Great budget safari company with very helpful staff
5/5

We stayed in Kenya and Tanzania last October and we have had an amazing safari experience with Baboon. Though we first planned to visit some tour operators in Nairobi recommended by the Lonely Planet, we soon found out they were a bit too expensive for our budget. Then we asked the hotel where we stayed to contact a safari company they would recommend and they came up with Baboon Safaris. One of their staff, Michael, a great guy, came to visit us, sat down with us and explained us all the options on the table.

Our price included transport, accommodation, food & water, game drives of course, and driver guides. We stayed in a tented camp, a cottage, and at decent hotels in both Kenya and Tanzania. On our last day in Kenya we wanted to change our trip somewhat and this was easily arranged for. The people at Baboon would not stop saying how much they wanted us to enjoy this once in a lifetime experience and they repeated again and again how much they appreciated the fact that we had chosen them to deliver it. This really gave us the feeling we were cared for from start to finish.

In the end we only suffered one inconvenience in Tanzania. Since we flew back from Nairobi, the manager took some time to pay us a visit at our hotel to discuss what had went wrong. We were offered our money back or they would arrange an activity for us on our last day. We chose the latter and we were very happy with it! This again shows their commitment to treat us as their guests. We were very satisfied with how they handled this situation.

In short, budget travellers should definitely go for Baboon! You won't regret it!

good
4/5

i am happy with this tour...but we were 8 in our car..
our driver was very helpful..his name was Zac.he showed us the animals and showed their picture in his book...the only thing that i didnt like was Masai camp..the food and tents wasnt ok...i know that was a budget camp...but when i compare it to amboseli camp i think it was very bad...because amboseli camp was really clean...comfort with nice food. with 24 hours electricity!
i hope they can change the camp in Masai mara...

Spectacular Kenya!Exceptional Service!
5/5

The trip was fantastic! We had an excellent driver, Patrick!I
had the best guide/photographer in Hell's gate, James. And very
entertaining Nicholas for a boat ride in Lake Naivasha.

The country is breathtaking! I had never seen one as beautiful and as natural as Kenya!
I had seen wildebeests crossing the Mara River, the big 5, all the wild animals I only see on TV and
never even knew existed - Thumbs up to Patrick for his excellent driving skills!!The 2 nights stay in a tented camp in Masai Mara was the best experience and my favorite so far - I love the wilderness!^^
The people are also warm and accommodating, not to mention the beautiful men of Baboon Budget Safari who took care of everything exceeding my expectations! It was a budget travel. It wasn't a luxury safari yet it felt like one.^^*

7-day Machame Route & 4-day Lake Nakuru/Masai Mara Safari
5/5

I done the Kilimanjaro 7 day Machame route as well as the 4 day safari. Everything went smoothly and the company arranged everything so my journey was hassle free. The company staff were always there to help if need be. The safari was the best part of my trip, we had an amazing guide and I'd recommend this company to my friends.
