Reliable and Excellent
5/5


We heard of Baboon Budget Safaris by bumping into Bill in the Central Business District of Nairobi on a quiet Saturday. We had not planned any safari tour and Bill talked us into walking to their offices nearby. There, we met the rest of the staff who were very cordial. We ended up booking our tour and Michael scheduled for an early pick-up at our hotel. The tour was awesome!!! We loved every minute of it. The driver was an expert tour guide and we also loved the fact that it was extremely affordable! We appreciate their service, and Bill for stopping us in the middle of the street, even though it seemed a bit sketchy at that time. Thank you Bill for stopping us, you made our stay in Nairobi unforgettable!

Asante sana!

5/5

This is a great Safari company and the service is wonderful. Four of us enjoyed the 10 days trip very much. The director Dennis Mwangangi is very nice and trustworthy. The driver guide Sami tried so hard to let us find all kinds of animals especially lions and other rare animals. We were so satisfied! The price they gave was very reasonable and much better than other companies. They spent hours to help us to design our trip. We would definitely recommend this company to all our friends in China!!!

Great experience
4/5

We did 5 days safari tour (hell's gate, lake nakuru, masai mara) We had a super great experience with this compagny. Hotels and camps were very good and clean. The food is ok. We were disappointed because there are no flamingos at lake Nakuru. But it's not the fault of the compagny. We would not go if we had known before. We recommend this compagny. Patrick is a good driver and a good guide.

Great experience and amazing staff!
5/5

My friend and I booked a 5 day safari with Baboon Budget Safaris. It was really easy to communicate with the staff regarding payement or money transfers or any other questions about the safari. The owner Dennis was professional and thrustworthy. He picked us up himself at the hotel the day of the safari and was very kind througouht the whole safari even after we paid, he was always available and fixed any problems within one minute. The driver Patrick was fantastic, he knew so much about the wildlife and would gladly share everything he knew with the whole group. We started our journey in Lake Navaisha where we embarked in a safari boat for 100usd for 2 people ( I think it's a set price of 100$ and the more you are the better it is). If you take the tour for Lake Naivasha you pretty much have to do that safari boat, there is nothing else to do there. After we went to the hell's gate (still in Lake Naivasha area) where you will see wonderful panoramic views of the mountains (old volcanos) and wild animals. Beware: if you take the bike ride of 14km witch we did you need to be somewhat in a good shape. Masai Mara was fantastic, we stayed at mini mingi eco camp witch is very decent but make sure you ask for the new tents!!! Big difference between the two. The masai village was interesting (1000ksh) and in my view worth it. Obviously after the tour, they beg you to buy souvenirs. If you visit the school next door, be prepared to make a donation (not mandatory but...). Lake nakuru was ok, after seeing all the animals at the masai I wasn't impressed specially since we saw no flamingos as they were all in tanzania. But still lake nakuru is a beautiful national park worth seeing.

Excellent communication from the very start. I got the best package from Baboon budget safaris. Professional people. The driver (Animal) was very knowledgeable and I felt looked after. The Safari lived up to me expectation and I can recommend the company to anyone. If I decide to repeat my experience in Kenya it will definitely by Baboon Budget Safaris. Thanks a lot.

Professionalism with personal touches: Kudos Baboon Safaris
5/5

I would highly recommend Baboon Safaris to anyone who is looking for a great safari experience within modest budget. The savings does not mean one needing to compromise on the safari experience though. While safari experience often depends on ones luck, being in the right neighborhood at the right time depends on guides' experience. The drivers/guides are very knowledgeable and experienced with the game reserves flora and fauna. The accommodations were comfortable and our individual needs were looked into with great care. My kids are still talking about our guide after coming home. Right from the moment of receiving at the Airport till the send off, I felt Baboon Budget Safari took it upon them to ensure that me and my family (with us travelling with young kids) had the most memorable vacation.

Awesome! Safari experience
5/5

We went in a big group 12 adults and 11 kids from US. Dennis managed it very well! He was available all the time to answer our curious questions at the time of planning. He was very flexible to look into our preferred hotel option and tried his best to accommodate our desires. Definitely Baboon travels can be trusted! Dennis is a very honest person who will not rip you off. At the end of our trip when I gave him friendly advise of what are the things he should do to grow his business and to grow customer satisfaction from the western world, He gladly accepted my advise and said he want to help the poor in his community. So if his business grows his desire is to start supporting a student each year(school) in the form of give to society. Bottom line this trip was awesome with a wide coverage of places and seeing big 5 in wild, the famous Wildebeest migration, lots of beautiful birds. Cannot ask for more! Thanks to Dennis for arranging this trip!
