Incredible personnel.
5/5

My 13 days, Kenya and Tanzania Safari, were fantastic. I was able to visit the most iconic parks in both countries. Peter and his team overplayed their part in service delivery. I enjoyed the food and culture, and I loved the weather. Thank you for the experience, guys.

Derrick is the man, he cared about our experience and consistently worked to create a great time.
5/5

While the communication before I left for safari was a little inconsistent, from the moment I left on safari it was an incredible journey. My guide Derrick was very relatable and always had something interesting to say about the animals we were seeing. He kept things fun and made everyone in the vehicle feel comfortable. The camps were super cool to stay at, definitely more of an experience than a luxury living experience but it was well worth it. Very cool places and really made me feel like I was in Kenya. I was solo traveling but definitely felt a community at each one of the camps and in the vehicle each day. Thank you Derrick for such a great experience!

Value for money
5/5

I had an amazing experience with Pavillion and particularly our tour guide Moses

Moses was excellent! You can really tell he is passionate about animals as he had the best facts, energy and even had his own binoculars and took videos himself! He found the best angles and drove to the best spots where we even spotted a Leopard and Cheetah, 2 of the rarest ones to see!

Would definitely recommend this and thank you Pavillion Tours and Moses for making a dream come true.

Conscientious, responsible and prompt in replies
5/5

A memorable 6-day & 5-night safari trip. Peter is highly responsible and patiently explained all travel details to me; he is trustworthy and reliable.
It was an amazing journey where I got to witness the breathtaking East African savanna I’d long dreamed of and made lovely like-minded friends. I even spotted Mina, the lioness from Lion King.
The itinerary is well-planned and reasonably paced, keeping us refreshed without exhaustion while enjoying ample game viewing.
Huge thanks to Peter! Grateful for the lucky pick of this tour agency, strongly recommended!

A warm hearted guy who makes me feel safe and comfortable during the entire journey.
5/5

This was a wonderful and unforgettable trip. The drivers who took us on the game drives were very experienced. They were great at spotting animals hidden in the grass and also explained the habits and characteristics of different animals to us. The accommodation was good value for money, and the food and service were both very nice. Most importantly, the scenery was absolutely beautiful. I would definitely come back again if I had the chance.

Amazing Experience
5/5

A huge thank you to Derrick for making the second half of our safari so memorable.

From the moment we joined his vehicle, he was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He always kept us informed about the daily plans, happily answered our many questions, and shared fascinating insights about the wildlife, parks, and local area throughout the trip.

What really stood out was his experience and remarkable ability to spot animals. Thanks to his sharp eye and expertise, we enjoyed some amazing wildlife sightings that we might otherwise have missed. He also created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere in the group, making long days on safari both fun and comfortable.

Our visits to Lake Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli were fantastic, and Derrick played a big part in making those experiences so special.

We would highly recommend Derrick to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated safari guide. He truly helped turn a great trip into an unforgettable one.

Derrick was very knowledgeable about all of the different animals and fun facts.
5/5

This tour was very well structured and every day offered something different. The hotel pick up makes it safe and easy to get to the location. Even though the road conditions are poor Derrick made us feel very safe as he is very skilled driver. He is also completely fluent in English and easy to understand. He is knowledgeable not only about all of the wild animals but also many different facts about Kenya. He was able to answer every question we had. This safari offered a very fair price and included everything you need in it (food, water, transportation, shelter). The additional activities are all worth it and an absolute blast. I did every activity and never once regretted a thing. Every day was a new adventure between Safari game drives, beautiful landscapes, easy hikes to see animas up close, and beautiful bike rides. The route of the safari made a lot of sense as our first drive was long to Maasai Mara then each additional drive slowly brought us closer to Nairobi. If you ever wanted to do something different or realize that you like one park better than another you can request to make changes and they will do everything they can to try and accommodate you. All of the locals are very friendly and happy to see tourists. People would constantly wave and say hi. Finally, during the long drives you have some of the most beautiful views along with local villages. It gives you the true Kenyan experience! (I did the 5 day safari. 2 days in Maasai Mara, 1 in Lake Nakuru, 1 in Hells Gate, and then back home)
