awesome safari
We had an absolutely awesome time on the safari. We were lucky enough to see so many amazing animals in their natural habitat, which was truly breathtaking. Our guide, Mike, was fantastic—his passion for wildlife and attention to detail really enhanced our experience. He shared so much knowledge about the animals and the ecosystem, making the trip unforgettable. We can't wait to share our stories and recommend this adventure to others!

Unforgettable experience (Familiy of four 10 and 14 years)
When we decided on Kenya, we got a lot of offers for safaris. We decided on Diana and her agency because of really up-to-date communication and a friendly price. Before leaving we also called her and asked her about current affairs and she really told us everything.This made packing easier. I loved that we met in person before the tour. We were then in a 4x4 car with a few other people and the excellent, experienced, funny and caring driver Georg. The car was always clean, enough water to drink, regular stops. He drove perfectly and convincingly on all roads and we didn't have any breakdowns, he knew the corners of the parks so that we saw a lot of animals (jaguar, cheetah), mating lions, hunting lionesses, feeding them. He gave us plenty of time to watch the animals, always found a great spot to watch and never rushed us. We are all very grateful to him for that. He also had binoculars, but mostly the animals were very close. He had a good relationship with the population, so we always bought something good, tried special fruits.
The accommodations on the way are clean, spacious, the food is excellent and in large quantities, even though we had a budget package. It's nice to have a spare with you, especially with children, because in the first days there is no store nearby.
1 week of safari was very dynamic and not at all monotonous, as the parks are very different in terms of growth, surroundings and also the number of animals. I think this package is really great for experiencing the diversity of Kenya and we would do it again.
Thank you Diana and all the team.

Amazing experience!
We went on a week long safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Hells gate and Amboseli and every part of our safari experience was fabulous. Diana helped so much getting everything booked and answering all my questions. Our guide and driver Richard was amazing too and so friendly and knowledgeable, he made sure we got to see everything we wanted too. I’d absolutely recommend.

A truly life changing experience.
We had the most wonderful guide Richard (or Richie Rich). He was well informed, friendly and knowledgeable about the parks and the animals.
He always ensured we got the best views and truly made our experience extra special.
Not only were the game drives so well planned out, we were given opportunities to visit local villages as well as a walking safari and a hippo boat ride.
I cannot recommend this company enough.
We loved Richie Rich

Amazing!!!
Our trip from March 24th to 30th was absolutely fantastic, meticulously planned from start to finish! Patrick, our dedicated driver-guide (hi, Patrick!), made sure we didn't miss a single thing. Whether it was the breathtaking wildlife of Masai Mara, the serene beauty of Nakuru, the tranquil waters of Naivasha, or the iconic landscapes of Amboseli, every moment felt like a new adventure.
The friendly and welcoming atmosphere within the company was just as memorable. Diana and the entire team were always there for us, making us feel safe and at ease throughout our journey. It was an extraordinary experience that we'll cherish forever

Amazing experience
We liked our 6-day tour very much. Our driver-guide (Bonnie, hi!) was always trying to show us EVERYTHING, it seems we saw every animal in every park we went to (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli)! It was an incredible, unforgettable experience. Also, the atmosphere in the company is always vital to us. Diana and everyone were friendly and helpful, simply nice people with whom we felt absolutely safe and comfortable.
Things to know before the tour: there is no sense in taking 1-2 days tours because the distance between parks is huge, it's much better to go to every park for a couple of nights. Also, take something to amuse yourself in the car, since car rides take significant time. Get binoculars with you, and do not wear white clothes to safari, it's a very dusty experience) Take cash (in shillings everything was cheaper than in dollars, but locals prefer dollars), there are many beautiful things to buy.

Thank you Diana
I had the pleasure to meet Diana and her team, and definitely recommend her services. She is a trusted advisor with a great ability to share her knowledge and experience. Diana helped me book a journey to Masai Mara but also proved to be of great value for my trip to Tanzania. Everything was smooth and happened as planned. Cherry on the cake, I could explore the true and authentic Nairobi thanks to her guidance and advices. Thank you Diana, I am looking looking forward to meeting you again in Kenya.. or here in Madrid! Yannick.
Great Company to make a Great Safari
I had the pleasure to use again the service of Venture Africa Budget to visit Masai Mara. First time was in 2016. Second time now and all I can say is that if I come back a third time I will contact Diana once more. She is an amazing person. Very serious and reliable for the organisation of your next visit in Africa.
I would like to thank you once more for the service with high quality. She booked our transfer to Moshi - Tanzania, she managed our accommodation and booked our tour at Masai Mara National Park.
Let meet again soon Diana and greetings to the family

Exceptional Diana & Francis Safari
We had the pleasure of booking a safari with Venture Africa Budget Safaris, and we can't express enough how exceptional the experience was. Diana, from the very beginning, went above and beyond in assisting me with the booking process. Her patience and thorough answers to our numerous queries were greatly appreciated.
The pickup and drop-off facilities were seamless, thanks to Diana's meticulous planning. But what truly made this safari unforgettable was our guide, Francis. He went the extra mile to ensure we had the most incredible experience. His expertise and knowledge of the wildlife were evident, and he expertly guided us through the Masai Mara game drive.
Under Francis's guidance, we were treated to the most breathtaking views of wild animals in their natural habitat. The attention to detail and coordination during the game drive was outstanding. Francis's dedication to providing us with a memorable safari adventure was truly commendable.
In addition to the incredible wildlife experience, one of the most memorable highlights of our safari with Venture Africa Budget Safaris was the opportunity to visit a Masai village. This cultural encounter was a true gem of our journey.
The warm and welcoming Masai people shared their traditions and way of life with us. We were invited to participate in their dances, witness their unique housing structures, and learn about their deep connection to the land and wildlife. It was a fascinating and heartwarming experience, giving us a genuine insight into the rich heritage of the Masai people.
This cultural exchange, facilitated by Venture Africa Budget Safaris, added a profound layer to our safari adventure. It's these authentic encounters that make a journey truly unforgettable, and I'm grateful to have had the chance to connect with the wonderful people of the Masai village
In conclusion, we can't recommend Venture Africa Budget Safaris enough. The combination of Diana's exceptional customer service and Francis's extraordinary guiding made this safari a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure in Africa, this is the team to choose. Thank you, Diana and Francis, for making this safari an unforgettable journey into the heart of the wild.
