As dawn paints the savannah in hues of gold and amber, you'll set out on a full-day game drive, accompanied by seasoned guides who know the rhythms of the wilderness like the back of their hands.
With each passing moment, the Mara reveals its wonders—a mesmerizing dance of life and survival.

Marvel at the elegant giraffes nibbling on treetops, while mighty elephants lumber gracefully through the grasslands, leaving behind a trail of dust and majesty.
As the sun reaches its zenith, the day's adventure reaches its peak, offering glimpses into the intimate lives of Mara's inhabitants. But the magic doesn't end with the daylight. At 5:30 pm, your safari journey takes a cultural turn as you're escorted to a Maasai village, nestled amidst the wilderness.
Led by a Maasai naturalist guide, you'll embark on a captivating nature walk, discovering the medicinal herbs and plants that have been cherished by the Maasai people for generations.

Here, under the vast expanse of the African sky, the village chief will share timeless stories of Maasai culture and tradition, offering a glimpse into their way of life.
But the night holds one final enchantment. Returning to the camp, you'll have the opportunity to spend the night in an authentic Maasai-style home, adorned with the vibrant colors and symbols of Maasai heritage.

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

Feb 20 2020

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

Jun 25 2019

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
