Professional, exceptionally organized and a friendly tour operator. Highly recommended!
We booked a private 9 days travel through Namibia and it was exceptionally good. Everything was perfectly organized. Started with the planning of the trip. Amber Lynn was amazing. The communication was very smooth and friendly. She always answered very quickly to all our questions, requests, etc. She planned the perfect trip for us according to our budget and wishes. It was a real pleasure to plan with her. Thank you Amber Lynn!
The whole trip was very well organized, from the pick up from the airport, the lodges and excursions to the drop off at the airport. You don’t need to worry about anything, just enjoy the trip. We had our private car with our private driver/tour guide Lucky who was amazing. He has such a great knowledge, (about wildlife, Namibia, Africa. You could ask him everything about everything), happy personality, is an excellent safe driver and always went the extra mile to make sure our special requests we had during the trip were taken care of. He made everything possible for us which we appreciated a lot. We couldn’t wish for a better guide and travel companion. It was truly an amazing and unforgettable trip for us. We will come back for sure and of course will book the next trip with NTN!

very friendly
Our driver David's is very experienced and responsible. We have found most of the animal we wanted to see. We also have a chief to prepare the food for us during all the safari trip. And the food is very good.

Amazing journey with best food
We spend 4 days to Tarangire and Serengeti park. Tarangire is a best park to start the safari, a lot of elephants!
We found our last missing piece of the big five, Rhinos in Ngorongoro area. David, our driver, can see everything from a far distance. No animal can escape from his eyes. Our chef cooked best food and I gained weight even.

An awesome trip to Mt Meru
The morning before our hike we met with the team to check that we had all the essential hiking equipment. And we needed some items which were arranged for us at a fair price.
Overall climbing Mt Meru with Zanzi trekking was a great trip!! We had an excellent team assisting us, including our guide, delicious food, porters assisting to carry our stuff. The price was very reasonable.
We want to thank the team for their hospitality in helping us reach the summit!

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.

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 .
