First class safari experience from beginning to end

Two friends and I have just returned from an incredible 3 day/2 night trip to the Masai Mara National Park with Balu Travel. Morris was our point of contact and his organisation and communication were first class. He was happy to answer our many questions re: recent rainfall, lodges, timings and payment. He created the perfect itinerary for the time we had available and we will never forget our amazing experience. Wilson was the best driver/ guide we could have wished for. Having grown up in the Maasai Mara he had incredible knowledge of all the animals, birds, plants and local culture and was full of interesting facts. When we went out on game drives, he was very focused all the time on searching for wildlife, to make sure we saw as much as possible. He gave us plenty of time to take pictures and simply soak up the sights and sounds around us. Wilson was a careful and skilful driver, navigating some quite challenging terrain, and we felt very safe at all times. (If you have the option to upgrade to a jeep, would highly recommend doing this as feel it made a big difference to comfort and there's a lot of driving.) He seemed to know everyone, every road and every path, which was a big advantage throughout. On the way back there was an accident and long delays on the rift valley road and he used his local knowledge to take us on a diversion, making sure we weren't late for our flight (much appreciated). On top of all that Wilson was a great travelling companion - friendly, calm, courteous, thoughtful and patient. We did a lot of research for our trip and Balu was the best value by far, for comparable tours. I would highly recommend Balu Travel, and Wilson, to anyone wanting the best Masai Mara experience.

Extremely cooperative, well organised and highly recommended.

Me and my wife booked a Masai Mara 3 days, 2 nights tour from Balu travels in May 2024. Morris and his team went out of the way to accommodate all our requests and requirements. We found the best price and an excellent service from Morris. He was always quick to respond. Highly recommended!

My African Safari Dream Accomplished

Embarking on a safari with Balu Travel in Kenya was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we connected with Morris, who meticulously crafted our itinerary highlighting the stunning landscapes of Lake Nakuru and the iconic Maasai Mara, we knew we were in for an unforgettable adventure. Our journey was flawlessly guided by the incredible duo, Jeremy and John, whose expertise and warmth enhanced every moment of our safari. Their dedication to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction knew no bounds, making our private experience truly exceptional. The accommodations at Sopa Lodges exceeded all expectations, offering luxurious comfort amidst the wild beauty of Kenya's landscapes. Each day brought new culinary delights, as we savored mouthwatering dishes that reflected the vibrant flavors of the region. But the true highlight of our safari was the wildlife encounters. From witnessing majestic herds roam freely across the savannah to the spine-tingling moment when we came upon a lion feasting, every sighting was a testament to the profound knowledge and skill of our guides. Jeremy and John's passion for the wildlife and ecosystems of Kenya was contagious, enriching our experience in ways we never imagined. In the end, our safari with Balu Travel was nothing short of magical. It's an experience we'll cherish forever, thanks to the impeccable service, unparalleled expertise, and genuine hospitality of everyone at Balu Travel. If you're seeking an adventure of a lifetime, look no further than Balu Travel for an unforgettable journey through the heart of Africa.

Great game drive!

Really great tour guide driver (Moses), really knowledgeable about the animals and where to find them. Was able to get us home safely despite there being a lot of floods due to the rain. Would opt for a more spendy lodge option if possible.
