Enjoy to see the Kenya big five but the traffic and 4x4 car are terrible lack of routine maintenance
The driver and staff are good in English, the tour can fullfil my seeing big five expectation

High quality experience with amazing affordablility!
We did the three day Amboseli safari and were amazed with the entire experience from Karibu. We were picked up promptly on time in Nairobi and made it to Amboseli by early afternoon. We were situated and served lunch at Kimana Tented Camp before participating in an afternoon game drive. The next day was spend entirely on game drive in the park, complete with plenty of elephant, buffalo, hippo, zebra, and wildebeest sightings. The last day started with an early morning game drive and then we drove back to Nairobi, arriving around mid afternoon.
Overall, we were very happy with our choice of Karibu. Arony, our driver guide, was incredibly caring by ensuring that we were comfortable and knowledgeable regarding the wildlife and their behaviors. Charles cooked delicious and tasty meals all the way through.
Looking forward to another experience with Karibu!

Very exciting and cheerful experience
The safari was very nice. We have seen so many amazing scenes of wildlife and our driver and assitant have done everything to make the experience amazing. Raymond and Dan are very polite and funny guys!
The only thing i would notice is that the car cod ve better maintained so that our safari would be a way better! Definately recommend Karibu.

Adventure is out there. Ben makes it happen.
We chose Karibu Safaris in Kenya to go on a 6 day safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli and it was the best decision.
What should I say? No words could possibly describe the feeling you get when you're on safari. It's an adventure full of moments that take your breath away. I constantly felt in love with the world. The amount and range of animals we've seen, the ever changing landscapes and the colours (especially at sunrise and sunset) will just burn into your soul.
But all that wouldn't have been possible in that way if it wasn't for our amazing guide Ben. He was the best!!! He knew where to find the animals and he brought us so close to them. When we wanted him to stop for a photo he did. When we wanted to stop for coffee/beer at a lodge he did. Ben was very knowledgable and taught us a lot. He has also given us some tips like for example: when we arrived at the campsite at Amboseli National Park our first game drive was going to be at 8am. But he told us that if we get up for sunrise it's the best time to see Kilimanjaro - and honestly that was one of my best Kenya moments! Watching the sunrise, seeing Kilimanjaro changing its colours and there was a giraffe with a baby passing by, too. One hour later the clouds covered the mountain. So thank you Ben!!! :) Now that I'm in the gratitude part of the review: Thank you Ben for saving our lunch from the cheeky baboons, too!
Another thing: Traffic in Kenya is a bit crazy and I'm a very bad passenger, but I fully trusted Ben's driving skills. I didn't worry about it once and that means something! Hakuna Matata :) Plus he's got a great playlist!
I don't know what else to say as words really can't describe it. Maybe this says a lot: I'll go back to Kenya next year and book the same tour with Ben again!
Guys, don't worry, just book the thing! You won't regret it! It's an adventure you'll never forget.
There's just one danger... you're probably aware of the travel bug - once you start travelling you want to travel more and more. I think there must be a safari bug, too because I thought it's enough to do a safari once in a lifetime but even though we've seen every animal I will go back again!
Again: Thank you Ben and see you next year!

we saw the 5 big
we went to masai mara and nakuru lake 4 days safari with john.
The experience was amazing, we saw the 5 big and everything was so good.
The lodge was a bit dodgy to be honest, I hope a better one but the hotel in nakuru lake was amazing with pool, nice room and tasy food.
John, our guide, was ok. He was not talkative at all and he was like depressed...also, he didn´´t help us with the shopping, anyway, the good thing is that he took us to the good spots to see the 5 big.
Overall, I recommend karibu safaris as we had an amazing experience thanks to them.

They are fantastic in logistics and kept their word on all the bookings
I booked with Karibu for a 7 day tour to Kenya. The best part about their itenary was the choice that was given. I could choose from a budget to all the way up to luxury safari. During the trip everything went like clock work. I want to especially thank Robert from Karibu in getting me the best room at Mara Sopa Lodge. Then are no words to describe our guide Stanely at the Masai Mara. He took it as a challenge to give us the best. We were lucky to see the crossing and all the big five. You guys are amazing. Keep going.
