Great safari for a great price.
We went on a 5 day safari and were very impressed with the tour. The food was excellent and the campsite was like glamping. The hotels we stayed in had swimming pools and were nice. The Masai Mara game park was amazing and we saw great animals. There was however a lot of travelling on the trip which we were not made aware of. Our guide Albert was very capable and punctual however we felt that often we were not told the details of the day and he perhaps lacked enthusiasm. Overall would recommend this trip to others.

Hyrax Safari- May 2022
Overall, our Hyrax Safari was great. Travelling with 3 little ones aged 6, 4 and 3 is always an adventure, but Evans our driver helped our family to manage the schedule. It’s our 3rd safari and this one was done on a much tighter budget than our other safaris. We noticed a difference travelling in the matatu vehicle, instead of a 4x4 safari vehicle. It was definitely not as comfortable but it was a fun experience and we enjoyed the bumps and being thrown about the roads (genuinely). The game drives were fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed each day animal spotting. We like the campsite, very hospitable and friendly (staff were fab!) even though basic. The only downside to the trip was the vehicle did feel a little full at times, we would definitely prefer to have a vehicle to ourselves next time. Ultimately, Kenya is absolutely stunning and we love the wildlife and wilderness, there’s just nothing quite like it.

Book with Pinnacle, Don't hesitate
I can’t recommend Pinnacle strongly enough, from the administrative team (Frazier, Jasmine, Kevin) to the Guides, Chef and Porters in Kili, they looked after me every step of the way.
I must give a massive shout out to Yassin my guide- he was always in high spirits whilst making sure my safety and acclimatisation was paramount.
The meals that they provide are great, Accommodation before Kili and after was good enough.
Book with Pinnacle and you won’t be disappointed.

Very well organised, prompt communication and good service.
We took the four day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was a great experience, very well organised, the pickup and drop-off from the airport and the accommodation and meals the day before and after make it all a very convenient experience. Nelson was very prompt at answering questions on WhatsApp and before booking, he sent us a clear plan and price and it all went ahead as planned.
We saw lots of animals, our guide had unbelievable eyesight and he was very experienced and spotted animals in the craziest places, which was amazing!! We missed him saying a few sentences about the parks to introduce them but when asked questions he was very knowledgeable. The food was amazing, really tasty, fresh and varied. The vehicle was comfortable and there were plugs to charge phones in both the vehicle and the dining halls of camps.
The reasons this review is 4 starts:
The camps were better than expected, clean tents, clean toilet facilities, most had free wifi and it was well organised with the chef and camp staff setting everything up for our comfort. However it would have cost little extra effort to make sure that there was toilet paper and hand soap provided and that the sleeping bags and pillows are washed. They were very smelly. Luckily we had a roll of toilet paper in our bag but I can't imagine what we would have done in the middle of nowhere without any. The washing I think is simple and part of basic hygiene, especially when travelling with a limited amount of clothes, you don't want them to be smelly like the sleeping bags.
There was no wifi or hot water in the hostel for the night before and after. Again, we had a sim card so wifi wasn't a massive issue, but I think most travellers would either expect wifi or expect to be warned to buy a sim card. Same with the cold water. On the safari I understand that it's difficult to provide and we kind of expected that and coped. But it would have been nice to know there is none in the hostel either.
Overall it was a great experience and we would book again without hesitation, but these few things are simple to improve and would have a very positive effect.

Both JP and Bakkies are fantastic.
We went for two tours back to back with gotouchdown. JP was our guy in Cape Town tour. He took good care of us in any way he can. We stayed in Stillness for the entire week. The amenity was not the best in my opinion. However the staffs and chiefs were great. We had the best restaurant experiences in Cape Town. It seemed each was better than the last one. Hands down for the restaurant selections. Bakkies was our guide for Safari tour. We love him. We love the two nights stayed in Dunkle estate, such a beautiful piece of property. Humala and Seasons is so so. Unfortunately, the only time we have Wi-Fi in our room was in Dunkle. We saw many animals. Lion park was totally not worth it. We felt sad to see the condition the animals in. They are in big cages there. The safari in Pilanesberg is top notch.

Excellent motivator and a good tour guide The
Traveling with Petnah Africa Tours and Travel was an experience worth repeating, the communication was tick, we were given information on time, our travel arrangements, we’re received and directed on what to do before the travel, the service in it self was very good, everything we wanted was implemented, the driver was an additional bonus, we were taken care of and our needs met. We all felt our money was well spent and I know I can rely on them again.

Very Good
I booked a last minute three day safari to Amboseli National Park.
The Ol Tukai Lodge was very good and the staff and service excellent.
My driver and guide for the trip was very good and I was lucky enough to see lions and cheetah
close up. on the second day the clouds lifted and I had a lovely picture postcard view of Kilimanjaro. For me this was a very worthwhile trip . Thankyou Lizzie
(organiser) and Boniface my guide for the trip.

Perfect Private safari
We contacted many tour operators in Kenya. We were planning for our 3rd anniversary and had no idea where to go. My friend recommended kenamoti tours .
Our communication point was Amos the owner. Very responsive on-time good communication skills.
They gave us several options to choose . They tailored the whole trip for us to enjoy Maasai Mara,amboseli NAT park, Tsavo east and even time spent on the white sands beach of Kenya.
We got some customised Kenyan attire for our anniversary. They went an extra mile to ensure we got the beach ride on the last minute.
Nice time spent would definitely come back again.
Thankyou kenamoti tours
