well organized and safely enough.
we joined the safari trip from the end of March to the beginning of April, we enjoyed the trip a lot. It is raining season, but in our case it rains someday only at night, it is sunny in the day time so we can enjoy the view. It is after the breeding season, we saw many babies which are super cute. the temperature is just right, not hot. not too many tourist, not crowded. the price is reasonable, the trip is well recognized, and our guide Martin is so nice. It is also a good chose to go in March and April, and I highly recommend Pavillion Safaris .

Well planned, packed itinerary with responsive operator and knowledgeable guides
Had the best time on our safari through Kenya and Tanzania organized by Pavillion Safaris! Peter was responsive and helpful, and constantly checking in on how we were through the 10 day safari. Our guides were very knowledgeable, and excellent drivers. Our guide in Kenya, Boniface helped us identify birds, told us the history of the parks we went through, and always checked in to see if any of the members in his van needed support. We took the van option in Kenya and a jeep in Tanzania, and they were both very comfortable. When we had questions, both Peter and our guides were available to help and answer, including stopping at ATMs to withdraw extra cash, getting SIM cards etc. Peter was also very accommodating to our amended itinerary since we planned to fly to Zanzibar on day 11 instead of returning by car to Nairobi as suggested on the trip.
To note: there are many 8+ hours of driving days in the safari, some primarily spent in game drives through national parks, others on getting from one park to another. The guides/drivers are incredible drivers, and even though the roads aren't always perfect, I never felt motion sickness through the trip. One recommendation would be to bring face masks, as some of the parks are windy and dusty.
The accommodations and food both in Kenya and Tanzania were adequate. In Kenya, we stayed in large campsites with regular beds, washrooms, and hot showers. Lunch was packed (sandwich + fruits and juice), and dinner and breakfast were served at the campsites. In Tanzania, we stayed in regular tents on a campground with shared bathroom facilities. All meals in Tanzania were served hot and fresh.
Do mention any dietary restrictions to the guides and Peter ahead of time - they do their best to accommodate them but it's not always available. As a vegetarian, I had no trouble with food throughout the trip, although a vegan in our group had more struggle for a day or two.
Overall, I'd highly recommend Pavillion Safaris, organized by Peter, and both Boniface and Rueben, our guides through the safari.

Pretty nice trip.
It’s a perfect team. Peter provided timely suggestions and feedback during the itinerary planning process, helping us finalize a perfect itinerary. Titus and Benard were extremely conscientious throughout the entire tour. They were always able to get the latest information about the animals at the first moment, which not only enabled us to see all kinds of animals, but even witness hunting. At the same time, their wit, humor and friendliness made our entire journey more enjoyable.

Was very easy to book and whole experience was managed in a friendly matter.
This whole safari from start to finish was very well managed. Communication was exceptional. They took their own initiative to contact us to see how everything was going. We were able to see many different animals and plenty of other local sights. Accommodation and food was good. Highly recommend this to everyone.
Beyond my expectations
Safari was well organised from start to finish. I was able to see a lot from from my first day there until the end. Communications were good with them checking in to make sure everything was OK. Accommodation was excellent by providing a tent experience. Whole experience was beyond my wildest expectations.

Phenomenal experience
Peter was extremely helpful answering any queries I had and explaining the whole process, The 8 day safari was the perfect amount of time and very good value for the price! My driver Sam was also extremely knowledgeable regarding all the animals and the landscape.
Once in a lifetime experience could not recommend anymore to anyone thinking about doing a safari with pavilion!
