Amazing
Safari was amazing, booking agent was brilliant and very helpful, answered every email and question I had and organised transfers very well. Stayed at kichwa tempo which was beautiful, it had a very personal touch, the lodges were perfect and the food was lovely. Our guide was brilliant and went out his way to make sure we see whatever we was interested in. Weather was hot in day time slightly cold of night time and early mornings. Overall had one of the best times in my life here was absolutely perfect.

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 :)

Amazing
Kenyans are so welcoming & friendly. Always smiling!
The wildlife is like no other. We got up close & personal with the animals. In the 4x4, we toured Amboseli & Masai Mara. A wonderful experience!
The weather was warm, clear & sunny... what more can one want.
A brilliant way to see animals in their natural habitat.
We watched sunrise & sunset, beautiful & picturesque! We photographed animals with sunrise & sunset...a sight to behold! It’s forever imprinted in memory!
The accommodation was brilliant! Clean, excellent room service, friendly staff. Buffet meals three times a day, hot well prepared food, lots of choice! Just amazing!
Our safaris guides were brilliant! We had Emmanuel for Amboseli & he drove us around endlessly & patiently.
For Masai Mara we had Ruben,

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.

At the end we took a bus with a company (Tahmed) partner of the agency: very bad experience: the staffmember on board (not the driver) was very rude after I said I didn't need a taxi at the arrival, and kept looking at my daughter (23) as if she was a piece of meat! Very unpleasant!
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.

Amazing 4-day solo safari to Amboseli, Tsavo West, and Tsavo East
I went on a 3-nights/4-days solo safari to Amboseli, Tsavo West, and Tsavo East with Bigmac Africa Safaris.
The tour consultant, Magdalene, did an excellent job in arranging the itinerary. My driver, Ben, did an amazing job of providing some extraordinary experiences on the tour. The roof-top safari van was ideal for the game drives.
Each of these parks is unique, providing wonderful game viewing and stunning scenery. The lodges (AA Lodge, Ngulia Lodge, Voi Safari Lodge) provide adequate accommodation, very good food buffets, and panoramic views of wild life. The tour met all my expectations and I am already thinking of the next one. Big thanks to Bigmac Africa Safaris, who will be hearing from me soon.

Beautiful
It is just great to drive through these parks, in the early morning or late evening hours and witness the beauty of the nature.

Trip of a lifetime!
This was an extraordinary trip, a 7 day Safari to Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo.
We were much more than pleased by our experience, the beauty of Kenya, his people and the wildlife.
Really big koodos to Mike-Mike, our guide and driver for the week and the owner of Best Memory Safaris, Isaak.
Both of them did a fabulous job. Hope to go back!
