Great experience from start to finish! Excellent service in every step.
Choosing Pedaso Safaris for our Kenyan safari adventure was probably the best decision we could have made. Communication prior to the travels was impeccable. Fast replies, in depth answers to questions, good information about alternatives and great recommendations.
We experienced it as being a part of the process, with good guidance from the experts.
Upon arrival we had a few days in Nairobi before the safari itself, Pedaso Safaris still arranged for our airport pickup and transfer to the hotel, as well as picking us up on the day of the Safari.
Prior to the adventure we were told not to hesitate to contact our guide or Pedaso directly, in case something was not as expected or up to par with what we had agreed on. Throughout the safari experience Pedaso safaris also checked in on us a few times to make sure we were happy and had a good experience, even if we hadn’t contacted them. This especially spoke to us as a company focused not only on selling good experiences, but actually making sure you also have it!
The safari went according to plan, and we absolutely felt that we got good value for our money, in addition to having the adventure of a lifetime.
David was an amazing contact person for us in all ways, and even offered to help arrange a birthday surprise for my significant other during the safari. He really went above and beyond for us!
I wouldn’t hesitate a moment to recommend Pedaso safaris to anyone considering a safari experience!

Economic, reliable, continuous contact, good payment terms, good hotels
I chose the option of 2 weeks safari Kenya and Tanzania.
I was looking for a travel agency that would allow me to travel alone at a reasonable price. Pedaso had a formula where people signed up for destinations according to their interests, and that allowed me to get a reasonable price. I met many travel companions. I chose the option of good hotels (large tents or chalets), and that’s exactly what it was like: all of them were fantastic, well suited to their surroundings—some rustic, others more luxurious—outside or inside national parks depending on the location, all with very good service.
The only exception was the Charity in Arusha (Tanzania), where I stayed the first night. On the last night, after returning from the safari in Tanzania, I booked another hotel myself (Palace Arusha, which was very good). After staying in wonderful settings and good accommodations, the Charity stands out in a very negative way and I do not recommend it. It looks much better online than it actually is.
As for the parks visited, they were fantastic—very beautiful, with lots of wildlife. The people were friendly. The organization and the 4x4 vehicles were better in Tanzania than in Kenya. In fact, in Kenya one of the 4x4 drivers rejected one day to take me to my hotel and offered me another one!! (whatever he decided!!!), but Pedaso solved it and took a taxi for me to go to my hotel.
The return trip from Arusha (Tanzania) to Nairobi is done on a rather old local scheduled bus, but everything is well organized, from hotel pickup to boarding the bus, crossing the border, and arriving in Nairobi.
I never felt unsafe at any time, always following the advice given.
On my own, in Nairobi I stayed at a hotel in the Westlands neighborhood.
Contact with the Pedaso agent was immediate whenever I had questions about the trip organization, as was contact with the agent in Tanzania.
I recommended to buy SIM cards to be connected to the agency or for any emergency. WIFI was good in the hotels anyway.

Amazing safari, high-class assistance
Pedaso Safaris absolutely overdelivered what they promised!
The 14 day safari was absolutely amazing. The drivers and guides were all very skilled. The safari experience did not underdeliver compared to a high-end 5* safari agencies - while for a fraction of the price.
We were able to spot the big five, but seen so much more than we could have imagined.
The budget safari does of course mean some accommodation is quite basic, such as the camp in the Serengeti (which was an experience in itself). But overall we stayed at very comfortable, and to be honest: better than expected, lodges.
Where Pedaso Safaris, and Dave in specific, really stood out was in their punctuality and accessibility. Of course during a trip of 14 days some things might go unexpected, but Dave was always instantly(!) available and managed to solve or answer any of our questions.
This level of customer service really deserves a medal.
I cannot recommend Pedaso Safaris enough. I know for a fact, whenever I’ll return Pedaso will be the first I’ll contact.
To Dave, and the whole crew that assisted us: you were all wonderful, thank you for this amazing experience ❤️

SUPER AMAZING ADVENTURE!!!
Do not look for anything else if you are after a memorable Safari experience. The whole experience was an unforgettable one from beginning to end. Needless to say, David, the trip organiser is truly professional, very helpful and responsive. Any questions since the first chat, to during the trip through the last day were immediately answered, I really felt valued, safe and cared for. I travelled solo and have also asked David to make minor changes in my itinerary and of course, he managed to make my requests happen. The Safari itself was an incredible adventure which is difficult to explain in few words!!! I got to see soooo many animals everywhere. It truly felt like living in a real life movie! The driver, guides and chefs were all amazing always ready to help and make your day superb. They were all really knowledgeable, always eagerly looking to spot different animals while also preparing wonderful and delicious food especially while we were camping... I really wasn't expecting such nice meals everyday. Every accommodation was perfect, from beautiful rooms, to amazing Safari lodges, to unforgettable wild camping tents. Everything went smooth from start to finish, David picked me up from my hotel on the first day and it all started from there. 14 days full of beautiful landscapes, scenery, endless animal encounters, daily adventures and abundant meals for breakfasts, lunch and dinner. I really ate a lot! Don't doubt it just go for it. Well done to David, so grateful to have met you and organized such an adventure with you. Truly worth every single euro spent. An adventure carved into my heart forever <3

Memorable safari adventure: good value, smooth, and well-organised
I found Pedaso Safaris to offer the best value for money for my budget 13-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania, and the communication with David was far above and beyond what I had expected - he was kind, clear, and helpful in his responses and always answered any questions or feedback very quickly. Honestly, it is some of the best customer service I have ever experienced!
The Kenya portion of the safari was especially smooth (not including the bumpy roads on the way to the Maasai Mara :p) with Martin as our excellent guide and driver - the vehicle was spacious and we saw a lot of animals. The Tanzania portion of the trip was spectacular in terms of wildlife and national parks, but the vehicle was a bit smaller and there were a few minor communication issues with the guide/driver there, including a request for specific amounts of tips that seemed a little bit pushy. However, this was not the fault of Pedaso Safaris and simply an internal matter that was resolved quickly. I especially enjoyed the Tanzanian accommodation, as sleeping in tents in an open camp was an unforgettable experience among wild animals. And despite this being a budget safari, we actually stayed in some very comfortable accommodation, with decent food provided too.
Overall, I can only recommend Pedaso Safaris to others and say that it was an experience I will never forget!

Excellent safaris
We chose the 9-day Kenya-Tanzania safari tour. It was enough to see the Big Five and more. Everything was organized clearly and according to the itinerary. The safari jeep drivers were great. We also enjoyed our camping in Tanzania. We knew the basic accommodations included shared showers and toilets, but everything was clean and there was hot water. Thank you for everything.

It was an incredible experience.
My safari experience was simply spectacular. Seeing wildlife up close in its natural habitat was magical: lions, elephants, giraffes… every moment exceeded my expectations. David's organization was excellent, the guides very professional, and the itinerary perfectly planned. Without a doubt, an unforgettable adventure that I recommend to anyone seeking nature and excitement.

The safari was amazing thanks to David and all his fantastic staff.
We completed a 9D 8N safari from Kenya to Tanzania and the whole safari was exceptional. The food exceeded our expectations and anll our tour guides and the staff at our accomodation each night were so welcoming and friendly. David regularly checked in with us and made sure we were happy and enjoying the best safari possible! Deo is David’s main contact in Tanzania who helped us tremendously and personally ensured we were well looked after. We saw an amazing range of animals including a rare black rhino thanks to the hard work of our guide in the Masai Mara. The cars were comfortable and allowed you to get up close to the animals and peer out the roof. Thank you so much David :)

Going above and beyond to ensure we were looked after, comfortable and safe.
The safari experience was something I will never forget. David was an amazing tour operator, we came across a few issues and David gave us so much of his time ensuring we were okay. Both my girlfriend and I are extremely grateful.
