Great experience
We did 5 days safari tour (hell's gate, lake nakuru, masai mara) We had a super great experience with this compagny. Hotels and camps were very good and clean. The food is ok. We were disappointed because there are no flamingos at lake Nakuru. But it's not the fault of the compagny. We would not go if we had known before. We recommend this compagny. Patrick is a good driver and a good guide.

This is a great Safari company and the service is wonderful. We are very satisfied!
This is a great Safari company and the service is wonderful. Four of us enjoyed the 10 days trip very much. The director Dennis Mwangangi is very nice and trustworthy. The driver guide Sami tried so hard to let us find all kinds of animals especially lions and other rare animals. We were so satisfied! The price they gave was very reasonable and much better than other companies. They spent hours to help us to design our trip. We would definitely recommend this company to all our friends in China!!!
Reliable and Excellent
We heard of Baboon Budget Safaris by bumping into Bill in the Central Business District of Nairobi on a quiet Saturday. We had not planned any safari tour and Bill talked us into walking to their offices nearby. There, we met the rest of the staff who were very cordial. We ended up booking our tour and Michael scheduled for an early pick-up at our hotel. The tour was awesome!!! We loved every minute of it. The driver was an expert tour guide and we also loved the fact that it was extremely affordable! We appreciate their service, and Bill for stopping us in the middle of the street, even though it seemed a bit sketchy at that time. Thank you Bill for stopping us, you made our stay in Nairobi unforgettable!
Asante sana!

Awesome Experience...Great Value...
Awesome...Awesome...Awesome, was hosting friends in Kenya who had attended my wedding, and we decided to do a safari. Had 'googled' and contacted quite a number of safari tour companies. From the 1st call to BBS there was a clear distinction..
- They were professionals, had a clear itinerary for the safari that fitted into the number of days we wanted and the budget...spot on..great value
- The tour drivers/guides were courteous & very knowledgeable, the camp was decent
I look forward to visiting again, hoping I catch the wildebeest migration in 2016
I've recommended 2 friends to BBS and they've all had positive reviews and comment.

Really nice people. I must say you get value for you money.
Seeing the big five and other animals in their natural habibat was just awesome. The safari was out of the world. Like we were shooting for Nat. Geo. Wild.

Good prices for a good service
I came down to Nairobi and wanted to go to Kilimanjaro and Baboon Budget Safaris took care of everything and I could go the next day which is good when you have limited with time.
They provided we with everything I needed, transport from Nairobi to Arusha, hotel, equipment for the trip, transport to Kilimanjaro, trekking guides etc. I had a really good time there and there organisation was good and standard as well. I was meeting other people on the mountain and they had payed more for exactly the same thing so I was satisfied with what I payed.
The last day I was altitude sick on the mountain so I needed to go down one day earlier and even that was taken care of. So I only have good experiences from my trip and I also recommended them to my friends who made a safari with them and they had the same experience.

Great budget safari company with very helpful staff
We stayed in Kenya and Tanzania last October and we have had an amazing safari experience with Baboon. Though we first planned to visit some tour operators in Nairobi recommended by the Lonely Planet, we soon found out they were a bit too expensive for our budget. Then we asked the hotel where we stayed to contact a safari company they would recommend and they came up with Baboon Safaris. One of their staff, Michael, a great guy, came to visit us, sat down with us and explained us all the options on the table.
Our price included transport, accommodation, food & water, game drives of course, and driver guides. We stayed in a tented camp, a cottage, and at decent hotels in both Kenya and Tanzania. On our last day in Kenya we wanted to change our trip somewhat and this was easily arranged for. The people at Baboon would not stop saying how much they wanted us to enjoy this once in a lifetime experience and they repeated again and again how much they appreciated the fact that we had chosen them to deliver it. This really gave us the feeling we were cared for from start to finish.
In the end we only suffered one inconvenience in Tanzania. Since we flew back from Nairobi, the manager took some time to pay us a visit at our hotel to discuss what had went wrong. We were offered our money back or they would arrange an activity for us on our last day. We chose the latter and we were very happy with it! This again shows their commitment to treat us as their guests. We were very satisfied with how they handled this situation.
In short, budget travellers should definitely go for Baboon! You won't regret it!

good
i am happy with this tour...but we were 8 in our car..
our driver was very helpful..his name was Zac.he showed us the animals and showed their picture in his book...the only thing that i didnt like was Masai camp..the food and tents wasnt ok...i know that was a budget camp...but when i compare it to amboseli camp i think it was very bad...because amboseli camp was really clean...comfort with nice food. with 24 hours electricity!
i hope they can change the camp in Masai mara...
