Patient, accommodating and dedicated.
This was our first time visiting Kenya and taking a safari, so we had no idea where to start looking. We saw some great reviews of Balu Travel online so we got in contact with Morris, who was very nice and responsive, and catered to our many questions instantly. Everything from start to finish was impeccable. The van we used for the safari was spotless every single day. The pick up was always on time, the driving was very safe and fun, to the organization and hotel bookings, literally everything.
We cannot praise our guide Derrick enough for the views he managed to show us on our game drives. He was very patient with us and gave us ample time to take great pictures up close with the wildlife. He was very knowledgeable of the Maasai Mara and the vast wildlife that was present. For the duration of the Safari he was always available to us and attended to all of our needs. 10/10 would recommend! :)

Amazing
It was a fantastic trip and the experience of a lifetime. Safari is something everyone should experience at least once in their life. BALU travel was professional. Morris was easy to reach. He always responded to messages and emails very quickly. We had Isak as our driver for 4 days. He was very pleasant and friendly. He told us about the animals and provided an authentic experience. Isak is also very sociable and makes things comfortable for everyone. I would 100% recommend Isak as a driver as well as BALU.

Excellent experience
Balu Travel did a great job organising the safari for me and my friends. Communication was easy and fast, Morris is so friendly and reliable. He was always available and always answering every question. Also our tour guide Joseph was so lovely and knew everything about the parks and the animals. The tour exceeded our expectations, great value for money. Can only recommend Balu Travel!!!

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!
