Experienced guide with very capable vehicle put us in the right place to get great shots.
I had a great experience with Baboon safaris. It was above my expectations with so many great photos. We were able to get very close to several lions and cheetah. Herds of elephant and buffalo, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest etc. Very good value for money with great accommodation and the staff at each camp / hotel were all extremely friendly and helpful.

amazing
I’ll never forget this very experience, the mountains, wildlife, people and the various cultures. Our leader Titus is really nice and always kind. He is a professional animal-seeker and naturalist! We’ll come back one day and select Baboon again!

Great Experience for the Price!
My colleagues and I were in Kenya for work and decided to add on a brief, affordable safari experience after our convening. After discussions with many companies, my colleague organizing the trip went with Baboon because they were reasonably priced and responsive to our requests. The pick up at the airport was smooth and we were quickly on our way to Maasai Mara (Miti Mingi Eco Camp stay) with our fabulous guide, Stanley. Stanley helped us make the absolute most of our few days in the Mara. He clearly communicated with us, was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and he felt like part of our team after the few short days we traveled with him. The accommodations were excellent for the price and what anyone could reasonably expect. The tents were clean and any minor issues addressed promptly (fixed hot water in a shower and cleaned up a water spill on the floor of one of our tents). The kitchen staff even made our team special chicken because some folks on our team don’t eat beef. Everyone at Miti, especially Justo, was kind and friendly.

Good and complete as a safari should be.
It was a great experience that I didn't expect to get from a budget tour. It was the best value for money.
Most wonderful
We had the most incredible time with Baboon Safaris, and it’s all thanks to the truly wonderful people behind it. From the moment we arrived, we felt like family. A special mention has to go to our dear friend, leader, and guide, Martin. His warmth, endless positivity, and Hakuna Matata philosophy made every part of our journey feel magical. Martin’s deep knowledge of the land and wildlife, combined with his infectious smile, turned each safari into an unforgettable adventure. He didn’t just guide us; he shared his heart and soul with us, creating memories that will stay with us forever. We’ll miss him so much.
We’re also incredibly grateful for Tekla and Kim. Their kindness and care were evident from the moment we landed in Nairobi. They were there for us every step of the way, offering support, laughter, and making us feel so welcome. Tekla’s lively spirit and Kim’s warm heart made us feel at home, and we couldn’t have asked for more thoughtful, loving people to share this experience with.
This trip was unforgettable, not just because of Kenya’s beauty, but because of the extraordinary people of Baboon Safaris who made it feel like a dream come true. We are completely in love with Kenya, and we can't wait to return. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making this adventure so special.

It’s the most amazing tour I’ve had.
The trip in kenya was so much fun. With Tekla answer all my questions, guide and driver Kioko is very good at finding animals. And other staff like Peter and Jami also help a lot during the tour.
Meet some new friends and have a great time in this trip. Gonna go back again.

Amazing experience
Certainly! Here’s an appreciation message in advanced English for a safari guide:
Dear [Guide’s Name],
I wanted to take a moment to express my profound gratitude for the exceptional experience you provided during our safari. Your profound knowledge of the ecosystem, combined with your genuine passion for wildlife, elevated the entire journey to an unforgettable level. Your meticulous attention to detail, patient guidance, and ability to seamlessly weave fascinating stories into the narrative made every moment incredibly enriching.
It was evident that you have a deep respect for the environment and its creatures, and your dedication to preserving the natural world is truly inspiring. You not only made us feel safe but also gave us a profound sense of connection to the wilderness, which is something I will carry with me for years to come.
Thank you for your professionalism, your kindness, and for helping us see the beauty of the wild in a new light. It was truly a privilege to be under your guidance.
Do not trust.
My girlfriend and I booked a 4-day-tour up Mount Kenia from the 27th until the 30th of December 2024. We made it to the top and safely back home again. So all in all the tour was a success. Unfortunately, I have to agree with most other reviewers here. I will spare you all the details of the multitude of times we were misinformed, ignored and lied to before and during this trip. Do not book any tour with this company. They are plenty of other companies that will make sure you enjoy your trip way more.
