Extremely professional, good communication, punctual, we highly recommend!
My boyfriend and I went with Baboon Safari on the recommendation of some friends of ours, as they had already done the programme with them and really enjoyed it - our experience was identical: they always arrived on time, kept in constant contact with us via WhatsApp and answered all our questions. We had only booked a 3-day safari, but we regretted not staying longer, because it was completely worth it! This experience was only possible thanks to our fantastic guide, Boni (the younger one): extremely professional, careful, and knowledgeable about the terrain and wildlife, we highly recommend him! For financial reasons, we chose the budget option and it was very peaceful. This option only has two drawbacks: 1 - sometimes we ran out of water and electricity (but Baboon quickly found a solution) and 2 - the food was quite repetitive and limited in choice. Overall, we really enjoyed it and hope to repeat it soon.

Professional, punctual & responsive
The entire tour was handled with utmost professionalism & punctuality. The rates as offered were significantly economical than other tour operators, but need not worry, the operator is legit & the experience is at par. They also offer customisation, so highly recommend doing 1 group & 1 private safari. Overall, my association (although I was sceptical at first) with them has been amazing & the team has been really responsive to any queries / questions / help that one may have or require.
Masai Mara Experience 100/10 - extra marks because we not only saw big 5, but could also watch the Chettah hunt its prey live & devour it, all thanks to the safari driver.
Lake Naivasha 9/10
Lake Nakuru 10/10

An unreliable trip with a severe overload of passengers in the vehicle
First of all, I need to clarify that the scenery I saw during this trip to Kenya was very beautiful. However, the services provided by travel agencies are extremely unreliable. The travel agency originally said there would be no more than six passengers on the bus, but they ended up arranging seven adults and two children. This family of Indian tourists with children was extremely noisy and almost treated the bus as their own private car, which was very impolite! The travel agency doesn't seem to consider children as "human beings". The children sat on adults throughout the journey or were crying and fussing. They didn't have their own seats.
I think that when travel agencies encounter such passengers, they should allocate personnel based on the number of people. Are children no longer human beings? Don't children need seats? Why let this extra child affect others' travel experience? We can only squeeze in the middle of the last row, which is ten times more dangerous and crowded!
Besides, the tour guide and driver on the bus are not fixed. When your itinerary changes compared to others, you will be "sold" to another tour guide, and you don't know at what time the next tour guide will come to pick you up the next day. This is a very nerding thing. Moreover, once you have paid, the travel agency will not reply to any of your messages.
All in all, the irresponsible behavior of the travel agency made me dissatisfied with this trip. Overloading of personnel not only leads to a noisy environment inside the vehicle but also poses a threat to personal safety. I'm really speechless.

Posted on Oct 14, 2025Dear Chen
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate your honest comments and are very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.First and foremost, we are glad that you enjoyed the beauty and scenery of Kenya — it is indeed a special destination, and we’re pleased that part of your journey left a positive impression.Regarding your concerns about the number of passengers and the situation with the children onboard, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and discomfort this caused. Our shared group tours are designed to accommodate a maximum of seven passengers per vehicle. Every traveler — including children — should have a proper seat, in this case the children were toddlers and the parents had communicated that they would sit on their lap.We accomodated their humble request ,which turned out to not favour the group.
We also acknowledge your comments about the changes in guides and communication. During group safaris, itinerary adjustments sometimes require coordination between different guides and vehicles. We apologize if this process felt confusing or unorganized and for any delays in responding to your messages after payment.
Please be assured that your feedback has been shared with our operations and customer service teams so that such incidents do not happen again. We truly value every guest’s comfort, safety, and satisfaction, and your experience will help us improve our service delivery.

“Perfect Safari – Seamless Planning & Exceptional Guiding!”
We had the most amazing safari in Maasai Mara and Amboseli for 6 days with Baboon Budget Safaris. The team, especially Ms. Jemima and Ms. Elsenbrown, were wonderful from the start — responsive, patient, and caring in every detail of planning.
Our guide Mr. Anthony was the heart of our experience. With his keen eye, deep understanding of wildlife, and outstanding driving skills, we enjoyed incredible sightings of lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and many more. His timing and knowledge of routes made each game drive special.
Beyond his skills, Anthony’s friendly nature, sense of humor, and genuine care made the safari unforgettable. By the end, he felt like brother.
We highly recommend Baboon Budget Safaris for anyone looking for a professional, personal, and truly memorable safari experience.
