Great Value for the Price
Did a 7 Day Safari and was very nice. The accommodation were comfortable, plenty of food and friendly people. Saw all of the big 5 except Leopards The Safari guide was very knowledgeable of the animals and gave us excellent insight not only about the animals but also about the landscape and trees. Next time however I would do a shorter safari, after a while we were seeing the same animals. Still a nice adventure’

My experience with Venture Africa Budget Safaris was nothing short of remarkable. Their communication was seamless; emails were answered promptly, and every query was addressed with patience. The service was outstanding.

Professional, organised and friendly Budget safari agent
Diana was very helpful with supplying information and answering our questions when we were first looking at booking a safari. We decided to book a 10 day Kenya and Tanzania safari with her, and absolutely loved the experience. This is a budget safari so there was camping and 2 busses involved, but we were very happy with the price, and what we got for that. Our guides were very professional and did a great job at locating wildlife, and being patient until we were ready to move on. The 4WD (not a van) was reliable and comfortable, and the accommodation was always clean and pleasant. We camped for 2 nights in Tanzania which was a great experience. We could hear the buffalo munching on grass right outside our tent as we lay in our beds. I would recommend taking your own inner sheet though, to use with the sleeping bags provided. My partner and I eat a vegan diet, which was usually fine as the buffet always had many options. But I was very pleased with the extra effort the staff made for us when we had packed lunches. The food was great, even for vegans ;) Overall, it was an incredible safari! We were very happy with how it all went and were very happy with Diana's guidance, quick responses and professionalism. For a "budget" safari option, she really went the extra mile to make sure we were looked after and happy. We would also highly recommend the hot balloon over the Masai mara. This was absolutely a highlight of our trip!

Well established professionally operated tour operator with excellent staff to back up
We were planning for a 05 days budget safari tour and came up with Venture Africa Budget Safaris. Our initiial interaction with Martha and Diana were very cordial as they explained the various options available. Finally we selected the package for 03 days Masai Mara, 02 days Amboselli and Lake Nakaru game reserves. Martha helped us with all the documentation for the ETA Visa which went smoothly and we got our visa in a day.
The day of start of our safari Martha came to our Airbnb with two Landcruisers with 08 seaters each. We were 10 of us all family from India , US and Canada. The first day was entry into Masai and we couldn't believe we actually saw a herd of six lions hunting a large male buffalo that too from close range. The chase and hunt finally the buffalo escaping towards our parked jeeps. The lions retreated in to the wilderness and we continued our journey into Masai. We were treated to a mix of herd of zebras, girrafes, wilde beast, wart hogs, thomson gazelles, antelopes and variety of birds all together in harmony.
Our Drivers Edwin and Daniel were doubling up as guides too and the guys were very knowledgeable and cordial.
Next two days were in Amboselli and Lake Nakuru which were also the same experience. We also saw a lion and lioness enjoying their kill that too from a yards distance.
On the whole our family enjoyed the safari to the most and we had our moneys value. Venture Africa Budget Safaris is highly recommended by me for anyone wanting to have the safari which is a must in a lifetime for all.

Seamless planning, heartfelt care, and unforgettable memories.
We recently joined a 6-day group shared tour with Venture African Budget Safaris, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable trips of our lives. From the very beginning, the communication was seamless, especially with Martha, who was incredibly understanding of our budget and preferences. She truly listened and found the solution for us. When our original shared group was unexpectedly dismissed at the last minute, instead of taking the easy way out, Martha worked tirelessly to form a new group for us — all within three days before our departure!
Not only did she keep her promise to honor the original itinerary, but she even went the extra mile and upgraded our van safari to a Jeep, giving us the ultimate safari experience in Kenya. Without her dedication, this trip simply wouldn't have been as amazing. Martha isn’t just an operator — she’s someone I now consider a friend, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to all my friends and family.
Our guide, Wilson Meingati, was another highlight of the trip. He was extremely attentive to all the personalized requests we shared as a group. He remembered every detail and made sure our safari dreams came true. He allowed us to fully soak in each moment, maximizing every minute in the safaris. Thanks to his deep knowledge, strong network, and passion for the land he grew up in, we got incredibly close to the wildlife and experienced the magic of Kenya up close.
Wilson takes great pride in his work — always going above and beyond, offering help, advice, and even entertainment. He brought our group together like a family. We laughed, sang, danced, and created memories we’ll cherish forever. It’s rare to find someone who can spark such great chemistry within a group, but Wilson did just that.
The accommodations were also thoughtfully selected and made the experience even more special:
- Flair Experience Camp in Masai Mara was outstanding — luxurious, with delicious four-course meals and 24/7 electricity (a rare bonus in the area).
- Eldorado Rustic Garden Hotel was a gem — beautiful pool, cozy atmosphere, and delicious, well-prepared meals.
- Nyati Camp in Amboseli offered breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro. The independent chalets were huge, clean, and very comfortable.
All of this wouldn’t have come together so perfectly without Martha’s impeccable planning and care. Thank you, Venture African Budget Safaris, Martha, and Wilson, for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommended!
