I have NEVER been on such a wonderful experience as this in all my life. It's literally the trip of a lifetime. My wife put this trip together for us and we shared our experience with 20 others in four open road vehicles. What made it completely wondeful was Andrew and his crew of drivers and assistants. They are friendly, very knowledgable and took the initiative always to find us the best locations where the local wildlife could be viewed, most times, without mah other open road vehicles in our way. Our trip took us from Nairobi to Mombasa. We visited no less than 6 conservation preserves and stayed in a couple of swanky hotels but mostly in lodges with glamorous tent setups. My wife and I highly recommend taking a Safari and doing it with Andrew and his crew from Pathway Safaris.

We prebooked our safari with Andrew almost 2 years in advance. His communication via facebook and posting in a safari group was great, answering any questions we had. Safari itself and what we saw was amazing!! Upon arriving in Nairobi our driver from was there with Andrew to greet us and drive us to the hotel. Lodging was mostly good with the exception of a few issues like AA Amboselli lodge (burn that down)! There is no ac at any lodging, usually a fan. Mosquito netting and bug repellent at all which was a bonus. Always bottles of water for drinking and brushing teeth. Very rough terrain to get to the lodging once you got into the parks and reserves. Not good for elderly people or those with bad necks/backs/hips/knees or anyone who gets motion sickness. Power goes out everyday to reserve power at some like Samburu lodge. Which is fine when on game drives but not when you arrive 3 hours late with dead cell battery it sucks. There was no downtime built in and we had a very rushed Itinerary that we barely followed. Too many stops at curio shops where everyone sells the exact same thing. The logistics of tour was very disorganized with a lack of communication between the tour guides and driver. Someone was late every day, itineraries changed. Some things we didn't get to see like Masika Waterfall. Noone has any concept of driving times. We were told it was a 3-4 hr drive to each location and we would arrive by lunch before heading out for evening game drives at 4pm. Most days the trip took 5-6 hours and we arrived so late for lunch, closer to 230/3pm that we almost missed it and had to rush to eat, check in to our rooms and get ready to turn around and head right back out for 4pm game drive. We stayed at 9 dif places in 12 nights with the nicest ones being only a 1 night stay with absolutely no time to enjoy the camps. They definitely could have eliminated Samburu, giraffe center and chimpanzees all together in order to spend more time at some of the nicer places to build in more down time and use pool/spas. They were a waste of time. Also everyone was on a different page as to what time we were packing up and leaving in the mornings, and how long we would be traveling from place to place. It was as if no one did their research or used google maps to see how far a drive was from camp to camp, either our US trip planner didn't think to ask or Andrew didn't tell her. Again logistics and communication were terrible but all in all we had a great Safari trip.

I had an awesome experience with this company. The guides were knowledgeable, nice and entertaining. I had the pleasure of interacting with Andrew, Robin and Arnold and they were all a joy. I highly recommend Pathway for your next adventure.

Wonderful experience, we also did the Hot Air Balloon - a must, bucket list stuff. We also did the 1 full day trip to Mombasa, with the same company, another great day.

Living 30 years in South Africa, this was the worst "safari"I have ever been on! The 1st "game drive" was 50 km/h speeding from spot A to B. The "tour guide" drove past kudus, impalas, ostrich, Thompson's,hartebeest. If one guest wouldn't have asked to stop at giraffe/ elephants, we would have driven past them too. Per radio he was told about 2 lions and we stopped. He couldn't see them and I had to point out to him/guests. Sometimes he would laconically offer info: here eland. Nothing about the park, the animals etc. When people asked questions, he didn't know the answer. He ID 2 birds sitting in a branch next to car as tawny eagles - they were clearly Bateleurs. His excuse was that it was against the sun. I really felt for the three people being on their first African safari ! The vehicle had trash from previous trip and was not cleaned btw our drives either (lots of water bottles in the car). On the way back we had 3 bottles btw the 6 of us which were hygienically still floating in the warm water from day before. Never been on such an unprofessional tour in my life. The cherry on the top was that they refused to drop me off at my pickup point; after I indicated that I could take a tuktuk instead of a taxi back (to safe the company money). They conveniently read that such that I would pay for that, while drop off is included in their package price. Pathway Safaris? Pathetic Safaris!

From start to the finish, every aspect of our trip went smoothly. We had an amazing trip with Anrew and William our driver. We can't wait to return, Tanzania next time, and do it all again. Accommodation, food, game sightings were all fantastic. I highly recommend Pathway Safaris for your African adventure.

The tour canceled my trip at 7 pm the day before Safari as he said we have not enough customers. I had plan for my day, I stayed one more night in the hotel, and I took one more day off from my work to be in Mombasa for that trip and he just easily canceled it without taking any responsibilities. At least you should value other's time, plan, and.... He just said one-day trip is tricky and I mentioned the trip might be canceled if we cannot find enough passengers! while he asked for additional 300 USD to bring me alone to Safari, I asked my hotel reception and I found another guide that took me to the Safari alone with the same price! Literally my worst experience in Mombasa. He ruined my day as I was worried the whole day and he canceled at the end!

Highly recommend this budget minded company; Pathway Safaris. We started in Nairobi and ended in Watamu, on the Indian Ocean. Great driver/guides, several optional add-on tours available, opportunities to donate (in person) to a child ten’s community center in Kibera slum and an orphanage in Malindi that Pathway Safaris helps to support. Amazing game drives!

Seeing vast numbers of wildlife. Going to many national parks in Kenya but, not the long journeys in the vans to get there. There could have been much more specific information given each morning as to the daily plan include a timeline of when we would hopefully arrive at our various destinations and when to expect lunch and dinner. Most importantly, time limitations needed to be stated at each shopping/bathroom stop.

Our experience with Pathway Safaris has been phenomenal. Andrew has been helping me plan this trip for 18 months leading up to the date of our trip, and helped us modify our itinerary several times as well as changing the dates as our travel plans changed. He was extremely accommodating throughout the process and very friendly, kind and nice in helping us so much. On the trip itself, Andrew was there, along with a fabulous driver (Jonstone) and a personal guide (Baluku). The experience was positive and personalized to us. We did a 6 day vegan safari and gorilla trekking trip in Uganda and the accommodations and food were outstanding. I’ve never had more amazing food anywhere in my life - everything was especially made vegan just for us. The excursions were phenomenal and exceeded our expectations. Having Andrew as a personal travel agent, guide, and friend throughout our journey along with the help of Jonstone and Baluku really made it the best experience and we absolutely will use Pathway Safaris again in the future for any African travel. Highly recommend!

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! What an experience and so grateful for this opportunity to be able to explore all Kenya had to offer. The game drives, the hot air balloon ride, the accommodations, the Indian Ocean, and all the excursions were more than I expected. I went with a group of 22 and although there were a few glitches the team did the best they could and succeeded in making this an unforgettable adventure. Asante sana for this trip of a lifetime and recommend Pathway Safaris 💯.

Wow! What an incredible experience and it was all thanks to Andrew and his team at Pathway Safaris. We were a group of 23. Andrew managed to keep us all going in one direction. No small feat. Andrew and his staff were very accommodating with all of our needs. There were some small hiccups of course. Totally expected with such a large group but Andrew handled them all with grace and incredible patience. Some of our accommodations were amazing. The Pathway Safari staff were there the whole time taking care of our every need and our safety. I can’t thank them all enough for the wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Andrew and his team. Wish I could go back and do it all again!

This was an incredible trip made all the better by Andrew and his team. There were 22 of us in the group so no mean feat keeping all of us on track. Andrew made it all look easy. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was planned well. Can’t thank them all enough for taking such good care of us and investing so much time and energy making sure we were safe and got to experience everything everything we wanted to. I would highly recommend Pathway Safaris.

Great variety of animal life. Accommodations were comfortable and interesting variety. Our group was large (22 people). Communication could have been better regarding logistics. Limits needed to be set on length of time for bathroom breaks and shopping. That often delayed the group so that lunch was very late in the afternoon. Overall a very enjoyable trip. Very helpful with pretrip planning. Andrew was very patient and helpful when questions arose. We did not travel to the beach, Andrew was able to meet our needs by arranging a Tanzanian Safari alternative.

The trip was great and the staff with Pathways Safaris was very accommodating. They put up with a lot from our group of 23. Alex, our driver and Gide, rocks!
