Reviews
Very kind and interested in our wishes. He showed us everything possible.
If you are looking for an adventure and very kind hosts, choose this camp close to amboseli. We stayed two nights and loved it. The tents are clean, the food tastes good and you feel very welcome. Our guide in amboseli was great, he knew where to go and when to go. If we had additional wishes, it was also no problem. We can highly recommend.

Experienced guide with very capable vehicle put us in the right place to get great shots.
I had a great experience with Baboon safaris. It was above my expectations with so many great photos. We were able to get very close to several lions and cheetah. Herds of elephant and buffalo, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest etc. Very good value for money with great accommodation and the staff at each camp / hotel were all extremely friendly and helpful.

Great Experience for the Price!
My colleagues and I were in Kenya for work and decided to add on a brief, affordable safari experience after our convening. After discussions with many companies, my colleague organizing the trip went with Baboon because they were reasonably priced and responsive to our requests. The pick up at the airport was smooth and we were quickly on our way to Maasai Mara (Miti Mingi Eco Camp stay) with our fabulous guide, Stanley. Stanley helped us make the absolute most of our few days in the Mara. He clearly communicated with us, was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and he felt like part of our team after the few short days we traveled with him. The accommodations were excellent for the price and what anyone could reasonably expect. The tents were clean and any minor issues addressed promptly (fixed hot water in a shower and cleaned up a water spill on the floor of one of our tents). The kitchen staff even made our team special chicken because some folks on our team don’t eat beef. Everyone at Miti, especially Justo, was kind and friendly.

Amazing experience
Certainly! Here’s an appreciation message in advanced English for a safari guide:
Dear [Guide’s Name],
I wanted to take a moment to express my profound gratitude for the exceptional experience you provided during our safari. Your profound knowledge of the ecosystem, combined with your genuine passion for wildlife, elevated the entire journey to an unforgettable level. Your meticulous attention to detail, patient guidance, and ability to seamlessly weave fascinating stories into the narrative made every moment incredibly enriching.
It was evident that you have a deep respect for the environment and its creatures, and your dedication to preserving the natural world is truly inspiring. You not only made us feel safe but also gave us a profound sense of connection to the wilderness, which is something I will carry with me for years to come.
Thank you for your professionalism, your kindness, and for helping us see the beauty of the wild in a new light. It was truly a privilege to be under your guidance.

Very caring and informative
Anthony was such an amazing guide and driver who took great care of us! He was so informative about the culture and the animals and ensured we managed to see the big 5. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a tour to book with Baboon Safaris!

Our 5 days in Kenya // Excellent tour but can be improved
Our experience with Baboon Budget Safari was great, but it surely can be improved. We have booked 5 days tour with them. The owner Dennis and his team were very nice to us. Their response time was also quick and helped us with every doubt. On the last day too, Dennis arranged a vehicle for us to cover some other locations in Nairobi at an extra cost.
The driver was on time to pick us up at the airport. Our only bad experience was that the driver was not able to understand our English. He knew little English, and communicating with him was a problem. This continued for all five days. He even missed our lunch location but then Dennis arranged our lunch at a different location. But still, we lost time in the same.
But the driver was a very good-hearted person. He went the extra mile and even did offroading so that we could see all the animals. The effort was visible in him. He even asked other drivers about the spot of animals and then drove us there. He was with us at all times, and lastly drove us to the airport on time.
In short, I can recommend the Babbon safari to any traveler.
Babbon Safari- You guys can help improve the driver's English and provide him with internet access. He did not have Internet, hence he can't use Google Maps either.

Professional, hospitable and kind - five stars in kindness
The team at Baboon arranged a wonderful safari for my wife and I's honeymoon. Carefully accommodating the time we had available. Compared to some Safaris at many multiples of the cost, perhaps the vehicles weren't quite as new, but we all came to marvel at the same natural beauty. We saw every animal we might anticipate to and more, accommodations were comfortable, the food outstanding. (Occasionally the internet was patchy, but this is not Baboon's fault, sharing more to make other travellers aware).
The Baboon team itself however really excelled in hospitality. They set up a WhatsApp group for us, and were always a message away if we had questions. Don't hesitate to book with Baboon! Thank you Jemimah especially.

Reliable and at the best price.
We had such a great experience on our 7 day safari led by Jason from Baboon Budget Safaris. Jason prepared us well for what to expect each day, and he often checked to see if we needed anything. He was an excellent driver and made sure we were able to see everything each park had to offer, including getting up close to the animals. I felt very safe at all times and would highly recommend a safari with Jason and Baboon Budget Safaris!
