Fun day out exploring Burabay National Park

5.00Olzhas took us on a full day tour of Burabai National Park. He was both our guide and driver and was fluent in English. Communication with the company was fantastic. The car was new and very comfortable with good air conditioning. Olzhas was also a safe driver. We had a bit of distance to cover with 3 hour drives each way to and from the city. We felt safe being driven by Olzhas and he explained many aspects of Kazakh culture we wouldn't have otherwise been aware of. Olzhas was very enthusiastic and also took us to all the main attractions we wanted to see. We checked out some cultural sites, learnt about the nomadic facts and history, went on two treks and even got on a fun boat trip of the lake! Highly recommend this tour and would use this company again. If you are uncertain about visiting Kazakhstan or Astana, put this place on your travel bucket list!

5.00Beautiful scenery with great food and great guides. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Astana. The view of the lake from the mountain is truly stunning and the pictures don’t do it justice
The climb up the hill to...

5.00The climb up the hill to see the two lakes is a little more strenuous than the description lets on, but this nearly 70 year old fart still managed to make it to the top. Coming down was a lot easier than going up. This was nothing like Bear Falls near Almaty two years ago. This was much better.
Great experience with guide Alan

5.00This is a nice day trip out of Astana combining scenery of the north with the lakes and forests of the Burabay region. The tour round the Botai open air museum was interesting and informative and the hike to the viewpoint at Bolektau and the boat trip around the lake provided some superb views. I would recommend it
