Wonderful experience
We just got back from a 6 day safari with Pavillion tours from 2-8 of July 2025. We were a bit reluctant to start with, as many of the reviews were local, and you never know… but after speaking a couple of times with Peter, he gained our trust and we decided to go with Pavillion. Absolutely the right decision!!!
Our driver/guide Patrick picked us up on time at the hotel, and was friendly and professional from day one. Our group (2 families with 3 kids total) was well taken care, and we felt safe the whole stay. The kids even cried and gave Patrick a hug the last day when he dropped us off at the airport.
About the safari, we went to Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. We saw the big 5, and also learned about all the other animals and discovered about the ugly 5 too. Patrick was very diligent and could see all the shy animals long before we did.
If you’re looking for a professional safari company, Pavillion is your place. They will help craft it based on your budget and type of animals or lodges you want to stay at.
Thank your Peter and Richard for everything, we will all remember this trip during the rest of our lives.

This was a wonderful trip that overall met expectations.
The entire trip was very well organized by Peter, and you can always contact him promptly if anything comes up. Overall, the travel experience met my expectations, and there were no unexpected issues—except for one instance when the car broke down on the road, which caused a bit of a delay. Therefore, I strongly recommend choosing a 4×4 off-road vehicle as your means of transportation. Although we stayed in tented camps, the accommodation was acceptable, and the food was quite good as well.

Phenomenal experience
Peter was extremely helpful answering any queries I had and explaining the whole process, The 8 day safari was the perfect amount of time and very good value for the price! My driver Sam was also extremely knowledgeable regarding all the animals and the landscape.
Once in a lifetime experience could not recommend anymore to anyone thinking about doing a safari with pavilion!

Organized and professional
My girlfriend and I went on a 6 day budget safari with pavilion !
Let’s start by saying how greatly planned it was! Although there was lots of driving from park to park as we chose a tour that covered many different parks, they still made sure we maximized time within the parks and time with the animals. We Had Anthony as our guide! Anthony was amazing, he has 11 years of experience doing safaris in Kenya, he always made sure we had what we needed and that everyone in the group was taken care of at the camps, he spoke great English, and when other guests who didn’t speak much English needed to know more, he made sure that they got what they needed, either asking us to help explain, or using translator apps.
We loved that we did the park in the off season, this meant less traffic in the park, less vehicles around the animals and an all in all more natural feeling safari!
We upgraded our vehicular from the van usually used in the budget safaris to the Land Cruiser! I would highly recommend this to anyone doing this trip, it is worth the extra money! You can go more places in the park and there for get better sighting of animals, of which we had lots! (See attached photos! Haha
We will 100% be back!
Beyond my expectations
Safari was well organised from start to finish. I was able to see a lot from from my first day there until the end. Communications were good with them checking in to make sure everything was OK. Accommodation was excellent by providing a tent experience. Whole experience was beyond my wildest expectations.

Was very easy to book and whole experience was managed in a friendly matter.
This whole safari from start to finish was very well managed. Communication was exceptional. They took their own initiative to contact us to see how everything was going. We were able to see many different animals and plenty of other local sights. Accommodation and food was good. Highly recommend this to everyone.

It's not just a trip, it's an unforgettable journey.
The first time I came to Kenya, Peter and his team helped me have a memorable journey to explore Kenya. Before the trip, Peter accompanied me in all preparations from luggage, necessary documents and useful advice, he spent a lot of time to arrange the most suitable schedule for me. I had 7 full days to explore the Safari and famous places throughout Kenya. Massai Mara where I had the opportunity to meet the Big Five in the first days of the trip, the hot air balloon experience was also very special. In the following days, Lake Nakuru National Park, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate National Park were the perfect destinations in the middle of the journey, I could not forget the moment of seeing a flock of flamingos in the middle of the vast blue Lake Nakuru, the Rothschild giraffe - an endangered giraffe, seeing the mother and baby white rhino on the grassland, the scene of an eagle hunting fish at Lake Naivasha. In particular, the feeling of cycling at Hell's Gate National Park and recalling the scenes in the animated film The Lion King is an indescribable feeling that you should experience. On the last days of the journey, I was present at Amboseli National Park, where I saw a huge herd of elephants, luckily I witnessed a mother cheetah and her 5 young cubs hunting, I saw the highest mountain in Africa - the majestic Kilimanjaro. Titus and his partner were the ones who accompanied me for 7 days, they were very cheerful and enthusiastic and worked with all their efforts to help me have the opportunity to see animals on Safaris. Accommodation is diverse from hotels, budget motels to tents in the middle of the forest - where you can easily watch the Milky Way every night and immerse yourself in nature. In particular, the accommodations all have hot water for bathing and clean toilets. The meals were delicious to my taste and I felt very satisfied about this.
There is much more I want to share but I just want to emphasize that Peter and his colleagues will always try and accompany you in an amazing way to bring you the best memories of your Safari experience in Africa. They are not just a travel service but like your friends, they listen and support, accompany you so that you can enjoy your exploration with peace of mind. I hope to meet Pavillion Safaris team again one day soon and I will definitely recommend them to my friends when they have the opportunity to visit Kenya.
