Balu Travel

The tour operator was communicative, professional and our tour guide Shaddy was amazing

Our 5-day safari in Kenya was absolutely unforgettable. We spent 3 days in the Masai Mara and 2 days in Amboseli, and every single day felt like something out of a nature documentary.

A huge part of what made the experience so incredible was our guide, Shaddy. His knowledge of the parks and the animals was outstanding. He seemed to know exactly where to go and when, and he shared fascinating insights about animal behaviour, the ecosystem, and the Masai culture throughout the trip. It felt like we were exploring with a true expert who genuinely loves what he does.

Thanks to Shaddy’s skill and patience, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five during our safari, including an incredible sighting of a leopard. Some of the most memorable moments were watching lions high up on a hill with their cubs, and witnessing another pride feeding on a buffalo. We also had amazing close-up views of elephants and other wildlife in their natural habitat. The positioning of the vehicle was always perfect for photography and viewing, and we never felt rushed.

Both the Masai Mara and Amboseli offered spectacular landscapes and unforgettable wildlife encounters. The vast open plains of the Mara and the iconic views of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli made the experience even more special. We consistently had incredible views and magical moments that we’ll be talking about for years.

If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. With Shaddy as your guide, you’re in the best possible hands. It was truly the trip of a lifetime.
