Great experience, knowledgeable and friendly guide and great communication
We first booked a 2-day tour to Amboseli with Balu. Morris was very responsive to questions, and also very flexible when there was uncertainty whether we would be able to make the prearranged date.
Ephantus was our driver and guide. A very kind and knowledgeable man. He drove us from our hotel in Nairobi to the Amboseli Sopa Lodge and from there we had our first afternoon safari. Ephantus knew exactly where to go for good viewings, had razor sharp vision to spot animals still far in the distance and had a lot of fun facts to share.
The Amboseli Sopa Lodge was also a perfect place to stay, and the game drive early morning next day was even better than the day before. We ended up seeing a lot of elephants very close, zebras, lions, giraffes, hyenas, ostriches, buffaloes, wildebeests, and much more. It exceeded all our expectations.
We were so happy with Balu Travel (and specifically Ephantus and Morris) that we booked a half day tour to Nairobi National Park two days later with them. Which again was an amazing experience.
Would definitely recommend them!

A great safari
Jambo! We loved the safari! We saw the Big 5 and Frank is a great driver.
Very punctual and respecting the time to observe our favorite animals: lions, cheetahs and elephants.
We were very lucky to see the black and white rhino.
We will repeat in a few years with the kids.
Thanks.
Best safari ever | Big 5 seen
We were picked up from our hotel in Nairobi by Dominic, our guide for the 4 day safari.
He’s a safe driver and took care to get all of us safely to the destinations.
He was also very knowledgeable and had great experience in locating the animals we’d come to see.
The car was comfortable and spacious for all three of us, with an elevated roof to allow us to see the terrain and animals.

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!

Best Safari ever and resort at the beach
After a deep research regarding where to begin with the world of Safaris, we decided that Kenya was the perfect choice, so we contacted more than ten tour operators and local agencies.
The majority of them were not flexible and did not adapt to our requirements, however Balu made everything easy, cost affordable and personalized until the smallest detail. Everything was ready before our arrival and between Morris (POC of Balu) and Denis (driver and guide) we had a great welcome at the airport and felt ourselves as locals after 3 days of private Safari. In addition to this, we decided to finish our trip in Diani Beach to relax, sunbathing and scuba diving and the recommendation of hotels made by Balu could not be better. We had Peter waiting to pick us up at the airport and the return.
As a summary, we have already recommended Balu to several friends and we hope to reach to them soon for another trip.
