Professional and very nice folks.
We had such a wonderful adventure! Emmanuel prepared every aspect of our trip to include more than we could ever imagine. He would check with us to see how everything was going. We were in good hand with our driver, Michael. Michael was like part of the family. He was filled with so much information, love and respect for nature. What a wonderful time!!!

Review about Kibale National Park by Nils
The same as for Bwindi: It was really impressive to see the animals up close. But in a smaller group it would be even better to really get a full score under bush vibe. Here the problem was also that at least 4 groups were close on each other's heels during most of the time and so nearly 40 people as on Black Friday tried to rush after the chimpanzees and take the best position for a picture. I didn't like this stress at all! Apart from that the chimpanzees were very lively and much more active than the gorillas.

Mikumi Safari - beautifull, long travel
Mikumi park is beautiful. Just from the road we saw impalas, giraffes, monkeys, tumbas (pig from cartoon). There are many elephants also. We were lucky and was lion family - 4 adults and 2 babies, just 20 meters from us !!! We also saw crocodiles and hippos, but hippos were in the water and crocodiles just lie... We also saw leopard, just for moment crossing the road, but very close to us. We saw some zebras, buffalo, and wild beasts. No so big group but small ones. next to road we also saw vultures. REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
We were there from Dar es Salaam. just for two days. Apartment for night was in very good level.
Negative was VERY long travel to and from Mikumi (from Dar es Salaam). It was 7 to go to and 9 hours back ! Our driver did not know English very well, so it was not possible to talk with him about country and so on... And I like this.

Good offer for good price.
Karamuna Safaris offer lets to see very much - from Uganda's villages to nature. I took the photos of the gorillas, antilopes, giraffes, hipos, elephants, many birds. Food was OK, sometimes - very OK. My group lived in budget hotels, so hot water wasn't in everywhere, but I understand that it's not 4 or 5 stars hotel. Our guides were nice and kind. Only my special ask - don't hurry in savannah, better wait, when the tourists want to see and take pictures of the animals.

Friendly, knowledgable and attentive to detail
We found Naomi and Gladys at Heritage of African Jungles to be warm, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to details. They were prompt and accurate with their responses by email, and very helpful when we visited them in their Nairobi office. We had a nice tour to Masai Mara National Reserve. Our guide, Francis, was professional, flexible, friendly, and an excellent driver. We enjoyed our time with him.

Thank you Bosco
Bosco is a responsible man. We had a nice time with him. He showed us around Amazing Uganda with much kindness and modesty. We recommend Bosco s guide and the prices of enchanted Uganda saffaris.

Great first safari experience at a fair price (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru + Amboseli NP)
Hi there,
My journey did not start so well as I had a flight delay of 24h in Paris.
But Robert helped me to join my friend later, that was much appreciated.
Karibu Safaris run daily tours and have a flexible tour system where they put together new groups for each tour part if necessary.
The drivers were good. Especially Arony was great, had a lot of knowledge and experience and was fun to drive with.
The accommodation was basic but ok.
Thank you for the great trip, I enjoyed it very much, saw a lot of animals and of course the big 5.
I will definitely be back to Kenia for another safari!
Cheers

Guides/Ground Transportation excellent. Food/Accommodations adequate/ lunch's terrible.
Communication between us and the guides the day his credit cards didn't work to allow us to get into the Serengeti would have been nice. It took over 2 hours... and very little to no communication as to why until the end?
Guides had awesome knowledge about animals, birds, and culture. They communicated with their peers on where animal sightings might be so we could see as many animals as possible. They were both also very accommodating to the needs of the group and made adjustments if needed. They always maintained professionalism and the safety of the group was always at the top of their list.
The guides made sure the vehicles were always clean for the next day's trip.
Food at the resorts was not bad, but the lunch boxes were not appetizing!
Hotels... Moivaro Coffee Plantation Lodge - Really not good at all. Afraid to eat the food and very confusing at check out time for the food/bar bill. We were overcharged... double for the drinks and food we had already paid for the night before. 2nd lodge - Tarangire Sopa Lodge - Very nice lodge, the view was great and the pool was chlorinated which was nice. 3rd lodge - Escarpment Luxury Lodge - by far the cleanest and nicest lodge of the entire trip with another awesome view! The food at this lodge was the best of the entire trip as well. 4th lodge - Serengeti Sopa Lodge - Location and view were awesome... the food adequate. 5th lodge - Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge - Location and view were awesome, food... this is where one of us got sick from the food. 5th lodge - KIA Lodge - Food was not good here. Accommodations were okay, but having the A/C that night was the best!
In all of the lodges, the staff was very nice and accommodating. The guides were awesome and overall the safari was outstanding!
