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.

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.

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.

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.

Great experience with everything taken care of. Great value for money.
Esther coordinated everything for us on behalf of the company. She is tremendously patient and extremely prompt with her responses. The suggested trip was optimal and we saw almost every animal. Everything that was promised was delivered.
Our driver was Samy and he performed with sincerity, making every effort to ensure we spot the animals and get a good view.
The weather was excellent during the last week of July making the overall experience even more pleasant.
Tip to travellers... Do your homework so you know what to expect at each of the places.
My only disappointment was that I could not do the long tour of the gorges in Lake Naivasha because although I had plenty of time before my flight there was a member in our group who had to catch a bus from Nairobi.
But overall it was an amazing experience and I've been recommending the company and specifically Esther to all my friends. Keep up the good work

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.

Pleasant holiday with Kenya Budget Safaris
Esther is a friendly yet serious professional.
She has been of great help in organizing and customizing our trip to Kenya. We've been able to fine tune every aspect of our stay: tour programme, hotels/resorts, costs.
Moreover, we had a very good time with Henry who is a skilled driver and an experienced guide. We had the opportunity to learn a lot from him.
People from Kenya Budget Safaris have managed to make our holiday unforgettable.

Great safari in Kenya and Tanzania!
Esther did a great job. Leading up to the trip Esther provided great communication and full details on what to expect while on Safari. We saw more animals than expected. Both of our drivers were great and knew so much about the animals and game parks. The accommodations were pretty nice for being in the middle of no where. The lodges and tented camps served great food. Book this trip! You will not regret it!

great Safari trip for a very good price!
We had a Safari of 10 days in total, a combination of Kenyan parks (Aberdare, Masai Mara) and Tanzanian parks (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Arusha).
Esther was a great help in planning the trip, always very quick with her responses and she never got tired of our questions and demands. You gotta love her!
In the end we were offered a very good deal.
Our drivers/guides were true professionels. Always on time, they always knew the right places for spotting animals, you could ask them anything and got interesting informations in return. Plus, they were nice guys to spent time with.
So big thanks to Henry, Simon and Edgar!
Our cook Vitali provided us with great food. 3 meals a day, a variety of delicous stuff (we had a vegetarian in our group, she was also very satisfied)! Thank you Vitali!
I would defintely recommend to book a Safari with Kenya Budget Safaris.
We didn't have the money for an expensive Safari and got exactly what we wanted: an affordable Safari that gave us unforgattable expressions of the animals and the nature of Eastern Africa.
So thank you to the whole team (also Richard for the wine and the presents in the end).
