Everything top notch !! No room for any complain...
Just one word for the trip planned by Esther " superb". Took the trip in the month of July 2016 with my family.. was concerned about safety & comfort about the trip since was travelling with my parents... but Esther planned this trip beautifully for us.. i cant thank her enough for delivering more than what was promised. Camps suggested by her, food arrangements (since we are vegetarians), transfers.. everything top notch !! Special mention about John our guide who took us around for 7 days... a warm & extremely friendly guy !! Very punctual, professional too. I would recommened everybody who plans to visit Kenya to go with Kenya Budget Safaris & trust Esther fully to plan your trip.

amazing experience and good service !!
I said to Esther what days i have available and what i want to do and she organized for me perfectly, she is very kind an efficient and the price was very good. The mountain guide wilson was very profesional and the mount kenya was an amazing and beautiful experience, the second part, the safari was great too, the driver very profesional too. tent's safari, is not a luxury safari but was enought for me.
very recommended agency !!!
Todo fue muy bien, le indique a Esther que días tenía libres y que quería hacer y ella me lo organizo todo con un precio muy bueno. La parte de la montaña fue muy bien, el guía era muy profesional y la parte del safari fue genial, eso sí las tiendas no son de lujo, pero lo importante es la naturaleza. Recomiendo esta agencia por su profesionalidad.

very good service on short notice
We stayed in Nairobi for a couple of days and decided very spontaneously to go on a safari to Maasai Mara. After a little googeling we found Esther's agency and called her in the evening to find out, if we could go on a safari within the next two days. Esthers reply was positive and she sent us all the info immediately.
The safari was very well organised (as described on the website) and we had a terrific time in the Mara. We saw the big five and lots of other animals and have had a great time at the camp.
We shared the car with a nice international group of seven people and spent a good time with our driver Paul. He's great fun and seems to know everything about Mara roads and animals.
We happily recommend Esthers service, Pauls driving skills and the budget safaris with Esthers agency.

Professional and Friendly staff, that take care of the customer
I will sum up our experience with KBS, by simply stating that next time we go back to Kenya we will not require a travel agent, Esther and Wilfred were outstanding.
2 families including 3 kids, and they took good care of us.
Thanks for your help and assistance. 10 out of 10.

Excellent experience. Wilfred is a very kind, flexible, gentle and knowledgeable tour guide
Esther always responded very quickly and with precise data to all our multiple queries. Hotels in Kenya were very good, of lower quality in Tanzania. Friendly people everywhere, and lots of animals during our stay. Wilfred, is an excellent guide. We was very patient and willing to help and share his knowledge. Kids loved him. I highly recommend Kenya Budget Safaris.

Superb experience
When you book 'budget' safari you go with smaller expectations. Same happened with me when I arrived in Nairobi. My expectation was that I'll have a bit of hardships that is expected on any tour. I was wronged from the start at the tour when I was picked up at the airport by a cheerful guy, brought to a hotel in Nairobi which was decent as well. Then I met Esther and Francis who were the highlights of this tour (apart of animals and beautiful landscapes). I have not received a warmer hospitality in any foreign location than what I got in kenya from Kenya Budget Safari. While I was appreciative of the calm exterior of Esther and Francis, I was also wondering on how can someone be this serene and this hospitable with complete strangers.
Facilities wise - Hotels in Nairobi, Nakuru and Naivasha were decent. Camp in Masai was alright. Food was a bit of an issue there. Vehicle was comfortable and I have no word for the warmth of the driver.
I have seen the animals but want to go back for the people.

Perfect service!
I was very happy with the professional service: clear proposals in a timely matter. Upon arrival, everything went smoothly from the airport transfer to the safari in Masai Mara which made our stay in Kenya unforgettable!

Our guide was very friendly.
Also he was very active to show us more animals.
Thanks to his effort, we were able to see lots of animals!

Exceptional service by Kenya Budget Safaris
Esther, on behalf of my team a big thank you to you for organizing the safari. We had a great time at Masai Mar &, Nakuru with our guide Mr.Maxwell providing exceptional service. Your team went a step ahead and made several other arrangements in Kenya. This helped us have a great time not only during the safari but also our vacation in Kenya overall. Thanks again and I would recommend your team for the safari with no second thought!
