Best trip ever
5/5

This was a once in a lifetime trip for us and I am so glad we chose Drones Africa Safaris. From our first interaction with Lizzy we knew we were in good hands. She answered all of our questions patiently and was very accommodating in planning the exact itinerary we needed. Our guides, Jose were the best that we could have hoped for. They were friendly, charming, and obviously very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife in the Mara Nakuru and Amboseli . We felt like a part of the family after 6 days, and we were sad to say goodbye to them. If you are looking for a smaller safari company that will treat you well and customize a trip exactly to your specifications, you should absolutely choose Drones Africa Safaris.

Soloman the star
5/5

First I would say these guys Dennis, soloman and Lizzie are absolutely professionals, they donot have any loose ends.. they treat u as family..
As we were couple and bit hesitant in the beginning they helped us out to plan the trip supported us and gave us the confidence, we had a seven day tour with them and our guide was soloman and I would say he will do anything to get you the best sights in the Safari and guide u to the perfect locations. And Mr Dennis and Ms Lizzie were absolutely gems , what ever they do they do it as professionals no hidden costs, they said all the details of extra activities before we started our journey from the home country.

Incredible experience, exceeded our expectations!
5/5

Lizzy in the office was fantastic to deal with leading up to the safari. We really appreciated Lizzy's quick responses and information. It was great, felt like we were dealing with a person, not just a business, and it was one of the main reasons we selected Drones Safaris to start with. 

Mike our driver was wonderful! We felt very safe with him. Nothing was too much trouble, he was very patient and kind and fun. We affectionately nicknamed him 'Mike the man!', because he found us all the animals (big 5 plus more), and got in some great positions for photos - it was obvious he was very experienced, and knew a lot about the wildlife.

The vehicle was very comfortable, clean and modern, with great viewing from the roof!

We opted for a budget safari but still found the accommodation clean and comfortable and the food was excellent with a variety of mostly local dishes served on a buffet. As vegetarians we were well catered for.

We were very grateful also that Mike got us to the train station on time on the last day, despite some very difficult circumstances that were out of his control (a 3 hour road closure).

We were very lucky to have Esther from the office on the trip also, she was very sweet and helpful. A real bonus!

There was really just one negative, which we shared with Mike at the time, about the Masai village (optional extra). Unfortunately our experience wasn't great, some of the Masai people in the village we visited were very pushy selling souvenirs. To Drones credit, they listened to our feedback, and we understand measures will be put in place to avoid it happening in the future (Drones staff were very open and keen to receive feedback, and there seems to be a genuine commitment to providing good customer service).

We visited the Masai Mara and Amboseli National Parks. Despite the distance between them we would definitely recommend including Amboseli in your safari itinerary.

Overall it was an incredible experience, and exceeded our expectations, especially regarding the wildlife we saw and we would definitely recommend Drone Safaris (part of Baboon Budget Safaris) as a tour provider!

6 days went like one minute
5/5

Our first introduction to this agency started with communication with Lizzie in whtsapp - she amazed us by being very helpful ( she even helped us with our travel details excluding tour time) and friendly ( during and after tour she called us to ask if everything was alright). Our guide was Ambrosius - professional and safe driver who showed all the animals we can find in safari. I had some problems with health so he took me to clinic and still managed to plan rest of the trip great even when there were some time lost. About safaris, especialy in Masai Mara and Amboseli, we cant describe in words how amazing it was, so you need to experience yourself. All acommodation was very good - comfortable beds, mosquito nets, hot shower, toilet and electricity. Overall, I would say that this young agency provides all the best you can get from so called budget safaris and with friendliness of staff even more. Thats why if we will come to Kenya again we definitely choose this agency and reccommend it for all.

Amazing Safari at Affordable price
5/5

Everything from start to finish was excellent with this company. Lizzy in the office helped with booking procedure and answered all queries promptly and with professional knowledge. Lizzy went over and above, helping me with some personal issues, resulting in this safari being a much better experience than it could have been. Overall, great communication. The itinerary works well, I did the 4 day, 3 night tour to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. You get plenty enough time in each place. Our driver Emanuel did his utmost for us to have the best viewing experience of the animals. He was friendly and professional and knowledgeable. The accommodation each night is fine, the first night we had large tents with beds in which was a nice surprise to us all, and our tents the next two nights were fine too. Good facilities at the campsites, and lovely scenery at the Ngorongoro Crater site. My personal favourite area was the Ngorongoro because aside from seeing plenty of animals, the scenery down in the Crater was stunning! We had plenty of photo opportunties of the animals. I would highly recommend Drones Safaris for an overall amazing Safari experience

Dreams become reality with Drones!
5/5

I have just returned from what I would consider one of, if not, the most spectacular trip I’ve every been on. Who made this possible? Simple answer: Drones Africa Safaris. You see, my dream was to visit the Masai Mara in Kenya as well as Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. Drones Africa Safaris made it happen. After my first communication with Lizzy expressing to her my desires, I knew I had made the right decision. She is cordial, friendly, and attentive to her clients needs. In fact, I never expected to receive a reply back so quickly, but she was on it. Before I knew it, I was booked and ready to go. Our first stop was the Masai Mara. Talk about spectacular! We saw the big five plus much more by day 2. To speak in more detail, We saw 5 cheetahs roaming together trying to find a female, 2 leopards (one resting beside a river and another high up in a tree), 10 or more lions including many males which have giant manes (and even a lion couple mating), ostriches, a rhino, water buffalo, families of elephants, and large families of hippopotami. It is by far my favorite place I visited. I owe this in part to our terrific driver Lorenzo. He would get us as close the animals as one can possible get. I’ll just say he made it possible for us to be one with nature. I can’t thank him enough. Next, I made my way to Tanzania. Our first day was spent in Tarangire, where I had the privilege of seeing the most majestic elephant I’ve ever laid my eyes on. It was as though it was posing for the perfect shot. Besides elephants, I also saw gazelles, zebras, and a couple lions. The following day we moved on to the Serengeti, or shall I say, the mighty Serengeti. The sheer beauty and vastness of the land took my breath away, and of course all the animals we saw that inhabit this amazing place. We saw lions, giraffes, zebras, ostriches, and much more. Our night in the Serengeti (camping) will forever be one of my best memories. To camp in a place with wild animals passing by the tent was a once-and-a-lifetime experience. Our last day was spent in the Ngorongoro Crater. Trying to describe such a fantastic place using words is impossible. To see the animals going about their daily lives against the backdrop of the crater wall is hard to beat. Lastly, I’d like to add that all connections between the destinations were seamless. I was picked up on time every time. The dream trip I have just described would not have been possible without the wonderful people at Drones. I can not recommend them enough. They do not disappoint! In short, you’d be remiss to go with another company.
