Untrustworthy, changes to itinerary, skipped site, misleading communications...
I do not recommend this tour company. No compensation for changed itinerary with a site completely skipped that was on my tour, no pickup in Arusha on arrival, poor customer relations and misleading communications from day to day, difficulty with payment at national park resulting in lost time on drive, not enough room in vehicle for equipment so stacked tents on top resulting in no pop up viewing one day. It just seems the operator wants money and cannot deliver what is promised. Be very wary when touring in Tanzania. Enough said. I have experienced several safaris, and this one is the only one that I can say was regrettable.

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

Very pleased-Baboon Budget Came Through with some Compensation For changed itinerary in Tanzania.
I wrote a review for my tour in March 2018 and this is my followup to it. Baboon Budget Safaris was honorable in compensating me for the change in itinerary in Tanzania. I also found out that the Tanzanian part of my tour was in the hands of another operator and it would seem this tour operator is no longer being used by Baboon Safaris due to the poor service they provide to clients, I am very glad to hear this. Baboon has pretty good reviews, so I was very shocked with my tour in Tanzania. It would be wise I think to verify if you are being handed off to another tour operator in the future, then, we, as tourists are able to research that company too. I was unable to edit my previous review unfortunately, so I have done this update.
I appreciate your efforts Mr. Dennis, and thank you again for the compensation.

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.

In need it was a great pleasure to visit Kenya safari through Baboon Safari. I would like to appreciate their service, transport facility, accommodation. Really the staff took pain to make Safari tour a great success. Baboon safari group left no stone unturned to show all most all species of wild life. Thanks to Baboon safari for commitment to give a great experience......
