Overall everything was good
Overall the experience was good when we came down there. We got prompt feedback in most of cases about the cost and everything we had to ask. The arrangement of hotels and safari trips were very thoughtful and met our expectations. There was a small issue happened before we went to Amboseli as the vehicle was not the one we expected. We understood the reason but it would be better if we could be communicated earlier rather than knew it when it happened. Still it was a good trip and experience. Thank you.

Amazing experience and a fantastic guide
We did the 6 days safari (masai Mara, nakuru, amboseli) and in one word - Wow! We had so much fun. John the agent was available for every question via whatsapp and mail and gave a very reasonable price for an amazing 6 days. But above all we want to say many thanks to Patrick, our guide. He is knowledgeable, paiciant, great driver and wildlife spotter and just a great guy! Thank you all very much.

A trip of a lifetime with Easy Travel!
The most challenging part of planning a safari is finding the right tour company with the best service at a reasonable cost. When I found out about Easy Travel, it was clear this was the team I wanted to work with for a trip of a lifetime. We had an amazing experience from the time we arrived at JRO airport until the last day, Easy Travel delivered on their promise. Of course all of this would not be possible without Deo, our driver/guide during the safari. He was friendly, experienced and knowledgable about the animals and their behavior. We hope to return someday for the great migration and will definitely work with Easy Travel again.

Tanzania Northern Circle Safari
Just completed a wonderful weeklong trip to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire Safari with e-Trip Africa. Great experience, every detail was handled and prepared properly. Ben Jennings is great, our guide/driver David knew where to go, what to look for and get us to and from the camp safely no matter the weather.
We saw all we wanted to see. Will definitely do it again with them.

Highly enjoyable and recommendable
Selecting a safari can be mind-boggling. We chose well when we chose Viva for Kruger Park. Clearly Viva understands the importance of their guests' expectations and meets them admirably. It was not expensive and gave us a brilliant first-time experience. Although the "processing" of guests runs like a well-oiled machine, the politeness, hospitality and grace of staff members was unfailing. Furthermore, when I was ill, they arranged a doctors' appointment, had one of their drivers take me to it and a staff member collected my medication. We had a room at Katekani which matched my dreams and delicious home cooking with plenty of variety, served with style. Gertrude and Margaret, our "hostesses", are gems. I hope they're treasured as employees, along with the Guides and Drivers. Having worked in hospitality and as a Guide, I recognise that shifts can be long, tedious and underpaid, especially in the affordable sector. I hope they are all rewarded suitably. Our game drives always included lots of thrilling animal sightings and entertaining, informative commentary. One tip: never rely on the weather and always take a jacket, preferably hooded. When night falls or the wind comes up, you don't want it to spoil your enjoyment.

Very professional and friendly service
We had a wonderful holiday in the Kruger National Park, and Jamela Africa Safaris did an excellent job to make our holiday a wonderful experience. Sheilagh went out of her way to tailor make our holiday exactly as we want it. She did all our bookings and communicate with up on a regular basis. We want to travel to Botswana and Zambia next year and I will definitely make use of her again. Thanks Sheilagh.

this company has reasonable price & good guide
I chose this company because of my friend.
She used this company and she was satisfied 100%! And so I am!
I already had Serengeti safari so I had low expectation but wowww.. I was wrong!
First of all, the guide was really funny and full experienced man that he drove really fast but safely ;-)
We didnt miss one little thing compare to other tour teams.
We were really lucky that we saw Big 4.5 (It was really hard to see hippos. We saw it but honestly it was pretty far away that I can tell I saw Big 4.5 but actually, other companies had same situation!)
Food and tent were also very good.
The place we stayed was pretty close to the park so we didnt waste of our time on the road to the park.
The local people around the tents, they would guide you for free.
We give them some money but it was nice to see them not to ask / force any money guide around their place.
Anyways. my 2 nights 3 days were really enjoyable.
The safari tour fee is really reasonable that I compared to many other companies but here was the best.
If you are not looking for a luxurious safari, I think Baboon budget is all good!
Trust me and contact Dennis!

Namib Desert Ride.
I have done many riding trips but this was probably my favourite. To see no, litter, buildings, pylons or aeroplanes and few 4 x 4s for 9 days was not something I had experienced before and must be fairly unique. The surroundings were really breath-taking. I can take or leave game in places like Kenya, but in Namibia, where there is literally no water, it was frankly a miracle and therefore a privilege to see herds of oryx, springbok, zebra and wildebeest and healthy looking ones at that. The dedication of the staff on this trip left me speechless: they have what I would cause a skeleton crew on this trip but they worked tirelessly to ensure the horses received the best of care and that we as guests were properly looked after. The bed rolls are worthy of a special mention in dispatches. Vincent and Phoebe created banquets in the trailer kitchen! The riding was not for the faint-hearted which was exactly as it should be in such a vast landscape: forward-going and fast. Andrew Gillies was a great guide: a raconteur to be sure, but impressively knowledgable and responsible without being boring. Lastly the horses were some of the best I had ridden on trips: supremely fit and in great condition, but with little quirks in their characters that come with herd life. My only criticism is of myself: for not bringing enough warm clothes - it seems you can never have enough (we were advised to bring plenty): the desert can be really, really cold at night. I can't wait to go back: with extra layers.

It was a Great Time for our Family
We took Kenya wildlife safari for our family vacation few weeks back. As expected, it was really great. Our tour guide ensured to make this a happy family time for us. We went for animal sight-seeing along the banks of Mara River and also took the hot air balloon ride. It was a great time for our family.

Considerating we are an ocean and continent apart our service was withoutany problems and worked out
Sabi Sabi Little Bush was absolutely delighful, perfect and beyond our expectations. The accomodations were well appointed, comfortable and certainly 5 star. The ranger and guide were polite and knowlegeable beyond our expectations. The food was great and each evening the settings were all different for the four nights that we were there. The staff were polite and accomodating in every respect. If Little Bush wasn't 22 hours of flight time away we would revisit again.
