Economic, reliable, continuous contact, good payment terms, good hotels
I chose the option of 2 weeks safari Kenya and Tanzania.
I was looking for a travel agency that would allow me to travel alone at a reasonable price. Pedaso had a formula where people signed up for destinations according to their interests, and that allowed me to get a reasonable price. I met many travel companions. I chose the option of good hotels (large tents or chalets), and that’s exactly what it was like: all of them were fantastic, well suited to their surroundings—some rustic, others more luxurious—outside or inside national parks depending on the location, all with very good service.
The only exception was the Charity in Arusha (Tanzania), where I stayed the first night. On the last night, after returning from the safari in Tanzania, I booked another hotel myself (Palace Arusha, which was very good). After staying in wonderful settings and good accommodations, the Charity stands out in a very negative way and I do not recommend it. It looks much better online than it actually is.
As for the parks visited, they were fantastic—very beautiful, with lots of wildlife. The people were friendly. The organization and the 4x4 vehicles were better in Tanzania than in Kenya. In fact, in Kenya one of the 4x4 drivers rejected one day to take me to my hotel and offered me another one!! (whatever he decided!!!), but Pedaso solved it and took a taxi for me to go to my hotel.
The return trip from Arusha (Tanzania) to Nairobi is done on a rather old local scheduled bus, but everything is well organized, from hotel pickup to boarding the bus, crossing the border, and arriving in Nairobi.
I never felt unsafe at any time, always following the advice given.
On my own, in Nairobi I stayed at a hotel in the Westlands neighborhood.
Contact with the Pedaso agent was immediate whenever I had questions about the trip organization, as was contact with the agent in Tanzania.
I recommended to buy SIM cards to be connected to the agency or for any emergency. WIFI was good in the hotels anyway.

Amazing safari, high-class assistance
Pedaso Safaris absolutely overdelivered what they promised!
The 14 day safari was absolutely amazing. The drivers and guides were all very skilled. The safari experience did not underdeliver compared to a high-end 5* safari agencies - while for a fraction of the price.
We were able to spot the big five, but seen so much more than we could have imagined.
The budget safari does of course mean some accommodation is quite basic, such as the camp in the Serengeti (which was an experience in itself). But overall we stayed at very comfortable, and to be honest: better than expected, lodges.
Where Pedaso Safaris, and Dave in specific, really stood out was in their punctuality and accessibility. Of course during a trip of 14 days some things might go unexpected, but Dave was always instantly(!) available and managed to solve or answer any of our questions.
This level of customer service really deserves a medal.
I cannot recommend Pedaso Safaris enough. I know for a fact, whenever I’ll return Pedaso will be the first I’ll contact.
To Dave, and the whole crew that assisted us: you were all wonderful, thank you for this amazing experience ❤️

Excellent safaris
We chose the 9-day Kenya-Tanzania safari tour. It was enough to see the Big Five and more. Everything was organized clearly and according to the itinerary. The safari jeep drivers were great. We also enjoyed our camping in Tanzania. We knew the basic accommodations included shared showers and toilets, but everything was clean and there was hot water. Thank you for everything.

It was an incredible experience.
My safari experience was simply spectacular. Seeing wildlife up close in its natural habitat was magical: lions, elephants, giraffes… every moment exceeded my expectations. David's organization was excellent, the guides very professional, and the itinerary perfectly planned. Without a doubt, an unforgettable adventure that I recommend to anyone seeking nature and excitement.

The animals are great, people are nice, tours are ok
The only advantage of an all-inclusive tour group is that you don't have to arrange everything yourself, but that’s the only good.
As an average daily itinerary of 200usd, with buses still being used between cities, the hotel in Nairobi is very old and dirty. This is obviously not worth it at all.
And almost every day, people in the car were changing. They try to fill the entire vehicle as much as possible. So you need to wait sometimes.
The worst part is that the plan is fixed. Even if there are no animals in this place at this season, we still can't change anything.
Although traveling independently in Kenya is not that easy, I would definitely choose to travel independently next time.

Posted on Nov 10, 2025Dear Turkey,
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for taking the time to write about your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that the tour did not fully meet your expectations.
Please note that for our budget group joining safaris, accommodations in Nairobi are not included in the package — clients usually arrange their own hotels before and after the safari. We are happy to assist with recommendations upon request.
Regarding transportation between Kenya and Tanzania, all budget group safaris use shared shuttle services. This helps keep costs affordable for travelers who wish to experience a safari at a lower price point, though it may sometimes require waiting for all participants to board.
As for the fixed itinerary, group joining safaris follow a pre-set schedule agreed upon by all participants and partner lodges, which unfortunately limits flexibility in changing destinations on short notice.
We truly value your input and will continue working to improve the overall experience for our guests. We hope to have another opportunity to serve you in the future — perhaps on a more flexible private safari, where the itinerary and pace can be fully customized to your preferences.
Warm regards,
Operations Manager – Pedaso Safaris

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect Safari Experience!
We had an incredible 7-day safari tour through Nakuru National Park, Masai Mara, Amboseli, and the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania — and it truly exceeded all our expectations! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized.
Our coordinator, David, and our Guide Bonji, were absolutely amazing. David was always available, made sure every detail was taken care of, and ensured that we felt safe, comfortable, and well-informed throughout the entire trip. Bonji‘s passion, knowledge, and warm personality made the experience even more special.
The accommodations, transportation, and itinerary were all top-notch. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife — lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, and so much more — and every day felt like a new adventure.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend this safari company to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable journey through Kenya and Tanzania. Thank you, David and Bonji, for making our dream safari come true! 🦁🌅🦓

Pedaso safaris is a good company, responsive and they try to help as much as they can
I booked a 9 days budget safari kenya+tanzania the last week of September. David replied every question I asked before booking. He was very responsive and offered his help for everything. I am very grateful but after doing the trip, I feel like he promised more than what he could afford to promise. Therefore, you need to watch out for yourself. This was regarding the back-office support. Regarding the trip: during the safari, you are on your own. The drivers will not help you and the tour operator cannot reach them (or at least in my case my drivers were never aware of the things David said he told them). The drivers and tour operator will always make sure you arrive to your destination, but that's it.
And you will really feel that this is a budget travel. In Kenya, in the car condition and the driver expertise. In Tanzania, in the accommodation. My personal advise is to not book Kenya+Tanzania; choose 1 country and do not cross the border.
Another fact is that the drivers do not follow the rules of the reserves, they drive fast and approach the animals extremely close, disturbing them. I saw sad situations in all the reserves, so if you are concerned about animal welfare, you should not do a safari at all. All the cars behave the same way.

Posted on Oct 3, 2025Thank you for your feedback. We’re happy you found our team responsive and supportive. At Pedaso Safaris, we take wildlife respect, guest safety, and transparency very seriously. Our guides are trained to follow park rules, and our packages may differ depending on itinerary and inclusions, which explains differences between travelers.
Being a group joining safari, it's industry practice that we combine Travelers with other tour agencies to make the safari possible since its a group safari and not a private one. The claims that you were all alone are close to false since our guides were present to your requests and even showed great concern when you injured yourself during the safari even with their long hours of driving and animal sighting, they still created time for you to make sure you were doing well when needed.
We are aware of the promise you are referring to is the Wildebeest migration, which we informed you prior to the safari and even during the onset that it was a possibility since it all depends on nature,our drivers made sure to roam around the Mara river to try any luck but unfortunately it wasn't the lucky day on your travel day to spot the migration. This is unfortunate that you put the blame on us while we have no control at all on how nature acts or responds on a given day.
We’re sorry this experience did not meet your expectations, but we appreciate your recognition of our efforts. We’ll keep working hard to provide memorable and responsible safaris for all our guests.
Warm regards,
Pedaso Safaris
