Perfect person to make sure our experience was amazing
This was truly the experience of a lifetime. We have traveled the world and this trip was our best ever. Tongesai took care of our every need and our cultural experiences far surpassed our expectations. Of course the animals were also amazing. We heartily recommend Cultural Vibes to anyone wanting to experience what Africa has to offer!

Handled our different personalities without leaving anyone out
I was just trying out something different and turned out to be a memorable day. I didn't feel out of place even though I am an introvert, I going out hiking again this weekend.

First time honeymoon safari - briliant and would happily recommend to anyone
We just wanted to say we really appreciated African Bovine Adventures for their support and organisation from our initial inquiry to our final safari day. We went with this tour provider for our honeymoon safari and they went over and above to make it special. They kept us regularly updated, offered a good price and was tightly planned for each of the tour days.
Thank you Erik for your skills, kind nature and flexibility - because of him we were able to learn about each place that we visited and witness the Big Five along with many other different animals in our 3-day tour! His passion was evident and we came back with a greater appreciation for the wildlife and conservation.
Definitely more than happy to recommend this provider to our friends and family.

I had the pleasure of having Allan as my guide—the best guide in the world—along with our driver, Sammy.
The tour was amazing, the translation was excellent, and the way we were treated—with such respect—was wonderful. I am very grateful to Allan, who was not only our guide but also accompanied us to a different hotel—one we chose to move to for the sake of greater safety. Allan truly reflects well on this country through his conduct and courtesy. May God bless you all, and thank you for being with us on this journey.

Keen,excellent and helpful professional
Kenya has stolen our hearts! We spent seven wonderful days exploring its beautiful national parks and reserves. Seeing lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos and buffaloes was a dream come true. Kevin was fantastic throughout the journey. He was patient, entertaining and always made sure we had the best wildlife experience.

Five star service all the way and beyond what is expected from a company.
We chose Pedaso Safaris mainly because they offered a 14 days (budget)safari in Kenya and Tanzania.During our trip preparation we dealt with Mr.David Odogwu sales manager at Pedaso.This amounted to 50+ emails to which he responded promptly considering the time difference between our two countries.We kept contact during the safari.To our surprise, on our way back to Nairobi he made it a point to meet us in person,and driving us to the airport ! Once back in Canada, We noticed that one of the safari eco camps we stayed at,billed us the wrong amount for a service they provided.David took it upon himself to go and meet them in person in order to fix the problem.We did not expect this level of service post trip.Very trustworthy company.
Bravo again to Pedaso Safari.
As for the safari itself it was brilliant! Very well organized, all the drivers did their best to optimize wildlife viewing. Within the first 3 days in Kenya we had already seen the big five. We traveled through 8 different wildlife national parks both in Kenya and Tanzania.The bush camps in Tanzania are VERY VERY basic! If someone is not used to basic camping we would recommend to arrange for an upgrade.ALL the meals during the trip whether in hotels, eco camps,bush camps or box lunches on the road were delicious.Note that suggested tips,are sometimes not tips but actual income for some people along the way.Bring enough cash...

Professional, Knowledgeable, and Optimistic Guide Caleb: Finding the Big Five with Ease
Caleb, our guide, was extremely professional and had extensive knowledge of animals and birds. He quickly helped us find all of the Big Five, and he was also very positive and optimistic—the trip with him was never boring.

Great experience
We did the 4 day Masai Mara + Lake Nakuru. Our guide Robin was great. Felt safe and saw incredible things and a lot of animals. He had a lot of knowledge and we learned a lot of things from him.
We really recommend!

Unprofessional logistics, major delays, and unfulfilled services
We booked a full-day private safari to Akagera National Park with Abantubo Seguro Safaris, but the organization and management were extremely disappointing. Nobody contacted us early in the morning as claimed. The driver changed the pickup time, and then we suffered further delays waiting for a vehicle swap. As a result, we didn’t enter the park until 1:00 PM and were already heading back by 4:30 PM. We paid for a full-day tour but only got 3.5 hours inside Akagera. Furthermore, we paid an extra $80 specifically for a Spanish-speaking guide, but the guide provided did not speak or understand Spanish at all. The itinerary and included meals were completely unclear, leaving the driver confused about our package. To make matters worse, when we raised our concerns, management responded in a rude, aggressive, and unprofessional manner, threatening to turn the vehicle around halfway through the trip. The only positive note of the day was the driver, who was polite and friendly at all times despite the company's internal disorganization. Afterward, we requested a refund of the $80 for the unfulfilled Spanish-speaking guide service and have been completely ignored. We feel deeply disappointed by the company's treatment and their failure to honor what was agreed upon. Sadly, I travel frequently—this was my third safari—and I have never experienced such poor treatment and lack of professionalism. I sincerely hope that anyone who books with this company does not go through what happened to us.
