In this Kenya Travel Vlog, we went on a full day safari game drive in the Masai Mara National Reserve with Baboon Budget Safari! We stayed at a budget camp called Miti Mingi Eco Camp near the Oloolaimutia gate on the east side of the Masai Mara.
We booked our tour with Baboon Budget Safari in Nairobi city centre. The cost of the safari (during the off-season) was:
USD 100 per person, per day for the entry tickets to Masai Mara (which is USD 200 per person, per day during the tourist season beginning June 2024)
USD 160 per person for the whole excursion which includes:
stay at the campsite (we chose a budget tent accommodation)
breakfast, lunch and dinner during the trip (vegetarian food available)
unlimited drinking water, tea, coffee and chocolate milk (other drinks extra)
Game drives in a safari tour van (Toyota Hiace with pop-up roof / viewing balcony)
Transfers from Nairobi to Masai Mara and back to Nairobi
Full-time guide throughout the journey who knows a LOT about the animals (definitely ask for Mr. Boniface 🤠)
The prices and discounts change quite often depending on the season and tourist demand - so best to reach out directly to Baboon Budget Safaris and negotiate for a good deal!

Your budget safari exceeded expectations. It has all the safari drama 😂😂..You're extremely fortunate. Having visited Maasai and other game parks and reserves in Kenya multiple times, and having seen all of the Big Five, the lion give you a phenomenal show. The hunt was wow 🤩. It's also rare to see all of the Big Five in a single visit, but you managed 3.

[@TheBackpacksters]

Thanks Rang! Yeah - it was such a unique experience for us! Totally awestruck by the wild side of Kenya!

[@bangalorerao9740]

Enjoying everything of the safari in Africa,thanks a load

[@TheBackpacksters]

Glad to hear that Moham mama!

[@TheTororist]

budget safari seems to be better for our kenyan economy. I was looking at your breakfast buffet and noticed the sauces, the jam, the margarine, peanut butter and even the serviettes/napkins are all kenyan brands. unlike big hotels where it will be heinz ketchup and skippy imports. and its a better way for the camp to save money. win win

[@TheBackpacksters]

Totally worth a very localsy experience - budget safaris are definitely good value for money! We hope they find a way to reduce that crazy ticket price for foreigners - or atleast, recognise the ability of tourists (who come from countries similar to Kenya) to pay that high fee! 😅

[@freedomm]

Wow. You guys were so lucky to see an actually hunt live.

[@TheBackpacksters]

Totally caught off-guard - both the buffalo and us!

[@karanchougule840]

Amazing video!! Lions trying to hunt buffalo was superb!! I wanted to ask during what month did you visited masai mara..??

[@TheBackpacksters]

This was in March 2023 (just before the video) 🤓

[@patrickmunyi]

Nice meeting you guys

WOW ! Safari ( arab word ) means trafel . A female elephant , giraffes , buffalo and lions . What a wonderful place . See you next time . From SOMALILAND .

[@TheBackpacksters]

Wow! Like Safar in Hindi 🤓 didn't know this. Thanks Abdillahi!

[@rang3688]

No, “Safari” is Swahili word, origin from Kenya, though it has roots in Arabic (“safara”). These are two different words. Never heard anyone says they are going for ‘safara’ but ‘safari’.

[@abdillahihollandis7481]

@@rang3688 Swahili is dialect composed with so many Arab languages : Swahili ( Arab word ) means coast .

[@rang3688]

@@abdillahihollandis7481 , in the same sentence, could you assert whether English is a Greek or Latin language? I often encounter this fallacious argument attempting to falsely attribute Swahili to Arabic origins. Swahili is an African language, specifically Bantu, which, like many languages, has borrowed from Arabic, Persian, Portuguese, and English, incorporating them into its phonetic structure. In fact, Somali exhibits more Arabic influence than Swahili.

This is very very. Wonderful safari and best animal place... I entertainment it' vlogs.......Do..more entertainment for us.. thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍 for your entertainment vlogs..

[@TheBackpacksters]

You are so kind, thank you so much!

[@shaddykiamba4022]

Woow you saw a baby lion..... looks like simba

[@dwamburu1]

She's referring to the film 'The Lion King' where a lion is called Simba. To those who speak Swahili, simba means lion.

[@TheBackpacksters]

Thats exactly what we said to each other when we saw the cub! 🐱

[@dwamburu1]

That male lion was dangerously close to the audience. What if the animal instincts kicked in? I always wonder what would the tourists do?

[@TheBackpacksters]

Yeah, we totally agree and were wondering the same thing!

[@SabseAageSanatan]
