Memorable Safari with Castro- Thumbs up
Friends
I had no idea of how I should go about it until I was referred by a friend who had done the safari with Karibu safaris kenya. We were a group of five people and we decided to do 3 days maasai mara and 2 days Nakuru National park. Since it was a group safari Robert gave us friendly prices which was our expectation to be honest..haha. We met Robert when they came to pick us at out hotel in Nairobi with Casro being our guide. This happened really fast and within 20 min we were all packed and off to Maasai Mara with Castro. We had an opportunity to take photos at the great rift valley which was our first stop. Maasai Mara is far from nairobi so travelling as a group make it more enjoyable. also, our second stop was for luch...sorry I cant remember the place but it was nice because of the food and even the services were exemplary. Ohhh..."forgive me" for this one...The road towards maasai mara after the some point was rough considering that it is a rural area but I consider a great experience since I had not done it before. We got to maasai mara at 3 pm and we were assigned our rooms by the welcoming staffs (thanks to Samuel & Joseph) after getting coffee. we were ready by 4.30 and Castro was there to pic us again for the evening game drive. Yeeeeeey...I had been waiting for this..The process at the gate was fast since there were not many cars waiting and in a few minutes were got into the park. The first day was great and we were able to spot lions ( just one of the big five to say) and other few animals since the game drive was brief on that day. we had to go back to to the camp at 6.30 and later dinner. The following day was great since Castro stated that it was a full day game drive and we had to carry packed lunch. we had the opportunity to spot all the big five expect for the Rhino . I really appreciate how Castro and his friends communicated when they saw the animals. this helped us to see many animals unlike other groups in the park. besides, the mara river was great with crocodiles. However, by the time we were travelling there was no wildbeast migration - we felt sad and my friend Sandra thought one could maybe cross on its own. The afternoon game drive was easy as we went back to the camp. It was such a great day. Thank you Castro
The last day at mara we decided to visit the maasai village for cultural dances and learning about their culture. We later left for Nakuru and arrived at 4 pm foe evening game drive. I enjoyed the serene environment with plenty of Flamingos....wait wait...I had not seen a Rhino at Maasai mara... Now this was the home of Rhinos. I saw close to 10 rhinos at a close range. also, we decided to book Nakuru Lodge which is one of the best places you can choose to be. the following day we did an early morning game drive until 11.30 and left for Nairobi.
This was such a memorable experience. Thanks to all the staffs that facilitated and made our experience better. Robert, Castro our guide, Samuel and joseph at mara Camp and not forgetting those at nakuru, you did a commendable job.
I would recomend karibu Safaris when you 're planning yours.

Safari of a life time
It was fantastic – it was the best thing we’ve done. Really enjoyed every second of it and all went smoothly. We especially appreciated Mara River Camp – couldn’t have asked for a better setting or friendlier staff – we were upset to leave!! Kamau our driver was lovely too – made us feel informed and safe and was clearly very knowledgeable and caring toward the wildlife. He went out of his way to cleverly get us into fantastic viewing spots. We even managed to see a little of the migration! We honestly don’t have any negative feedback to give you and thanks again for organising it all. We are really hoping to come through you for our next Kenya safari (after we have time to save up).

Absolutely incredible
We were a group of 4 doing a two weeks safari in Kenya visiting different national parks and with an extension to Uganda to see gorillas and chimpanzees. The trip was absolutely personalized for us, the price was unbeatable and the personnel (Mr. Wilson as well as the drivers Chance and Pieter) were very nice people always ready to make the trip amazing and easy for us.
I found several agencies offering safari trips but Mr. Wilson was the person who generated more confidence to me and he did not disappointed. After the first conversation with him, it was clear that he is an honest person, one of the most important things when you are scheduling this kind of trip. The whole trip was without extra costs and all the things scheduled were complied. Lodges and hotels where we stayed were amazing. All of them with probably the most comfortable beds where I have slept during a trip and with buffet style for eating. Vehicles used to do the safaris and to move from a park to another one were private so we could choose the rhythm (we could decide if we wanted to be more or less time watching something or if preferred to go to another location of the park). In addition, the guide’s skill to search animals and to place the car really close to the animals was unbelievable.
I recommend Maasai Mara Train without doubt. This was a dreamed trip with high expectations and it exceeded them. I only can thank to Mr Wilson to make it possible.

Ozzie is the most knowledgeable, friendly, patient, helpful guide who made our trip unforgettable.
Lion King Adventures was the most accommodating and communicative tour we experienced. They absolutely delivered from the sightings promised to the quality of accommodations advertised and everything in between. Our guide, Ozzie, knew the parks like the back of his hand and never failed to get us to a sighting. On top of that, he was the most friendly and generous person to show us the beautiful backdrops of Tanzania. We felt like we made a new friend after our tour and certainly recommend the experience to anyone looking for the perfect Safari trip.

Looking for an agent to climb Kilimanjaro? Below is the answer
We did Safari and climbed Kilimanjaro via Machame route/7 days with Barafu tours. It was an amazing experience with the team, they are really professional...all of them. The porters were incredible, too much energy and we had a lot of fun with them. The guides were awesome they have too many info to share. We ate lots of great food thanks to the cook. Also we experienced an amazing full day of Safari at Tarangire park and we see the big animals. Thank you Barafu team for the non forgotten experience!

Great Safari experience
Kibera Holiday Safaris with Peter was nice. He is a very organized guy and makes sure things work the way its meant to. He goes the extra mile (literally) to help you get the best sightseeing experience in the Safari. Overall, he was very accommodating: from the initial booking to the very end of our safari tour. I recommend him as a professional tour guide.

Best thing I’ve ever done thanks to the guides Bonnie and Ray
Mara Triangle provided one of the best trips I have ever done. The guides Ray and Bonnie with 40+ years experience between them provided a fun, enjoyable experience whilst teaching us so much about their countries and the animals. They always got us in the best spot using their experience to know where the animals are or will be. The accomodation was really great and we could tailor our package with ease. The food was amazing mixture of African, Indian and western. From dealing with the manager Lucy to the guides it has been an absolute pleasure and I cannot recommend Mara Triangle enough. They are an African owned company that are professional and gave us an experience I will never forget 10/10.

Smooth trip to beautiful Kenya
Me and my wife had a really lovely trip with our excellent driver guide Lawrence (Lawience). We visited Amboseli, Naivasha and the whole of Masai Mara. It was well organised and Lawrence was a very nice person to make the trip very smooth and comfortable for us. Ilias as the point of contact from start to finish was also very good. Overall I would recommend others. Thank you.
