Awesome
We visited the Masai mara national park, Amboseli national park, Nakuru national park and Hellsgate national park with Karibu Safaris. We had great experience there. A guy named James was our driver cum guide. He was a very amiable person and I must say quite experienced as well. Among the big five we could not spot the leopard, but apart from that we did see many of the other animals. James took us to the right place at the right time.
I asked for quotations from quite a few travel agencies and Karibu offered the best rate. They were very prompt in answering our queries before our trip and we had a very smooth experience. The camps and hotels were pretty good and so was the food. Karibu also arranged airport transfers and budget hotels for us in Nairobi. I would highly recommend Karibu safaris for budget travellers.
One suggestion for future travellers...this is my personal view though. You may skip the Hellsgate national park. In that park, you would spot zebras, antelopes, buffaloes and warthogs only. However, you would see so many of them everywhere that you might find this park a bit boring. However, I would recommend to go for the boatride at Lake Naivasha. It was really cool and we saw many different types of birds.

An amazing experience with a good itinerary and knowledgeable guide.
The safari itself was amazing, we got to see almost all the animals you could see, including the wildebeest migration. The park was slightly crowded due to the high season but our guide was excellent and we had a great experience. The only thing that could have been better executed was the visit to the Masai village. It was in the morning on the last day of the safari, instead of the last evening which made us short of another morning game drive which could have been more appreciated.

3 days 2 nights Masai Mara group safari
The 3 days 2 nights Masai Mara Safari was excellent.
We were picked up from our hotel by the team, even though it was not near the city center.
Our driver Sam drove very carefully, we felt very save with him. He also knew a lot about the Masai Mara and the animals living there. Thanks to him we got to see many animals like lions, cheetahs, elephants, leopards, buffalos, hippos and crocodiles. We could even do a walk along the river guided by a ranger.
Our accomodation was nice and the food from our cook was delicious typical kenyan food.
All in all everything was very well organized and we could enjoy our safari without having to worry about something

Life time experience
The safari tour was beyond our expectations, if we have in mind that it was booked a low budget safary.
First the experience in a tented camp was very good. Confortable beds, hot shower, good privacy and you have your own tent in the middle of a beautifull wood. Food however was basic (you dont starve, but im still waiting for the coffe on the last day).
The safari itself was amaizing. The pop up van was confortable, and our driver/guide (Mr.James) was very profissional and understanding. One of the best profissionals so far. We went in a good season, so we saw a varity and a lot of animals. We appreciate the fact that Mr. James was attentive in way that he was trying to catch the goods spoots.
In general it was a good experience, and also I must thanks to Mr Roberts that promptly help us when we change the pick up location in the arrival because of the cancellation of our flight.

Discovering Africa with the best guide driver ever
We took 5-days safari tour (Nakuru, Naivaishi, Masai Mara) with outstanding Runi from 1st till 5th October and it was mostly totally great! At first we visited Nakuru for 1 day, saw there rhino! In the first day, can you imagine! But unfortuntelly flamingos were too far to see them. The accommodation and meals was reasonable for the budget tour. The second day we spent in Naivaishi and there were extra costs that we didn’t expected as boat trip (30$) and bicycle tour in Hell’s gate (25$). Bicycle tour is 1,5 hours and 8 km, so we would prefer to do it with Runi rather than with other tour guide, because eventually Runi as usual gave much more information about the park and animals! The accommodation in Navaishi was not as good as previous one. Then we met other guys and went to Masai Mara and it was so unbelievably great: the place, animals, accommodation, meals, our company! This was the best part of the tour, because of the Runi and all his efforts we watched leopard eating zebra, migration of wildebeest, walking hippos during the day, lions doing it and brest feeding, family of elephants, cheetos and dozens of other species! So it was great and we thankful for Runi and our company for this amazing experience!

Amazing weekend!
Really quick at replying to all my emails before the trip.
Raymond was a great driver! He was very knowledgable and really went out of his way to make sure we saw as many animals as possible (we were super lucky and saw all the Big 5 in the first 4 hours of our game drive)!
