Excellent experiences in Kenya and Tanzania
Everything went smoothly since our arrival. They received us at the airport and drove us to hotel on the first night. The next day we met Dennis, who explain us every single part of our contracted program, so no doubts appeared. After that we started our trip and at this moment we knew Ambrose: the pearl in the ocean! Magnificent road trip and great Safaris, in which Ambrose ran through the savannah to find and show us all the Big 5, and explained us everything we asked (he also was studying birds, so he could explain more). Brilliant guide/driver, well worthy hiring (even though he only makes Kenya trips)
We do recommend these people, as our experience has been absolutely amazing.

Credible, cost-effective, efficient 4-day Masai-Nakuru UPGRADE Landcruiser transport and Luxe accon
Dennis is the man who does the organization really well! We took a 4-day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru private tour on a Landcruiser car and stayed in Lake Nakuru Lodge and Mara Sopa Lodge. We saw all the Big Five (and lots more) and had some exposure to a Masai community. From the initial touchbase communications, through deciding on the package, through tweaking of arrangements, payment options, and even decisions on upgrades, Dennis is there all the way through! We also had an awesome experience with driver, John, who has been very flexible and shared with us knowledge of the parks (he has done this for almost 20 years). Thanks again, Dennis for the flawless organization, competitive pricing, efficient communications, and the superb service by John our driver!

Mara, Nakuru & Amboseli in 5 days, saw the big 5 & got money-shot photo of elephants/Kilimanjaro
Kenya is not Disneyland and I think it is important to keep that in mind. The animals are wild and unpredictable and the lodging is far from the cities and off the grid. That being said I had an amazing time and really enjoyed the adventure. Really this was all thanks to my guide Ali. He picked me up from Nairobi and dropped me back off at the airport afterwards so he was with me every step of the way. He, in my mind's eye, is Kenya, all the smiles, jokes, observations and commentary. He is an aggressive driver which is what you want if you are in the park only for a short time and are trying to see all the animals and also if you are trying to get between parks before sundown. He has a keen eye not only for spotting animals but also for measuring my energy levels and when I started falling asleep in the van he called it a day and took me back to the lodge to sleep. The lodges were way nicer than my needs, I am used to backpacking through hostels. These lodges all had wifi and full bars/restaurants. If Could do it all over again I wouldn't change anything although when I go back I will likely spend more time in Masai Mara. It is the largest park I visited and I felt like I barely scratched the surface. There I saw lions and cheetahs with cubs and a leopard stalking a gazelle. There are elephants and giraffes everywhere and there were hippos. We needed to go to Nakuru to see the rhino but might have been able to see it in Mara if we had spent more time. And then Amboseli had the most beautiful views of Kilimanjaro in the mornings. My best photo by far was an elephant family framed beautifully with Kilimanjaro in the background in the morning as I was leaving... #priceless

Exciting, memorable and greatest safari we have ever experienced. Great guide and bookings
The safari was well organised. Pick up was on time , driver guide was very cautious, friendly, courteous and patient to ensure we saw the wildlife. He explained to us all that needed to be known. We saw many animals and birds. Baboon safaris is the best tour firm ever. Kimana camp and ngulia lodge were also good accommodations

Perfect and amazing experience
We had a tour to Masai Mara and Ambuseli with Baboon Budget Safaris and it was amazing! Everything was planned perfect and even the price was reasonable.
If I come to Kenya once more, definitely I choose their safari tours again.

Breathtaking wildlife experience
We had an amazing 7 days tour through Kenyan parks. Our journey started few months ahead when booking and discussing all the details with provider - all simple and instructions clear, they were even able to buy us extra train tickets for our next travels (thanks Susan!). Our real journey started in Nairobi where Anthony, our driver, picked us in a hotel and brought together with other 6 guys. All of us together made a great group and had a lot of fun, sharing this experience in larger group was definitely a pro. Our path went through Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. All these places were amazing and very variable, from landscape, flora and also fauna point of view. Our driver and guide Anthony was very skilled and passionate to his work, all made with love and smile on his face - from crazy bumpy driving to quietly spotting the smallest birds. And always dealing with all our requests and lots of silly questions in very friendly way.
Not everything is easy and comfortable on a safari tour, you will wake up very early, keep up with simple local food, sleep in tents when hearing the roaring wildness all night and spending most of your days in car. But once you take all these "struggles" as a starting point you will deserve truly breathtaking experience and you will love it all (as we did).

Amazing experience!
I did a 6 day safari with Simon, he has been an excellent driver and he is also an amazing spotter for animals. He let me take all my time to take all the pictures I wanted, and I could learned a lot with him and having an amazing experience. I Can only recommend this tour operator !
