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.

Professional tour operations
I have contact Mr. Dennis in advance to arrange our game reserve tour. Dennis arranged everything for us very fast and promptly reply. Till the day we met in Nairobi. He came to pick us up on time at the hotel with warm and friendly service. Then we started our trip to Massai Mara. The road was very muddy and slippery. Our driver/guide Ambrose was very good and professional on what he’s doing. Our experience in the trip was excellent. Ambrose drove us around to see all the big five and visited Maasai village. It’s very fantastic experience here. We stayed at Mara Sopa Lodge; our safari experience was complete here. Big bed, clean room and good food. On the way back to Nairobi, the road condition was very bad because of raining. Our van got stuck in the mud many times but Ambrose and Joseph( my friends’s driver) drove us back to Nairobi safely. People from Baboon budget tour really make us feel like a good friend talking care of each other. We really feel connected with them. And our next trip to Africa, baboon budget tour will arrange everything for us surely. Highly recommend

Impeccable service
We had an amazing experience in beautiful Masai Mara. We had Ambrose and Joseph as our guides. They are extremely nice, helpful, and bubbly. Though the awful road conditions, they made us feel like nothing is a real big deal. They knew exactly what they do, even in difficult situation they remained calm. A true Hakuna Matata! They went out of their way to make sure that we are happy. Even in the jungle, we felt safe and comfortable. It was indeed a home away from home. And of course, Dennis was super helpful and responded to everything we wished for. They did not only provide the high standard service but also warm friendship. Highly recommended.
Very good experience with my driver Ambrose
What you do think about the communications, service, living up to expectations, the safari tour itself and so on?
Very good experience with my driver Ambrose

Overall we had an amazing experience on safari, also our driver was very knowledgeable and friendly
Good points:
Food – it was always hot and cooked fresh, there were always options for veg and non veg
Additional add on’s such as Lake Nakuru were worthwhile paying for as they added an extra experience and sometimes gave us a break from being the van
Campsite – all 3 were very decent, bed linen, towels and hot water. Always had a bed and mosquito net and there were areas to hang out after meals
Scenery! The views were amazing, regardless of whether this was in the parks or driving across the country!
Driver – Ambrose was excellent, very knowledgeable and always knew the places to find the animals with the best views
Points to note:
Generator – power only for certain amount of time, always check before going to sleep what the timing will be
There is a possibly of having ‘outdoor’ toilet and shower
You will need your passport to get into Masi Mara Park
The distance of driving was more than expected, especially from Lake Nakuru to Amboselli
It would be good to have a map to understand distances covered and the different areas
Be prepared to be sold merchandise at each stop/break
Collection at the airport was confusing. Had to call and text Dennis (an international call!)

Amazing safari, not the most professional company
I travelled alone to Tanzania and booked through Baboon Budget. Let me state that the guides were great and the location amazing. What was not the best was the communication ahead of time. I chose a total of 4 lodges for my 10 days safari between Serengeti and area and Selous. I only stayed at 1 of the 4 I chose. Abram who handles trips in Tanzania seemed a little sketchy. He tried to change my itinerary and changed my lodges. Warranted I ended up in better places. I would go back there in a heartbeat but I probably would not book with them again. I didn't appreciate itinerary changes and not knowing where I was going to be staying.

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!
