A completely trustworthy agency, great service, spectacular safari, and incredibly friendly and help
5/5

As always, I compared different agencies, comparing reviews and prices, and finally decided on Balu, and I'm so glad I did. From the start, Mr. Morris (the manager) answered all the questions and gave us all the information I'd asked him. Luckily, we chose the all-terrain vehicle, which is much better than the van. They picked us up at the scheduled time from our hotel in Nairobi (Best Western Plus Meridiam) and took us on two safaris (a short one on the first day and a 10-hour one on the second) that completely exceeded my expectations. Since this is an agency with many vehicles, we traveled in a group of three vehicles, which is an advantage in case one of the vehicles has a problem. Two of the drivers were Masai and very experienced, with extensive knowledge of the routes within the Masai Mara, always eager to show us around and find as many animals as possible. We were able to see a leopard and a cheetah right next to our vehicle, and a family of more than 10 lions eating a buffalo. We stayed at Simba+ Oryx natura camp, which was the most affordable and we loved it.

Friendly and thoughtful, providing a quality individualisedexperience

We had an amazing four days in Samburu National Park
We had a very experienced and intuitive guide who knew the park like the back of his hand and took great care of us, tuning into our needs and interests. We saw a spectacular range of animals and birds and the scenery was stunning.
Communication with the tour operator was smooth, clear and supportive at all times - from start to finish.
The mid range lodge, Simba Lodge, exceeded our expectations. It was super comfortable with very friendly and attentive staff. We had a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the river. Endless views of elephants - magical. The lodge was very well run in terms of housekeeping and meals and generally made everything look effortless.
It's setting was just lovely.

Great communication, flexible to accommodate our travel plan, super awesome tour guide/driver.
5/5

I reached out to several safari companies and ultimately chose Balu Travel - it was a fantastic decision. Morris, the owner, was extremely responsive and communicated clearly throughout the planning process. I requested several hotel options, and he provided the best fit for my preferences. I also asked for a few minor changes to the itinerary, and he accommodated them without any issue.

Our guide and driver for the entire safari was Kesaine, a member of the Maasai tribe - and he was amazing. He shared so much knowledge about Maasai culture, the local tribes, and the wildlife. Kesaine was not only accommodating but went above and beyond to make our experience special. On our very first day in the Maasai Mara, we saw four of the Big Five!

Kesaine took us to remote spots that I doubt many other guides even know about - his deep familiarity with the land, as a Maasai, truly elevated our experience. For our picnic lunch, he brought us to a beautiful, secluded location that felt incredibly special.

I also highly recommend choosing a Land Cruiser over a minivan. There were several moments where we had to cross large puddles or streams, and I don’t think a minivan would have made it through.

Overall, I highly recommend Balu Travel - and if possible, request Kesaine as your guide. You won’t regret it!

After an effort that I make to survey a tour and operator, I can describe Bolu Travel really worth my time and spendings. Morris really helpful to answer all my question . The guide, Wycliffe very professional, good driving skill and full of knowledges. Thanks again Morris for the top notch services. Kwaheri!
