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

The safari tour was really good and fantastic! Especially with Ambrose (the driver)! He is really nice and satisfied all our requests. I really learn a lot about animals from him. I saw every thing I wanted to see and took a lot of great animals. Ambrose is the expert to find animals! I really enjoyed my whole trip!

Amazing Tour Experience!
The safari tour was really good! Especially with our driver Ambrose! He is an expert to find animals and I learn a lot of things about animals from him! He is really good! And the people here are so kind. Whenever I got something wrong, they will help me to solve it! The hotel and the camps are also good, near the park so we can got into the park very early! I really enjoyed my whole trip!

Brilliant and well worth the money!
I cannot thank Baboon Budget Safari enough for making my first two weeks in Kenya so brilliant! Of course the accommodation was basic but thats what you're paying for. The team look after you every step of the way from airport pick up to finishing in Nairobi, Tabitha was available by whatapp whenever I needed her to sort out buses and pick up times etc, really settling for any solo or new travellers. Mansur was my guide and he was fantastic making sure we saw as much as possible! The itinerary does change depending on weather etc but I still did everything as arranged just in a different order. thank you Baboon Budget!

Outstanding
I originally booked through a different safari company but as a solo traveler, I guess they didn't want to provide the service so it appears they kind of "sold me off" to Baboon Budget Safaris. I'm so glad they did!
My driver was Anthony and we had another solo traveler like me on the safari. Anthony is a great driver, super knowledgeable, funny and was constantly making sure we were doing okay. We stayed at Miti Mingi Eco Camp. I was pleasantly surprised. The food is good, owner was friendly, bed was comfortable, pillows were nice, shower was hot, electricity worked fine, etc. He even let me borrow a towel because I forgot mine.
Both days with game drives were beyond words. We saw gazelles, giraffes, cheetahs, leopard, water buffalo, elephants, jackos, hyenas, elends, wildebeasts, warthogs, etc. But the true highlight came after Anthony worked his magic and we found a pride of lions. Shortly after we arrived, they made an attempt to kill a huge water buffalo! The hunt was unsuccessful but it was still a site I will never forget. We had a nice picnic in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Anthony knows everything about what we saw; the animals, plants, birds, etc. He could answer all our questions.
On the last day, we had a nice visit at a Maasai village. Also, such a wonderful experience.
I will return to Kenya again. This was my second time here already but it was my first safari experience. I want to come back again with my family. When I do, I will not even consider booking with another company. I will book with Baboon Budget Safaris and I will request that Anthony be our guide. I highly recommend this company who wants to have amazing memories of their time in the Maasai Mara.
Best Safari experience ever
Anthony and Mike were our tour guides for the 3 days Safari to Masai Mara. Excellent communication, travel and accommodation + food. Both guys really delighted us with their guidance and the almost private tour we got in the park. Beautiful days with beautiful people. I only can recommend the two and the travel agency.

Serious company
I am very satisfied with my 4day3nights Budget safari to Maasai-Mara. Baboon delivered everything that was promised with fair quality and high professionalism. The driver guide Boniface that followed us and managed every moment of the tour was excellent. I got great value for my money indeed.

If its Kenya, it better be Baboon!
After much research, we chose Baboon for our trip to Kenya and they did not disappoint! They had options starting with low $$ all the way upto luxury ones and we chose the mid-range packages
In an unknown land, their drivers+Guides made us feel so comfortable, almost like we were at home! They were there to pick up from the airport, and the transitions from each location to another were super smooth. The guides know Kenya really well and have been doing this for many years, their experience is unmatched!
The guides would go out of their way to give us an authentic experience, showing us all the Big5, and other animals. Highly professional team
Right from the start, Dennis, their team leader helped us pick the right accommodation options, gave us great pricing, and arranged everything just how we liked it.
The two guides we had on our trip were Bonifas and Joseph and they were both the best guides we could have asked for!
