Dreamlike safari
Our safari was a dream! We were in Amboseli and Tsavo West National Park. We were able to arrange the safari flexibly and even had someone bring us to the Voi train station at the end, as we wanted to travel on to Mombasa. Even before the safari started, the Venture team advised us well and the price-performance ratio was absolutely right. We were picked up at our accommodation in Nairobi and from there we set off. Antony, our guide, was very helpful and engaging and showed us the best spots and we even saw the Big Five. He was able to give us information about all the animals and always left us enough time to observe the in peace or take photos. We felt comfortable and safe with him at all times. We were well advised by Venture about the accommodation and stayed at AA Lodge and Ngulia Lodge. In addition, the team was there for us around the clock and the communication with the team went smoothly via WhatsApp.
I would highly recommend a safari with Venture Africa Budget Safaris.

Far below expectations
I did the 1-night stay tour and it was quite a disappointment. Game drives are too short in duration (overall 5 hours) while 11+ hours are needed to go to Masai Mara and back. Period is supposed to be ideal to see the great migration, but we didn't get the chance to see it, as "there was not enough time to go to the river", which is practically a matter of tour guide decision! Staying at the outskirts of the reserve, close to the gate, automatically meant less chances of seeing all the animals. In fact we got to see just 3 out of the big 5 (lion, buffalo, elephant), and not even other animals that are supposed to be present in large numbers (cheetahs, crocodiles, hyenas etc), which doesn't make any real difference compared to going to Nairobi National Park which is right next to the capital. No comment on the accomodation or food, as these are definetely secondary issues for all visitors. If i knew before, I wouldn't do it.

Good experience
The Agency is well organize, the personnel is very kind and helpful. The transport it is not very comfortable, the car was quite old and since we had to expend many hours in the car, on very bumpy roads, it was a bit hard for us. The tends were just very simple and basic with a lot of mosquitoes and the mosquito nets were not very functional. Food was good. Overall we had a good experience, we saw many animals.

Not recommendable
After making the reservation 2 months before arriving (in Spain), hotels were full with NO reservation from agency. My trip was 9 days. We had to share rooms 5 nights; we paid for double rooms. After calling the agency, no response. One month later, We are still waiting for a compensation or justification. Baboon is the same company.

Maravilloso Safari y equipo
Diana from Venture Africa organized an amazing trip for us which took us to Maasai Mara, Lake Navaisha, Hells Gate and Amboseli. Diana kept in contact with us during the entire booking process. Our driver and guide for the trip was the fantastic, Solomon who was extremely knowledgeable and untiringly ensured that we saw as many animals as possible. On our trip we saw many different animals in all kinds of situations and were lucky enough to see all kinds of baby animals. The accommodation provided on safari was excellent and the vehicle was comfortable.
I would wholeheartedly recommend both Diana and Solomon for anyone looking for an unforgettable, value for money safari experience in Kenya.

Super organisational skills and a wonderful safari experience!
Diana was excellent at answering all of our questions, tailoring the safari to our needs, and making sure everything was organised well in advance. We did a 6 night / 7 day safari covering Masai Mara, Laka Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate and Amboseli. It was the perfect amount of time for seeing everything - the animals and foliage were different at each park, so I enjoyed moving around, even if it did mean long periods in the van.
