Amazing trip
I can highly recommend Balu Travel.
Communication with Morris was easy he was quick to respond and he accommodated all our requests and needs.
We had Joseph as our driver, who was very professional, a terrific driver and guide, kind and patient with our family of 7 including 3 kids. He did everything in his power to show us as many animal as possible.
We stayed at The Emayian camp, which was good, food was very nice, 4 courses for lunch and 6 for dinner! Beautiful sunset view from the deck which we enjoyed with a glass of bubbles. No aircon, but the temperature was comfortable in the tents as night. There was also a pool which was nice to jump into after an all day safari. Jacuzzi at all the tents were a nice touch and bush breakfast with Masai dance on the last day was a nice touch too.
Very good value for money. Thanks again 😊🙏🏼

Great Value and wonderful service
Morris was fantastic right away. Most operators will test you to see what you are willing to pay. He was fair and honest and the service he provided was second to none. I did try a few other operators that a good friend suggested and the were overpriced and the accommodations were second rate. Morris was fair and provided exactly what we wanted and nothing we didn’t. It’s important that you communicate exactly what you want ahead of time so he knows your expectations. I’ll use him again and I’ll recommend him to anyone. It was the trip of a lifetime.

Perfect 😍
The tour was amazing. The driver was always well on time, was taking good care of us. He knows the good places to see animals. The car was very comfortable and always clean. The organisation and also the communication with the driver was very easy and good.
The Camp Little Amanya was in a stunning area with direct view to The Kilimandscharo. The personal there was very friendly and nice to us.
We can recommend balu travel very much!

Amazing tour operator, top safari! Highly recommandable
I can honestly recommend Balu Travel to anybody who is looking for an authentic, uncomplicated, and well-organized safari experience in Kenya.
We organized a very last-minute weekend trip to Masai Mara and not only did we get a great offer but also super fast and easy communication. They had great options for low-, mid-, and luxury safari options, and could advice us on each accomodation according to our wishes. We had a great guide who was very knowledgable and friendly and went out of his way to show us wildlife. We felt very well taken care of which is why I recommended this tour operator to all my friends as well!
Asante sana for everything. Looking forward to booking the next safari :)

Pathetic customer service by someone named Morris who contacted me on my WhatsApp
My friend liked the safari combo and I sent $725 as Mr Morris who was in communication with my friend demanded 50% money in advance. After 2 days Morris confirmed he received the money and to my disgust sent me an invoice that he received only $695 where as I transferred $725 on his insistence, moreover this man is also very impolite and talks too much. He had the audacity to suggest I should not ask him and refer to my bank for further details. I am very disappointed as I have already paid and this man did not confirm anything as yet, also threatened my friend that he will cancel the safari which we have asked him to book for us and had already paid 50% money in advance. Totally non cooperative person who has no sense of customer service. I would like to request safaribookings.com to take action against Balu Travels and I will share all the relevant evidence to support my claim.

Brilliant experience
Everything was perfectly organised. The transport, the safari, the accommodation. Every detail was taken care of by Morris and his team. Evans was a great driver and safari guide. Would highy recommend Morris and Balu Travel.
