Way beyond expectations for safari as well as exceptional communication with company at all times
I hesitated with taking a 14 day safari as people were telling me that was a long time, however I very much disagree. The trip was outstanding. At 72 years old, traveling solo and well traveled,this trip moves to the top of the list. The uniqueness of each park, the different experiences with guides, fellow travelers and staff personal was professional yet so very personal, something lost in our modern world.
Diana from Venture was there at all times while planning and during my time in Kenya. I arrived in NBO while my luggage went to DOH, she worked diligently in getting my luggage and delivering ASAP.
People changed on the tour but for the most part in Kenya my guide was Simon, also exceptional.
In Tanzania, George from Adventure was also there to make life easy. You were guided through border crossing and my guide for the Tanzanian part, William was also flexible, knowledgeable and very concerned about your experience. Issac our great cook was also not only exceptional in preparing great meals but personable as well.
Go with the flow, marvel at the bumpy roads, especially in Tanzania, and the rustic accommodations, focus on all the beauty that surrounds you and you will have an amazing time.

Great service and unforgettable experience
We booked a 5 days safari for 2 people and we experienced an amazing trip, that we will always remember. Issa give us all information needed and answer all (I mean a lot) our question, and Lameck, our guide during the safari make our trip unforgettable, making sure we see all the animals and sharing information about Tanzania, the national parks and the animals. Thank you! We highly recommend.

A great experience without any problems!
We booked a 4-day-Safari in Amboseli and Tsavo West National Park and it was an unique experience! The communication went without any problems and our driver Antony was very nice! We were very happy with the lodges and the tour in general. Luckily we were able to see many different animals. I would highly recommend a tour with Venture Africa Budget Safaris!

Dreamlike safari
Our safari was a dream! We were in Amboseli and Tsavo West National Park. We were able to arrange the safari flexibly and even had someone bring us to the Voi train station at the end, as we wanted to travel on to Mombasa. Even before the safari started, the Venture team advised us well and the price-performance ratio was absolutely right. We were picked up at our accommodation in Nairobi and from there we set off. Antony, our guide, was very helpful and engaging and showed us the best spots and we even saw the Big Five. He was able to give us information about all the animals and always left us enough time to observe the in peace or take photos. We felt comfortable and safe with him at all times. We were well advised by Venture about the accommodation and stayed at AA Lodge and Ngulia Lodge. In addition, the team was there for us around the clock and the communication with the team went smoothly via WhatsApp.
I would highly recommend a safari with Venture Africa Budget Safaris.

Far below expectations
I did the 1-night stay tour and it was quite a disappointment. Game drives are too short in duration (overall 5 hours) while 11+ hours are needed to go to Masai Mara and back. Period is supposed to be ideal to see the great migration, but we didn't get the chance to see it, as "there was not enough time to go to the river", which is practically a matter of tour guide decision! Staying at the outskirts of the reserve, close to the gate, automatically meant less chances of seeing all the animals. In fact we got to see just 3 out of the big 5 (lion, buffalo, elephant), and not even other animals that are supposed to be present in large numbers (cheetahs, crocodiles, hyenas etc), which doesn't make any real difference compared to going to Nairobi National Park which is right next to the capital. No comment on the accomodation or food, as these are definetely secondary issues for all visitors. If i knew before, I wouldn't do it.

We saw so many animals everything you would expect from a safari!! Highlights included elephants, lions, giraffes, ostrich, zebras, hyena’s, water buffalo, various antelopes and wilder beast. The tents were authentic! Loved it!

Good experience
The Agency is well organize, the personnel is very kind and helpful. The transport it is not very comfortable, the car was quite old and since we had to expend many hours in the car, on very bumpy roads, it was a bit hard for us. The tends were just very simple and basic with a lot of mosquitoes and the mosquito nets were not very functional. Food was good. Overall we had a good experience, we saw many animals.
