Excellent experience!
This tour experience was EXCELLENT, from our friendly and helpful guide Aroni, to the very comfortable "glamping" accommodations at the Mara, to the unique experience driving over the VERY rough roads both getting to and inside the reserve, to the surprisingly excellent (and vegetarian-friendly) meals provided throughout.
Having gone in March, the Mara wasn't as full of migrating animals as it is at other times of year, but Aroni was excellent at getting us up close to many of them nonetheless, including several sightings of elusive cats (lion and leopard). It turned out that we ended up seeing lots more than some others we chatted with at the camp who were part of other safari groups.
The one DISAPPOINTMENT of the trip is that the safari company needs to update the description of this safari. Due to geological changes that flooded the lake with lots of fresh water, Lake Nakuru is (sadly) no longer the flamingo-filled "Pink Lake" that it's claimed to be in the description. Visiting that park was still enjoyable, but I think the company needs to update either the safari itself or its description.
Finally, while we usually try to avoid expensive tours and plan our own trips, this is one where you NEED a tour! Driving in Kenya isn't for the faint of heart. Traffic, directions, road conditions, lack of reliable cell service (especially out in/near the Mara), and an inability to communicate with other safari drivers about sightings in the park are all important reasons to NOT go this one alone!

An amazing experience that we will never forget.
Karibu safaris in Kenya was is a great company. They are very easy and quick to communicate with and the safari was amazing. We went to 3 different parks and they were all very different and worth visiting. Our driver, Stanley, was great! He made sure we saw all animals from very close but with respect to the animals and their surroundings. I would definitely recommend this tour operator and ask for Stanley as the driver.

Excellent safari
I was very satisfied with the safari tour. In Masai Mara we were able to see lions, buffaloes, leopards and elephants and all kinds of animals. In addition, the explanation of the driver was also detailed, answered every question. The accommodation and meals were also good, and it was very nice to have a free pick-up to the airport for free.
