Excellent Service, Prompt Communication
Morris was extremely helpful and even answered our call at 4:30 a.m. when our hot air balloon operator was running late to pick us up. Very prompt and professional response from Balu Travel. Our driver and guide, Bryan, was outstanding—knowledgeable, patient, and always positioning the vehicle perfectly so we could capture the best shots of the wildlife. We would highly recommend him for your booking.
The only aspect we felt could be improved on the onward journey was the number of stops, which led us to reach Masai Mara quite late. We’re not sure if this is common across all operators, but we’re happy to give Balu Travel and Bryan the benefit of the doubt.

Very attentive
We went to Crescent Island from Nairobi. Everything was organized perfectly!

An absolutely flawless safari experience — this tour operator delivered top-notch service from start
Balu Travel exceeded all our expectations — from the very first message to the final drop-off, their team was professional, responsive, and truly passionate about what they do. Communication was smooth and prompt, every detail of our Masai Mara safari was thoughtfully arranged, and we felt safe, cared for, and completely immersed in the experience. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, the accommodations were comfortable and scenic, and the game drives were unforgettable — we saw the 3 out of Big Five and so much more. The value for money was outstanding, with no hidden costs and excellent service throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend Balu Travel to anyone looking for a reliable, top-quality safari operator in Kenya. Thank you for making our dream adventure come true!

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