Amazing very well organized 6 days safari in Kenya
I opted for the budget option for 680 USD, which is an avarage price in Nairobi and most of the travel agencies will group people together for a tour. We were 7 people in a mini van for a 6 days safari in Kenya. The driver and guide was excellent, he really knew a lot about animals and made an unforgettable trip for us. We visited 3 national parks in 6 days , but also spent a lot of time on the road travelling from one national park to the other. The accomodation is basic, if you have the budget go for higher quality accomodations because the lodges in Kenya are amazing. I would highly recommend this trip to anybody, it was well organized and you can see lot of animals like in the Lion King movie (we saw so many elephants, zebras, cheetas, baby lions, wildbeasts, buffalos, ect.) in beautiful Kenya

Overall good
The reason why I choose Karibu In Kenya Safaris was, because Robert answered all my questions immediately. The trip was amazing, but there were some things I didn't like.
You have to make the full payment on the street in Nairobi before departure without getting a receipt. Our bus wasn't in a good condition and broke down two times during our trip, but our driver drove very carefully and fixed all problems. On our first day we missed 1 hour gamedrive, because of the delay fixing the car. Sometimes we were 8 people in the Van which wasn't comfortable during Game drives. Water was only provided on the first day and one small bottle on the last day.
On our last day we missed the bike ride in the Hellsgate-Nationalpark, which was originally on my itinerary. Our driver said, No there is no bike ride, only a Hike. And for the Hike we had to pay a fee of 5 Dollar per Person for the Guide, this was the next surprise.
But overall I have to say this tour was very good, measured by the low price I paid. I can recommend the Tour.
The accommodation were ok and the food was good but twice, I didn't stay in the Hotels which Robert named in advance.

Amazing experience
We make a travel with Gatatu Safaris. Good price and good driver. You can't forget the gorila trekking.
The only problem we couldn't see the lion tree becsise it's very difficult. We could see a lot of elephant, hipos, etc....
We recomend to visit Uganda. Also we recomend Gatatu Safaris

The trip was well organised, the overnight stays exceeded our expectations.
Communications were rapid and coherent. Expertise of advisor useful and valuable. All the information provided was clear and precise with the electronic information particularly good.

A trip to remember!
Lets start off with the positives...
Communication went really went, I also received a reply on the day. Which was great.
Our guide and driver Abraham was fantastic!!! He was really friendly and made our safari something we will never ever forget! Thanks Abraham!! We saw and learnt so much from him!
There are some negatives however,
After receiving the quote and saying yes, we were told that there was a mistake in the price.
One of the places we chose to stay was further away, of which we were unaware of. Uhuru did not know of this either and we therefore had to pay 100 Dollars extra for our transfer. We found this out on the day we arrived. This is something I think could have been avoided if researched prior to our arrival or maybe when making up the itinerary.
Some of the paperwork had not been done timeously so we missed a few hours on 2 days due to waits at the gate waiting for paperwork to be submitted.
Despite the negatives, this was a trip of lifetime and something we will cherish forever. The positives definitely outweigh the negatives but if Uhuru could improve on those small things it will only benefit them. It was definitely a trip we could not have done on our own!
Thanks Uhuru and most of all Abraham for the most amazing trip!

Properly organized safari, unforgettable experience !
4 DAYS LOW BUDGET SAFARI IN SERENGETI, NGORONGORO & TARANGIRE - solo traveller.
Based in Kenya and having a representative in Arusha, “Trip Advisor Africa Safaris” has extensive experience in Tanzanian parks and safaris. Vincent Seth, its director, is very friendly, responding always willingly to all e-mails and questions.
As usually, you end up in a car of a different agency but that’s not important...
The poor conditions of the campsite in Serengeti, the risk to sleep with a stranger in a small tent - which didn’t happen with difficulty - and my window of the vehicle which didn’t open - but we had an open car roof - they were nothing compared to the greatness of the 3 parks!
The price was affordable, time was always respected, the 6 pax group was fine, the driver and the cook were nicely professional, we were always busy and active, the number and diversity of animals were amazing, the weather perfect... I am happy! I could use their services again.
