Very good service
Good, reliable company. Our safari driver was Albert, very knowledgeable and punctual driver. We stayed in Jambo Mara safari lodge. Rooms were clean with hot water. The only wifi that worked was in the restaurant, which only worked when it wasn't busy.

*WE LOVE ZANZIBAR SAFARI BLUE* This year it was even better than before - it was perfect!
My first Safari Blue might have been back in 2008 and the day trip has been a priority every time I have been on Zanzibar after that.
This year we had the perfect day. Our captain Ally and his crew were at our service the whole day. With a soft drinks on the beautiful boat surrounded by the beautiful Indian ocean, my son looked so peaceful and content. We all snorkeled for a long while and there were so many beautiful fishes.
At the sand bank we played in the water and chilled in the sand. Just as my son told me he was getting bored (as all the grown-ups were reading books or sleeping) Ally announced it was time to follow the dolphins.
We had watermelon, pineapple, local peanut, sweets and coconuts on the boat. Seeing the dolphins was the frosting on the cake. The day was complete.
Then we went to the island for the best sea food lunch you can imagine, followed by a variety of fresh fruits. Beautiful surroundings, comfortable seating in the shade of a sail and this time even entertainment with African drums, singing and dancing.
The Safari Blue day trip is packed with amazing experiences in tranquil locations. The staff is always at your service. The food and drinks are delicious and the commodities clean and comfortable.
We were five people on this trip and we all agreed it had been the perfect day.
I'm already looking forward till next time.

Great Safari Experience with our guide Castro
The safari was very good, we saw many different animals and beautiful scenery. Our driver Castro was very knowledgeable of the animals and gave us plenty of time and opportunities for photographs.

Great East African holiday, Outstanding Adventure from an excellent operator
The Avens T.W team worked closely with us to customize what was a dream come true safari holiday in the East African destinations of Uganda and Tanzania. We had planned our travel to Uganda only before covid but had to postpone until this year it became quite safe to travel and since i and my wife had more time for holiday our travel planner Anatoli recommended we have extra 4 days in Tanzania.
From the initial to final communications with our travel planner it went all well to the adventures in the far south of the country where we went to see the gorilla apes in Bwindi through a slippery steep rain-forest, we moved over 3 hours with the ranger and guide all way where we found trackers who directed us where these great Apes were and it was emotional watching them with their youngones. The next day we went to the Queen Elizabeth park where we met various savanna wildlife on game viewing in safari car and boat along a water-steam of Kazinga.
After our safari in Uganda we left for Tanzania to Ngorongo Conservancy and Tarangire and these two destinations are otherworldly wildlife destinations. The crater drive in Ngorongoro C.A and its wildlife and the tree Lions of Tarangire were the highlights of our visit to this great country, our local guide in TZ Majaliwa was charming. Can't wait to explore more of Africa.

Good value for the money
We are two people who booked Kilimanjaro and safari with Gundua.
Overall we had a good experience.
Our Kilimanjaro climb was a great and very challenging experience and we are very proud we made it to the top. And a huge thanks to our team for this. Our guides were very knowledgeable, nice and experienced and the team as a unit was well functioning and helpful. And the food was good! We booked the 7 days Machame (whisky) route, but be aware that it is only 6 actual days on the mountain because the first day is just the arrival day in Arusha, which is a little misleading. We would not recommend doing Machame in only 6 days since the route is very tough and challenging - we would recommend 7 days on the actual mountain. We choose Gundua because of the pricing. This means, that with Gundua you get a tour with simple facilities, but you have what you need. But it is not a luxury tour so ex you don’t have a private toilet tent and you need to use the camp toilet which are not so clean. So you have to be fine with this (which we personally were satisfied with).
The safari we booked was not one of those that Gundua normally offers, so we were in a car with people who booked the Safari with other companies. The tour satisfied our expectations.
Only bad things we have to say is that we were not informed forehand, that card payment was not an option and also not informed on the tipping recommendations for Kilimanjaro which put us in a very awkward situation in the end of the climb after an otherwise very good experience which was quite a shame to finish up in this way.

Great
Unforgettable experience with friends. The French-speaking guide Manu was very friendly and welcoming, the driver Isaac was patient with us. The prices were attractive. I thank the whole team, the organization and I highly recommend doing a safari with this agency.

Great trip with a guide who new where to go in Masai Mara
We had a great trip with the guide James. He had knowledge of where to go and what to see. He could have given a little more detailed information while we were drivning in the park.
But a great guide and we highly recommend him.
We did a late request for a safari and we got a quick response. Only information we did not get was to not pay full amount via M-Pesa, the company made us pay 26 usd extra as a M-Pesa fee.

Well organized
Hi all,
This is Sara from Dubai, I had once in a lifetime experience in Victoria falls, Miss Julia was my point of contact and customized my itinerary in away that met my expectations, I had good time and loads of memories to pack it back to my country, I highly recommend people to go for the adventure, yet be Cautious of the immigration formalities which might be inconvenient, otherwise the overall experience is worth taking, especially Victoria falls park, angles pool experience, elephant reserve, and so much more,

Karibu Safaris is trustworthy and caring
We opted for Karibu Safaris as a budget tour provider and have not been disappointed. We drove to Masai Mara in a convoy of 4 landcruisers. So we knew in case of a flat tire or something we drivers/guides would help each other out. The accommodation was Miti Mingi Eco Camp (not Enchoro - but I think they are alike). You have to know that the accommodation is pretty basic, but since you are out exploring all day it does not make a huge difference anyway. The staff was super friendly, the food was nothing fancy but good. The game drives were exactly what we were looking for: We enjoyed driving through the vast landscape and loved seeing the animals alongside with explanations from our guide Peter. It has to be noted that the whole team was really caring and wanted to make sure we had a good time. Since we had to be at the airport on our last day, they arranged to programme according to our needs do that we would be sure to get to Nairobi on time. A huge thank you!
