Masai Mara/Serengeti Safari and Lake Elementaita Tour with My 11 Year Old
I found this excellent tour company online based on strong reviews and was not disappointed. Edward runs an extremely professional and efficient operation and operates with the highest integrity. Every part of our trip ran like clockwork from transfers to our excellent guides. While the company is called "Budget," Edward was happy to provide custom services, upgrades and recommendations when we wanted them, though he was also very respectful of my attempts to economize where we could. Edward also met us in Nairobi both before and after the trip for a nice personal touch. Based on our interests, he put together a great itinerary that combined game drives, activities and sightseeing. He's very knowledgeable about Kenya, as well as other popular tours in Tanzania and Rwanda. Edward was great on communication and exchanged dozens of emails with me over the past year, from when I first started planning.
My 11 year old son has always had an interest in animals and the safari experience truly enchanted him. Eleven is a great age for safari because he could fully participate in wildlife spotting and could handle the longer game drives. He also loved the tented camps. We did game drives in both Masai Mara and Serengeti and got to see the migration. While getting to the Serengeti was a challenge, it was worth it to see so many lions. We loved watching the lionesses hunt!
After the game drives, we arranged to rest and see some other areas. Edward recommended the Lake Elementaita area 2-4 hours north of Nairobi depending on traffic. From our lovely resort hotel with pool (Pelican Lodge), we were easily able to enjoy horseback riding around Lake Elementaita (flamingos!), a boat ride on Lake Naivasha (great bird watching) and a surprise biking safari and beautiful gorge hike/scramble in Hell's Gate National Park. It was also good to have some activities for my son after a week of game drives. I highly recommend Edward's company and exploring more of Kenya!

Great Safari tour
My wife and I (fresh married) had a wonderful 7-day Safari tour organized by Edward. We visited Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with two different guides, one in Kenya and another one in Tanzania.
First of all, Edward organized the trip for us as a private tour, which allowed us to take it in our desired pace and to stop as many time as we wanted (for photos or other purposes). We had three different accommodations, 2 lodges and one hotel in Arusha on the way back. We had an amazing lodge in the national park Serengeti, the lodge in Masai Mara and hotel in Arusha were less great, but decent and clean.
Ephraim - our guide in Kenya was very kind and tried his best to provide us with the best positions to take photos and had a good knowledge of the roads in Kenya. I forgot my charger in the car and he gave his best to bring it to the airport before we departed from Nairobi.
Steven - our guide in Kenya was less enthusiastic, but full of knowledge about the wild life.
All in all it is my impression that the whole tour had a high value for money.

Excellent and fantastic!! Safari with Budget Africa safari.
I work in UNEP,offices based in Nairobi Kenya.After several busy schedule time in office. I and two of my colleagues were to go for on Easter holiday, making a travel arrangement was successful through Budget Africa safari. Having found this company online.They responded to our mail very faster and always in professional way. Our safari was to start on Friday and end up Tuesday for the 4 days masai mara lake Nakuru.The amazing representative of Budget Africa safari picked on good time and we embark for journey toward masai Mara. We were with cheerful, friendly and experience driver Joseph, who stop anywhere we needed to take photos. Our stay at masai mara tented camp was good and also in Nakuru we stayed at Golden palace resort. We saw a lot of wild animals including the” black manned lion” which was my first time to see it on the real Africa savanna. meals was good prepared and every one of us was fully satisfied.
Overall this was an extremely good experience and I will recommend Budget Africa safari to my friends as a trust worthy, well priced, good value and services!!

A Dream come true for a tricky customised, very short stay at minimal costs and maximum input
I cannot commend Edward and his partners more! They have given me what no other well known travel agency offered - namely a short 6 day customised tour visiting both highlights in Kenya and Tanzania. Other agents only dealt with their own country and none offered a short time like mine. It was extremely cost effective for the distances travelled, the trip was sooooo enjoyable and the service was excellent.
For me it was a dream come true and I can almost guarantee that anyone else using them will not be disappointed.
