Well established professionally operated tour operator with excellent staff to back up
We were planning for a 05 days budget safari tour and came up with Venture Africa Budget Safaris. Our initiial interaction with Martha and Diana were very cordial as they explained the various options available. Finally we selected the package for 03 days Masai Mara, 02 days Amboselli and Lake Nakaru game reserves. Martha helped us with all the documentation for the ETA Visa which went smoothly and we got our visa in a day.
The day of start of our safari Martha came to our Airbnb with two Landcruisers with 08 seaters each. We were 10 of us all family from India , US and Canada. The first day was entry into Masai and we couldn't believe we actually saw a herd of six lions hunting a large male buffalo that too from close range. The chase and hunt finally the buffalo escaping towards our parked jeeps. The lions retreated in to the wilderness and we continued our journey into Masai. We were treated to a mix of herd of zebras, girrafes, wilde beast, wart hogs, thomson gazelles, antelopes and variety of birds all together in harmony.
Our Drivers Edwin and Daniel were doubling up as guides too and the guys were very knowledgeable and cordial.
Next two days were in Amboselli and Lake Nakuru which were also the same experience. We also saw a lion and lioness enjoying their kill that too from a yards distance.
On the whole our family enjoyed the safari to the most and we had our moneys value. Venture Africa Budget Safaris is highly recommended by me for anyone wanting to have the safari which is a must in a lifetime for all.

Professional, organised and friendly Budget safari agent
Diana was very helpful with supplying information and answering our questions when we were first looking at booking a safari. We decided to book a 10 day Kenya and Tanzania safari with her, and absolutely loved the experience. This is a budget safari so there was camping and 2 busses involved, but we were very happy with the price, and what we got for that. Our guides were very professional and did a great job at locating wildlife, and being patient until we were ready to move on. The 4WD (not a van) was reliable and comfortable, and the accommodation was always clean and pleasant. We camped for 2 nights in Tanzania which was a great experience. We could hear the buffalo munching on grass right outside our tent as we lay in our beds. I would recommend taking your own inner sheet though, to use with the sleeping bags provided. My partner and I eat a vegan diet, which was usually fine as the buffet always had many options. But I was very pleased with the extra effort the staff made for us when we had packed lunches. The food was great, even for vegans ;) Overall, it was an incredible safari! We were very happy with how it all went and were very happy with Diana's guidance, quick responses and professionalism. For a "budget" safari option, she really went the extra mile to make sure we were looked after and happy. We would also highly recommend the hot balloon over the Masai mara. This was absolutely a highlight of our trip!

Great Value for the Price
Did a 7 Day Safari and was very nice. The accommodation were comfortable, plenty of food and friendly people. Saw all of the big 5 except Leopards The Safari guide was very knowledgeable of the animals and gave us excellent insight not only about the animals but also about the landscape and trees. Next time however I would do a shorter safari, after a while we were seeing the same animals. Still a nice adventure’
awesome safari
We had an absolutely awesome time on the safari. We were lucky enough to see so many amazing animals in their natural habitat, which was truly breathtaking. Our guide, Mike, was fantastic—his passion for wildlife and attention to detail really enhanced our experience. He shared so much knowledge about the animals and the ecosystem, making the trip unforgettable. We can't wait to share our stories and recommend this adventure to others!

Unforgettable experience (Familiy of four 10 and 14 years)
When we decided on Kenya, we got a lot of offers for safaris. We decided on Diana and her agency because of really up-to-date communication and a friendly price. Before leaving we also called her and asked her about current affairs and she really told us everything.This made packing easier. I loved that we met in person before the tour. We were then in a 4x4 car with a few other people and the excellent, experienced, funny and caring driver Georg. The car was always clean, enough water to drink, regular stops. He drove perfectly and convincingly on all roads and we didn't have any breakdowns, he knew the corners of the parks so that we saw a lot of animals (jaguar, cheetah), mating lions, hunting lionesses, feeding them. He gave us plenty of time to watch the animals, always found a great spot to watch and never rushed us. We are all very grateful to him for that. He also had binoculars, but mostly the animals were very close. He had a good relationship with the population, so we always bought something good, tried special fruits.
The accommodations on the way are clean, spacious, the food is excellent and in large quantities, even though we had a budget package. It's nice to have a spare with you, especially with children, because in the first days there is no store nearby.
1 week of safari was very dynamic and not at all monotonous, as the parks are very different in terms of growth, surroundings and also the number of animals. I think this package is really great for experiencing the diversity of Kenya and we would do it again.
Thank you Diana and all the team.

Amazing experience!
We went on a week long safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Hells gate and Amboseli and every part of our safari experience was fabulous. Diana helped so much getting everything booked and answering all my questions. Our guide and driver Richard was amazing too and so friendly and knowledgeable, he made sure we got to see everything we wanted too. I’d absolutely recommend.

A truly life changing experience.
We had the most wonderful guide Richard (or Richie Rich). He was well informed, friendly and knowledgeable about the parks and the animals.
He always ensured we got the best views and truly made our experience extra special.
Not only were the game drives so well planned out, we were given opportunities to visit local villages as well as a walking safari and a hippo boat ride.
I cannot recommend this company enough.
We loved Richie Rich
