Truly Amazing Trip!
We did the 8-day Karibu Kenya Safari which was great and would recommend this as it has something new to offer each day. We saw all the Big 5 and so much more and the trip ended so well seeing a pack of wild dogs which are very rare eating an Impala. This was followed by our guide tracking a lioness which led us to two Rhinos along the way stumbled upon her partner the male Lion walking 2 meters behind our vehicle. All this happened in an amazing space of 2 hours. The entire trip was so amazing!!!!

Affordable
We really enjoyed our safari to Masi Mara, the other people on the tour were nice traveling on you own can be pricey so it was nice to have an option to join with others. The accommodation was lovely I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised!

Great experience
We enjoyed this safari trip very much. Our tour guide Joseph was very experienced and kept himself continuously updated on the radio on where to find animals. He also took his time to spot animals himself in the mornings so that we would be the first in place.
We would have expected a bit more drinking water on the tour, but since water and soda was easily available at each camp this wasn't an issue as such.

Adventurous
Karibu safari’s were outstanding. Robert was my point man, and he genuinely did a great job. I had a memorable and exciting time in Kenya, and the team really executed with finesse.
My instructor was Aruni. He is an all star—I don’t say this lightly, he was my MVP. He knows the lands and the animals like a natural, and he has eyes like an eagle out there even driving like a champion—he is also a team player, and a pleasure of an individual. Personally, I feel it was Aruni that made my trip as exciting and incredible as it was.
At one of the places we stayed at I ingested food poisoning—now, how it happened I am not sure—I think what happened was I came late to my third dinner and they made me a plate that was no good—perhaps leftovers that was out for a while, but that is just my guess. It hit me pretty hard, and my trip mates handled it very well, as did Aruni—once he realized there I had an issue he took me to the right places that I needed to get to for proper healthcare, and made sure I was attended to immediately once I got there—he really made a challenging experience a memorable and even a joyous one—and I’ll tell you right now, I was in trouble.
We saw all the animals at Masai Mara. We saw an attempted lion takeover, and even a successful lion hunt of wild boar. It’s real out there, and Karibu safari made a trip possible for me that I’ll remember like my own National Geographic trip.
There is an option to a tour a Masai Mara village (for a cost). Unless you are genuinely interested in their culture, pass on it. You will be followed and eyed throughout the tour for ways to extract money like hyenas do for food—it felt borderline dangerous. And, going into one of their huts seems fun and culturish—it’s a stomach ache waiting to happen. I got out of there and felt like it was my redemption from Shawshank.
Other than that they were respectful.
It’s a lot of driving and a lot of mobilizing—this trip is for one who wants to experience the wildlife and have an adventure of a lifetime.
