The most knowledgeable guide imaginable
Sharing is great! He is very knowledgeable about all the fauna and flora in Northern Tanzania and we have yet to ask him about something that he couldn’t answer. He also knows a good amount about the geology and soil!
Thanks to Shafino we got up close with almost all of the big 9! We were able to get within a few meters of all the key animals in northern Tanzania , no binoculars required. We have so far had 3 Cheetah encounters (8 cheetahs total) 2 leopards male and female (including one in the grass) and multiple male and female lion encounters!
Shafino knows Northern Tanzania’s wildlife like the back of his hand and I have no doubt that he is the most knowledgeable guide in all of Tanzania.

Amazing experience
An Unforgettable Safari Experience – Safe, High-Quality, and Truly Amazing!
From start to finish, this safari exceeded every expectation. The quality of the experience was absolutely top-notch – from the comfortable, well-maintained vehicles to the knowledgeable and friendly guides who made every moment memorable. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife up close, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and more!
What stood out the most was how safe and well-organized everything felt. The team clearly prioritizes both guest safety and wildlife conservation, which made the entire journey stress-free and enjoyable. Accommodations were clean and cozy, with stunning views and excellent meals that added a luxurious touch to the adventure.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I couldn’t recommend it more. The owner runs a very reliable and trustworthy company — you’ll feel safe and well taken care of every step of the way

A truly amazing experience
David our driver/guide went above and beyond. We were able to see all the big animals we were hoping to see, while also seeing and learning about ones we didn't know existed!
Peter organised the Safari very well, with every hotel and activity all sorted for us, so we could just enjoy the experience.
There was a lot packed into the 7 days, so we'd say we more than got our monies worth :)

An An Unforgettable Safari Experience in Kenya!
When booking a trip to Africa the most important thing you can do is to make sure you have booked the absolute best Safari tour company and I believe we did exactly that!
Safari Update Travels gave us a journey that was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Even before we began our journey, the manager, Silas was available for all my questions. He helped us with packing essentials, vaccines, and he even checked on us throughout our booking - even made sure to check on us when we arrived back to our home. Silas, thank you so much for everything!
From the moment we landed in Kenya, everything was thoughtfully organized and flawlessly executed. The team made sure every detail was perfect, and their hospitality was second to none.
The package we selected included travel starting from Amboseli Park, to lake Naivasha, then to Lake Nakuru, and we finished off our trip at Masia Mara Park. Lake Naivasha even included a private boat ride to get up close and personal with the hippos and a ride over to crescent island where we got to walk the whole island with giraffes, zebras, impalas, wildebeest and even saw python nest!!!!!
Our accommodations were a mixture of hotels and tented camps. They were comfortable, clean, and close proximity to the parks. The food we ate was absolutely delicious. Enough variety for every one! The unbeatable views of the African landscape plus waking up to the sounds of nature and watching the sunrise near Kilimanjaro is something we’ll never forget.
We had the pleasure of having two guides throughout of booking, Francis and Kennedy both men were not only incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems, but also passionate and engaging—making every game drive feel like a true adventure. We saw the Big Five (plus so much more!), including breathtaking moments with lions, elephants, and even a rare sighting of a leopard!!
This trip exceeded all of our expectations, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, look no further than safari Update Travels —they will make your dream trip a reality!

Amazing 3-Day Safari & Hike!
We waited months for this trip, and it was totally worth it! The tour was super well-organized, and Hernest, Omar, and Saloniki were incredible from start to finish. The safari and hike in Morogoro were unforgettable. Highly recommend this team!

Perfect balance: itinerary, impeccable accommodations, wildlife viewing, and exciting moments
During our safari in Kenya, we were fortunate to have an exceptional driver: Jimmy. From the very first day, he demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the terrain and an almost infallible instinct for taking us right to where the animals were. Thanks to him, we were able to see the "Big Five" up close and experience unforgettable moments surrounded by wild nature. He drove quickly, safely, and professionally, and clearly knew every corner of all the parks we visited (Amboseli, Nakuru, and Maasai Mara) very well. That speed was part of what allowed us to arrive on time for incredible scenes, such as a leopard hunting or a herd of elephants crossing the path. In short, his energetic driving and passion for wildlife made our safari an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for those seeking an exciting and well-guided adventure!

Great time
We had a wonderful experience on the safari. Pavilion Safaris made fantastic arrangements for us, especially Peter and our guide. There are no words to describe their punctuality and the quality of the accommodations. Additionally, I have to mention that mobile phone coverage was fantastic in all the parks.

Perfect family experience
Amazing in every way for our family of four with kids aged 14 and 11. Petra setup a wonderful 10 days in Namibia at great locations with everything taken care of. She was also wonderful adjusting things to meet our needs.
Our guide, Lownan, was fabulous. We could not have asked for a better experience as he showed us all the main sites and the sides of Namibia most tourists never see. 5 stars for Petra. 5 stars for Lownan. 5 stars for Nature Travel Namibia.
