My grandsons first holiday in Kenya.
What can I say. Absolutely fabulous. From the very first communication with Annette, to being dropped off at the airport by Enoch. This company is superb. The reason for the trip to educate my two grandsons, age 9/11. Far better than sitting in a classroom. Annette kept us inform at every stage of the booking process. Recommended the best hotels, for our needs.. I must say that the hotels were in the superior bracket, and wonderful. The food and staff where second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. Our boys were well looked after. The hotels Mara Game Lodge and Lion Lodge. Our driver Enoch was a delightful man, very caring. A very safe driver and amazing guide. The amount of wildlife we encounter was truly overwhelming. Lastly please may I thank you both for being such lovely people, and wish the company all the luck in the world, for your continuing success.

Amazing
This was our second trip with BAJ. We had amazing 3 nights at Mara. Our camp was right beside Mara river. It was incredible to sleep hearing the hippos and have breakfast close to them. The staff was very helpful and the location is great. An exquisite camp tucked in the Mara bush, calm and relaxing atmosphere. Hippo viewing and fantastic location for good game drives. The diver was informative and keen to share his immense knowledge about the Mara and wildlife.

Excellent First Experience in the Wilderness
I felt like I had arrived home from the moment I walked into our camp. I got to know the locals and feel welcome. We watched the wildebeest crossing and saw an abundance of animal and bird activity on our drives. The game drives were brilliant with very friendly and knowledgeable guide.
I do hope I get to return!

Really nice safari experience!
Communication with Annette (the person of contact) was very easy and pleasant and she was always available to help with the planning and flexible to accommodate our requests. Charles was our driver and he was fantastic! He did everything possible to keep us always happy and he really makes the effort to provide the best service possible. Considering the hotels we stayed in and the way we were treated the price-quality ratio is really good and therefore I can only reccomend to book a safari with Boundless Africa.

Finding gold in 10 days East African Treasures
Very kind and friendly communication with Anette of Boundless African Journey, including helpful hints for people coming first time to Africa. Booking the 10 day safari tour including payment options was easily done. The described itinerary was fully matched in Kenia and Tanzania, exceeding my expectations with excellent selection of camps and hotels. Very knowledgeable, considerate, punctual and welcoming English speaking drivers in both countries with sturdy 4x4 vehicles permitted safe travels and made an unforgettable photography safari experience possible by finding the right spots. I will for sure contact Boundless African Journey for a next trip to Kenia and Tanzania.

Almost a Perfect Trip
I contacted Boundless Africa Journeys to set up a trip for three adult couples. We all communicated with Annette who was very prompt with replies and help. She handled all of our communications professionally. We were all quite hesitant to send deposits half way around the world, but everything worked out smoothly, as hoped. We did the 12-Day Kenya/Tanzania Safari, but we also wanted to add time in another park. The next day Annette sent us a new itinerary--all taken care of. She and our guide met us at the airport (they did a lot of waiting around for us) and shuttled us to our Nairobi hotel. We stayed an extra day in Nairobi to take advantage of Annette's free tour to see the baby elephants and feed the giraffes.
Our lodges, tents, food, and guides were terrific. As were our 4-wheel drive Land Rovers. We had our own vehicle and guide. We felt safe at all times while on safari. We also felt safe in the tents and followed the advise of the operators very closely! We loved the tents with the animals outside; quite luxurious. The lodging was so great and comfortable that on some days we asked our guides for shorter safaris so we could lounge about in the lodges. We saw a ton of animals every day and every day yielded something spectacular. The guides (Enoch and Lawrence) really went all out to show us the best of the parks we visited. They were very knowledgeable about the area and animals (and knew where to find them).
The border crossings were quite time consuming and the online visa applications were tedious and frustrating. A lot of time was spent waiting at park entrances, but as they say in Swahili (I think), "Pole, pole." Slowly, slowly.
This trip would have been absolutely excellent had Annette not forgotten to pay for two of the park entrance fees in Tanzania. We had to pay $1300 by credit card and it was a another time consuming process. We felt lucky to be able to enter the parks since it's standard to prepay. We also had to pay higher fees than Annette could have gotten by prepaying. Entrance to all the parks was part of our itinerary. So we expected Annette to reimburse us 100% of what we paid. AND SHE DID, but it took a month and a lot of anxiety on our part! It was an oversight on her part. It happens. It worked out just fine over all, and I would not hesitate to work with Annette and Boundless Africa Journeys for my next trip to Africa.

Great Trip with such lovely people
We saw so many animals and everything felt like a fantastic adventure. It was the most amazing and wonderful experience and the best holiday. The camp was lovely and our tents were superb. On our drives, our guide was patient and knowledgeable. Thank you for making our holiday so memorable.

An Amazing Experience
We had a fantastic driver guide who did everything right. He was a tracker and found so much amazing for us to experience. We had a dream of getting to Samburu for a long time. Now we have been there, it was actually better than our high expectation! We enjoyed everything about it. The tents were very big and comfortable as well as private. The staff was very kind to us, we were always greeted with a smile. It will really be a memory for life!

Great Hospitality
The service was great, our tented camps were wonderful. We enjoyed our stay and the food was really good as well. The staff were friendly and could not do enough to spoil us and the kids/teenagers - they were always nearly creating a safe and comfortable atmosphere. Thank you so much for the great time we had. I look forward to returning with my family. Asante Sana!

Amazing safari, very well organized
It was the first safari for us, thanks BAJ we'll not forget this vacation. Location were absolutely fine and staff very kind and available. Definitely our driver/guide was the key of the success. Safari was excellent, saw 4 of the big 5. The whole experience lived up to expectations.
