They are excellent at providing the best safari experience
I am a solo traveller who went to Kenya with this safari tour.They are very professional and arrange everything according to the itenerary I want.Mr.Anthony was my tour guide.He is very informative and see to it that we can see a lot of animals. We feel safe and secure through out our safari adventures until in Nairobi.I recommend you visit the masai mara and lake nakuru national park,also make sure to visit the bomas of kenya,giraffe center and elephant orphanage .it was an unforgettable experience because i was also able to meet different people especially in miti mingi camp.the price of the whole safari was not expensiveand yet i was able to enjoy it the same as others..i am planning to visit this place if given the chance again..

Great experience
I booked a 4 day tour (Masai Mara + Lake Nakuru) with baboon Safari and everything went smooth from the the very beginning, Dennis was quick to answer all my questions prior to arriving in Kenya.
Our guide throughout the tour was Anthony and we could not have been happier about it, he was very attentive to our needs, always making sure everything was going as planned and many times going out of his way to make us have the best time possible. Even after my hundreds of questions throughout the tour Anthony always kept his positive attitude and made sure everything went smooth until the very last minute of the tour. Thanks Anthony.
Baboon Safari lived up to the expectations and I would easily recommend them and if you are lucky enough, Anthony will be your guide.

100% recommendable.
My 10 day safari experience was outstanding and memorable. (Kenya: Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli; Tanzania: Serengeti Ngorongoro Crater)
I communicated by mail with Dennis prior to book the safari and he was very dilligent answering and explaining me all my inquiries.
The guide in Kenya was Joseph, very experienced, professional and expertise person, I'm completely sure not only me, but the entire group had a great time during the different game drives.
When I crossed to Tanzania for the last 4 days all the organization from Baboon kept being excellent.
All the accommodations suited the price, regardless the backcountry experience a safari is.

Great safari trip in Kenya with Baboon early February 2022
I booked a 9-days group safari in February 2022 (Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, both Tsavo parks) plus a 5 days stay at Diani Beach. Baboon boss Dennis was very reactive during the booking process and all my wishes were taken into consideration, i.e. I also visited Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and Giraffe Centre in Nairobi and some other locations I wanted to see before safari departure. It was a marvellous journey with Maasai Mara in a luxurious green and many many animals in each park (yes, I saw the Big Five ;-) . My guide Mike Mutunga is a very reliable and knowledgeable guide and was eager to show me the maximum of animals. Although I booked a group safari, there was only one tourist with me during 3 days and most of the time I had the van/driver for myself. The accommodation was budget category, but that was ok for me (good beds and food) and staff was always helpful. I then took the train from Mombasi to Nairobi to catch my return flight and I can recommend this way of transport as well (very modern and clean and right on time).
So I can really recommend Baboon Safari in Kenya.

Epic journey and wonderful experiance
We have booked two weeks safari with Baboonbudget, including Kenya and Tanzania parks. That was an excellent choice for our first trip to East Africa and our first safari. The first lesson we learned is that your safari depends entirely on your guide. Because of that fact, we had an incredible safari thanks to Boniface. Our whole two-week journey started unbelievably when Boniface picked us up in front of our hotel and when we saw that our van was empty. We booked a shared tour, but we were alone in our van together with Boniface for the whole ten days in Kenya. At the start of the journey, we explained that we would like to learn about animals and about history, tribes, way of life, and everything that we can learn about Kenya. Boniface gave his best to explain to us everything, from different regions' agriculture relations between the tribe up to complex Kenyan political history. He spent days answering our numerous questions, so when he left us on the Namanga border, we had a feeling that we learned a lot about Kenya. Safari and parks experience was a wonderful experience since Boniface's trained eye and constant will to see behind the next hill allowed us to spot most of the wildlife habitat. We learned a lot from them about birds, wildlife, different vegetation and climate, animal habits, so we had some basic knowledge for every safari after this. We didn't have any problems regarding camps and hotels since we booked a budget tour and were staying in budget accommodations. Only the camp in Amboseli was below our expectations and needed some serious repairs. Still, all the other places were quite lovely and comfortable. We had a great time in Tanzania also, but we can't compare it to our experience with you in Kenya. We spent all the time in Tanzania comparing parks, people and especially the tour. In Tanzania, we had that (obviously many times practised) tour with probably the same sentences on the same spots, with no additional questions. When you add sleeping in tents in thunderstorms in front of empty tented houses, you can freely say that there wasn't much for us besides Tanzania's great food and parks. But still, that was enough. Maybe Boniface set some high standards of a great guide with whom we left Kenya with a feeling of the understanding country, culture, parks, tribes, animals, and politics. Since we didn't get the same in Kenya, we were a bit disappointed. Still, altogether, we spent a perfect two weeks on this journey with Baboon budget safaris. Thanks Boni!

Amazing . Joseph was helpful and informative
We had a private tour and our tour was an excellent tour guide. He was knowledgeable about safari and the animals. He was helpful and informative. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.

Best driver
I came to Baboon Budget Safaris by booking a Kenya-Tanzania combo tour through a different tour operator. Bonifas was a perfect driver for our group. He really stays focused on finding the animals. He knows the other drivers in Maasai Mara well and uses the radio to stay on top of all the activity in the park. He’s also nice and fun to be around. If their other drivers are half as good as Bonifas, you can’t go wrong with Baboon.

Great end-to-end service
Did an amazing 10 day tour across Kenya and Tanzania. The whole trip was perfectly organized by the team and our guides were very knowledgable, which made the drives around the parks very enriching and relaxing at the same time.
Great value for money offering options for every type of budget and level of comfort (although budget in Kenya is already quite a nice level of comfort)
Best Safari experience ever
Anthony and Mike were our tour guides for the 3 days Safari to Masai Mara. Excellent communication, travel and accommodation + food. Both guys really delighted us with their guidance and the almost private tour we got in the park. Beautiful days with beautiful people. I only can recommend the two and the travel agency.

Amazing safari!
I took a safari with Baboonbudget and had Boniface as my tour guide for five days. He tought me so much about his country and nature - I really enjoyed it. Very uncomplicated and honest. Can only recommend it if you are looking for a budget safari in Kenya!
