Great budget option for private family tour
Communication with the tour company was mostly timely and very accurate. We booked a 5 night private safari for our family of 4 and it was really good value compared to most of the other quotes we received. Our driven Steven was an excellent driver and we felt totally safe with him at all times. He was alert all the time when driving, his navigation skills were incredible and he used his contacts with the other guides so well to get us to the animals. The camps and hotel we stayed at were all really nice and perhaps even exceeded our expectations as we had gone for a budget option. The wildlife was the true star though and the Masai Mara in particular really was amazing. The only thing I would question is the itinerary over 5 nights as 2 days we spent mostly driving in between locations, so it would have been better to spread over a slightly longer time frame.

Amazing 4 day tour up Mount Kenya!
I had a great time hiking up Mount Kenya with Jimmy my guide who was very supportive and keen to make sure I was comfortable. Our porters were a great help and cooked use 3 amazing warm meals a day to get us through the hiking. Would thoroughly recommend!

Very well organised
Me and my family lived a magical experience during our Safari.
We want to thank you for your good organisation, we just enjoyed the comfort to not thinking about any organisation.
Special thanks for our amazing guide Haruni who is a real master. Thanks to him we saw the big 5 and very closely. We learned a lot with him and he made our trip even more pleasant.

Awaken dream
Booking experience was perfect, we decided last minute to come to Kenya, simple chat via WhatsApp seals the deal for what looked like the best value for money
If you can chose try to ask for Aruni, even in the parks you can see how more experienced he is then everyone else, at some point we literally had the leopard in front of our car because he spent some time guessing where it would go
And all the other cars were blocked by the guards, but he came there before even when the leopard was not there.
I don't know if I explained it well, but that's a little tricky that really impressed us

Excellent safari with a fantastic guide
We had a fantastic 4-day safari with Karibu Safaris to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. The booking process was smooth and easy, they responded to our emails immediately, and the tour was very well organized for a good price. Just one minor recommendation: it would be nice to be able to pay by card, not only by cash in the office when starting the safari.
Our guide, Collins is the best guide ever, he was exceptionally friendly, welcoming and well-prepared, we felt like in a family during the entire tour. I would especially recommend travelling with him for a safari! He explained so many interesting things about the country, the wildlife, the culture and he was always happy to assist us if we had any questions or wishes. It was one of the most memorable moments to sit down in the grass having picnic lunch together, and talking with Collins about the everyday life in Kenya.
During the game drives, we could see exceptionally wide variety of animals, both in the Mara and Nakuru, it was amazing to enjoy the wonderful African countryside with its unique wildlife. The accomodations (Jambo Mara Lodge in the Mara and Hotel Waterbuck in Nakuru) were fantastic, the rooms were absolutely clean and cozy, we were especially impressed by the unique atmosphere of the Jambo Mara Lodge inside the wilderness of the Mara. Both accomodations provided us with delicious meals, a wide local and international food selection was available to enjoy for breakfast and dinner, and en-route lunches were also delicious.
I would highly recommend Karibu Safaris for travelling in Kenya, especially Collins, he is simply the best!

Exceptional Safari Experience with Aanika Karibu Safaris
Our experience with Aanika Karibu Safaris was truly exceptional from start to finish. Everything was seamlessly organized—from airport pickup, hotel arrangements, and transportation to the expertly planned game drives. The 4x4 safari vehicle was comfortable and well-equipped for the terrain, making our journey through Kenya smooth and enjoyable.
Our main guide, Mr. Paul, was outstanding. His deep knowledge of the Masai Mara ecosystem and incredible spotting skills helped us see four of the Big Five animals. He was not only an experienced guide and driver but also shared fascinating insights into the wildlife and landscapes, adding so much depth to the experience.
The team at Aanika Karibu Safaris went above and beyond throughout our visit. Their service was professional yet warm and personal—every staff member was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You could tell they truly care about making your safari unforgettable.
We also had the pleasure of being guided by John during our trip to Lake Nakuru. He provided excellent commentary about the park and its wildlife, making our visit both educational and enjoyable.
Exploring Hell’s Gate and Lake Naivasha was another highlight. The scenery was stunning and offered a great contrast to the wildlife-driven parts of the safari.
In terms of value for money, reliability, and overall service, Aanika Karibu Safaris exceeded our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organized, authentic, and enriching safari adventure in Kenya.

Good arranged but we had higher expectations about driver
Unfortunately driver wasn’t very talkable
We wanted to hear more about places and animals in order to have maximal experience from safari .
Car was too old and not clear enough
Otherwise accommodation was fine

Have enough patience to see more wild animals
Our guide was very experienced and enthusiastic. We saw many animals that had only appeared on TV before. The accommodation conditions were normal. There was no inducement to shopping.
