Real Budget Safari..............
4/5


It was awesome and a memorable trip, I have contact Mr. Dennis in advance to arrange our game reserve tour. Dennis arranged everything for us very nicely. Ambrose our driver cum guide is very cooperative, knowledgeable and friendly we have not faced any communication problem.
Hope to visit again.......

Overall we had an amazing experience on safari, also our driver was very knowledgeable and friendly
4/5

Good points:
Food – it was always hot and cooked fresh, there were always options for veg and non veg
Additional add on’s such as Lake Nakuru were worthwhile paying for as they added an extra experience and sometimes gave us a break from being the van
Campsite – all 3 were very decent, bed linen, towels and hot water. Always had a bed and mosquito net and there were areas to hang out after meals
Scenery! The views were amazing, regardless of whether this was in the parks or driving across the country!
Driver – Ambrose was excellent, very knowledgeable and always knew the places to find the animals with the best views

Points to note:
Generator – power only for certain amount of time, always check before going to sleep what the timing will be
There is a possibly of having ‘outdoor’ toilet and shower
You will need your passport to get into Masi Mara Park
The distance of driving was more than expected, especially from Lake Nakuru to Amboselli
It would be good to have a map to understand distances covered and the different areas
Be prepared to be sold merchandise at each stop/break
Collection at the airport was confusing. Had to call and text Dennis (an international call!)

3-day safari in Masai Mara fantastic, day trips in Nairobi bit disappointing.
4/5

We booked our trips with BB Safaris on arrival in Nairobi. Our day trips in Nairobi to the elephant orphanage and giraffe centre were good and well worth the visit but the 1-day safari to Nairobi National Park was disappointing with a 'driver' rather than a 'guide'. Our 4 hour schedule was reduced to 3 hours with an unplanned, and quite frankly, unwanted visit to a snake centre. I didn't enjoy the day which is why I've scored 4 instead of 5.
However, our 3-day trip to the Masai Mara was outstanding! This was mainly through our guide (Patrick) being so expert in knowing where to find the animals and getting us the most amazing sights of animals in their natural habitat and family scenes unfolding in front of us as we watched enthralled. I am still buzzing from the experience!!
For a budget safari we felt we had a fantastic trip that was worth the money.

Very good trip- wow belle aventure
4/5

We did 2 small budget safaris (3 days in Kenya and 4 days in Tanzania).
We saw the "Big Five" in Kenya and Tanzania, very kind and caring drivers / guides.
A memorable trip for my daughter and me, a perfect zootherapy ...
I recommend this company for those who want a cheap safaris, not too demanding on food and lodging ... the focus is on animals ...
Accommodation in Kenya was not luxurious but comfortable camping.
Accommodation in Tanzania was wild camping in the bush.
The food very ordinary and little varied.
Perfect for practicing your English or Swahili.
Have a nice trip!

It was all that I hoped for...and more.
4/5

I had a wonderful 7 day safari. I spent two nights at a nice, very friendly hotel in Nairobi before starting the tour. I spent one day with one of the drivers on an excellent city tour. The next day the safari started. I went To Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and Ambroseli. We stayed in comfortable places. I am a vegetarian and I was pleased with the meals. The drivers were all very competent and I met nice people. Before the trip I was expecting to be with the same driver and the same group for the 7 days. Instead I had 4 different drivers and 5 different configurations of people, but it was just fine. All the drivers were excellent and I met a lot of nice people. Baboon Budget did everything possible to see that I had my entire program. I would certain recommend the company to other people who are interested in learning about the area and want to see the animals where the animals belong.

Five day safari
4/5

Great safari company for a budget safari. I went on a five day Masai Mara, lake Nakuru, lake naivasha safari. The experience was very good because of our driver Stanley. The company is very caring about ones wishes and preferences. Overall, it was a great experience!

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.
