The most beautiful time
We had an amazing 4 days trip to Masai Mara and lake Nakuru. Our driver, Kikitu, was the funniest guy ever and made Kenya feel like home. He made us all feel very welcomed and showed us every animal and place there was to see. He really made us complete strangers feel like a big happy family. Thank you for choosing Kikitu for our tour guide he was fabulous!

Unforgettable experience!
Once in a lifetime experience with the best guide we could have imagined. James really went above and beyond to make this safari unforgettable. The trip he planned and the camps he suggested were just perfect. His knowledge about animals is just incredible and compared to other guides we saw, he was so respectful with the animals, making sure to not disturb them in their natural habitat. You can really see that this is not just a job for him but really his passion which made all the difference.+ he takes amazing photos. We highly recommend!

Absolutely recommend
Day before the tour representative from Suricate Safari went to us, and we were explained about upcoming trip.
Next day morning the safari Toyota land cruiser took us from hotel. All safari days was absolutely amazing. We saw Big 5, and much more animals, birds, landscapes. Also there were included personal chief Benjuda, and his food was very delicious. Our tour guide Ezekiel took us in incredible safari game. The team even prepared unexpected surprise for my birthday. Absolutely recommend him as your guide. In every camp place was the hot shower, and good prepared tents. After the trip they took us to our hotel and arranged transfer to airport.

Fast Response for Any Question.
We are communicating by mail for the tour detail. And the reaponse very fast and detailed. Every question is answered cleary. During the tour also the guide/driver was responsife. Let us know many information about the place and sometime try to have question to us for make sure we still remember or not. Other regarding the driver/guide was very responsive, try his best for find out the Big5 Animal and many landscape that very good. Regarding the price is quite good. Just little accomodation. But is not for tour but for the hotel owner in Naruku and Naivasha regarding the room comfort. Overall i was very enjoy about the tour and want to join the tour for the comming July.

Epic journey and wonderful experiance
We have booked two weeks safari with Baboonbudget, including Kenya and Tanzania parks. That was an excellent choice for our first trip to East Africa and our first safari. The first lesson we learned is that your safari depends entirely on your guide. Because of that fact, we had an incredible safari thanks to Boniface. Our whole two-week journey started unbelievably when Boniface picked us up in front of our hotel and when we saw that our van was empty. We booked a shared tour, but we were alone in our van together with Boniface for the whole ten days in Kenya. At the start of the journey, we explained that we would like to learn about animals and about history, tribes, way of life, and everything that we can learn about Kenya. Boniface gave his best to explain to us everything, from different regions' agriculture relations between the tribe up to complex Kenyan political history. He spent days answering our numerous questions, so when he left us on the Namanga border, we had a feeling that we learned a lot about Kenya. Safari and parks experience was a wonderful experience since Boniface's trained eye and constant will to see behind the next hill allowed us to spot most of the wildlife habitat. We learned a lot from them about birds, wildlife, different vegetation and climate, animal habits, so we had some basic knowledge for every safari after this. We didn't have any problems regarding camps and hotels since we booked a budget tour and were staying in budget accommodations. Only the camp in Amboseli was below our expectations and needed some serious repairs. Still, all the other places were quite lovely and comfortable. We had a great time in Tanzania also, but we can't compare it to our experience with you in Kenya. We spent all the time in Tanzania comparing parks, people and especially the tour. In Tanzania, we had that (obviously many times practised) tour with probably the same sentences on the same spots, with no additional questions. When you add sleeping in tents in thunderstorms in front of empty tented houses, you can freely say that there wasn't much for us besides Tanzania's great food and parks. But still, that was enough. Maybe Boniface set some high standards of a great guide with whom we left Kenya with a feeling of the understanding country, culture, parks, tribes, animals, and politics. Since we didn't get the same in Kenya, we were a bit disappointed. Still, altogether, we spent a perfect two weeks on this journey with Baboon budget safaris. Thanks Boni!

Organised, helpful and great value
I stayed at Msandile River Lodge in October 2021 for 12 nights. Fantastic value for money, was upgraded to one of the chalets which was comfortable and had everything you need for a great night's sleep listening to the hippos in the river and hyena and lion calls through the night.
I couldn't fault anything, whilst the food is not gourmet dining, it is plentiful, tasty and fresh and the cook was great. You cross the river in the morning and evening and this added to the adventure of the safari as we went past the big hippos that had called out all night!
As for the safaris, leopard sightings 14 times including with a cub and one killing an adult warthog. Lots of lions with kills, saw wild dogs nearly every day including hunting (a pack of 21 dogs).
The team at the lodge treated me like a valuable member of their family. As a solo traveller, I like to feel this way, I felt genuinely at home there and safe and had lots of laughs and fun. I still miss the Kiboko Safari team and Msandile Lodge.

Lovely day tour in Eswatini!!
I contacted Mmilo Tours to organize a day tour of Eswatini. Patrick was very responsive when reaching out to them, he provided me with an itinerary within a few days. He answered every question in a timely manner. He also provided a secured link for payment, which was highly appreciated.
The tour itself was given by Mr. Lucky Mavuso, an experienced Swati tour guide. Lucky was an outstanding guide. He really went above and beyond to make me discover his culture.
I am very satisfied with my day trip and would recommend contacting Mmilo Tours and/or Lucky if you have a tour to organize in Southern Africa.
