Great value for money and fast replies
We did the 13-day Kenya and Tanzania budget safari, and it did not disappoint! The itinerary is perfect for anyone wanting to explore all the major parks in both countries and experience as much as possible in two weeks. We saw countless animals and truly enjoyed each day of the tour!
The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations, especially considering this was a budget tour. Most of the accommodations were also great, with Buraha Zenoni Hotel and Charity Hotel standing out in particular. We did encounter some vehicle issues on the first day of the tour, but they were resolved on the same day, and that was the only day affected. David’s customer service was top-notch. He was always available before and during the safari, frequently checking in to ensure everything was going smoothly.
One important thing to note is that budget tours are typically group-joining safaris, meaning multiple tour operators share vehicles and guides, with different clients from various operators coming together in one vehicle. As a result, you won’t always have the same group or driver for the entire trip. The schedule/activities can sometimes be different from the description in the quote, for us the order of some days in Tanzania was changed so that the time in the parks did not always fit the description. However, some of this allows the budget pricing, which offers the best value for money I found. I compared several tour operators before choosing Pedaso Safaris, and David’s combination of 24/7 availability and affordable prices really stood out. I also appreciated that David organized private airport and border transfers at no extra cost!
Initially, I was a bit hesitant about booking with a smaller local tour operator, but it was definitely the right decision. 100% recommend Pedaso Safaris!

Amazing safari experience for a great price, very reliable tour operator
My 13-day budget safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Pedaso Safaris was an incredible experience and I can definitely recommend booking through David and his company!
Both Kenya and Tanzania are beautiful countries and the tour itinerary is well-planned, covering many highlights.
David was very helpful and outstanding in terms of communication throughout the booking process and while on safari. Our group encountered some issues with the safari vehicle on the first day of the tour, which resulted in missing the afternoon game drive in Masai Mara that was scheduled for that day. While this was disappointing, David did everything in his power to resolve the situation and the next day, we had an extended full day game drive in Masai Mara.
Since this was a group-joining budget safari, meaning that you share a safari vehicle with other people who booked through different tour companies, David of course had limited influence and had to coordinate with the other operators. Still, he did an amazing job and successfully made sure that we got value for our money.
Booking a budget safari I expected very basic accommodation and food. However, almost all of the camps/lodges/hotels were super comfortable with good service and very tasty food and far exceeded my expectations!
The trip really was wonderful with so many breathtaking sightings and it was definitely more than I expected for this price.

Awesome experience, great value for money
I booked the 13-day Kenya-Tanzania Budget Safari and would do it again anytime. David was always reachable both before and during the tour and made a great effort to answer questions and help with any issues that arose. He seems to be constantly on duty.
Almost all the accommodations were better than expected, and the staff were very friendly and helpful almost everywhere. As for the food, my expectations were far exceeded. Only the Fig Tree Lodge in Mto wa Mbu was far below average in various respects (food, accommodation, friendliness of a senior staff member). Other places were great however and I can’t praise the staff and food at the Buraha Zenoni Hotel and the Charity Hotel enough!
Shortly after our departure from Nairobi, there were two issues with the vehicle that delayed our journey, which meant that we could no longer do a game drive that day. The issues were then resolved, and as compensation, we spent significantly more time in the park the following day, so overall it was fine.
As for the itinerary and the safari experience, you get a lot for your money. We saw and experienced so much, and I will think about this wonderful trip for a long time.
The value for money of this trip was truly outstanding, and I highly recommend Pedaso-Safaris!

a very attentive and personalized service
David's service was impeccable; he was always helpful and readily available to answer all our questions before and during the trip. He arranged a safari trip for us in Kenya and Tanzania, and we saw so many animals thanks to our excellent drivers. The budget can also be adjusted; we were on a low budget and stayed in simpler accommodations, but for those who can afford it, I highly recommend staying in the lodges, as they are truly beautiful. Thank you for everything, David!
