Easy Travel planned a fantastic 12 day safari with superb guide
We had a most fantastic 12 days. Easy Travel was very responsive to our requests and prompt in responding when contacted. They put together an excellent itinerary after listening to our requests. They were willing to organize 4 walking safaris, which seemed to be a more challenging request when other companies were asked to do so. Much of the success of our trip was thanks to our guide Aniny Nkya. He was always pleasant to have around, had a good sense of humour, was willing to adapt or augment anything we requested, was very informative and interesting and a great wildlife spotter. We could not have wished for a finer guide. Our accommodation was excellent. My only comment about this is that Tortilis is a sister company to Easy Travel and 4 out of 5 of our tented accommodation (mostly 2 nights in each location) was with them. Their philosophy is to maintain the same high quality and familiarity by keeping the tents the same, the dining experience (very similar menus), the same welcome from staff etc and this is all excellent. For me, I would have preferred more variety. The one camp that was different (Nyikani) was a very welcome change. This is a small criticism, but worth taking into consideration.

The Agent crafts immersive trips that link travelers to local cultures with smooth logistics.
I highly recommend Balu Travel for anyone considering a trip to Kenya. After carefully researching various tour operators for my birthday safari, I can confidently say that choosing them was the best decision I could have made.
Morris was incredibly responsive to all our inquiries and presented us with a fantastic deal that included a private tour along with detailed accommodation options, complete with pictures. He broke down the meal inclusions, drinks, and planned activities for our 05 day tour, which gave us clear expectations. It was a lovely touch that he even came to meet us the day our adventure began! He also coordinated with my partner for a surprise birthday celebration at our base camp and made the arrangement for a hot air balloon ride. <3
The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly our guide, Steve. He was fantastic, ensuring that we experienced everything the safari had to offer. We were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five and even enjoyed a traditional Nairobi lunch with Steve’s family, which was a truly authentic experience.
If you're considering a private or shared group tour, look no further than Balu Travel. Morris and Steve are the most reliable people you could work with!

Organised, professional, attentive, there in person .
From the start all communication was by email and replies were fast and informative . The detail given to help customers was full and well explained.
The service from both the Safari Company and the Lodge Staff was friendly, helpful,polite and they could not do enough to help us, Food in the Lodges was also well above our expectations, and plenty of it!
The bedrooms varied some were so luxurious it was unreal and some very standard , however you do not get to spend much time in bed!, early mornings are the norm.
Our Driver was the Star though, Pius, was so friendly, open, fun to be with , great driver and full of information and knowledge. We miss him. He also kept his vehicle immaculate, our drinking water cold ,and arranged our lunches with a smile .

Efficient
I communicated with other safari operators before deciding on Kilipath African Safari and I have no regrets about my choice! Heavenlight was very responsive and worked with me to build my dream trip. It didn’t matter what time of day I messaged her, she was there! For the safari itself, our tour guides Abu and David were incredibly skilled and knowledgeable. They took us to the best spots to find animals and made the 4-day trip so memorable. Mateo, the chef who was with us during our safari, prepared incredible meals daily that we always looked forward to.
To end the trip, Heavenlight surprised me with a little birthday gift as she knew this was a birthday trip for me, and that was truly the perfect way to close off my experience!

We highly recommend B.A.&S. Our agent, Lightness did an exceptional job of accommodating all of us.
B.A.& S. provided a service beyond our expectations from the moment we began our communication until our safe arrival home. Our agent, Lightness worked tirelessly to accommodate 10 (65-90yrs old) individuals needs and clarifications. B. A. & S. orchestrated everything perfectly. From frequent communication before arrival , our pick up at arrival, greeting us personally, checking in during our safaris, and open communication anytime throughout. Lightness is a gem. Our drivers, Bon and George were like family from beginning to end and we all consider them our Tanzanian family forever, along with Lightness. They truly wanted to provide the best experience possible. We saw more wildlife then our wildest dreams could have imagined. All accommodations surpassed our expectations, all were ready to accommodate dietary needs and went above and beyond to celebrate our special occasion. B.A.& S. did an incredible job planning, implementing and following up. We are forever grateful to B.A.& S. , Lightness, Bon and George for their personal care and efforts to ensure we had the trip of a life time.

The best safari in our lives
Our six-day safari tour has come to an end today. And we can finally share the exciting experiences of the trip with our guide Joshua. We started from Nairobi and visited the Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli. The jeep was comfortable and well stocked. we always had cool water and chargers available to us. we travelled with a 3 year old and i can definitely recommend repeating this experience. The campsites were of good quality for a budget tour, the food was always varied and fresh. our guide Joshua showed us the best locations. most importantly, we were able to see the Big Five in full. would recommend!
