No 1 Safari Drvier Guide
My driver guide was Vincent, I could still remember his name after years because it didn't feel like he was my guide but more like a very close friend. We talked about everything and he knew where to go to find the animals and timing for take good pictures. I brought home more than just photos, but loads of memories and new knowledge. Thank you Vincent.

Plentiful Picnic’s on Mount Kenya
Mount Kenya is a legendary location, the flora and fauna of which varies greatly.
Whilst some try and rush the experience into a weekend, our hike took place over five days and it’s route (Chogoria Banda’s, Lake Ellis, Lake Michaelson, Simba Tarn, Point Lenana, Shipton Camp, Old Moses Camp) enabled us to really enjoy the experience and savour the sights of such an epic adventure.
I should also add that this route is better for acclimatising to the altitude, making a successful summit more likely and gives you some fantastic views along the way, the lunch stop on day two looking over Lake Michaelson sticks in my mind in particular as a fantastic sight (as does that first cuppa tea at Shipton, so restorative and refreshing after the early morning ascent; talk about a brew with a view).
Dickson and his team were quite simply the best; the porters were cheery no matter the weight they carried, the food was fantastic and fuelled us well (as a vegetarian my dietary needs were accommodated and understood fully and flavour-ably; honestly we all commented how tasty it was, there certainly was plentiful picnics on Mount Kenya for us unlike the hardships experienced in No Picnic on Mount Kenya), the guides are knowledgeable and extremely supportive and patient; on the ascent to Lenana I was somewhat nervous and fatigued but with their help and guidance I was able to reach the Lenana Ridge and enjoy that spectacular sunrise which is a sight I will never forget.
I am so grateful to Dickson and Co for their company and support, our expedition was a success solely thanks to their efforts and it was a joy to be in their presence for such a journey and to make so many memories on that mountain.
I would highly recommend that you select their services to support you on your African adventures, you will not regret it.

It was just great. What a magnificant Safari it was.
We had just a perfect organised Safari. Bartho was very reliable about fixed appointments. We could not have a better service. All our expectation came true.
The Safari: Malisa was the best safari guide we ever experienced. Dula was a exellent cook, we had everiday 3 hot meals freshly made by Dula. People from other safaricompanies where jealous about our meals.
Malisa is the best guide because he took time for us to watch the animals, he explaned the habit of the animal we where watching at.
He took our handy and made fotos or videos while we where making pictures with the camera. Our group was very relaxed and so we had a good time together.
Malisa asked us for our wishes and he let us the time we wanted, there was never a moment that we had to hassel.
Many many thanks at all of you for this never forgettable safari.

An Most Excellent Adventure
We had an excellent experience with Karibu from the moment we contacted them to inquire about a tour. Communication was clear and prompt.
We booked an overnight trip to Maasai Mara National Game Reserve. We were picked up promptly from our AirBnB. The driver who picked us up was friendly and got us to the Karibu office safely. We were then greeted and briefed by Lillian, who was warm and friendly.
James, our driver and guide on the tour was awesome. He answered any questions we had, and was very knowledgeable about the park and the game that we saw. We were so lucky to view zebras, giraffes, elephants, hippos, countless antelope and buffalo. The highlight was the pride of lions we were fortunate to observe. An unforgettable experience. James got us a close to the action as possible!
The camp that we stayed in was lovely and comfortable.
We would definitely use Karibu again. The value is excellent!

Very good safari experience
The guide Simba is truly amazing - very knowledgeable and posesses great driving skills essential to do game drives. Bryson, the owner, is also amazing in communication and organization - he is also very kind and willing to do everything for you (i.e. organize extra activities, COVID tests, etc.). The car was fairly good, although a bit underequipped - we didn't have a shovel and the lift jack was not good - this created tension when we were stuck once. The food in lodges was amazing, but the field lunches sometimes were not fresh enough (especially fish and chicken).

Amazing experience and service
Communication by email with Justice Justine was excellent. He made all the arrangements, and our guide Lorde met us at the airport and looked after us the whole time. Lorde made sure to meet all our expectations plus so much more. The trip was so thrilling and smooth that it seemed like a dream. I wanted to see calving season in Feb, which we saw to great advantage. I recommend this company most highly and hope to travel with them again.
