Reviews
They were fantastic service and extremely caring and looked after us from start to finish. Amazing!
Hello there
We have already used your company in December to Serengeti etc. It was an amazing car and a driver we had, and are certainly telling everyone about our great experience with your company. This tour was booked by Sona Thakrar who did an amazing job looking after us from start to end. We were very pleased with the service she provided us and she is a great asset to your company.
We got very much looked after your Arusha office when there too Ian. I truely recommend your company and ofcourse the people make it.
Once again thank-you to Sona Thakrar for making our December trip a very memorable one for life.

Great adventure!
The whole trip was very well arranged. The safari, in particular was a great experience as the guides were very knowledgeable and did their best to ensure we had a good time. The staff back at Mdonya Old River Camp were very hospitable and the food was delicious. It was nice to meet other travellers from all over the world around a camp fire and this trip really did give us the full bush experience. Would definitely recommend booking with Karibu as they take care of everything. All you have to do is show up!

A BIG thank-you to the team
Sona and Luci put together a wonderful Tanzania experience holiday. They met all our criteria in terms of rustic bush safari experience, birding in Selous and some glam in Zanzibar. The holiday was enjoyed by all. Thank-you to the team for making it such an unfortgetable holiday

Every trip organized through Karibu World provides one-stop shopping and reliable service.
I have planned many successful and memoriable trips for our family through the service of Karibu World. They know Tanzania and have the breadth of extended tour affiliates to accommodate all budgets and senses of adventure. I would recommend Karibu World to anyone who wants trustworthy, reliable service. Looking forward to our next holiday!

Modest means but great experience
We trekked to the Roof of Africa with Karibu Travel. The booking arrangements were seamless. Six travelers were picked up punctually at their respective homes/hotels and shuttled to the Dar airport in a clean, and relatively-new vehicle. The trip was seamless-from arrival at Mountain Inn to the modest log cabin bunk beds at Horombo and Kibo. We were well-fed and motivated by our guides, who stuck by our side through the tough moments and the more leisurely times on the mountain. Overall, Karibu's service exceeded expectations.
My experience was absolutely wonderful.
The safari guide on my trip was a gentlemen named Muridy Aahmed. He was great. We had great sightings in Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire. For example, we saw a huge buffalo herd (300); many elephants, a pair of cheetah (twice!), lions on a kill, and lionesses and their cubs. Muridy is knowledgeable, eloquent, and passionate. He is a gentlemen, professional, and expert. I highly recommend his services.
The decor in the lodge at Tarangire was unattractive. The lodge had one plus: the outdoor elevated patio that allowed you to drink and eat and be very close to an elephant herd as it drank and ate.

Family trip to Ngorongoro
Tasneem was very prompt and pleasant in our communications to set up the trip. I also had to call while we were already on the trip for a few emergencies, and Zulfikar was extremely helpful over the phone. I would highly recommend working with Karibu again.

The Absolute Best!
Sona and the rest of the Karibu World team helped to make my Safari experience the absolute best!
I contacted Karibu World very last minute to see if they could get me into a Safari, and they did! I worked with Sona (who called me after hours on her personal mobile) and she made all the arrangements for me. Within hours (literally, 12 hours) I was on a flight to Ruaha. For a young female traveling alone, having a travel agent who was accessible and willing to help and make me feel comfortable made a world of difference.
I had no idea what to expect, but when I arrived I was pleasantly, surprised. The Safari guides were so helpful (they know SO much about animal behavior and their relationship to their surroundings) and the camp that I stayed on was beyond my wildest imaginations. I was right in the middle of the Bush in a tent that made me feel safe, yet connected with the world around me. It's the perfect balance of glamping and connectedness.
The food was great, and everyone on the Safari that I met was just as enthusiastic as myself. It was great to have a family dinner at night with the whole camp because we got to exchange stories and meet some unique people from around the world.
I highly recommend their services! I have nothing but wonderful words to say about Karibu World. The safari was the best decision I ever made, and I'm so thankful to Sona and the Karibu World team to make it a beautiful experience. In fact, I'll be returning next year to hike Kili and will be using Sona and Karibu World for my arrangements. Good luck, and happy safari-ing!

Great organisation of our Ruaha camping trip by Karibu World
My recent camping trip to Ruaha National Park was fabulously organised by Karibu. There were no problems at all, we were promptly picked up from the airstrip and were warmly welcomed to the camp site where we got a real feel of life in the bush. Our guides were very helpful (even spotted a leopard). I highly recommend booking through Karibu World for a hassle-free trip.
