We highly recommend Judeson Budget Safaris for an incredible, well‑organised East‑African safari led
A huge thank‑you to Judeson Budget Safaris for crafting a nearly‑perfect, lifelong‑memorable East‑African safari for us.
Every detail of our journey was handled with thoughtful care and professionalism. We were assigned a dedicated, highly‑qualified driver‑guide with rich field experience. He possessed deep knowledge of grassland terrain and wildlife behaviour, and knew all the best viewing spots inside the parks like the back of his hand. He could always anticipate animal movements in advance, getting us into prime positions to watch wildlife calmly and at close range.
What impressed us most was his excellent physical stamina. Whether setting off early in the morning for game‑viewing, driving long distances across the grassland in the afternoon, or waiting patiently for wildlife late into the evening, he stayed energetic and attentive throughout. His steady, skilled driving guaranteed our safety and made every wildlife‑watching session highly rewarding.
During this safari, we were fortunate enough to spot the Big Five, together with zebras, giraffes and many other rare wild animals. The spectacular grassland scenery made our safari experience truly unforgettable.
The whole itinerary was well‑designed with a wonderfully relaxed pace. Service was reliable and consistent, with great attention paid to every small detail. This has been a fulfilling, restorative African adventure that we will cherish for many years. We whole‑heartedly recommend Judeson Budget Safaris as a trustworthy, high‑quality local ground operator for anyone planning a safari holiday in Kenya.

Very professional and reliable!
I have been liaising with Lucy from Axis travel for close to year to plan our once in a lifetime safari trip as a family of four. I was nervous due to our children being 7 and 5 with the youngest having special needs however Axis very quickly put my mind to rest. They worked with me to ensure every aspect of the trip would work for the children and for our budget. They allocated a very experienced game driver Peter Ndungu who picked us up from Nairobi drove us to Masai Mara and we had an amazing experience overall. We saw so many amazing animals and the game drive worked really well for the children. Axis also organised our hot air balloon ride and trip to naivasha lake and hellsgate national park. The whole experience was really pleasant.

An Unforgettable 6-Day Safari!
Our guide, Peter was an exceptional guide throughout our 6-day safari and played a huge part in making our trip truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, he was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and incredibly passionate about wildlife. One of his greatest strengths was his ability to spot animals, even when they were well hidden. His excellent communication with other guides through the radio also meant that we were often among the first to know when there was an interesting wildlife sighting. He made every game drive exciting and ensured we had plenty of opportunities to see and photograph the animals.
Our cultural visit was another wonderful experience. With the assistance of our local guide, Olonana, and the village elders, we learned so much about the Maasai culture, traditions, way of life, plants and local wildlife. They provided detailed explanations and fascinating facts, making the cultural experience both educational and memorable. We were especially happy that we managed to see all of the Big 5 during our safari. There were also a few birds and experiences we had hoped to see at Lake Baringo but unfortunately missed. Thankfully, we had another opportunity to see them during our time in Lake Nakuru Park, which was a fantastic highlight of the trip.
He also went above and beyond what we expected. On our last day, we realized that we had accidentally left some of our belongings at Jambo Mara. Since we were staying an additional night at a Eka hotel in Nairobi before our departure, Peter with help of Kevin took the initiative to arrange for our items to be collected and delivered back to us in Nairobi. We were extremely grateful for his effort and thoughtfulness. Overall, we had an amazing experience with Silver Spark Africa Safaris. The organization, communication, safari experience and especially the excellent service from Peter made our journey very special.
We would happily book with Silver Spark Africa Safaris again and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. If possible, we would definitely recommend requesting Peter as your guide. He is an outstanding guide who genuinely cares about his guests and goes the extra mile to make sure they have an unforgettable safari experience!

A dream come true in a 11 days tour in Uganda
We organized an 11-day tour of Uganda with Buyaga Safaris, allowing us to visit this wonderful country from north to south. Our driver/guide, Braiton, was excellent, always punctual, available, and ready to answer any of our questions and accommodate our needs as best as possible. Furthermore, despite the difficult Ugandan roads, especially those accessing the various parks, and the long drive, he proved to be an excellent driver (again, it was a great pleasure). The hotels we booked were excellent, some even exceeding our expectations. The only downside (if there was one) is that the chimpanzee tour was scheduled for the morning, but we went in the afternoon and only learned about it the night before. So, a tip is to indicate in the program that the chimpanzee trek can be done either in the morning or afternoon. Overall, the overall price—even compared to those offered by other companies—seemed very fair. We are happy with this trip and hope to return to Uganda soon!

The whole tour was amazing from start to finish. All of the accommodations were beautiful and clean. The staff were like family, so welcoming and genuine. But, mostly, Jesse made the trip, he was a fantastic guide, he ensured we saw all of the animals, was respectful to them, informative and just great fun.
