Great tour operator with excellent guide (Shaddy!)
Balu Travel offered us a very smooth and efficient booking process, with clear and easy communication throughout.
On the ground in Kenya, our 4-day safari (Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara) exceeded expectations – largely thanks to our guide, Shaddy. Responsible, professional, and exceptionally knowledgeable, Shaddy knows Kenya like the back of his hand, both inside and outside the national parks - adding interesting stops along the way to the parks. He consistently went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable, and he certainly succeeded.
Over the four days, we saw every animal on our bucket list – from the Big Five (including both black and white rhinos) to cheetahs, ostriches, hyenas, warthogs, crocodiles, several monkey species, and a remarkable variety of birds. As a Maasai himself, Shaddy also introduced us to Maasai traditions and customs and took us to visit a local Maasai community, providing an interesting cultural layer to our experience.
Overall, we truly enjoyed our safari with Shaddy and Balu Travel and can fully recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari adventure in Kenya.

Highly recommended operator
My husband and I went to Amboseli for a 3 day tour and had a great time! From the beggining the communication went smoothly and everything was just as promised. We had a great time with Carlos; he really knows how to spot animals and I guess we were also lucky to see all there is to see. But I really appreciated that we could talk to him, learn a lot about Kenya and Kenyans and laughed a gret deal. It was a true adventure.

Great guide Kaisane!
We had a great safari with Kaisane and will book this again. We managed to see all of the big 5 in a short period of time!

Incredible 4-Day Safari with Balu Travel & Guide Kasaine
Our 4-day safari to Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara with Balu Travel was amazing. Our guide, Kasaine, was knowledgeable, friendly, and helped us spot pretty much every animal we hoped to see. The trip was well-organized, smooth, and truly unforgettable. Highly recommend!
