If its Kenya, it better be Baboon!
After much research, we chose Baboon for our trip to Kenya and they did not disappoint! They had options starting with low $$ all the way upto luxury ones and we chose the mid-range packages
In an unknown land, their drivers+Guides made us feel so comfortable, almost like we were at home! They were there to pick up from the airport, and the transitions from each location to another were super smooth. The guides know Kenya really well and have been doing this for many years, their experience is unmatched!
The guides would go out of their way to give us an authentic experience, showing us all the Big5, and other animals. Highly professional team
Right from the start, Dennis, their team leader helped us pick the right accommodation options, gave us great pricing, and arranged everything just how we liked it.
The two guides we had on our trip were Bonifas and Joseph and they were both the best guides we could have asked for!

One of the best trip I have ever been in my life!
I decided to travel to do a Safari last minute , I requested several offers from different companies. However Paul was always very quick to answer my questions, and there was just an instant connection from the start. He planned my whole itinerary 1 week prior my travel dates , and prices were reasonable. Our guide Walter was the best part about our trip , he has a lot of knowledge about the animal wildlife, and always answered all our questions. Definitely recommend this agency to anyone thinking of doing a Safari.

Very cooperative
The safari went so well, I would never have imagined such an experience.
The journey was very comfortable.
The program was well planned never fell short of what was promised.
The driver, Joseph, was the best tour guide I have ever met. Very friendly amd welcoming, I would definitely recommend my friends and family to him and Mr. Dennis the tour operator.
Thank you Mr Dennis, i highly recommend the service.

Unforgettable days on our camping safari in Botswana with many highlights and beautiful memories
In April 2023 my wife and I were finaly able to go on the 11-day safari with Walking Stick Travel & Tours that we had already booked in 2019. Due to Covid 19, earlier travel had not been possible. Philimon had kindly held our booking until then. It is especially worth mentioning that there was no price increase in the following 3 years. Our special thanks for this!
Our journey now took us through the parks Moremi, Khwai, Savuti and Chobe. We were accompanied by a team of 3: Wago as guide and driver, Josiah as cook and KB for setting up tents and other helps. Everything was well organised and the team made our stay very pleasant with a lot of enthusiasm and helpfulness. The meals were varied and very delicious. The game drives were very informative and interesting. We profited greatly from the knowledge that Wago always knew in advance what, for example, leopards or lions were planning to do next. Once we were able to follow a leopard on its hunt for about 1 1/2 hours. All the other drivers had lost the hunt long ago. In the end, however, the hunt was unsuccessful.
On the game drives we saw nearly all the animals of Botswana. In Khwai there were the most leopards to be seen, even in the dark, because night drives are allowed there. We were able to watch a family of lions feeding on a prey for a long time.
The tents were very comfortable with shower and toilet in a separate area at the back of the tent. Hot water for our sink and shower was brought to us at any time of the day on request. It was very exciting at first and great to listen to the sounds of the night. Not seldom hyenas and jackals sneaked around our tent, sometimes very noisily.
A nice end to the day was a G&T after each afternoon game drive, followed by dinner. Around the campfire we discussed the day's events and plans for the next day.
This was now our third stay in Botswana. Once again it was a very successful stay with many exciting and adventurous moments. We can really recommend Walking Stick Travel &Tours.

Incredible, Must-Do Experience with an Excellent Company!
Africa Marvel Tours was a pleasure to book and experience. Their communication was thorough and timely, and left my husband and I reassured about all the details of our first-time safari experience. Our 3-day trip started with an on-time and welcoming pickup from our B+B in Nairobi, a small gift form the company (Africa water bottles!) and started with an interesting drive through the countryside. Our driver Joe was a safe and skilled driver and talked to/taught us about parts of Kenya we were seeing as we crossed the country to the park. We were glad we chose this option rather than flying from Nairobi. The camp booked for us (Enkorak Mara Camp) was wonderful - well-kept, comfortable, and made complete with the sweetest staff and excellent food. Both our afternoon/evening game drive and long game drive the next day were absolutely breathtaking, and again our driver/safari guide Joe proved to be a trusted expert at securing the best experience and up-close animal views along the way (highlight was definitely his instincts in getting us the closest of all the safari vehicles to a leopard, which is so rare!) Joe was also extremely knowledgeable about all parts of Kenya and gave us safety tips and advice about how to maximize our time. Based on his advice, we were able to change our plans on our last day as he flexibly drove us to a new drop-off location outside Nairobi and secure tickets for a walking safari tour (Crescent Island!) thanks to his connections. Overall this safari and company were the highlight of our Kenya trip and helped us have a safe, beautiful, and memorable time at Masai Mara and beyond - we 100% recommend them!

Perfect team, excellent lead
Amazing service.
It was very unusual and interesting, how many beautiful places. Marangu village in Moshi, stunning waterfall, climbing Kilimanjaro, 6 amazing days, such beautiful African nature accompanied by excellent guides, and Safari and evening dances at the campsite. I am very grateful to Anastasia for the excellent accompaniment and such impressions, I highly recommend.

Not a good service.
I had bad experience with African Breeze safaris in Kenya. First. I paid part of the tour in cash in Nairobi, but they did not wanted to accept some USD bills issued before an specific year. Finally they accept it but only after they charged me an extra amount. Second. In part of the tour they put an extra person in the vehicle, 8 passengers, instead of 7 as in their brochure. It was very uncomfortable for several of us and we almost had a fight! Third. They changed two times my hotels during safaris, one of them of lower quality. In general not a good service.

Magnificent Safari Experience
It was my first time safari, and my first day in Kenya, and I was travelling solo so it was hard for me to navigate all the options, but Lewis from Unscripted Safari team was very helpful and responsive. My driver Mike was very entertaining and we managed to see so many animals in the Tsavo East park in just one day. And even the pristine Masai village. Fully recommend, it was amazing! Safari is a once in a lifetime experience worth the investment. Thank you!

He was very helpful and fun!
We had a great time on our Safari! Everything was planned and taken care of. We just sat back and enjoyed. Uganda was beautiful and it was so fun to experience with a very knowledgeable local.

Absolutely faultless! Most amazing tour!
Excellent value for money. Saw zebras, lions, giraffes, bufallo, hippos, warthogs, rhinos, antelopes, monkeys, wilderbeast all up close. Communication before hand was great, The whole day ran very smoothly with the guide finding all the right places for spottings and waiting perfect amount of time to appreciate everything. Lunch at the lodge was also excellent. There was also a photographer from the company on our tour who took some excellent photos for us so that we could enjoy just looking at everything and didn’t need to worry about photos.
Everything about the tour was excellent! Would highly recommend
