He was fun, played music for us and also very friendly making the experience exceptional.
Karibu safaris is the right choice we made (my sister and I) while we were considering a safari booking to Masaai Mara.From the workers at the office to the Game driver (Mark ) who was amazing , very friendly, fun and social all through our entire Trip. You guys made the experience 10times Better. Thank you!
Would definitely choose you again for my next trip and Recommend you guys

An amazing experience!
Thanks to Karibu Safari we could enjoy an eventful, adventurous and unforgettable safari. We experienced the agency as very competent and committed. Everything worked as written on paper. Our guide Mark always tried to fulfill our wishes. Despite his young age, he was able to inspire us very much during this week. He was authentic and looked out for our well-being. Although he had a hard job and had to drive several hours every day, he always had a smile on his face and was able to answer our questions competently. We highly recommend families, couples and friends to use the Karibu Safari agency and especially to have a great guide, like we had, with us on the dream trip. We would also choose Karibu Safari again and again.

Uncoordinated, rushed and disappointing experience.
Having such a beautiful country, this should be such an easy job. Well it was not, it appears that the group I was in was too large for the company so they had to hire an external contractor, 3 busses from the conpany, one outsider. The best experience was the outside contractor. There was no coordination between the drivers, it almost appeared that the 3 drivers from the company had a problem with the outside contractor and did not support him in any way. The 4th driver with the people he had in his care were abandoned 2 times on the safari, one time for 1 hour and a half, when the bus could not move and see anything because the papers for the bus were with the other drivers. So 7 people out of 27 missed a part of the safari, the only encounter with a leopard. After all this, at the end of the safari we were suppose to cross the river and see the big migration, but the car we were in could not cross, luckily we were taken by a total stranger group ... otherwise we would have missed it. Last but not least our driver kept being harrassed by the others to drive faster on public roads, break the speed limit and really put our lives in dager with unsafe driving, I have seen him being called literally every 5 minutes, I felt UNSAFE! So yes ... poor experience in one of the most amazing places in the world!

Percecf Mt Kenya with Kevin & Maron
I did the 4 day trip to Mt Kenya and sumitted Lenana peak. Karibu organised transport to & from the mountain which went very smoothly but the best part of the trip was my guide Kevin and chef Maron. Kevin was excellent, great to chat to about life, Kenyan culture and park wildlife etc. Maron cooked the most incredible and plentiful meals and together they created an excellent experience for me. They went above and beyond - Setting up my tent, setting up cute lunch locations en route and made the trip the best. Communication before the tour was great answering questions and good value for money.

Great time!
I went on a 7 day safari through several parks. It was great! The time in Masai Mara and Amboselli was incredible! The other parks were good but no where near as good. In retrospect I would have gone to Masai Mara and Amboselli if possible.
We had 2 guides: Raymond and Daniel. Both were great. Very accommodating and kind to be around. The roads in Kenya are a little scary in general, but I felt safe with both these drivers.

Very friendly and informative
When we had the safaris we weren't rushed, the communication was good and the guide was very kind.

Unforgettable moments thanks to our driver/guide
With Karibu Safaris in Kenya we had the most beautiful experience that one can have. Everything went perfectly and we are more than satisfied with the organisation of the tour. In particular Anthony our driver/guide was invaluable throughout the tour. He treated us with much respect, solved all our queries, was always friendly and helpful and is an excellent driver. Accommodation was perfect and the food delicious. Very good value for money and 5 stars all the way.

Great Experience
We spent great 3 days with Guide Castro. Besides being very polite and helpful, he managed to show us wild animals like lion, leopard, cheetahs, zebra, hippo and many others. We also had a chance to see those animals in action - when they ate someone and mating(lions

Great and Memorable!
We had a great time with Karibu! The camp and food was simple but adequate!
Our safari guide and driver was Raymond who ensured we saw the big 5 :) he was great and really considerate of our needs while on the drive. Moreover he was also punctual (always). Overall loved the experience and would highly recommend it.

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.
