What a fantastic experience!
This safari would have been a bargain at twice the price. Communication was prompt and helpful right from the start. Things ran according to schedule. Our full day spent in Masaai Mara far exceeded my expectations. Our driver Bonaface was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We saw almost every species of large mammal on several occasions. We drove extensively in the park. I simply can’t say enough good things about this company, and our three day, two night Journey.

Perfect experience
All very well, the small incidents that occurred in the 5 days were solved quickly and efficiently by the agency.

Great guide and driver and beautiful Kenya
I had a great experience with this company!
Especially Anthony our guide was very helpful! We all thoroughly enjoyed his guidance and he was a very good driver as well!
Keep in mind that some of the lodging in Lake Nakuru was a bit scoffed, I recommend you ask for a room with proper mosquito nets, as we had a bad night there with many mosquitos.
Otherwise, the trip was amazing, and we can fully recommend this company and ask for Anthony as your guide!

Mr felix was a decent helpful guy and very organized
I booked the full trip through whatsapp with Mr Dennis, he had variety of options in the accommodations and could peacefully choose the place based on my budget and preference. Mr Flex was with us during the full trip 5 days safari starting from picking up from the airport to lake navish and lake nakura and then massari marra.. the accommodations in all 3 locations where perfect and really enjoyed the full trip. Mr fleix was very organized and know alot of history and we really enjoyed our trip with him. I would highly recommend bamboo safari for my friends in Dubai and especially Mr felix as a tour guide

They really care
I love baboon safaris. I even went 3 times with them. The owner is very, very kind, he even met me for coffee!!, and he always gave me great drivers,one was called Dennis (for a 1 week trip and a 3 day trip) and he was the best guide ever and one was Anthony and he also was stunning. They REALLY cared for me. I went alone and so it is important you can trust. You can. I d always choose them again. The more expensive the accomodations the better the experience will also be, so I plan to choose their best accomodations always. They really help you immediately, even if it's just a stop for a coke. Anthony identified the tiniest grey birds for me. We saw the wildebeast migration, guess Dennis gave me the best place to film it, he was so motivated to make it the best for me. Miss you all. Hope to be back soon. Dennis wanted to drove non stop from 6 to sunset so that I get the most out of it. Really really so devoted.

Amazing First Safari Experience in Kenya and Tanzania
I will recommend Baboon Budget Safari to anyone who is looking for a budget safari tour. From the start, Dennis has been very attentive and responsive to every question and concern that I have. He also allowed me to customize the itinerary to my preferences and even later on when I brought some friends with me on the tour. The price was also suitable for my budget since I am still a student. My driver guides in Kenya and Tanzania were both very helpful, excellent drivers, and knowledgeable guides - always ready to go above and beyond to meet our needs. I got to see so many animals: zebras, giraffes. wildebeests, antelopes, the big 5, flamingoes, and so many more. The accommodations were basic inside the national parks but that's what you should expect on a safari tour. The food was always good and one night I even got to sleep next to the zebras grazing outside - an amazing experience that I will never forget. Pick-ups and transportation were smooth at every point! There were some hiccups here and there with the logistics because of COVID but what I appreciated the most is that Dennis was always there to help, he has a lot of connections, and he always did what he promised to do. He even helped me get my COVID test certificate to fly back. Everyone I met was helpful and friendly. I could not ask for a better tour and better operator and will definitely go with Baboon Safari again if I ever come back to Africa!
