I haven't like this tour operator
We booked a five days safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha. The driver , and he didnt take us to see the migration. It happened the 4th of August. Later, a person who was in Masai Mara that day, said me that all tourists were seeing the migration. Instead it, he "sell" us a "walking" to see Mara river. the price (the tip) was 5 dollars. Besides, he was very dangerous driving.

Posted on Aug 12, 2016Hi Izaskun,
Sorry for your experience, i take the time to ask the driver guide who were all in Masai Mara on Day 2 when you had the fullday game drive upto the Mara river am told that the migration crossed for less than an hour while the driver who was carrying you was told on radio that there was a killing on the hillside(lemek area) so he changed directions to try and make it for the kill and after he started driving faster( thats when he was overspeeding to make it on time)and when he arrived at the Mara River the crossing for the day was over and he called a ranger to walk you to the river bank on the lookout area to see the crocs and hippo.
Sorry about what happened and i am personally doing my own investigation and if the driver is found to be on the wrong I will PUNISH him accordingly.
Thanks for your honest feedback

Fantastic, will definitely come back!
Me and my husband booked a 4-day Masai Mara safari and we had the best honeymoon! Everything was beyond expectations. Love it!! Robert was patient, prompt response to my emails, provided us with superior service to meet our satisfaction. He's been a big help! The tour guides were knowledgeable and very easy to communicate with. We saw all of the Big Five except for Rhinos, which was a perfect reason we have to visit Lake Nakuru next time going on a safari. We also saw the incredible scene of a large herd of wildebeests and zebras crossing the Mara River, breathtaking! Last but not least, the accommodation was pleasant and comfortable. With no doubt, we highly recommend Karibu Safaris, will definitely come back!

This was a wonderful experience that exceeded expectations.
I wanted a more rugged experience and that is exactly what I got. Two young adult male grandchildren had as much as they could eat and loved it all. The animals were plentiful and the guides all worked together to make sure we had a good experience, yet were mostly respectful of the animals in their habitat. There was a lot of driving on this 6 day, and we should have been advised that the flamingos were not at Nukuru. Having to transit Nairobi frequently was annoying. If there were some way to plan around that, it would make the tour more enjoyable. I, however, was thrilled to see the snows of Kilimanjaro just one morning. Amboseli was probably my favorite park. Aroni, our guide, was very informative, friendly, and patient with the young folk. Nicely done. Asante sana

Highly knowledgeable, very engaging, infectious in her enthusiasm, and nothing was too much trouble.
We traveled with workmates to Masai Mara for 4 days and 3 nights.
They provided a wonderful cultural experience at every level. The accommodation exceeded expectations. It was massive, modern and the pool beautiful. We were all happy and weighed in heavier on departure.
The staff are really what made this destination for us. Always willing to help and serve, yet remaining discreet when required. They were phenomenal. Especially the driver guide Mr. Arony was the best. Massive reality check on returning home!! It truly was sad to leave our new friends.

Exceptional
Just finished safari-I expected a nice holiday but we got much more. Fantastic atmosphere and unforgettable experiences. Our guide-Arony- during the tour told us many interesting stories about living in Kenya, He shared with us his experience regarding habits of wildlife. He knew about wildlife really everything. He was always on time and always in good mood and smiling.

Thanks Alot!!!
Alex and I want to thank you for the well designed and well organized trip you put together for us. We made it to all 5 National Parks in 8 Days and accomplished what we went for. Saw lots of animals including the big five. We gave your name and company out to some folks we met along the way as we were so pleased. Someday, we would like to do the coastal part of Kenya and will contact you when and if we decide to do so.

Beautiful Trip,No Complaints
We spent five days with karibu safaris in masai mara and lake nakuru Arony as the guide. The excellent organization of the guide allowed us to live a great experience safely. Arony knows his job and the parks Added to this, this is a tour that we highly recommend even with children which was our case.

We had a Fabulous time at the Tsavo east, Amboseli and Mombasa with your team.
I wanted to write to you to tell you how grateful we are.We had the most incredible honeymoon and vacation during our stay in march, 2016. First your service in helping me choose the honeymoon that was right for us was second to no one else - which is why we chose you. The entire trip was perfectly orchestrated and could not have gone smoother. You made me look real good to my new bride! We are physically back in Dar esalaam.
You delivered on what you promised and I appreciate your help and commitment to your customers. I highly recommend your company to my friends. Your advice was extremely valuable to me and saved me hundreds of dollars. It's tough to know what to do when planning a vacation in Mombasa, Kenya, especially when it's a honeymoon and you want it to be perfect, but one can relax and trust your company to take care of everything.
We hope to plan another trip next year for our anniversary. Thanks again for everything! It was a pleasure working with your team!
Thanks again for the "Unforgettable Honeymoon"!!!!

First Kenya Safari
Our trip with Karibu Safaris was fantastic. They arranged exactly what we were looking for and reasonably priced for two people. We just returned 4 days ago and are still basking in the wonder of it all! They arranged most of our stay at tented camps which were wonderful, not too basic and very comfortable.
Thank you to our driver for wonderful games drives, Picnic lunch in the field and keeping us on our toes pointing out the animals. Thank you to all for sharing your country, your knowledge and yourselves with us, making for a very memorable trip.
