Really good guide!
The Safari in Masai Mara and Nakuru Lake is ideal for a group of friends, family or couples who are looking for an adventure and some peace and quiet. I went alone and It was amazing as well!
The Lodge in Masai Mara and the Hotel in Nakuru Lake are situated near to the Game Reserve, both very clean, confortable, staff are friendly and there is hot shower during some hours per day (Masai Mara). The only thing is that I spent my first night in a shared room (even if I booked a private).
Aroni was our guide for 4 days and I really enjoyed his company, ponctuallity, knowledge about the animals and the places we’ve been, africain culture and enthousiasme doing his work! Really good driver as well! I would recommend Aroni to anyone.

The safari was great!
Everything was perfect besides two small details... during the safari we had two drivers. The first one drove us during the time we were in Masai Mara. Althought our package said that water was included he didn't provide us any. Also the last day we were supposed to have an early game drive in Masai Mara but instead he told us we were driving directly away from the park.
The second driver was great, and the overall experience really good!

We had a fantastic safari experience in Masaai Mara with Karibu.
We had a fantastic tour, we got immediate and accurate answers to our questions when writing to them in advance, we were picked up on time and had a most kind, knowledgeable and talkative guide, Collins/Arony. He made our safari an unforgettable experience.

I was well taken care of and saw so many animals!
The 'add on' safari is very interesting. You never know how long you will be with the same group. I signed up for the 5 day safari. Days 1 & 2, I was with 6 very nice people. We stayed at an eco camp. Lots of fun (but don't expect a hot shower). Days 3 & 4 was spent with a very fun and diverse group. The hotel was economy...but it wasn't about the accommodations for me, although I loved the place I stayed on the last night. Day 5, I had a private driver! I felt like royalty. He stopped whenever I wanted, took many pictures for me and was very informative.
In all this was an amazing experience. The drivers were all great, taking us over some terrain that I would have a hard time walking/climbing over! They some how spotted animals that were totally camouflaged, easing up to them for breathtaking viewing. One day we saw 12 lion cubs rollicking around together on a large rock. After a while 3 lionesses strolled over and lay down or groomed a cub with no concern for us. I saw all the 'Big 5', even the very elusive Leopard, as well as many, many other animals. At Hells Gate Park there are no predators so I was able to get out of the vehicle and wander in the fields as zebras and giraffes (among others) grazed. What a feeling! Do this!!! You won't regret it.

Great mount Kenya hike with Karibu Safaris
We had a fantastic experience with Karibu Safaris and in particular with Dan who in just one day organised for us a last minute 5 days trek up to mount Kenya.
He introduced us to our guide Jimmy who met us in Nairobi and explained us clearly the activity for the next few days and answered all our questions in regards to different route and safety concerns.
When you decide to climb a 5.000mt mountain you want to make sure you are looked after by a professional and capable ensemble of expert hikers.
That was the case with Jimmy and his team including 2 porters and 1 chef.
I would highly recommend Karibu Safaris to anyone keen to hike mount Kenya and its surroundings for the following reasons:
- Great service
- Competitive price
- Genuinely good/caring people
- Safety first is their priority
- Great food
I would use Karibu Safaris service again if I had the chance.
By the way , hiking mount Kenya was one of the top highlights of our travelling across Africa for the last 3 months. Do it!

Awful tour for affordable price level.
We can truly say, we had a great tour with many highlights, especially in Maasai Mara, where we got in close contact to the big five. Before starting the tour we had no big expectations, but after the tour all our expectations have been fulfilled. The accommodations were okay as well as the food, which was served. We had a perfect guide (Arony). He was a very good and safe driver and took care about us all the time. We can recommend Karibu Safaris in Kenya to all, who would like a budget and no luxory safari.

Good.
Sami, the car driver was really good . And Kioko the chief as well. The hotel was not so nice without hot water and only 2 hours of light a Day.

Great safari!
We had a great tour in Masai Mara. Although the drive from Nairobi to Mara and back is a lot, we were extremely happy and saw the Big5 and others. Our guide/driver Edward did amazing job in finding the animals and he is really kind&funny but he isn't the most talkative and would only share more details when asked. For me that was more than fine, but I'd assume that some people would enjoy of more interaction. The accommodation was a nice tented camp and food filling African stuff with possibilities to buy extra drinks or chocolate bars. Due the company's internal matters, our game drive on Sunday morning was cancelled but when requested we were organized additional program in Nairobi before our flight home. If we wouldn't have seen all the animals during the previous drives, that would have been a bigger deal but now we were satisfied with the compensation. Overall, excellent value for the money, truly student friendly and great experience!

Three day-two night safari, lots of animals and driving
Really great tour of Maasai Mara, saw all big 5 animals and lots more. Lots and lots and lots of driving on bumpy roads at high speed. Took a toll on the body and was difficult to sit all day. Driver was excellent for finding animals but did not tell us much about the animals. Very friendly on the wallet.
