Great value for money
We had a positive experience with Balu travel. We found the service was excellent and the value for money was great. The tour was incredible we had the best guide Johnson who I would recommend to anyone wanting an exceptional experience. He knew the answer to all our questions and had over 11 years experience which really showed. Thank you Johnson !!!

We had a great time!
We spent two wonderful days with Shady in Amboseli National Park. Absolutely everything worked out perfectly (from our pick-up at the hotel in Nairobi to the drop-off at the airport) and Shady was such great company. There was not a question during our safari that he couldn’t answer. :-) Also Amboseli Sopa Lodge, where we spent the night, was really beautiful so that we would have loved to stay longer. We will definitely book with this company again! :-)

We had a wonderful Amboseli tour thanks to the excellent guidance of Jonathan and Jackson.
I was thoroughly satisfied with the drive to Amboseli and the game drive led by Jonathan and Jackson. Their attentive service and sound judgment made for a wonderful experience. I would certainly love to book with them again.

Isaac welcomed us warmly, guided with care, and made our safari truly unforgettable.
We chose Balu Travel for the many positive reviews we read and that actually confirm the professionalism we found. We have always had a single point of contact who made himself available from day one to accommodate our every need and answer all our questions.
About out tour operator, he accompanied us from day one with a warm welcome and was attentive to our every need, even unscheduled. With his joy and sympathy he made us live a magical experience, which we will never forget. In addition, during the Safaris, he did everything to achieve our goal of seeing as many animals as possible, including the Big Five. He was very thorough in describing the fauna and offering us some nice memory games during the trip. We thank Isaac for the experience lived and for the professionalism he has shown.

Incredible one-day trip to Amboseli National Park, Kenya
My friend and I wanted to go to Amboseli National Park before starting our safari tour in Maasai Mara. We searched for tour operators that could organise a one-day tour from Nairobi and found Balu Travels through Safari bookings.
We had a great experience with them. Shaddy was an amazing driver and guide, going the extra mile to get us all the things we asked for. He picked us from our hotel early in the morning and we didn’t get back until 20:00. It’s a bit expensive but well worth it! We recommend picking the land cruiser and be ready for a long drive to and from the park.

Tetu and Benson are very knowledgeable about the park and very friendly as well.
Tetu and Benson were great tour guides. They are very flexible and always willing to help. Tetu, the driver was clearly very familiar with the national park, knowing exactly where to go and which roads to take, while Benson was very knowledgeable about the animals in the area.

Trustable travel company
Balu company organized our Amboseli tour in Kenya, the special request we asked for is to organize a transfer cross the border from Kenya to Tanzania after the tour finishes. Balu is professional, responsive from very beginning, listening to our request carefully, and planned seamless connection for us. The tour guide who took us to Amboseli is also professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Balu organized border transfer is smooth, the driver who picked us up on Tanzania side is also responsible and friendly, we appreciate the support Balu given to us, and this a trustable company.

Great value of money
Reliable, flexible, and great value for money
We had a great experience with our guide Kish. He was always on time, very knowledgeable, and flexible with our itinerary when needed.
Beyond being professional, he was fun to be around and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole trip. The service was excellent for the price. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a solid safari guide
