"I always take the time to write honest, thorough reviews because I benefit greatly from the tripadvisor community for their advice! We just finished a 6-day Kenya circuit safari (Amboseli, Nairasha, Nakuru, MM) organized by Carolyn at Pallid; Lee was our guide. Let me start by saying how it ended: I sobbed when saying goodbye to our guide. Seriously. Somehow I found Pallid through tripadvisor and contacted Carolyn who worked with us to plan the trip. I say "planning" but Carolyn did all the work - deciding the route, selecting our accommodations, etc. She gave us various choices but generally we went with what she recommended, and she was spot on in selecting terrific national parks (I think we went to four separate ones) and lodges/camps."

Just finished a 2 night solo safari trip with Pallid Safaris at Amboseli and couldn’t be happier! I’ve been on a few safaris before and know that I prefer smaller camps/lodges with good food and nice design. Carolyn listened to what I wanted and suggested Tawi lodge which was perfect and included things like bushwalks and sundowners as well as drinks. My guide Lee, was also a kind and safe driver who designed the trip based on what I was interested to see. Also I appreciated that Pallid only has 4x4 jeeps as I’ve seen plenty of vans in ditches on the side of the road. Overall a great value and would use them again!."

We are a French family of five, travelling with three children aged 10, 7, and 6, and we did an 11-day trip to Kenya in December 2025 / January 2026 with Pallid Safaris. From start to finish, the experience was absolutely perfect. A very special mention goes to Carolyn, who organised the entire trip. All the logistics, bookings, accommodations, transfers, and activities were handled flawlessly. Everything went exactly as planned, and the communication was excellent throughout the preparation phase and during the trip. We always felt reassured, listened to, and very well taken care of. Our itinerary was perfectly balanced and incredibly rich: we explored Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, and Tsavo East, before ending the trip with two wonderful days relaxing at the beach in Diani."
