Very helpful, would recommend to friends
Communications were always prompt, service and the offers of help were very good and welcome as it was our first time in Africa. Certainly lived up to expectations. Arranged exactly the holiday that I wanted.

Good quality/price
The communication with Isaac, the manager of Best Memory Safaris, was easy from the beginning. The vehicle was a 4x4 Toyota van (a little dated but nice anyway), with lift roof to see better the animals. Inside de van was a little camping fridge with fresh water bottles, and two sockets to charge your electronic stuff.

We would recommend this tour operator to all our friends and family.
It was easy to communicate because of E-Mail and WhatsApp contact. We had an informative chat with Noah to find the right tour for us. Our driver Andrew in Kenya was a great guy, he gave us a lot of Informations about every animal we have seen and he knew the hot spots to find the big five. We felt safety all the time and had a lot of fun together.
In Tansania our driver was Ibraham-a funny and nice guy, too.
The service was great during all the days, we didn‘t miss anything!

Review about Samburu National Reserve by Ray
Good to see the different species compared to the south of the country, but would not make this a priority.

Review about Nairobi National Park by Ray
If you are in Nairobi and do not have a chance to go on a safari this is a must.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Ray
I used to go regularly when the flamingos were there. To see over one million flamingoes on the lake was an incredible site. Unfortunately the flamingos are no longer there and probably better to go to Naivasha and take a boat out to Crescent Island.

All the photos, videos, about a safari, will never truly describe the experience of it.
Its an excellent place to see and get close to rhinos, both black and white. Stayed at Serena Sweetwaters, a luxury tented camp. Would recommend, everything you need. A beautiful view from the camp facing a lake and out to Mount Kenya. Not though the best place to see Mount Kenya. Plenty of wildlife, very easy to navigate. There's a chimpanzee sanctuary, the only one in Kenya, but was a disappointment. Only saw 2 chimps. If this is your first trip to Kenya, this would not be top of my list. I would first recommend Maasai Mara and then Amboseli. If in the area of Nanyuki, and you have been to the big parks I would suggest a night lodge, but if you have not been to the big parks, then Ol Pejeta will give you the safari experience.

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!

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
