Great value for money and fast replies
We did the 13-day Kenya and Tanzania budget safari, and it did not disappoint! The itinerary is perfect for anyone wanting to explore all the major parks in both countries and experience as much as possible in two weeks. We saw countless animals and truly enjoyed each day of the tour!
The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations, especially considering this was a budget tour. Most of the accommodations were also great, with Buraha Zenoni Hotel and Charity Hotel standing out in particular. We did encounter some vehicle issues on the first day of the tour, but they were resolved on the same day, and that was the only day affected. David’s customer service was top-notch. He was always available before and during the safari, frequently checking in to ensure everything was going smoothly.
One important thing to note is that budget tours are typically group-joining safaris, meaning multiple tour operators share vehicles and guides, with different clients from various operators coming together in one vehicle. As a result, you won’t always have the same group or driver for the entire trip. The schedule/activities can sometimes be different from the description in the quote, for us the order of some days in Tanzania was changed so that the time in the parks did not always fit the description. However, some of this allows the budget pricing, which offers the best value for money I found. I compared several tour operators before choosing Pedaso Safaris, and David’s combination of 24/7 availability and affordable prices really stood out. I also appreciated that David organized private airport and border transfers at no extra cost!
Initially, I was a bit hesitant about booking with a smaller local tour operator, but it was definitely the right decision. 100% recommend Pedaso Safaris!

Absolutely Fabulous and Faultless 4-Day Safari!
This was our first safari, so we contacted a few different companies for quotes before making our decision. We had read the very positive reviews about Mountain Warriors and Rehema replied to our initial inquiry promptly with a very comprehensive and comparable quote. She quickly answered all of our many questions before we finally decided to book our safari with Mountain Warriors. We opted for a 4-day mid-range private safari with a photographer, visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. We felt completely safe and comfortable throughout and the whole experience far exceeded our expectations! Yona was a perfect guide and Herman took some fabulous photos. Yona is very knowledgeable and great fun too; we learnt such a lot from him. He expertly navigated us to all the perfect spots to observe the animals and we had no problem at all ticking off the "Big 5" and the "Ugly 5"! Yona is an accomplished driver with amazing eyesight too! We were really impressed with his ability to spot all the wildlife as we were driving along the tracks. The accommodation was beautiful and far better than we were expecting and all the picnic lunches and meals at the lodges were delicious. We would highly recommend anyone to book a safari with Mountain Warriors.

Very accommodating and understanding
I had to bring my safari tour earlier and Benjamini from African Platinum Safari was very helpful and understanding. I managed to go to the safari earlier so I could head back home sooner for a family emergency.
I had Barnabas as my tour guide on this private tour, he was very entertaining and he was able to give me enough time to take photos. I would recommend this tour operator to future guests.

Communication was excellent and the tour operator was very responsible.
The tour operator, Aron was extremely helpful and communicative during the travel arrangements and booking. He was very flexible and provided excellent suggestions. The tour was very well run, and the guide/driver, Martin was very knowledgeable and responsible. Everything was on time and very well organized. As a single woman travelling I was never worried or concerned. And the accommodations were spectacular! Overall, an amazing 5 days that will last with me forever!
Accommodating, dependable, knowledgeable
Paul and leopard tours were amazing! They adjusted our tour to just what we wanted to do. Paul was very knowledgeable about not only things in the Safari but our questions about Kenya in general.

Incredible Wildlife Journey
Our 5-day safari in Kenya was an absolutely unforgettable and overwhelming experience. From the moment our journey began, our guide and safari driver, Kush, made us feel comfortable, safe, and excited for the adventure ahead. His friendliness and professionalism truly stood out throughout the trip.
Kush is an extremely experienced safari guide who knows the parks and wildlife incredibly well. Thanks to his deep knowledge and sharp instincts, we were able to spot the Big Five animals during our safari, which was a dream come true for us. He seemed to know exactly where to go and patiently guided us to the best locations for wildlife sightings. Every game drive was exciting because Kush always ensured we had the best possible views and enough time to enjoy the moment.
We visited Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and Hell’s Gate National Park, and each destination was beautifully planned. Kush also shared interesting information about the animals, nature, and the parks, which made the experience even more meaningful.
This trip was truly special because of Kush’s dedication, passion, and expertise. I would highly recommend him to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. He made our safari memorable, enjoyable, and something we will cherish forever.

Perfect adventure!
We went on a 3-day tour to Akagera National Park with Hermosa. The booking process and communication before, during and after the tour were impeccable. During the tour, we were looked after 24/7 by Richard, who did an excellent job and was always on hand to offer advice and assistance. The tour was conducted in a modern Land Cruiser, which essentially became our home for three days. It was also comfortable, thanks to the refrigerator and Wi-Fi. All in all, we would like to say thank you or even better Murakoze and would be delighted to have the opportunity to take another tour with Hermosa.

A Great Day Trip on Mount Kenya
Organised by friendly Charles' company I enjoyed a one day hike up Mount Kenya with
my very knowledgeable guide Leonard. Leonard was great company. We had so many interesting conversations. We hiked up to 3900 meters over 17.5 km distance and I learned a lot about fauna and flora of this amazing environment. I had a brilliant day which was best value for what I paid. Reliability of Tilman Safaris ist 100%. 6 Stars for all of them, especially Leonard.
