Raymond and Kevin were like animal whisperer and F1 drivers in one! Amazzzinggg
Did the 5 day tour and honestly can’t believe how much we did and saw. We felt safe and happy the whole time.
Excellent value for money - in fact, we kept saying we couldn’t believe what was included. Accommodation, food and drives. Raymond and Kevin were patient and we even made time for a lovely lunch with them on the last day.
Highly recommend!

Perfect
Raymond and Kevin were the best tour guides, we saw so many animals, they knew the best places to go at. Felt safe in the car with them driving. They made sure we had enough water, knew a lot about the surrounding and animals. The places we stayed at were nice as well! Especially the glamping near masaai mara was amazing and the people there were so nice!

Friendly and well organised safari! We had best time ever!
Safari tour was excellent! Our driver Aruni was friendly and very well prepared for everything during the trip! Very nice and kind guide! We were on time for our program despite the traffic in the roads! The experience was great and we would like to come back to enjoy again the Karibu safari tour!

Flawless experience, knowledgeable guide
We had an awesome time in our safari experience. Aroni our guide was knowledgeable, smart, easygoing and helped us get the full Masai Mara experience. We really really enjoyed and we most definitely recommend Karibu and especially Aroni and try to visit again in the future!

Efficient
Pros: Overall great experience. Saw all the animals on the bucket list. Our guide was great about following any leads from other drivers to make sure we saw the big 5 and more. He was responsive to when we wanted to stop and was genuinely friendly and kind.
Cons: You are on a trip with multiple people on different itineraries, so there is some extra travel between safaris and differing accommodations, which takes up some extra travel time. Also because of this, there is some group decisions that need to be made that may compromise what you want to do. We were also never offered the boat trip the at was supposedly available on my itinerary because others had it scheduled on a different day, which was frustrating. Additionally, this trip is in a van vs jeep/Range Rover so there are limits as to speed and locations where you can drive. It did not seem to affect the total animals we saw but luck may have been on our side.
Overall the trip was awesome, but if you want full control of your itinerary, there may be better options.

Give you an unforgettable tour of a lifetime
If you are looking for a safari tour, Karibu Safaris is recommended. Mr. Castro who was our tour operator was very entertaining. They spent hours trying to show us as many rare moments of animals as possible. And the driving technique was excellent, showing the animal at the closest and best point of any car. Thank you Castro. The inn run by the Maasai tribe was also very enjoyable. The tent was comfortable and the conversation with the Maasai tribe was very humorous and fun. It was the most memorable and fun tour of my life.

What an epic 3-day safari tour with budget tented camp!
Highly recommend Karibu Safaris as Collins (our guide/driver) is top-notch -having lots of knowledge, communication skills, and driving skills.
A group of seven had an incredible time seeing lots of wildlife: 4 out of Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo), giraffe, cheetah, wildebeest, topi, zebra, impala, gazelle, hippos and many more even not in the high season at the end of November.
We love Masai Mara, Kenya, and the people. Asante sana!

Roonie was very helpful. He knew all the best spots to see animals like leopard, rhino, cheetah, etc
We went in group of 6. Got the jeep car directly from our place in Nairobi to a camp next to the Masai Mara Park entrance. The accomodation and meals were better than I expected from Kenyan to be. Overall we all enjoyed so much.

Amazing safari experience with top service
We were extremely happy with this safari tour!! Definitely worth the money (and also one of the cheapest we could find). Everything was great - we stayed in a tent camp with some really welcoming locals. The tent was pretty big and comfortable, with a double bed and a private bathroom (incl. hot water).
Although our safari van broke down as soon as we arrived at masai mara, the team was very fast at finding a solution - in the end, we got a free upgrade to a nicer (more expensive) 4x4 :))
Overall, everything was very smooth and we have nothing negative to say. You can rest assured that the tour team will make their best to give you the best experience and to make you happy!
