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.

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.

A great and adventurous experience with courteous staff guiding every step.
Communications is good and i must commend the company the good staff they have. It is understandable given the big numbers at Maasai Mara for the Christmas holiday not everything was expected to be 100% but it was a worthy experience. The safari tour itself is good but there always room for improvement and additions which i believe the company is seized. Mara i think is an expansive area which can be explored more though i fully understand this will increase the number of days one takes and the cost. This i humbly think would be a good consideration for the company as they plan ahead.

Fantastic Safari Experience for Cheap
Our safari experience greatly exceeded our expectations. Additionally, we felt the safari was a very good value, and I would book through this same company in the future. All transportation and hand-offs went very well. Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly and enabled us to see everything that we wanted. We felt safe at all times, with no problems or hiccups along the way. The food provided was good, and we were never hungry. They fed us well. Finally, the communication of the office was fantastic, allowing us to experience the exact safari we were looking for. A terrific experience and highly recommended! Note: both camping and accommodation (lodge-hotel) options are available. We did a combination of both. I thought the camping was fine. However, my father would have preferred the lodges. The lodge we did stay in was amazing. It was fun hearing the noises of the wildlife while camping.

Amazing Masaimara
I went to Kenya for GES 2015 and I had no plans of going to Masaimara but I heard so much about the place that I abruptly decided to go. I was looking for a Safari operator and met Diana. It was Sunday but still she helped me book my tour. I was extremely happy to receive their cooperation and hospitality. They worked hard to help me make the most use of my time and I am thankful to them.

Great Value for the Price
Did a 7 Day Safari and was very nice. The accommodation were comfortable, plenty of food and friendly people. Saw all of the big 5 except Leopards The Safari guide was very knowledgeable of the animals and gave us excellent insight not only about the animals but also about the landscape and trees. Next time however I would do a shorter safari, after a while we were seeing the same animals. Still a nice adventure’

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.

We saw so many animals everything you would expect from a safari!! Highlights included elephants, lions, giraffes, ostrich, zebras, hyena’s, water buffalo, various antelopes and wilder beast. The tents were authentic! Loved it!
