Bad start but good end
The first thing is that the driver was excellent and very experienced. Aron is best at taking positions abd chasing animals in Safari game driving. The other thing was that the tent camp was much safer and in good conditions than we thought. Meal was good and internet was ok. Also it is really great to experience such nature.
Apart from this, I must say we experienced a really bad thing. Their email was hacked and we had stress over days even before our journey starts. But they funded our trip because our money was stolen.
Second bad thing was because this is a budget tour, you should think you already accept risking things. So beware that you may come across with hard to deal with kind of things.
The operaters knew how to deal with things. We were 5 people from age of 28 to 60s and none of us found it too hard. I wish you all good luck for the big fiv

A truly authentic Kenyan experience with a friendly knowledgeable tour guide
It was a lot of driving more than expected. I was a little unaware of the itenerary. I don't think you should go to lake nakuru anymore because many tourists, including myself, expect to see many flamingos. At least tell the guests before they go they won't see that. The food is also not meant for American digestive system maybe take alternatives or medicine
A wonderfull 5-day Safari to three different places seeing plenty of animals at close range.
We were very satisfied with our 5-day Safari. Massai Mara was definitely the highlight. The Nakuru park was a worthwhile addition as well as the Hell's Gate Gorge in Naivasha. The 45 minutes boat trip on lake Naivasha however was not worth the additional costs of 20 USD per person.
Accommodation and food was fine. Our guide was very knowledgeable on wildlife , culture, an excellent driver and a very pleasant person.

VERY good value for money with dedicated staff
we had a four day safari to the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru.
In particularly the Maasai Mara was most impressive - and our guide, Joshua, was super!
He stayed in constant communication with other guides and ensured we got the most of the game drives.
Options were a boat trip on Lake Naivasha and a visit to a genuine Maasai village - we did both and it truly enriched our experience!
The accommodation at Maasai Mara was good, whereas the hotel in Nakuru was very basic.
The package included food, which was ample and we enjoyed the local flavors very much!
overall a tour operator definitely to be recommend!
When back in Kenia we will use them again.

It was a great experience for me!!!
Though March is low season for safari tour in Kenna, I could get the chance to see the great nature..
It was an amazing experience with Karibu Safaris travelling three countries...
All the arrangements including travel, accomodation, safari were excellent. I do recommend you all Karibu Safaris.

Very good value for money!
We did a 6 day budget safari with Karibu safaris. We Went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Amazing safaris! Prepare for long days in the car though, Kenya is a vast country and traffic is slow.
We chose Karibu safaris due to the reviews on safaribooking.com and everything went according to plan. Our guide was very keen on showing us everything important and we saw so many amazing things! A trip of a lifetime!
As we were travelling on a budget the accomodation was budget and the bathrooms of low standard, not always warm water, toilet that might not flush etc etc. But it was fine for five nights.
The food was plenty but not always super tasty according to our nordic palate. Bring a few bags of crisps and you'll do fine.
I would reccomend that you get a written contract that specifies what's included in your trip and bring it on your tour. We didn't have a problem but other guests (maybe other tour operators, not sure) had discussions about transfers to the airport etc.
Over all I would highly reccomend this safari if you're on a tight budget but want to see as much as possible and don't mind low standard accomodation.

Very good experience
Our safari week in Kenya's reserves was very good, we have been lucky and well taken into national parks with our guide Jackson. Price/accomodation rate was really fair and the van and meals as well.
Very quick Robert's answering our emails and he even planned a last minute safari afternoon inside Nairobi Nat Park exactly as requested
