Very nice experience for a budget safari (6 days Amboseli, Nakuru lake, Masai Mara)
Group of 3 (2 adults and a 13 year old girl)
Αlthough we had to reverse the route starting from Amboseli instead of Masai Mara as was the plan it was a very good experience. ΅ We saw many animals in Amboseli and Masai Mara (4 out of Big5, no Leopard) but not much of the lake Nakuru because of the heavy rain.
Edward (our driver) is a great tourguide with a lot of knowledge. Very kind and he told us interesting information about the animals as well as their habits. He had a good feeling when to stop for some photos and even when we had a special stopping request he always stopped for us.
We had great time in the parks, but be prepared to sit in a car for a long especially when moving from one park to another.
The food was ok but almost the same every day
This safari is not for anyone expecting comfort and luxury, but if your goal is to see amazing animals at an affordable price then do the tour
We recommend safari experience with Karibu and especially Edward as a driver.

Well organized and knowledgeable
The safari was very well organized. Our driver made sure we had a good time and was good at spotting animals. We saw mostly everything from lions, cheetah, leopard to elephants. He waited patiently for us to take pictures and checked in with the group. The accodomation was also good and food was good too. We are vegetarian so enough options. Overall a good way to see Masai marrai on a budget.

Wonderful experience, highly recommend
My husband and I did a six day safari (Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli) with Arony as our guide. We had an incredible time. Arony is super knowledgeable, friendly, and an all around fantastic tour guide. I will definitely be requesting him next year when I come back for a second safari with my parents and brother. The head office was very responsive over what’s app, answered all my questions, and then organized a train for us from Nairobi to Mombasa at the end of our trip. Will definitely be booking again. Impeccable customer service.

One thing I had never done in my life
It was pretty nice game reserve drive. I enjoyed most of the time. But the tant wasn’t what I expected. It was a bit cold at night, maybe cuz of the season. The ranger was very skillful one and he also explained everything he knew, make us to be comfortable. I liked everything overall.
Thanks for everything

8days safari with Karibu
We (couple) booked 8 days safari with Karibu. Communication was very easy, Robert from office answered all the questions quickly (same day within a couple of hours). It's an affordable budget safari and we really enjoyed the whole experience. The accommodations are basic but fit to the purpose. Karibu offered to upgrade the camps so if you like you can pay more for better quality. I found this system very flexible and their way of working is really effective. The drivers are friendly however sometimes you have to ask them to inform you and/or tell more about the parks and wildlife. Overall it's a beautiful experience and well worth the money paid for 8 days. Additionally we booked 1 day to visit Nairobi national park, Sheldrick orphanage and giraffe center. I highly recommend this company!

Provided us an experience even better that promised while booking, our tour guide James is great.
Agency made all efforts to make our time in Kenya comfortable including pick up at the airport, arranging pre and post safari hotel bookings and prompt reply to all our communications. The safari was as an unique experience, our tour guide made all efforts to take us to the right spots at the right time.

Great experience for a budget safari
Bearing in mind the cost of this safari, everything went quite smoothly. Accommodations are basic, but clean. Food was decent, although not a lot of variety. Be warned that you will spend a lot of time in the vehicle, so it is advisable to stock up on snacks and drinks! Our driver, James, was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the animals and birds we saw. He also knew all the best places to find them and went out of his way to make sure we saw plenty of wildlife. In addition, he is friendly and courteous. We saw the Big 5 and much more on our 1 week safari. Overall, a great experience, thank you Karibu Safaris!
