We had a Wonderful Time!
5/5

Bob & I just want to say what a fantastic time we had on our private Safari. Patrick was the best! We learned an awful lot about Kenya and he was very good in tracking down the lions (which is what I wanted to see). I would recommend you to all of my friends and to anyone else in looking to come to Africa. You are the best and in my opinion prices are too low for all that you do for your clients and I hope to get back there again to see more. Take care Esther and tell Patrick we say Hello!

No effort at all
5/5

I was travelling on my own, and thought I may be presented with "sorry, we can no longer do this trip/tour/visit because you are only one person". In stead, I got, "You want to do xyz? No problem at all. Let's get going".
Food was very tasty everywhere, although beer was not necessarily cold.
The tented camp was clean, fresh bedlinen, and best of all, hot water showers, even at 5am in the morning.
Simon, the tourguide, was the right balance of approachable, but not in your face constant information. If I wanted to know something, I could ask, and he explained.
Even the last part to Lake Nakuru, with just me and Simon, it was great to have relaxed conversations on the way there and back.
I was fortunate with a great group of fellow travellers.
The tour vehicle was clean, comfortable, and great for game viewing.
I will recommend the tour, the timing and the company.

This clue is in the company name but we felt we really got our money's worth and had a GREAT time.
5/5

Everything went smoothly, excellent communication with the office and ground staff. A friend recommended this company after her two student sons and young friends used them. Excellent value.

Maasai Mara & Nakuru 4 Day 3 Night Safari
5/5

KBS was recommended by an expat living in Nairobi, and by a Nairobi business associate "local". Esther, who helped us put together the trip, is flexible, knowledgeable, and reachable anytime (we were in Nairobi on business and unsure of our schedule until the last minute). Wanjau, our guide, driver and game finder, is a rock star! He's, informative, funny and relentless in helping everyone find what they were looking for, and he shared information about the Masai tribes people and local culture. Michelle and the rest of the staff at the Ol Moran Tent camp where terrific. Take good binoculars and a long lens for your camera.

Excellent- hassle-free.
5/5

KBS (headed by Esther) gave us a wonderful safari experience over 11 days. We selected 4 NPs (and accommodation) in Kenya and 2 in Tanzania and Esther handled all arrangements with great care and professionalism. She was prompt with replies/ clarifications. She even upgraded our accommodation in one place, to our pleasant surprise. Our drivers cum guide - John (for Kenya) and Henry (for Tanzania)- were both very competent, personable and went out of the way to spot the animals for us. John deserves a special mention here- it was great to be with him. We saw the Big 5 in Kenya within the first 3 days and saw the Big 4 in Tanzania. Lots of animals/birds were sighted. KBS exceeded our expectations. A great team to go with. ASANTE KBS.

Great price! Amazing experience!
5/5

Esther, owner, was extremely prompt and honest during email correspondence. She lined us up with a private 6 day safari in Masi Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli which was absolutely amazing even though it was the dry season. We checked off every major animal including the hard to find ones like lions, cheetahs, leopards, and rhinos thanks to our driver and guide, John. There was a bit of a mix up with our final hotel reservation in Nairobi before our departure, but Esther made a point to fix the problem so that her customers would walk away happy. Thanks so much to Esther, John (driver/guide) and Kenya Budget Safari!

Budget, short, but a complete safari experience
5/5

I took the 3 Days Masai Mara Camping Joining Safari. Esther was very attentive and responsive to emails. Kenya Budget Safaris work with experienced driver/ guide. Our driver/ guide, Patrick, has been leading safari tours for 10 years hence is very skilful in navigating the park and packaging a complete game drive. We not only saw wild animals but also witnessed their stories as they are developing in front of our eyes.

Budget, but yet complete!
5/5

Kenya Budget Safaris (Esther) was extremely attentive and helpful. She responded to my enquiries swiftly. She assured me that she’s monitoring every step of my trip. Kenya Budget Safaris work with experienced drivers/ guides. Patrick has been leading safari trips for 10 years. He knows all of the corners of the park. He brought us to these amazing wild animals; he made sure that we got the best view while respecting the wilderness. What makes it even more memorable is that he let the stories of these animals unearth not only through his recollection but also by letting us witness the scene that unfolded in front of our eyes. It takes great intuition to stop the car so that we could see animals playing, fighting, hunting, and even paying respect to the dead.
