5/5

Robert, our agent, was a saviour in our case and a major help with respect to all the travel arangements going above and beyond to make sure that our trip was a wonderful one. The lunch place on our way to Maasai Mara could do with an overhaul. Tented camp was very good but showers were too rusty. The staff there were a joy. The safari was superb. Food at the camp was a super treat especially the chapati

Amazing experience
4/5

Masai Mara - 5*
Lake Nakuru - 5*
Amboseli - 2* (in spite of the park being amazing)

As previously arranged with the agency, a driver was in the airport to pick us up and to take us to the safari van in Nairobi to meet our driver Kenn and proceed to Masai Mara. In Masai Mara the overall experience was amazing. In Lake Nakuru the experience was also great and had a night in a nice budget hotel. Regarding Amboseli, we arrived there in the night of the 4th day. They gave us the last tent they had. Unfortunately, the conditions were not acceptable. The tent had a huge rip, the bathroom leaking water and the whole tent full of mosquitoes. We had to ask for another tent and a cleaner tent without bathroom was provided. It was the worse night in the whole safari and the reason why we don't submit 5 stars. The next day we went to the park (very nice), saw the mount Kilimanjaro from the camp in the end of afternoon (great view!) and we were provided with a tent with much better conditions (but still, the bed was quite broken in the middle). Here, we would like to put a nice word to our driver Kenn that made an effort for us to get the best tent! Unfortunately probably someone else had to stay in the tent we rejected the previous day. The agency has the responsibility to pressure the camp management to provide and guarantee the necessary conditions. In spite of being a budget tent, minimums are required. The return to Nairobi went well.

Very enjoyable and educational
5/5

I made this trip with my brother.

Our driver Maxwell was great. He really made the effort to show us all the interesting things. He knew a lot and explained a lot. The cars are slightly old and can be at times crowded, but you'd be surprised how well Maxwell can handle it.

The transfer from the hotel and airport was smooth. My brother's luggage was delayed but the company brought it to us. We also had a some confusion at the end of the trip for transfer to Mombasa, but they made very good effort to correct it. I would suggest that you pay close attention to the transfers yourself.

Overall, I think this is a great option if you want affordable but great safari.

A driver guide can make a safari trip be amazing: Wnjau (Animal) is just great!
4/5

The experience of 7 days of safari has been very positive, we have enjoyed it a lot and we had a great time. The only thing we did not like is that water was included in the price of the safari and we didn't see those bottles arrive, it seems that no one had them. They only gave us 3 litres for 2 people for the whole week ... Everything else perfect, very happy!

Professional and trustworthy
5/5

The whole process from booking through payment and the trip itself was excellent. Our guide John was very competent and helpful, and had everything under control even though different people had different schedules. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would recommend Karibu to anyone.

A great experience!
5/5

As a solo female traveller, I was very nervous coming to Kenya on my own, but I had a great experience with Karibu safari. I booked a 4 day tour of Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, but they organised a hotel (after40 hotel which was very nice.) and guide for the day before and after the tour. They also collected and dropped me to the airport. In the lead up to the tour Robert was great at answering all my questions.

The tour itself was great. Our guide John was very knowledgeable and I was very pleased with all the accomodation etc. During the tour I moved to another van, as the rest of my group was not going to the lake, but this all ran very smoothly and all the driver/guides were great. On the last day of my tour I started to feel sick, but the guide James was very understanding and made sure I saw a doctor.

Overall it was a great experience, and great value for money compared to other tour organisations. I would use Karibu safaris if I was back in Kenya and would recommend them to my friends.

A breathtaking experience
5/5

First of all, I would like to thank our amazing driver and guide mr Raymond. because of him we had an incredible safari and very close up experience with the big five. Not only is Raymond very knowledge of the park, but he is also very well connected with his colleagues and as result of that we were in the front row and saw a lot of animals. we were able to take great photos too. This safari has been years in the making for me and my family and Raymond made it the best most memorable experience. I would highly recommend Karibu safari in Kenya.

Caught all the big 5, thanks to our experienced driver/guide
5/5

First of all, Robert is very prompt in asking all my question regarding the tour (took the 5 days Masai Mara tour). Had many changes, but he was able to accommodate to it. As we missed our flight early in the morning, plans were changed and Robert was able to change our itinerary at the very last minute (I had to email him in the wee hour, and he arranged everything quickly).
Our driver/guide, Arony, is definitely the best! He is very patient and experienced! We were a small group of 6, and each one of us were comfortable in the van, especially with the Long drive. He explained to us all the different types of animals in Masai Mara, and because of his fast and good driving and sharp eyes, we managed to see 4/5 big5 in just 1 day! Not to mention, we also manage to witness first hand when the lion hunt a wildebees (we were the first at the scene)t, all thanks to him!! I cannot explain how special that moment is when we were watching the lion hunting on the wildebeest! He is always trying his best to make sure that we get to see up close of the animals. I have to say, he is probably our lucky charm that we are able to witness all these amazing moments!
Tents were basic but the people at the camp were nice and friendly! With the price you pay, don't expect good tent or food. But everything was good because of the people around that makes it comfortable for us.
Lastly, got to see the last big 5, Rhinos, in Lake Nakuru. Abit disappointed with the flamingo, but totally understand why there isn't much left there, due to the heavy rainfall which happened 2 years ago which destroyed some parts of the lake.
Nonetheless, we had an amazing time with Arony and would totally recommend the tour to anyone who is up for aan adventure with basic needs.

And big thanks to Robert, Arony and everyone on the team!!
