Amazing. But the boat trip mentioned in the trip itenerary is COMPLETELY WRONG! You have to pay!
Amazing country and a perfect budget travel in Africa to see wildlife.

Great safari experience
The van we used was a bit run down, but the seats were comfortable. We were 6 people in the van in Masai Mara, plus the driver Aron. Thereafter we were 4 in the van, plus Aron. The roads are dusty and bumpy in many places, but Aron made us feel safe and well taken care off by him. Arony seemed

to be a very experienced driver and he had much knowledge about the animals we saw, In Masai Mara we were very lucky and saw the big 5. Aron ensured that we got the best out of the game drives. We had plenty of time to take pictures. Aron was driving us as close to the animals as possible, and at the same time respecting them and their space. The wildlife in Masai Mara and Amboseli was amazing.The only negative part was that the agency could not take us to Nakuru right after Masai Mara, as planned. They said that the reason was because of our flight delay and that they had to reschedule it this way. After Masai Mara we went to Amboseli. Karibu safari offered us to go to Nakuru afterwards or bring us back to Nairobi. The trip from Amboseli to Nakuru involves several more hours of driving than from Masai Mara, and we decided not to go there after all. Because of this, Karibu Safari gave us some money back. Allthough we were a bit disappointed, we appreciated the deal, and it seemed fair.
In Amboseli we stayed in tented camps where we had our own room with private bathroom. The standard is budget, but the camps in Masai Mara and Amboseli were okey. They served buffet for breakfast and dinner, and we were able to charge our cameras and phones. All in all; we had a great safari experience and will highly recommend Karibu Safari. Make sure you ask for Aron as a driver :)

A good value for money ratio, nothing more
We did a marathon game drive (not as planned) a full day instead of splitting on two days (as planned) with an early morning game drive the second one, which would have been less exhausting, less haste and hence more enjoyable (and also, I suspect the objective of the agency was to save the entrance fee just for one morning; the entrance fee is valid 24 hours)
Although it is written down in black and white, the programme is "flexible", which has both advantages and disadvantages.
Otherwise, it's pretty well organised, the staff on the camp sites are really sweet and quick to react to meet your needs.

The wildlife was magnificent, exciting to see the animals so close up
The safari worked so well as all the arrangements are in place so accommodation ,food transport were fine . Some of the tracks were rough but that is Kenya!The guide was an excellent spotter & pointed out the animals well before we saw them & also explained about their social way of living. The highlights were the elephant groups & their interaction.

It was a very good experience.
Safari was good, but make sure you book the right camp. They have confirmed for me Lanchada camp which is the one I have asked when booking, but some guy called Sam booked the camp in Goshen camp to pocket more money which is very very bad. I had to spend one night at Goshen then moved to Lanchada for the second night. Driver/guide Lawrence is very good. Please don’t go to Goshen camp where the food or tents are very bad. I had food poisoning because of expired bread and cheese.

Fantastic budget 6 day Safari
The six day safari was just fantastic. The accommodation ranged from "fair" (permanent tents) to "very good" for a few hotel nights.
Wildlife, scenery was perfect! Transportation was also of an acceptable/good standard - driver/guide also very helpful and informative (but primarily a driver). Highlights was seeing all the "big 5' in one day!! The "central booking" office had to be constantly chased up for some of the information - but when called "budget safaris" you get what you expect I suppose. All in all, i would do the trip again!!
