Great safari at a great price
The gane drives on the Maasai Mara in Kenya were amazing. Accomodations were basic thiugh sufficient. It was a budget safari after all.
Joseph was a great guide and expert2 at finding wildlife.
All in all had a lot of fun.

Accommodating and Flexible
This company is all about being flexible, especially to single travelers who are looking to experience the wildlife at their own pace and personal interests. My guide, Joseph, was with me for 6 days and always made sure to show me as much wildlife as possible, if it meant getting up early, staying out on late drives or driving at top speeds to catch rare sightings. He was knowledgeable with over 10 years of experience. He was patient when he needed to be and did well handling a wide variety of travelers.

Patrick Atweng'a (introduced to me by at baboon office) stole 500$ which left as a deposit
A year ago my parents rented a car trough babbon tours from guy named Patrick Otieno Atweng'a...
after 3 weeks of using the car my folks returned it but never saw any of the the deposit, they were left to wait for couple of hours for the thief to come back - which never happened.
Baboon tours admitted their responsebility for Patrick Otieno Atweng'a action and promising me to deal the issue and return the stolen money..
I was in touch with mr. Dennis across the year via watsap and every time he gave me another excuse.
Beware of Baboon budget tours and other scammers...
Thank you for nothing mr. dennis behalf my parents and me

An experience of a lifetime!
Our safari with baboon budget safari was an incredible experience. You get so much for what you pay for. The accommodations were great including a Cabin-like tent with beds, shower, and bathroom. The excursions were amazing and we saw so many animals, no matter if you were on a budget or private or fancy safari, we all saw the same things. Going at the beginning of June was a great time too, because the crowds haven’t made it yet and we had many private moments with just our vehicle and the animals. I would recommend this to all of my friends and family.

Wonderful journey to heaven of animals
The driver&guide Stanley was so knowledgable and nice, and he drives so well. Thanks to him, we saw a lot of animals and enjoyed our time. We saw double rainbows, and most of the animals, even lions eating meat!! That was so amazing.
The accomodation(camp) and food could be improved, though. There were only certain time that you could use electricity and I didn’t know that before I go there. And the staff told us that hot water is for 24 hours but most of us had difficulties when having shower because there was no hot water.
And we didn’t get our drinking water from any staff so I had to ask for other people.
But in general, it was a wonderful time with Baboon Budget Safari.
Excellent organizational skill
In need it was a great pleasure to visit Kenya safari through Baboon Safari. I would like to appreciate their service, transport facility, accommodation. Really the staff took pain to make Safari tour a great success. Baboon safari group left no stone unturned to show all most all species of wild life. Thanks to Baboon safari for commitment to give a great experience......
Wishing a good luck ahead....

Excellent budget Safari
Baboon budget Safaris was an excellent way to see Kenya for the first time. Pre-trip planning was smooth and all emails received a response promptly. Our guide Sammy was excellent! Enjoyed the camping aspect as this enabled us to interact more closely with the local people. Food and accommodations were fine. Again, this was a budget Safari and was amazingly inexpensive. I highly recommend it to those with an adventurous spirit.

Very pleased-Baboon Budget Came Through with some Compensation For changed itinerary in Tanzania.
I wrote a review for my tour in March 2018 and this is my followup to it. Baboon Budget Safaris was honorable in compensating me for the change in itinerary in Tanzania. I also found out that the Tanzanian part of my tour was in the hands of another operator and it would seem this tour operator is no longer being used by Baboon Safaris due to the poor service they provide to clients, I am very glad to hear this. Baboon has pretty good reviews, so I was very shocked with my tour in Tanzania. It would be wise I think to verify if you are being handed off to another tour operator in the future, then, we, as tourists are able to research that company too. I was unable to edit my previous review unfortunately, so I have done this update.
I appreciate your efforts Mr. Dennis, and thank you again for the compensation.
