One excellent safari in African Savana
We are a group of friends who love to travel.
We visited Africa—specifically Kenya—for the first time.
While searching for a safari, I found an invaluable advisor: Laurine. Talking with her helped me understand how to best organize our trip, and she immediately earned my trust.
Everything went exactly as agreed, and at very good prices.
Our safari lasted four days.
We had an excellent guide, Vincent.
Vincent went out of his way to ensure our safari was rich in sightings and wildlife observation; he even navigated challenging, rugged paths to help us find more animals.
We saw many lions, giraffes, wildebeest, buffalo, a rhinoceros, impalas, and—remarkably—a leopard, which is quite a rare sight.
A visit to Lake Naivasha, home to hippos—which we added to our itinerary at the last minute—was particularly wonderful.
The accommodations were good and clean, with very polite and helpful staff.
I highly recommend Judeson Budget Safaris for your safari.

Unforgettable..
Money well spent and an absolutely unforgettable experience. The views were incredible, we saw an amazing variety of animals, and every day brought something memorable.
The accommodation was basic, but perfectly reasonable for the budget. The food and drinking water were well taken care of, and overall the organisation was very good. There were one or two minor issues along the way, but they were negligible and did not take away from the experience.
A special mention to Kata, our driver, who was fantastic throughout the trip. He was extremely safe, patient, friendly and genuinely cared about making sure we had the best possible experience. He constantly went the extra mile to find the best spots, get us great wildlife sightings and make the most of every opportunity.
We also met some wonderful people along the way and made memories that we will carry for a lifetime.
I would definitely recommend Judeson Budget Safaris and would happily book with them again. 🦁🌍❤️

Perfect organization and knowledgeable
The organization of our 2 nights safari in Amboseli and support from Judeson and Laurine was perfect, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and open to listen to us and the other passengers.

We highly recommend Judeson Budget Safaris for an incredible, well‑organised East‑African safari led
A huge thank‑you to Judeson Budget Safaris for crafting a nearly‑perfect, lifelong‑memorable East‑African safari for us.
Every detail of our journey was handled with thoughtful care and professionalism. We were assigned a dedicated, highly‑qualified driver‑guide with rich field experience. He possessed deep knowledge of grassland terrain and wildlife behaviour, and knew all the best viewing spots inside the parks like the back of his hand. He could always anticipate animal movements in advance, getting us into prime positions to watch wildlife calmly and at close range.
What impressed us most was his excellent physical stamina. Whether setting off early in the morning for game‑viewing, driving long distances across the grassland in the afternoon, or waiting patiently for wildlife late into the evening, he stayed energetic and attentive throughout. His steady, skilled driving guaranteed our safety and made every wildlife‑watching session highly rewarding.
During this safari, we were fortunate enough to spot the Big Five, together with zebras, giraffes and many other rare wild animals. The spectacular grassland scenery made our safari experience truly unforgettable.
The whole itinerary was well‑designed with a wonderfully relaxed pace. Service was reliable and consistent, with great attention paid to every small detail. This has been a fulfilling, restorative African adventure that we will cherish for many years. We whole‑heartedly recommend Judeson Budget Safaris as a trustworthy, high‑quality local ground operator for anyone planning a safari holiday in Kenya.

Absolutely amazing safari experience from start to finish. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we saw incredible wildlife up close in a respectful way. The landscapes were breathtaking, and every moment felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Everything was well organized, safe, and smooth. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience nature at its best.

I can only say this was the best trip I've ever been on.
This has been the best trip of my life. The tour company and guide were both very professional and took care of everything for us. We saw so many animals: leopards, cheetahs, lions, rhinos, buffaloes, elephants, and so much more. The scenery was absolutely beautiful too!

Best experience ever
This is one of the best tours ever. Our tour consultant Laurine and the guide were amazing and really appreciate their effort.
I would 100% for sure recommend this tour company. Wishing to travel with you again definitely.
Thanks for the best and wonderful experience.

Our guide, Anthony, was awesome
We really wanted to visit Ol Pejeta, and found very few group safari tours that included this place in their itinerary. We ended up booking a private safari with Judeson, and they accommodated our itinerary request. We did 2 nights Ol Pejeta, 1 night Nakuru, and 3 nights Maasai Mara. We communicated through WhatsApp leading up to our trip. We had a bit of a rocky start with some confusion about specific activities that were included / excluded. Our guide, Anthony, was experienced, very personable, spoke excellent English, knew about animals and the places we were visiting, and absolutely turned our experience into a 5-star trip of a lifetime. Highly recommend that you request him specifically.
Good prize, good quality safari
Looking at safaris in Kenya, I was shocked to see how much they all were. Then, I stumbled upon this safari which finally was more within my budget and I was scared at first it would be a scam. The truth is that there are many companies with these prices in Nairobi and the tour they offer is really good, not a luxury one but who cares in the end if the places you’re staying are good, the food you’re eating is fine, you see the animals and all. So definitely would recommend.
