Burabay National Park - a winter wonder land

5.00I only had one day to make a trip outside Astana and booked a driver and a car with Astana Horizons to the Burabay National Park. It's approx. a 3 hours drive one way so leaving early is mandatory. The views of the frozen lake and the surrounding mountains, all still snow-covered, were truly impressive. Damir was a great driver and experienced tour guide as well as a very interesting person to talk about many different subjects. The whole trip was most rewarding and enjoyable !!
Beatiful area and knowledable guide catering v disappointing

Burabay's beautiful nature

5.00This was a very special day, outside, in contact with Kazakhstan's beautiful nature. I will always remember Kazakhstan for it's great nature. Burabay is a national park about 3 hours outside Astana. It has a very beautiful lake and rocks. After an easy trekking thru the forest, you can enjoy very nice views from above. We had lunch on a traditional restaurant inside the park and did a small boat ride in the lake. On it's way we had the opportunity to observe the steppes that cover most of the country, and we also stopped to visit an interesting open air museum that reconstructs the houses of an old civilization (Botai), that lived in that region about 5.000 years ago. Omar, our guide, is a very nice and friendly guy, our kids loved him. We had an amazing and unforgettable day. Thanks for that!
Awesome tour guide!

5.00From start to finish, the experience was excellent. We were picked up by our guide, Kadyrbek, at our hotel at exactly the agreed upon time. On the way and throughout the tour, we were given a lot of insightful information that helped us to better understand both Burabay and Kazakhstan. The sights we were shown were absolutely amazing and our guide helped us to capture great pictures. He was also really accommodating and helpful in translating things for us, and gave us great food recommendations. Throughout the trip we felt very safe and well taken care of, from being guided through a hike along unfamiliar terrain to being driven back safely through a blizzard. This tour was truly unforgettable!

5.00We were 2 days in Astana, this guide showed us in quite a short time a great part of Astana and Burabay. We made some stops on the way, visited a museum, had a great authentic lunch. Our guide was very patient with us, we were a group of 13... We all wanted the nicest picture. Great guide and knows all about the city Astana and Kazachstan. The tour was very well organised, well on time performance, and any change we did was taken into consideration to change the tour or add to the tour. Great experience and great guide. Please do not hesitate to book here. Date of experience: November 2025
