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.

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.

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!
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

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.

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

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.
