Kind and enthousiastic tour operator!
We really loved our tour with bush and forest explorers, as we saw lots of animals and the tour offers great value for money. The team has excellent communication and is happy to answer any questions you have. Would recommend!

Amazing safari with very friendly people!
We had a great safari! Not only was the price very good (friends of ours paid almost double!), but the communication was also very good. We saw lots and lots of animals, had 3 (warm) meao’s a day and overall had a very great time!

Magical experience
It could not have gone any better. From the pickup and friendly tourguides they have who just made the whole experience worth-while. Their tour vans are so comfortable for the safaris and so reliable. Can't forget the amount of details in the communication they provide as well as the reliabilty of their staff.
It's good value for your money to be honest and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Jokey operator was professional and Kikitu is fantastic, funny and most passionate guide we ever had
Everything from operator was on time and professional and 7 days Safari tour was perfectly organized and communication was great! But our guide Kikitu was simply amazing! He was not only very kind, hospital and caring but also super professional guide who showed the best scenes possible (see pictures): cheetah eating the pray, leopard hiding on the tree after successful hunting, elephants taking the bath in the swamp (1meter from us), lioness with 4 cubs and more! We love action scenes (hunting etc) and Kikitu was the perfect guide for this as he was in constant connection with other guides and reacted very quickly to all news. Also maybe because every person we have met loves him! So many random people know his name across the entire Kenia! For active vacation with maximum of opportunities to see the wild life in action I wouldn’t choose different guide! In fact I’m planning another trip to Kenia next year and will only do it with Kikitu!
Strongly recommend him to anyone who loves to spend time with open, funny, caring people, who is also an excellent guide! Thank you Kikitu and Jockey tours, we had the best time in Kenia!

Amazing experience, breathtaking landscapes and wildlife, made even better by our excellent guides.
We loved the trip, the warm welcome from our guides , and the breathtaking scenery. From morning to evening, we were always on the lookout for animals.
We’ve seen the “big 5” on our journey ! It was incredible!
The service was perfect! The food and accommodations selected and recommended by the company were excellent. They took care about paperwork for the parc and helped us.
The knowledge, experience, and passion of our guides, “Champion” and “Nixon”, made the journey even more special. They allowed us to see incredible wildlife and were very patient with all stops at perfect places to take pictures filling both our minds and our cameras with unforgettable memories.
Incredible experience that I won’t forget !

An outstanding, well-organized tour led by a knowledgeable and friendly guide
I had a fantastic experience with Balu Travel and truly enjoyed every part of the tour with my group. From the beginning, everything was well organized and communication was clear, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.
Our tour guide was one of the highlights of the trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and places we visited, and he shared stories and context that made each stop more meaningful. He was also very patient and always happy to answer questions, no matter how small, which made everyone feel comfortable and engaged.
The team was also extremely understanding and flexible. One person in our group experienced a flight disruption that delayed their arrival, and Balu Travel kindly waited a bit longer in the morning so they could still join us. That level of patience and accommodation was truly appreciated and made a big difference for our group.
What I appreciated most was how easy our guide was to talk to. He created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making it easy for everyone to connect and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.
Overall, Balu Travel delivered excellent service, great value for money, and a memorable experience. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and enjoyable tour.

Incredible
We have had such an amazing time on this tour with Kevin, he is very friendly and professional. I have been on several safaris previously, in Tanzania, Zambia and Namibia but this had the most drama. Kevin always had us in the right place at the right time.
Very good value for money, the accommodation were very good so was the food. Staying at Lake Nakuru Lodge is a must, such an amazing view with game coming up to the fence line.

Excellent trip to Hell's Gate and Naivasha Lake
This was a great one-day private safari - for three people - from Nairobi. We visited Hell's Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha - both were beautiful, peaceful, and full of animals. Our driver was fantastic, as were our guides in the two national parks. I highly recommend the trip.
