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, 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.

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.

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.

Very thankful that I found WET to organize our trip to Arusha NP
Out of 5 Tour Operators I contacted, WET answered with the best offer for a 1 day trip to the Arusha NP. And they also delivered :) It was a very good experience.

Fantastic Four Seasons Stay
We had an absolutely fantastic three-night stay at Four Seasons with Sere Safari. From start to finish, everything was excellent, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations.
We were fortunate enough to have two fantastic guides who were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the wildlife and the surrounding area. The guided drives were undoubtedly the highlight of our stay. We saw four of the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo — with only the rhino eluding us. The guides went above and beyond to make every drive exciting and memorable, while also sharing so much knowledge about the animals and the ecosystem.
The entire experience, from the accommodation and service to the safari drives, was exceptional. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to safari and would highly recommend Sere Safari to anyone looking for a truly memorable experience.

Excellent and very professional
We were collected and later returned to our hotel, but in the mean time we were escorted through the boarder procedure and collected by our guide Cilo who gave us the most informative walking tour of the falls. We were given lots of time and shown the best spots to take the most memorable photographs. In time we were taken to the helicopter for a airborne view of the falls which is a must do.
Then lunch and back to the boarder for the drive home. This was all faultless from start to finish. Brilliant.

Friendly and well willing
We enjoyed our time in Kenya very much. The Safaris were world class and we have seen more animals than we could hope for. Some things which could be improved; the amount of different drivers (4 in 8) days were a bit much. Also the changing of people in the Safari jeeps during the days. For example the first day we had to change people 3 times, this did not give the idea the combination of people in the jeep was planned before and had to change because of different itineraries.
And last, sometimes the driver asked where to go as if they were not told exactly what to do, so we had to look it up multiple times, or another example, they dropped us at the wrong hotel. After checking the itinerary we told the guides and it was no problem and they fixed it right away and dropped us at the right hotel.
And that was the thing, it got fixed every time, which was good. But we felt that if they got a little more information in beforehand of which people to bring to which place. It would feel more streamlined.
Overall the experience was great, thank you for this.

Great trip!
Willy was a great guide! He gave us a very fair rate of 24000 for his services to take us around Nairobi national park, and was able to use his experience to make sure we saw all the different animals there! It is hard to control all the factors of safari but finding a guide that can think quickly of different plans to give you a phenomenal experience is the most imprtant and Willy was able to do this!
