went on a one-week safari. My goal was to visit the Maasai Mara (for at least three days) and Amboseli on a budget. The Maasai Mara is an expensive park, so it is rare to find budget tours that include 2–3 days there. At Pavillion Safaris, I managed to find a suitable tour at the right price. Of course, since it was a very low-budget safari, there were compromises: very basic accommodation, fully packed vehicles, and occasional changes of vehicle, guide, or group during the trip. However, the wildlife sightings were just as good as on expensive safaris; the Maasai Mara was magnificent (I saw the entire "Big Five" on the first and third days, and four out of five on the second), and in Amboseli, there were elephants set against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro. The company manager was always available via WhatsApp.

Incredible tour!
We didn’t know what to expect from the tour, but what we experienced was way more incredible than what we expected! We were able to see all of the big five, many birds and many other animals. Our guide David was extremely good at being at the best place at the right time. The parks we saw during the tour were really different and beautiful in many different ways. Thank you Pavillion Safaris for making our dreams come true!

Amazing Kenya 8 day Safari
I booked an 8 day safari with pavillion and i had an amazing time! It was a great safari experiencie! Dont let yourself lose some optional activities, they are 100% worth it (i loved the walking safari!). Easy communication, fast to reply in the case of doubts and very decent acommodation. Remember you are near a national reserve so dont expect too much of hotles, but they are decent with good, spacious and with healthy food. I cant wait to come back and to a Tanzania safari and when this happens, Pavillion will for sure be my choice. Special thanks for Tim and John, my drivers during the safari

The best!
Such an amazing experience. Felt well looked after. Every day was better than the last and when you thought it couldnt be more amazing something more amazing happened! The guides were respectful to nature but also knew exactly where the animals would be and more importantly where they were walking too so you could get the best up close photographs. Highly recommend this travel company and I will be back again and again and again.

The best and wildest experience ever!
We had an amazing safari with Pavillion! Everything was perfectly organised from start to finish, and all the lodges were lovely.
We visited the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli with our guide, Edwin. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide: he speaks English and Spanish, knows the other guides well, and went out of his way to help us see the Big Five and enjoy the fullest possible safari experience.
We then continued to Tsavo West and Tsavo East on a private tour. That part of the trip was just as incredible, with different landscapes and wildlife from what we had seen earlier.
We’re so happy with the whole holiday and would recommend Pavillion to anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

Reliable, friendly, helpful, just PERFECT! Our best experience with a Tour Operator abroad.
It was our first time in Kenya, and we decided to rely on Pavillion. We choose a 6 days budget Safari. I highly recommend this experience.
It was all beautiful, from our camp tents, to the hotel…. Just perfect..
All has been arranged according to our necessities, even if some plans changed during the staying, Peter was ready to help and assist in finding solutions.
Pavillion was really perfect, honestly our best experience with a tour operator, really. I will recommend Pavillion to anybody wishing to come to Kenya for Safari.

Absolutely Amazing Safari Experience!
We did a 7-day safari with Pavillion Safaris visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, and it was the best vacation we’ve ever taken! Peter made everything effortless!
Willson, our driver-guide was patient, knowledgeable, and fantastic with our family, keeping everyone engaged and pointing out animals at every stop. He was also super punctual and made sure to always give us the plan for next day so we can prepare.
The trip plan was a great mix of game drives and rest afternoons so we didn't feel too tired and had the time to rest. The accommodations were great, and we felt well-cared for the entire week. Watching the wild animals together created memories our family will treasure forever. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Seamless and wonderful experience
Peter created a fantastic program for a group of 26. We had 4 vehicles and 4 brilliant guides (Mose, Freddy, Brian & David). The organisation was great and the trip is now a lifetime memory for us all. The guides we friendly, knowledgeable and enhanced the trip for us all.
We were so lucky in Maasai and saw leopard, cheetah, lion cubs, elephants and so much more. The rest of the stops were also incredible from walking amongst giraffe, to seeing hippos from the water and huge herds of elephants in Amboseli. I would recommend Pavillion to anyone. Thank you all for the best holiday!

Unforgettable 7-Day Experience with Pavillion Safaris & Tours
We had amazing time during our Safari trip. We chose to do a 7 day private one (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli). We travelled with family and we all absolutely loved it!
Our guide was great! He had so much knowledge about all animals and was also able to communicate in simpler english so that our parents were able to understand and engage in conversation. Especially in Amboseli he showed us so many bird species we would have completely missed otherwise. Wilson also knew Masai Mara like his hand! He was able to show us the Big 5 within the first two days and took us to spots where we felt like we could almost touch the animals. He was also very patient and understanding, took breaks whenever we needed and was happy to adjust the plan to make it a bit less tiring for our parents.
The accomodations we stayed in was also above our expectations! All of the lodges were great, staff was always extremely helpful and kind and in Lake Naivasha we were even able to spot hippos from our windows and had zebras walking under our house!
We were well taken for, all of our questions were answered, Peter was also great at communication before the trip (responding very promptly and explaining everything). Could not recommend more! Thank you once again Peter and Wilson for the trip and the magical experience we had!
