So amazing
We had an amazing 4 day, 3 night safari with Suricata Safaris! Everything was well organised, and we saw so many incredible animals and had an unforgettable experience. Also was able to finish the big 5!!
A special thank you to our guide, Rastaman, who was absolutely fantastic! He was knowledgeable, friendly, funny and always made sure we were having the best experience. What also really stood out was how helpful he was towards others. He is beyond being an excellent guide.
We felt safe and in very good hands throughout the whole safari. Highly recommend Suricata Safaris, and especially Rastaman if you get the chance to have him as your guide!

Travel with Rasta!! An unforgettable once in a lifetime experience!
I highly recommend doing a safari tour with Rasta Lewis! Rasta’s knowledge of the animals is incredible. He made the tour interesting and fun at all times even with long drives on bumpy roads (African massage). Rasta made sure we each saw our favourite animal and we got to see the big 5!
I would visit again tomorrow! Amazing!

Friendly & welcoming
We really had an incredible safari experience thanks to Paul!
Throughout the whole trip we could feel his love, passion and respect for the animals and the nature. For each encountered animal, he would share interesting facts.
Moreover, being three girls, we also felt very safe around him.
We really appreciated that he went above and beyond to find the animals we had on our wishlist. In fact, we managed to get a close look at all of the them!
Thanks to his patience, dedication and professionalism, he made our safari trip unforgettable!

Impeccable
Highly recommended. Put us up in luxurious tents , had knowledgeable drivers and helped us re-book a hotel which we needed to after a missed connecting flight.
Had a wonderful time at Masai Mara and Amboseli.

Strongly recommend
We did the 3 day safari to Selous NP. Our guide picked us up at our hotel in Dar es Salaam. After a 3,5 hour drive we arrived at our camp. In the evening we had a river cruise and watched the sunset. The next day we had a game drive. The guide was very experienced and we saw lions, giraffe, elephants, leopard and we were lucky to see hyena’s eating a giraffe. The last day we had a bush walk with a very entertainig bush man. In general we would recommend this company highly.

Trip of a lifetime!
David was our tour guide for about a day and a half. He was very experienced, and fortunately for the day, we saw lions, hippos, a leopard, a cheetah, all within the span of three hours! He even brought a Maasai guide at one point to help us track animals. Overall it was an incredible trip, especially for the short time that we had, and I would highly recommend him again!
Lewis was also able to put together an incredible itinerary for us which involved traveling from Narok to doing the safari, to the overnight camp, to the bush flight back home, a detour at the Carnivore restaurant, and dropoff at the International Airport for our flight home. Thank you so much!

Incredible experience for our first safari in Afrika
Our first safari experience in Kenya with Balu Travel was absolutely incredible!
A special thank you to our amazing guides and drivers, Jonathan and Jackson, who made the experience so memorable. Jonathan was incredibly insightful about the Maasai people and the wildlife, while Jackson had the sharpest eye for spotting animals in the bush and always knew the best viewing spots. We had so much fun with them and genuinely enjoyed their company throughout the safari.
Sopa Lodge was the perfect place to stay, beautiful, peaceful and in an incredible setting overlooking Mount Kilimanjaro. The accommodation was fantastic, with very friendly staff and the fascinating added touch of a house built by Hemingway, now turned into a bar overlooking the savanna. The hospitality from the Maasai staff was particularly special; everyone was so welcoming, helpful and kind.
We were lucky enough to see an amazing variety of wildlife, including zebras, giraffes, elephants, warthogs, hyenas, hippos and even a beautiful family of lions resting in the bush.
Overall, it was an unforgettable first safari and such a fun, safe and well-organised experience. If I were to book another safari, I would absolutely choose Balu Travel again, and I’ll definitely be recommending them to friends back home who are looking for an amazing Kenyan adventure! 🇰🇪🦁
