Knowledgeable, personable, expert guide made all the difference
5/5

We cannot imagine a better excursion than the one Liese led us on for four days and three nights.
We chose Wildlife Safaris because of its extensive experience at safaris but also because it was a founder of the trade association that self-governs such outfits and holds them accountable to high-quality consumer service. Liese validated our choice.
Liese picked us up at our hotel in Johannesburg, drove us to Kruger as well as Chisomo Safari Camp, guided us on a number of safaris, dined with us twice a day and then returned us to the hotel afterward.
She immediately felt like family to my wife and teenage daughter and me. She knew how to relate to each of us in various moods at different times, and she endeared herself to us with her stories and the personal interest she took in us.
Her vast experience as a guide as well as a citizen of South Africa helped us gain valuable understanding not just of the wildlife we encountered (including the Big 5) and their environments but also some of the grander forces that have influenced the area and its inhabitants over time. She was knowledgeable, respectful and still enthusiastically curious about everything we experienced on the safari.
When at last we parted ways, we separated from someone who briefly became a close friend.

The trip to gorillas' Bwindi
5/5

The trip was the experience of a lifetime. Our tour guides were outstanding. They were not only knowledgeable about the area, they were kind, considerate and just went above and beyond. Thank you again to Brian for organizing for us to seeing gorillas in the impenetrable forest is an experience I will never forget. The country is beautiful, the animals amazing and an experience I would absolutely recommend to anyone traveling to tryout.

Unforgetable expirience.
5/5

We did 4 day budget safari that included Lake Manyara, Norongoro and Serengetti. We chose Meru Slopes because if the conpetetive price. The safari exceeded our expectations we enjoyed every moment of it. The trip was very well organized and the guide, chef and tour operator put all their heart to make our safari a wonderful experience. The only recommendation I'd give is to perhaps opt for an upgradated option in Norongoro. We stayed in a really nice canpsite in Manyara and Serengetti,. In Norongoro the campsite had ananzing location but it was really cold at night. Although we were warned the temperature was going to be very cold , we didn't expect it to be that cold.

Very well organized 10 days safari in Kenya+Tanzania
5/5

Our family of 2 adults and 3 kids (11-16 years old) did 10 days safari in Kenya and Tanzania. It was the first time in Africa for us and we were a bit anxious before the trip.

Preparation with Noah Kuti and reservation went very smoothly. On arrival we were met and transferred to a hotel. Next morning we were picked on time and started 10 days tour to lake naivahsa/ masai mara /serengeti /ngorongoro /tarangeri /amboseli national parks. The lake navasha probably could be skipped or replaced by the lake bogoria as flamingos have left it.

Our guides were Michel/Hamza/Rashid. All were very responsive, friendly and with a 6th sense to spot animals. Cars were well equipped and spacious - had enough space for us and for our luggage. We saw a big five - elephant, black rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard - from a very close and many other animals including a cheetah and a python. We saw wildebeest crossing mara river. Hippos, wildebeests and crocodiles - everything was there; like on TV :)

Days were very intensive from 7:00/8:00 in the morning to 18:00 in the afternoon. We did many options: boat trip in lake nakuru, visited masai village (which was a very special experience on itself), visited ngorongoro farm house / coffee plantation (please ask for a guide - Babadingi), night safari.

Kids got tired to the second half of safari, but it was worth.

Everything was perfectly organized by the company and 100% delivered.
Definitively recommend.

Once in a lifetime experience
5/5

I believe that this safari is great value for money. Our tour manager, Magdalene took wonderful care of us whilst booking our safari via e-mails. She replied to all our questions and provided the necessary information. She even communicated with us via Whatsapp on the day of the safari. Edward, our driver, was one of a kind. He drove fast but attentively. Not a man of many words but he really did his best to show us the beautiful Masai Mara. We were lucky enough to see ALL of the big five. We were ecstatic. He explained all the kinds of animals that we saw; waited patiently whilst we took a million photos, planned the game drive times with us etc. - we really appreciated his efforts.
Rhino camp was a very basic camp. William changed our camp after realising that there was a broken window in the shower. Beware of the monkeys! Zip the camps at all times. Electricity is available early in the morning (5-7) and in the evening (6-10) which makes sense since there is natural sunlight and most of the people are out for game drives during the rest of the time. We were impressed that hot water was also available. Food was simple but good.
Overall a very very satisfying and enjoyable experience. Keep up the good service. Will definitely recommend.

Nice driver and an awesome trip!
5/5

The communication with Karibu Safari was too easy. I communicated with Robbert by email and evean by whatsapp and he answered always very fast. When we arrived to Kenya, Arony, our dirver, picked up us very punctual and the service was really good. He was a serious guy, very good driver, always ready to answer our questions and to help with anyrhing we needed. The safari was awesome, we saw the big five quite close enough, we evean saw species difficult to be seen. Arony knew a lot about animals and each time we asked something, he answered to our doubts. It was a pleasure to share with him such an adventure!

Well organized, comfortable camping and passionate staff
5/5

Robert heads up the Nairobi office and was extremely responsive over email. I had very specific questions around price and timing and he was able to accommodate. While in safari I was able to reach Robert on Whatsapp as while the driver is 110% focused on giving you the best game drive, he may not know every individuals' travel itinerary. My driver, Aruuni, was a very no nonsense expert and skipped the small stuff to focus on unforgettable memories of rare jaw-dropping animals. He has a lot of animal and Kenyan knowledge. He did an amazing job avoiding traffic and keeping the ride as non bumpy as possible (difficult on remote Kenyan roads). I was well briefed on the weather changes, variations in types of accommodation (basic hotels versus camping and what linens were or weren't needed). Upon return another staff member, Dan, was key to helping me enjoy my remaining time in Nairobi and set up drivers, day tour suggestions and transfers. Karibu also organized Tanzanian safaris, through Tanzanian company and communication between all three parties (myself, Karibu, TZ company) could have been improved. Robert did his best but it's always hard when he is responsible for my transaction but has little influence on how the Tanzanian part of the purchase plays out (solely managed by TZ company).
