Brilliant! Money well spent.
Anthony was an amazing driver who got us up close to the animals. We seen every animal you could wish to see on a safari apart from the rhinos. He spoke very good English and was able to explain things to our group about the animals. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had.

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! :)

Amazing safari!
I took a safari with Baboonbudget and had Boniface as my tour guide for five days. He tought me so much about his country and nature - I really enjoyed it. Very uncomplicated and honest. Can only recommend it if you are looking for a budget safari in Kenya!

Great end-to-end service
Did an amazing 10 day tour across Kenya and Tanzania. The whole trip was perfectly organized by the team and our guides were very knowledgable, which made the drives around the parks very enriching and relaxing at the same time.
Great value for money offering options for every type of budget and level of comfort (although budget in Kenya is already quite a nice level of comfort)

Best driver
I came to Baboon Budget Safaris by booking a Kenya-Tanzania combo tour through a different tour operator. Bonifas was a perfect driver for our group. He really stays focused on finding the animals. He knows the other drivers in Maasai Mara well and uses the radio to stay on top of all the activity in the park. He’s also nice and fun to be around. If their other drivers are half as good as Bonifas, you can’t go wrong with Baboon.

Epic journey and wonderful experiance
We have booked two weeks safari with Baboonbudget, including Kenya and Tanzania parks. That was an excellent choice for our first trip to East Africa and our first safari. The first lesson we learned is that your safari depends entirely on your guide. Because of that fact, we had an incredible safari thanks to Boniface. Our whole two-week journey started unbelievably when Boniface picked us up in front of our hotel and when we saw that our van was empty. We booked a shared tour, but we were alone in our van together with Boniface for the whole ten days in Kenya. At the start of the journey, we explained that we would like to learn about animals and about history, tribes, way of life, and everything that we can learn about Kenya. Boniface gave his best to explain to us everything, from different regions' agriculture relations between the tribe up to complex Kenyan political history. He spent days answering our numerous questions, so when he left us on the Namanga border, we had a feeling that we learned a lot about Kenya. Safari and parks experience was a wonderful experience since Boniface's trained eye and constant will to see behind the next hill allowed us to spot most of the wildlife habitat. We learned a lot from them about birds, wildlife, different vegetation and climate, animal habits, so we had some basic knowledge for every safari after this. We didn't have any problems regarding camps and hotels since we booked a budget tour and were staying in budget accommodations. Only the camp in Amboseli was below our expectations and needed some serious repairs. Still, all the other places were quite lovely and comfortable. We had a great time in Tanzania also, but we can't compare it to our experience with you in Kenya. We spent all the time in Tanzania comparing parks, people and especially the tour. In Tanzania, we had that (obviously many times practised) tour with probably the same sentences on the same spots, with no additional questions. When you add sleeping in tents in thunderstorms in front of empty tented houses, you can freely say that there wasn't much for us besides Tanzania's great food and parks. But still, that was enough. Maybe Boniface set some high standards of a great guide with whom we left Kenya with a feeling of the understanding country, culture, parks, tribes, animals, and politics. Since we didn't get the same in Kenya, we were a bit disappointed. Still, altogether, we spent a perfect two weeks on this journey with Baboon budget safaris. Thanks Boni!

Great safari trip in Kenya with Baboon early February 2022
I booked a 9-days group safari in February 2022 (Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, both Tsavo parks) plus a 5 days stay at Diani Beach. Baboon boss Dennis was very reactive during the booking process and all my wishes were taken into consideration, i.e. I also visited Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and Giraffe Centre in Nairobi and some other locations I wanted to see before safari departure. It was a marvellous journey with Maasai Mara in a luxurious green and many many animals in each park (yes, I saw the Big Five ;-) . My guide Mike Mutunga is a very reliable and knowledgeable guide and was eager to show me the maximum of animals. Although I booked a group safari, there was only one tourist with me during 3 days and most of the time I had the van/driver for myself. The accommodation was budget category, but that was ok for me (good beds and food) and staff was always helpful. I then took the train from Mombasi to Nairobi to catch my return flight and I can recommend this way of transport as well (very modern and clean and right on time).
So I can really recommend Baboon Safari in Kenya.
