Excellent!! Highly recommend
Morris was super helpful and super responsive in helping with creating a perfect safari itinerary for the safari.
We got picked up from the hotel and we met our game driver who was absolutely a delight to work with. He made sure we had the opportunity to enjoy the full experience..
He drove to the ends to spot the animals and we ended up seeing 4/5 big five animals.
Would do this again in a heart beat! Thanks so much!

Intense Experience
I tried really carefully to choose a company to go to Mount Kenya, Amboseli, and Masai Mara. The communication in the beginning was really good, and swift. We enjoyed our hike to Mount Kenya, however the quality of equipment provided was beyond what I expected. The mattresses were very thin. The tent was big (which was great!), however it had some holes, and we were worried if it was waterproof or not. On the other hand we enjoyed a good food, and amazing nature. Our guide did not speak very good English, and we would appreciate more information from him. For going to Mt. Kenya I do not recommend this company.
Kenya was our fourth African country for safari which we did with the same company as our Mt. Kenya and we only found out in the van on the way that the order of visits in Amboseli and Masai Masa had been swapped. In Masai Mara we stayed in a different campsite than originally booked, and we had not been informed about this in advance. The campsite was actually very nice, but I simply believe that such a change should be communicated to the costumers sooner. Our guide for safari, Derrick, was nice, polite, and spoke good English. He really knew the area very well. Our main goal was to see wildebeest crossing the river, and we were lucky enough.

Balu Travel is definitely the best
When I decided to finally travel to Africa and do the famous Masai Mara safari, I started looking out online for a reliable travel agent who could arrange everything for me. I came across many Tour operators and then sent messages to the 3 ones I selected. Morris was quick to revert back with an initial plan. His response was quick which gave me the confidence to move ahead with Balu Travel. I had many modifications to be done to my plans and Morris was ever so patient to attend to them and come back with exactly what I wanted. This made things so much easy for me. The payment process was ever so smooth and very safe. The confirmations were sent by Morris in a jiffy once the initial payment was done. Not only did I book the Safari with him, but the hot air Balloon and the airport transfers as well. Such was the efficiency. When we arrived, the driver was ready, all the other drivers for pick and drop were on time and Morris made sure to keep me updated via Whats App on every step of my trip.
On arrival at the Keerok Bush strip, Jeremy our guide was ready to welcome us. The next 3 days were nothing short of the best adventure. Jeremy is very well versed with the area and knows exactly where to find the animals. His knowledge of the region and the animals is paramount. Always with a smiling face and a humble attitude, we were glad Jeremy was around to show us what a real safari is.
Right from the planning to the time we went back to the airport to take our flight home, Morris made life very easy for me with the planning and Jeremy made the ground work too exciting.
If you are looking for a Safari in Kenya, Balu Travel and Morris is the go to agency. Don't look around beyond them !!

Very reliable and skilled service
We had an amazing safari with Balu travel. Communication with Morris is easy and quick. Our safari guide Frank was super skilled and spotted many different animals in a short time. We always felt in very reliable and good hands. Highly recommend - good value for money!
Reliable operator
Morris was a reliable operator who responded clearly to all our requests. He went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of and since this was our first time in Africa that meant a lot.
We had a driver who took care of us like a lifeguard and we saw all the big five! Even a cheetah and Leopard!
Thank you Morris for taking good care of us and making our safari unforgettable!
