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.

Well Beyond the Plain Kenya/Tanzania Safari
The tour well exceeded our expectations with very professional guiding, trip organization, a good variety of cultural, animal viewing and luxurious accommodations. Our favourite lodging was the glam camping in the Serengeti surrounded by animals. We loved the sunrise balloon ride to see herds of migrating animals over the Masai Mara and we were blown away meeting the bushmen tribes in Tanzania.
We were able to customize our trip and a short plane ride was much appreciated to reduce road travel between the two countries. Our guides were very knowledgeable regarding the wildlife and many times we found ourselves close up with ever unfolding animal scenes and behaviors.
In general our expectations were exceeded by the great service, welcoming faces and flexibilty of all these people.

Incredible, complete and affordable private safari
We had a short trip, only 4 days and just 2 people, but it couldn’t have been more complete. We visited Naivasha, Hell’s Gate, Crescent Island, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara, and managed to do everything we wanted and even more.
Before booking, we compared many different companies, and Antonio Safaris offered us the best price and the most flexibility. They tailored the itinerary, activities, accommodation and budget exactly to our needs. In our case, the whole experience cost approximately $1,300–1,500 USD per person, even though there were only two of us and the safari was completely private. Everything was included: accommodation, all meals, transportation, park fees, activities and our guide. We didn’t have to pay for any unexpected extras during the trip, apart from the tips we voluntarily chose to give, which came to around $50 USD per person in total.
We especially want to mention Edna, who organized everything for us. She always replied incredibly quickly, was absolutely lovely and adjusted the trip as many times as necessary until it was exactly what we wanted. Everything went perfectly.
Our guide, Michaell, was with us throughout the four days. The agency offered us the option of having a Spanish-speaking guide, which we really appreciated. He drove for many hours, explained everything in detail and made a huge effort to find all the animals for us.
We saw zebras, thousands of wildebeest, many different types of antelope, buffalo, warthogs (the famous “Pumba”), giraffes, elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles and countless birds, including ostriches, pelicans and flamingos. The most incredible thing was that we saw all of them several times and from less than 10 metres away, some even much closer. We had been on safaris in other countries before, but we had never seen so many animals or been able to see them from so close. The vehicle was also safe, comfortable and offered excellent visibility.
10/10 for the organization, service, guide, experience and value for money. We couldn’t be happier and would 100% recommend Antonio Safaris.

The trip of a lifetime!
This was one of the best trips we have ever been on. Not just because we got to see the wild mountain gorillas of Uganda but also because we got to meet a new friend in our awesome guide Freeman. I can't remember a trip where I have laughed so much and felt so welcomed. Both by Freeman and the kind people at Bwindi National Park and Bweza Gorilla Lodge. We felt really safe and in the most capable hands. I cannot recommend this trip enough, and fingers crossed you get to go with Freeman.

Amazing
We had an amazing 4-day, 3-night safari in Tanzania, and Damian was a big part of what made the experience so special.
He was incredibly professional, reliable and always available, while also being very funny and easy-going. He genuinely did his best every day to help us see as many animals as possible and made sure we enjoyed every moment of the safari.
Damian also taught us a lot about Tanzania, its culture, history, national parks and wildlife. His knowledge and passion really made the experience much more than just a safari.
We had a great and dynamic group, and Damian contributed a lot to the amazing atmosphere throughout the trip.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, Damian, for these unforgettable four days! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent guide in Tanzania.

Amazing safari experience!
We had an absolutely incredible safari in the Maasai Mara with Axis, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Kenya. A special thank you to our guide Kelvin Ngamia, who was fantastic from start to finish.
Kelvin was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He knew the Mara so well and somehow managed to spot animals we couldn’t even see! Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and so much more.
Everything was well organised by Axis, and we felt comfortable and looked after throughout the whole experience.
If you’re planning a safari in the Maasai Mara, I would definitely recommend Axis — and if you can get Kelvin as your guide, even better! 🦁🐘🦒🇰🇪
5 stars all the way!

An Amazing Safari Experience with Kelvin Ngamia 🐘🦁
We had an amazing safari experience with our tour guide, Kelvin Ngamia. Everything was great from start to finish. Kelvin was friendly, professional, reliable, and very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the different areas we visited.
Communication was excellent throughout the trip, and Kelvin was always helpful and made sure everything was well organised. He was also very patient and attentive, making the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable.
The safari itself was incredible, and Kelvin made it even more special with his knowledge of the animals and his ability to spot wildlife. One thing I especially appreciated was that he always stopped to show me the baby animals whenever he spotted them 😂. He clearly remembered how excited I was to see them and never missed the opportunity to point them out, which made the experience even more memorable.
The service and value for money were excellent, and we felt well looked after throughout the entire tour. I would definitely recommend Kelvin to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable safari guide. We had a fantastic experience.
