Amazing!
5/5

I am very excited to write this review. Karibu Safaris in Kenya offered us the cheapest option amongst 5 companies I have asked. For a reasonable price, we were able to experience the full safari excitement that we are looking for. Robert is an excellent guide with amazing driving skills. The road was difficult but Robert’s skills kept us safe all throughout our 4days journey. He did made it sure that we will see the big 5. Cool and very patient guide. To be honest, it was daunting to book a tour online but this company exceeded my expectation.

Great experience, great sights, great lodging
5/5

Took a 5 day safari from Arusha to Tarangire/Serengeti/Ngorongoro with my adult daughter and the overall experience was outstanding. The combination of destinations, game drives, and lodging was just great. I did quite a bit of research on various 5 day safari options and this company seemed like the best option. I liked that they were a local company and were very responsive to my enquiries. The original plan was to go to Lake Manyara, but they called me at the last minute and switched the first day to be Tarangire because of wildlife availability when we arrived. I think that was a good decision as we got to see quite a few elephants and other wildlife in Tarangire. We spent two nights at Ngorongoro Farm House and two at Kubu Kubu Tented Camp in Serengeti. I can't say enough about both lodges, they were both just outstanding and extremely friendly. The grounds at the Ngorongoro Farm House were particularly beautiful. Our guide Jason was very professional and did a great job finding some amazing viewing sites (even he took pictures!). Overall, I can't say enough about safari. This was my second (went to Kruger NP before) and it was just as amazing as the first one. A "once" in a lifetime experience, the second time around. Definitely recommend it to everyone.

Safari in Tanzania with SoT
5/5

10 of us went to Tanzania. While the country and the people are amazing, our safari experience was made
so much better thanks to Soul of Tanzania. This is a great set up - very organised, very hospitable and very knowledgeable.
We did Kili, Ngorongoro,Serengeti and Zanzibar. It was magical thanks to SoT.

Exciting game drive in beautiful Mikumi national park
4/5

Family of 4 went on å tre day trip, we slept inside the park. Communications and service was exellent. We were well taken care of from the first contact and during the hole trip. The food was simple but good and we got to see a lot of animals like lion, giraffe , elephant m.m . Our guide had great skills and we felt safe and learned a lot. We will like to come back another time and do it again !

Overall rating
5/5

We can recommend the safari, it was really amazing how close you get the animals, we saw leopards and lions mating and cheetah with pubbies etc. Easily saw a lot of animals and of course Big Five. We had the budget safari sleeping in tents and the own cook with us, it very nice and all the personnel were very nice. We have visited many other national parks, but still amazed how close you can get the animals in Tanzania. We are already planning the new trip. We also visited Zanzibar, lovely beaches. Next time Kilimanjaro, safari and the beaches again. We just loved it!

Was tremendous experience, accomodation and safari in General.
5/5

Immediately we arrived in Kenya we were constantly in communication with Dickson.He kept his promise whenever he talked to our contact person.
We were picked up in Mai mahiu transit point,while waiting we were given breakfast,Dickson catered for all this.
Our driver/tourguide he was a patient and funny guy.He was straightforward in his communication. Because of climate change my partner got sick,our tourguide made all the necessary arrangements that we wont miss anything,he organised that we went to maasai village.
During safari our tourguide drove us nearly everywhere so that we could be able to see the big five.We got the chance to experience wildebeests crossing over,nice experience.
I will recommend this company to everyone. Thank you Dickson!

Great Safari but Problematic Management
2/5

The safari, in and of itself, was great. Our accommodations were good, our driver/guide George was fantastic, and the parks were unbelievable. The only negative about the safari itself was there was too much driving -- no matter what company you use you should confirm driving times before signing up.

My gripe is with how our safari was managed:

1 -- The order of parks that we visited was switched last minute and without my approval. I found this out after I sat down in the jeep on the first day. This is totally unacceptable. James and I even discussed this option months before and decided against it. This is bordering on breach of contract.

2 -- James's communication left something to be desired. At first, James was super prompt, always responding within a day. As we closed in on the trip, he took multiple days to reply to different questions, and when I asked the name of our driver he didn't bother replying. This all left me sketched out and worried that we were being scammed.

There's too many safari operators out there to bother with a company like this one...

Excellent service.
5/5

We visit Kenya every year to run free dental clinics (we also gave out reading glasses this year). We had arranged for James to provide transport from Nairobi to Elburgan (40 minutes from Nakuru). He arrived early and the trip was safe & comfortable. James was helpful and polite and his English was excellent. He also organised a 3 day trip to the Massia Mara. The guide/driver David was excellent, the whole trip amazing and the stay at Ashnil tented camp superb ( it was a canvas bungalow, with 4 poster bed, a lovely en-suite, electricity, excellent restaurant and the staff were superb. Sat in the evenings around the lovely wood fire pit watching the hippos in the river).

Would thoroughly recommend both James and the safari trip.
