The Morning Drives were excellent and very entertaining more so with Driver Henry Boge who knew all kinds of animals in the park and their locations. His coordination with the other drivers was fantastic well illustrated the unity with the Bigfoot Family. I really appreciate all
What a wonderful experience touring with Pita Safaris. Peter was really helpful and informative. We are lucky to have found very good timing to visit this beautiful part of the world and witness the migration. We also had a lovely interaction with the Mara people.. unbelievable. We are truly satisfied and really want to plan another experience. Next time we will come back to see the Gorillas . Thanks Peter for a very good service and a more than fair price!
We were a small group of 4 visiting for our very first time, and we booked this experience with Pita safaris. Initially, we had no clue of which package to book, however, Peter was very helpful in understanding our needs and budget to suggest the perfect experience for us. Right from our airport transfer to the drive, we had support from his team. The value for money was great as we had everything we could have asked for and of course more - thanks to Peter and his team who went above and beyond to take care of us on our very first holiday in this beautiful part of Africa. We hope to be back again for some of the other wild life tours. Highly recommended.
