Wonderful safari with a great guide
Our safari was really great! We wrote to several providers in advance and Morris (the owner of Balu) always replied very quickly! We also had lots of questions, including the wish to be picked up in Kisumu. He was able to answer all our questions and it was also possible to be picked up there for an extra charge. It was really great! He also provided us with our own "programme booklet" in which we could read everything in detail. On the first day of the safari we were picked up very punctually by our guide, Derrick. He was very reliable, very friendly, punctual and showed and explained so much about the national park. He also knew all about the animals and had a wealth of knowledge about the national park, its inhabitants and Kenya. We were also able to express our own wishes (as example the departure time) and ask questions about everything. Derrick was always very flexible and explained everything to us in detail. We had a really great time with him and are grateful for his patience and friendly manner. Morris also asked us every day how we were doing and whether everything was to our satisfaction. We booked the 4-day tour with Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru in the safari van. This proved to be a great combination as we were able to spot the big 5 and many more animals. You can also see a lot of the country on the journeys and the van is very comfortable. In Masai Mara NP we stayed at Jambo Mara Safari Lodge and in Lake Nakuru NP at Sopa Lodge, with magnificent views! Both accommodations were very clean and beautiful! We also have to emphasise that Morris really tried to organise everything perfectly for us and at a really fair price! We felt completely at ease the whole time from booking to arriving back in Nairobi and thoroughly enjoyed our time and the safari. We would definitely book with Balu Travel again next time!

Best customer experience
Here's a revised version of your review to enhance the wording and maintain the praise for Jockey Tours:
I was initially hesitant to book my first-ever safari with Jockey Tours and Safaris, especially because their prices seemed significantly lower than the typical costs I had heard about from friends. Despite their glowing reviews, I tempered my expectations, given the modest price of $620 for a five-day safari. Having traveled to over 20 countries across four continents, I can confidently say this was the best value for money I've ever experienced. From the moment they picked us up at the hotel to our return drop-off, the professionalism and dedication to enhancing the client experience were exceptional. I was in the company of amazing tourists from around the globe, which led to forging new friendships and creating lifelong memories.
A special shoutout to Albert, our extraordinary guide, who went above and beyond to ensure our experience was unforgettable. He navigated through floods, mud, and other challenging terrains to ensure we always reached our destinations.
Thank you / Asante to Albert and Jockey Tours, my first safari was nothing short of spectacular!
Hope to see you soon for another trip with my friends !

Very experienced and eager to show us as many animals as possible.
We had the chance to go on a 3 day trip to Murchison falls which was an intense but definitely worth it. It was a great trip. We were 8 people in one car and saw so many animals from lions, to elephants, buffalo's, leopards,.... Overall a great experience and our guide was also flexible and knowledgeable about the animals and the park. Without him we definitely would not have seen so many great animals. The accomodation jibiri was also super. We had a shared room for 2 people with nice AC, bathroom and comfortable beds. The AC was definitely necessary. The staff was nice, only the food orders took quite some time, but the food itself good. I can definitely recommend the trip. In a short trip one gets to see so much and Murchison falls with it's impressive water falls, animals, and landscape is definitely worth a visit.

Lomo is very professional. Overall satisfied
My guide David was very professional, competent, patient, helpful, respectful, undeniable human qualities, seeking all occasions to satisfy my curiosity. I am very happy with my safari towers. I am ready to recommend Lomo Safari Tanzania reserve for my loved ones. I had great journeys, with unforgettable memories. The hotel was great despite the lack of wifi in the rooms. Overall very very satisfied. 5/5
