One of the best experiences of my life !
I highly recommend booking your safari with Pavillons Safaris and Tours. After researching and comparing several safari companies, I found them to offer a great balance between quality and price.
We did a 6-day safari in Kenya, and overall, we were very happy with the itinerary, the accommodations, and the vehicle. The team was also very responsive and quick to answer all our questions before and during the trip.
A small tip regarding the itinerary: I wouldn’t particularly recommend the guided walk in Naivasha National Park. In our experience, it wasn’t the best value for money compared with the other activities included in the safari.
One of the main highlights of our trip was definitely our guide, Moussa. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and the different places we visited, very funny, and genuinely dedicated to making our trip a success. His passion and good mood really made a difference.
A big thank you to Moussa and the whole Pavillons Safaris and Tours team for an unforgettable experience!

Amazing Safari Experience with Our Guide Ahmed
We had a wonderful safari experience, and a big thank you to our driver and guide, Ahmed!
Over the past few days, Ahmed drove for many hours and took us to different areas to look for wildlife. He was patient, experienced, and always did his best to help us find animals. Thanks to him, we were able to see so many amazing animals and enjoy some truly memorable moments during the trip.
Ahmed was also friendly, reliable, and knowledgeable throughout the journey. We really appreciated all his hard work and would highly recommend him to anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

We had a wonderful and memorable safari and were very satisfied with the whole experience.
We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, as well as the Ugly Five, which made the trip even more special.
Of course, we had also hoped to witness some rare moments in the wild, such as hunting, mating, or other dramatic animal interactions. But we completely understand that this is nature, not a show, and seeing those moments is simply a matter of luck. Not seeing them did not take away from our experience or our satisfaction with the safari at all.
A special thanks to our guide, Jimmy. He is not the most talkative person and can be a little quiet, but we actually appreciated his style. He always knew what needed to be done without us having to ask, and whenever there was something worth explaining, he would tell us. He was reliable, patient and responsible throughout the trip.
One small incident at the end of our journey really showed us Jimmy’s professionalism. When we arrived in Nairobi, Jimmy first took us to the correct hotel based on the location I had sent him. I mistakenly thought it was the wrong place and asked him to take us to another hotel. Only when we tried to check in did we realize that the first hotel had actually been the right one. Jimmy had already left for about ten minutes, but when I contacted him on WhatsApp, he came straight back without any complaint, picked us up again and drove us to the correct hotel. He even checked with us afterward to make sure everything was right and that we were comfortable.
For us, that says a lot about a guide. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and unforgettable safari, and we were genuinely happy to have Jimmy as our guide. Thank you, Jimmy!

An amazing trip with Serengeti Savanna Adventures!
We had a fantastic trip and look back on it with wonderful memories. Our driver and guide, Adrian, was excellent. He knew exactly where to find the wildlife and made our safari unforgettable.
We were also very happy with Erick. Whenever we wanted to change something in our itinerary, he was flexible, helpful, and arranged it for us. We really appreciated this personal approach.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and highly recommend Serengeti Savanna Adventures. Thank you, Adrian and Erick, for such a wonderful trip!

Best operators who exactly know the entire landscape of Masai Mara
Amazing operators. Best possible experience. Tom and Benson were extremely dedicated. They put in relentless effort and ensured we saw every single animal out there. They were very knowledgeable about the animals, the history, the masai and everything else. They were extremely hospitable. All the places that we went to and stayed in was just perfect. Thanks a lot Safari Update team including Silas, Tom and Benson for the amazing experience

Excellent itinerary recommendations based on our preferences (and constraints!)
This was our 'last' big family holiday as the 3 kids are now functioning adults! And it didn't disappoint, in fact exceeded expectations. Rob consulted us on our needs and he and his team were happy to produce a variety of iterations until we finalised itinerary that suited us - and our budget. The itinerary that combined an excellent safari with luxurious r&r. There was a fair bit of travelling but we knew that would be the case so we were expecting it. Everything went to plan apart from one leg which was outside of everyone's control (air traffic controllers.......) but Rob helped us sort out a plan B on the spot with his local contacts and all was well. Thanks Tailormade Africa - you helped us have th eholiday of a lifetime!

Safari Soles! A Trip beyond Expectations!
Safari Soles!
A Trip of a Lifetime!
Over the Top better than expected!
From the beginning, at pick up, Safari Soles was waiting for us with a warm welcome.
All hotel/camping accommodations were clean, and had hot water for showers, clean bedding/towels, and good food. They provided us with as much bottle water as we needed.
A huge shout out to our guide Goodluck, who went beyond our expectations! We saw the big five and so many other exotic animals.
Goodluck spotted a lioness in the Serengeti that led us to see the most spectacular lion family up close.
We saw a leopard up close in a tree, exhausted from a chase and eating a gazelle. We were one of only a few to see a Cheetah. Goodluck brought us up front and close to the crossing of the WildeBeasts! We were so lucky to see NINE Lion cubs up close playing in a picnic area in the Ngorongoro Crater. We saw 6 Rhinos and so many elephants!
We visited the Maasai Tribe and walked through a town to see the locals farm and live.
We flew to Zanzibar for 3 nights/2days and it was filled with snorkeling, boat sailing, sunsets, a spice farm tour, and a tour of Stone Town.
If you are on the fence..GO FOR IT! Safari Soles is truly focused on your comfort, keeping you safe, and creating a unique exceptional experience. Definitely worth the expense. Neema communicated with me for months as she sent me everything we needed for this trip and also answered all of my questions in a timely manner. If you get Goodluck as a guide, you will be in good hands. His heart is filled with love and kindness..we felt like he was part of the family. Thank you to Goodluck , Neema, Steven, and the entire Safari Soles family.

It is very cost-effective
It exceeded my expectations. The guide Simba is very high-level. He loves nature and understands animals. The camp staff is friendly, and the room can be charged.
