Excellent, great value and attentive
My mother and I did the five day safari to Amboseli and Masai Mara. Our driver Meshack was amazing, he picked us up at 7:30 on the first day and looked after us very well for the whole period from Nairobi. We chose the 4x4 jeep, and would absolutely recommend to do, for comfort and convenience.
Meshack drove like the wind and got us from A-B faster and any other car on the road. He was incredibly kind and worked so hard for us, he wanted us to see everything we could in the time. When we told him that we didn’t like being around all the other vehicles of safari, he listened and went out of his way to give us a really special day away from most other land cruisers. His knowledge of the Masai Mara was amazing, but we would recommend learning about the animals beforehand or taking guides. He loved watching the animals, which made it even more special because you could tell he loved his job and his home in the Masai Mara. He was incredibly proud to be Masai, and that made it special as well. Would recommend going to the village as well, but be wary not to be pushed into spending money on things that might not be as authentic as they say - but it’s a great experience. They were kind.
The value for money was very good, but the food probably wasn’t as good as other parts of Kenya that we have experienced. Sangura was incredible and they were very attentive and kind, Simba Oryx was ok, but probably wouldn’t choose it again.
Thank you Balu and Morris. You were brilliant and we would 100% recommend to our friends.

Very serious, trustworthy and easy to communicate with. Amazing guide!
SHADDY — we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most amazing safari we had. We enjoyed every second and never expected it to be so surreal. Balu is very trustworthy and they replied to our questions in the beginning much faster than all other companies — that’s also the reason why we booked with them. 🐅
As for our guide Shaddy, I’ve never met a more professional, passionate, well-hearted, committed and better guide in my life. He took us so close to the animals and knew exactly where to find all animals even when other groups had given up. 🙏
I’ll recommend you Shaddy and Balu Travel for all Safaris in Kenya over and over again!
Asante sana! 🇰🇪
Professional,good time manager and efficient.
Personally, I did fall in love with Balu travel in kenya. They handle clients with a lot of professionalism and they go far and beyond to ensure that you enjoy your trip and stay.
The tour operator was communicative, professional and our tour guide Shaddy was amazing
Our 5-day safari in Kenya was absolutely unforgettable. We spent 3 days in the Masai Mara and 2 days in Amboseli, and every single day felt like something out of a nature documentary.
A huge part of what made the experience so incredible was our guide, Shaddy. His knowledge of the parks and the animals was outstanding. He seemed to know exactly where to go and when, and he shared fascinating insights about animal behaviour, the ecosystem, and the Masai culture throughout the trip. It felt like we were exploring with a true expert who genuinely loves what he does.
Thanks to Shaddy’s skill and patience, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five during our safari, including an incredible sighting of a leopard. Some of the most memorable moments were watching lions high up on a hill with their cubs, and witnessing another pride feeding on a buffalo. We also had amazing close-up views of elephants and other wildlife in their natural habitat. The positioning of the vehicle was always perfect for photography and viewing, and we never felt rushed.
Both the Masai Mara and Amboseli offered spectacular landscapes and unforgettable wildlife encounters. The vast open plains of the Mara and the iconic views of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli made the experience even more special. We consistently had incredible views and magical moments that we’ll be talking about for years.
If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. With Shaddy as your guide, you’re in the best possible hands. It was truly the trip of a lifetime.

Kind
Very happy to have booked with Balu travel, they provided us with a lot of different options for a hotel/stay and everything was arranged very well. They even helped us with a train booking to go to Mombasa because we couldn't do it ourselves.
