Really good organization
I travelled alone to Kenya for enjoying a 5 days Safari.
The trip was as described in the agreed Agenda; our guide/driver had a really professional behabiour; all Parks we visited (Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha) were wonderful and we could see the 5 five... This Safari Co. so recommendable!

Excellent and enjoyable
Babon safari was a random pick in nairobi. My contact person was Dennis who had given me quite good rates for the day trips. I ve used their services for 4 days at several places. The drivers that was as a guide (bon and teddy) both are very nice and experienced and had made our tour enjoyable.

7-days budget trip
Just finished the Kenya trip. On the back to NL. When the memory still fresh: I chose tbe budget 7 day safari trip via Mojhi.com: Nairobi - Masai Mara- Nakuru - Amboseli - Naivasha - Nairobi. If this is not your first time, no need to go via Mojhi (they charge 10% fee), but since it was my first time alone in Kenya and due to lack of trust in the varied quotes and quality from local travel companies, I did it via Mojhi and the fee was worth it. I was grouped with other six people (fortunately they were all very lovely which was obviously very important). The first two nights in Maaisa Mara was in a campsite (as I chose): in my tent there was no hot water for shower the first night, but in general a good experience, the sky in the night was amazing, btw, no internet in campsites (no surprise), there was mosquito net but I still got bitten a lot, mosquito spray is a MUST; one night in Nauru was in a hotel with 3- star hotel condition (with WiFi); in Amboseli it was campsite again but operated differently; till the last destination to Naivasha I was the only one left (other people in my group had shorter program), so got a private tour. Got to say it was pretty decent that the service quality remained the same: I wanted to take a walk in the town of Naivasha and didn’t plan to bother the guide (Bonifse if I spelled it correctly) since he had been driving long hours and it was not in the program, but he insisted to come along which turned out to be very necessary: there were not many tourists going into the town, I was stared by people along the way, some drink guys on the street were saying something (I suspected not nice things) and my guide now turned to a security guard. The hotel in Naivasha was decent too. Last day when I was brought back to Nairobi, my program officially ended, but since my flight was in the midnight, there were still a couple of hours so my guide arranged a smaller car and another driver Teddy showed me around a bit of Nairobi for free and dropped me off at the airport in the evening. Very happy with it. Had a pleasent chat with Teddy. Coming to the driver+guide, ours Bonifse was very punctual (actually he was one hour earlier to pick me up the first day because he took the traffic jam into account in the morning), not super talkative but very responsible person. Man, the roads conditions were tough especially in Amboseli. Be prepared.
Got to say the trip with Baboo was a good one, felt taken care of, turely enjoyed it.

3-day safari in Masai Mara fantastic, day trips in Nairobi bit disappointing.
We booked our trips with BB Safaris on arrival in Nairobi. Our day trips in Nairobi to the elephant orphanage and giraffe centre were good and well worth the visit but the 1-day safari to Nairobi National Park was disappointing with a 'driver' rather than a 'guide'. Our 4 hour schedule was reduced to 3 hours with an unplanned, and quite frankly, unwanted visit to a snake centre. I didn't enjoy the day which is why I've scored 4 instead of 5.
However, our 3-day trip to the Masai Mara was outstanding! This was mainly through our guide (Patrick) being so expert in knowing where to find the animals and getting us the most amazing sights of animals in their natural habitat and family scenes unfolding in front of us as we watched enthralled. I am still buzzing from the experience!!
For a budget safari we felt we had a fantastic trip that was worth the money.

They behaved dishonorably
I signed a lease contract with Patrick for Nissan X-Trail from 5.09 to 25.09.17, I've paid him for rentingת and left him a deposit of 500 USD.
At 25.09.17 I've returned the car. Patrick examined her and then drove her to the parking lot. He said that he have to go to the bank to refund me a the 500 dollars. Patrick did not return with the money.

Great service at budget prices
We did a 10 day safari with baboon budget through Kenya and Tanzania . We visited Masai mara , Lake Nakuru , Ambroselli , Lake Manyara , Serengeti & Ngoro ngoro crater . Saw the big 5 and much much more . Camping most nights but nice tents , good food and great guides - highly recommended for the price . We also booked our Kilimanjaro climb through baboon budget which again was great value for money and well organised . If you want a budget safari look no further !

Truly the best within budget- Baboon Budget
I had booked a 5 days trip with baboon team with Masai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru and had a chance to see all the big five and migration as well.
Many thanks to Mr. Dennis, Mr. Albert and specially our driver and host- Mr. Gipson.
It was a real fun trip and very well coordinated though we had multiple complex team mebers with different schedules altogether. The team managers are so good in handling and in hospitality. Mr. Gipson is an amazing and helpful driver who ensures that customers see every animal available in Masai Mara.

3 days Maasai Mara
I would like to thank this way to the Baboon Budget Safaris company which has provided a great experience in Maasai Mara reserve. We have booked a private 3 day safari and it was incredible. Special thanks to the driver and guide Mr. Ambros, not only that he is very experienced driver, also knows everything about animals. I am very grateful. I would also want to thank Mr. Teddy, who has taken care of us after the safari. Hope to see you again, keep it up guys :)
