Wonderful journey to heaven of animals
The driver&guide Stanley was so knowledgable and nice, and he drives so well. Thanks to him, we saw a lot of animals and enjoyed our time. We saw double rainbows, and most of the animals, even lions eating meat!! That was so amazing.
The accomodation(camp) and food could be improved, though. There were only certain time that you could use electricity and I didn’t know that before I go there. And the staff told us that hot water is for 24 hours but most of us had difficulties when having shower because there was no hot water.
And we didn’t get our drinking water from any staff so I had to ask for other people.
But in general, it was a wonderful time with Baboon Budget Safari.

An experience of a lifetime!
Our safari with baboon budget safari was an incredible experience. You get so much for what you pay for. The accommodations were great including a Cabin-like tent with beds, shower, and bathroom. The excursions were amazing and we saw so many animals, no matter if you were on a budget or private or fancy safari, we all saw the same things. Going at the beginning of June was a great time too, because the crowds haven’t made it yet and we had many private moments with just our vehicle and the animals. I would recommend this to all of my friends and family.

Patrick Atweng'a (introduced to me by at baboon office) stole 500$ which left as a deposit
A year ago my parents rented a car trough babbon tours from guy named Patrick Otieno Atweng'a...
after 3 weeks of using the car my folks returned it but never saw any of the the deposit, they were left to wait for couple of hours for the thief to come back - which never happened.
Baboon tours admitted their responsebility for Patrick Otieno Atweng'a action and promising me to deal the issue and return the stolen money..
I was in touch with mr. Dennis across the year via watsap and every time he gave me another excuse.
Beware of Baboon budget tours and other scammers...
Thank you for nothing mr. dennis behalf my parents and me

Accommodating and Flexible
This company is all about being flexible, especially to single travelers who are looking to experience the wildlife at their own pace and personal interests. My guide, Joseph, was with me for 6 days and always made sure to show me as much wildlife as possible, if it meant getting up early, staying out on late drives or driving at top speeds to catch rare sightings. He was knowledgeable with over 10 years of experience. He was patient when he needed to be and did well handling a wide variety of travelers.

Great safari at a great price
The gane drives on the Maasai Mara in Kenya were amazing. Accomodations were basic thiugh sufficient. It was a budget safari after all.
Joseph was a great guide and expert2 at finding wildlife.
All in all had a lot of fun.

Awesome experience
Valuable for
Epic
Our safari guide, Solomon, was truly exceptional. After twelve years of doing these tours, he still treats every cat sighting like it’s a thrill. There was so much more excitement than I anticipated and a lot of that was due to him. He was knowledgeable and passionate and I’d encourage anyone with $742 USD to spend it going to Lake Nakuru (plus boat safari), Masai Mara and Amboseli with Solomon.

A fantastic and exciting Safari experience
Our experience was beyond expectations from day one! Solomon was an awesome guide who drove us between four different parks over the course of a week. He made sure he knew what we wanted to see and went out of his way to find it! We saw way more wildlife than I could have ever imagined and Solomon knew the parks so well that we always got a great view (and never got stuck!) I always felt safe with him, whether on the insane highways or stuck in animal traffic jams. I thought it was great that we always traveled in groups in case we or another van had problems. The only downside was the food was quite plain, but you're not on safari for the food!

Awesome!!
The service of all staff was exceptional. Specially the Safari driver /guide Mr Ambrose was an awesome person who made sure all communication was clear, we we're at the right place at the right time ensuring we spot the big 5. Also did Mt Kenya trek with Mr Ken and he was an exceptional good mountain guide. Very happy with Baboon safari giving the best of mountain/safari guides.
