5 star experience!
So where do I start from?
My husband and I always wanted to do this and finally booked a private safari with The Mara Wanderlust for Masai Mara and Naivasha to celebrate our anniversary. It was the best decision ever.
Everything we wanted to do was perfectly arranged by Naomi starting from the pickup till the drop off back at the airport. These guys will make your experience be the best one ever. The entire experience far exceeded our expectations.
Glenn, our guide+driver, who was with us throughout is very experienced and knows his work very well. He is the guy to go for if you're planning to visit. Highly recommended!
Naomi and Glenn are doing a fab job. This company deserves an excellent rating. It was surely a jaw dropping experience.
Keep up the good work!!

Excellent organization. Perfect guides, very attentive to our well-being and very professional.
Rafiki Tembo Tour completely adapted to our requests and provided us with invaluable advice before our arrival. The team there was wonderful and incredibly attentive. We stayed at Figtree Lodge, which was ideally located for visiting the three sites we wanted to see (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara). Our itinerary was perfectly suited to our needs, as we were traveling with our 8-year-old son. The vehicle for viewing the animals and nature was very comfortable, and we wanted for nothing, as everything had been thought of. The food (both at the lodge and on safari) was the best we experienced during our entire trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. And all of this came at a perfect price. We are incredibly grateful for this exceptional safari, which we will never forget.

An amazing experience!
We did a 5 day safari on a moderate budget. Great decision. All park entrance fees, breakfast, box lunch and dinner, drinking water were included. The 4x4 safari vehicle had free wifi. The accommodation at the Masai Mara hotel was excellent, and we had a wonderful morning every morning at the Mara camp there. Many thanks to our safari guide John Karanja, who made sure we had a safe journey. His driving was excellent even in difficult and adverse conditions. And because of him we got to see the Big Five in full!

Professional, friendly and well organized, making the Hadzabe experience unforgettable
I did a Hadzabe one-day tour as a solo traveler and it was an incredible experience. Visiting the Hadzabe people and witnessing their simple way of life was both fascinating and truly authentic.
My guides John Tembo and Manase were friendly, knowledgeable and made the experience even more enjoyable. The tour was very well organized, and the lunch provided was excellent.
The company also stood out for its great communication before the tour, always responding quickly and helpfully.
I highly recommend this safari company to anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable safari experience.

Ultimate Birding Tour
Davis Kibuga provided a fantastic 25 day birding tour of Uganda exceeding our species target of 600 birds!!
His enthusiasm, professionalism and dedication ensured a fabulous trip.
His vast network of local guides helped to find those more elusive and hard to find endemics and most sought after species.
His excellent 4x4 ensured that we were able to access the most remote regions of the country.
As requested my accommodation was a mixture of locally owned and run guest houses with community lodges.
These were clean comfortable, budget friendly and provided good simple home cooked meals.
I would strongly recommend Davis
He is a superb guide, dedicated and professional

Excellent experience
Our 3-night safari in Nakuru and the Maasai Mara with Balu Travel was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, everything was seamlessly organized, allowing us to fully relax and immerse ourselves in the experience.
What truly made the trip unforgettable, though, was our Maasai guide, Kasaine. His skill behind the wheel was extraordinary—navigating tough, uneven terrain with confidence and precision, even in challenging conditions where other vehicles struggled. We always felt completely safe in his hands, which allowed us to focus on enjoying every moment of the adventure.
Kasaine’s ability to spot wildlife was equally impressive. His knowledge, sharp eye, and intuition meant we never missed a thing. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five within just 24 hours—something we know is incredibly rare. Each sighting felt special, but the absolute highlight was an unforgettable leopard lounging in a tree. We had the best possible view, completely unobstructed, and were able to spend time observing this magnificent animal in a way that felt truly magical.
This safari exceeded all expectations, and a huge part of that is down to Kasaine’s expertise and passion. We couldn’t recommend Balu Travel more highly for anyone looking for a well-organized, authentic, and truly memorable safari experience. Huge thanks to Morris for organizing such an amazing trip
