A fantastic taste of Kenya with wonderful guides
5/5

We have just returned from a wonderful trip to Kenya. We were picked up from Nairobi Airport early morning and driven to Ol Pejeta for to nights. We then travelled to Samburu Buffalo Springs for another 2 nights. Next we had a night in the Ark in the Aberdare National Park which was a great experience. From there we headed for a night in Nairobi (really to break our trip as we headed to Amboseli) and fed the giraffes at the Giraffe Centre. Finally 3 nights in the extraordinary and not to be missed Amboseli with the views of Kilimanjaro augmented by the enormous herds of enormous elephants and rich plains game and predators.

Our Guide Shadi was a wonderful knowledgeable man who helped us all understand Kenya, the wildlife and the art of Safari better.

Thanks for a great 10 days - we will be back!

Amazing Kenya/Tanzania Safari Experience
5/5

This was our first trip to Africa with a 12 day Kenya/Tanzania Safari. It was such an amazing experience, such an enjoyable trip despite the immense travel distance between the several national parks; really wish we had done this trip sooner in our life. We will definetly come back with our kids next time.
From the initial quote request Annette was prompt in answering all questions and setting up the tour package. We got our e-visas for both countries online and made sure we had our yellow fever certificate too. Annette received us at Nairobi airport and put us in the hands of excellent guide/driver (Shadrack in Kenya and Ibrahim in Tanzania). We had 4 star lodges in Kenya and tented camps/smaller lodges in Tanzania but the service and food in all of them were superb. We visited Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengiti, NgoroNgoro, Taringire and Amboseli parks and enjoyed all of them. We especially wanted to take time for photographing the animals but also birds/sunsets and both guides were patient and gave us plenty of time and answered all our questions. We must have taken over 3000 photos/videos. We also visited a masai village and had plenty of stops to buy local handicrafts as well. Annette met us again on the last day for dinner in Nairobi and dropped us off at the airport. The border crossing at Isebania took about 1.5hrs but the crossing back at Namanga was fairly quick as both countries offices were in one building. The weather in June was perfect; cool morning/evenings with warm mid-days. the parks were not too crowded either. The roads into and out of Serengiti are quite dusty, so be prepared for that. All in all it was a wonderful trip, we were well taken care from the minute we stepped down into Nairobi till we left.

Amazing
5/5

This was our second trip with BAJ. We had amazing 3 nights at Mara. Our camp was right beside Mara river. It was incredible to sleep hearing the hippos and have breakfast close to them. The staff was very helpful and the location is great. An exquisite camp tucked in the Mara bush, calm and relaxing atmosphere. Hippo viewing and fantastic location for good game drives. The diver was informative and keen to share his immense knowledge about the Mara and wildlife.

Excellent First Experience in the Wilderness
5/5

I felt like I had arrived home from the moment I walked into our camp. I got to know the locals and feel welcome. We watched the wildebeest crossing and saw an abundance of animal and bird activity on our drives. The game drives were brilliant with very friendly and knowledgeable guide.
I do hope I get to return!

Fantastic Experience
5/5

We had an amazing experience in Amboseli National Park. It is a beautiful park with the amazing view of Mt. Kilimanjaro. We went specifically to photograph Elephants with the Mt. Kilimanjaro backdrop. Having said that we got Lions in Amboseli also and we saw a huge pride of lions right from the lodge dining area. Food was great buffet style. Everyone was friendly and ready to help and it was the perfect place to come back and relax after hours of game drives.

Dream Holiday with nature at its best
5/5

Nature and wild at its best. We'd a magical safari experience. The service from the staff was excellent, with no exceptions. The food was tasty, with a good variety of offerings over the course of our stay. Will certainly return with a friend. Can't wait to go back!

A Professional and Responsive Safari Company
5/5

This is the second time I’ve used this company and again it has met all my expectations. My friends and I put together a custom itinerary and Annette made all the necessary arrangements keeping within our budget, she was quick to respond to any of our questions and made sure we had a wonderful time in Kenya. Our driver, Enock, was very good and was an excellent guide in the parks we visited (Amboseli, Nakuru, Masai Mara, and Ol Pejeta Conservancy). I am going back to Kenya in June and will be using this company again.

Highly recommended
5/5

The experience far exceeded anything I imagined. We saw more animals, closer and more often than I expected. The guide was both knowledgeable and incredibly attentive to our group. The camp accommodations were beautiful. As a vegetarian, I always had good choices for meals. I never thought of myself as "the type" to go on a safari, but my trip was so memorable. Annette personally met with us and was generous and helpful above and beyond what I could have asked. Highly recommended.

Great Hospitality!
5/5

The meals were really good. Obviously the game drives were fantastic, and our guide was amazing. The tent we were shown to was spacious with a great veranda where we sat and listened to the birds foraging in the trees overhead, a few steps away from the river. I would definitely visit again.
