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!

Amazing safari which far exceeded all my expectations
I was on the 7-day group joining safari from Baboon Budget Safaris at the end of August. My guide was Joseph and he and the whole safari was just amazing. Everything went well, I was picked up at the airport the day before the safari and brought to my hotel. The entire 7 days were perfectly planned, the camps / hotels were very comfortable and clean. My expectations about the safari were more than exceeded, I was able to observe some lions up close and of course many other animals. Joseph always tried his best to give us the best view of the animals. Thanks to his many years of experience as a guide, we were able to get the best out of the safari. Furthermore, Joseph always knew some interesting facts about the animals we spotted. After the breathtaking game drives, we always had enough time to relax or to sit around the campfire for a drink. All in all, it was just a perfect time to which our guide joseph made a significant contribution. I can really recommend everyone to book a tour with Baboon Budget. I will definitely come back again! :)

Everything was exactly as agreed. Dennis was espectacular on trying to arrange the days the way we would like it to be. Very patient, very kind and responsive. Bonface was our drive and guide. He is a great guide, always alert and ready to answer all questions. A 5 star journey to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru! Highly recommend!!!

Choose from the big 5 what you want to see and you will see...
This was a great choice and an amazing experience. I chose a 7-day safari with Baboon Budget Safaris and enjoyed every second. Our guide Joseph was completely dedicated to providing the best of every national park and every place we visited. He also took care of our safety by showing us local life. During the tour he gave us enough private space to enjoy, and in the meantime, he gave us the best experience of Kenya. I saw so many animals and the safari was highlight of my trip around Kenya. Everything was well planned and it was as defined at the beginning of the tour. I will highly recommend them to all my friends. Also, I will come back and choose the Baboon Budget Safaris again for the other parts of Kenia. I have new friends in Kenya: Baboon Budget Safaris and Joseph!!!

Experience of a lifetime
We went to kenya during covid in july 2021 and it was one of the best experiences ever.. Baboon budget safari were super nice and helpful throughout the whole trip.. They made sure that our itenerary is well organized and tailored, so that we will be covering all the attractions in our tight timeline... The best part of the trip was our guide Anthony.. Truly a genuine guy who made sure we wont miss out on anything during our game drives.. He was always going the extra mile to make sure we encounter all types of wildlife and was very informative and gave an in breadth explanation of everything during the game drives which really took our experience to a whole new level... Definately recommend kenya and baboon safari as a must do on your bucket list

Outstanding
I originally booked through a different safari company but as a solo traveler, I guess they didn't want to provide the service so it appears they kind of "sold me off" to Baboon Budget Safaris. I'm so glad they did!
My driver was Anthony and we had another solo traveler like me on the safari. Anthony is a great driver, super knowledgeable, funny and was constantly making sure we were doing okay. We stayed at Miti Mingi Eco Camp. I was pleasantly surprised. The food is good, owner was friendly, bed was comfortable, pillows were nice, shower was hot, electricity worked fine, etc. He even let me borrow a towel because I forgot mine.
Both days with game drives were beyond words. We saw gazelles, giraffes, cheetahs, leopard, water buffalo, elephants, jackos, hyenas, elends, wildebeasts, warthogs, etc. But the true highlight came after Anthony worked his magic and we found a pride of lions. Shortly after we arrived, they made an attempt to kill a huge water buffalo! The hunt was unsuccessful but it was still a site I will never forget. We had a nice picnic in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Anthony knows everything about what we saw; the animals, plants, birds, etc. He could answer all our questions.
On the last day, we had a nice visit at a Maasai village. Also, such a wonderful experience.
I will return to Kenya again. This was my second time here already but it was my first safari experience. I want to come back again with my family. When I do, I will not even consider booking with another company. I will book with Baboon Budget Safaris and I will request that Anthony be our guide. I highly recommend this company who wants to have amazing memories of their time in the Maasai Mara.

Esperienza Magica!
Perfect experience from start to finish! Ever since I contacted Baboonbudget by email to ask (a thousand) questions, they have been helpful and quick to respond and have been able to offer me an experience tailored to my requests. Marvin, my guide for the 4 days, is not only competent and will answer all your questions about the parks, but he is excellent company, and will also answer your questions about Kenya: an interesting person, helpful and kind.
The parks then, what can I say ... magical!
