Great experience for the price
Karibou Safaris provided a great experience overall, especially considering the price - $630 US for a six day trip including Masai Mara (excellent), Lake Nakuru (much better than expected), and Amboseli (very good). Emails were very responsive and answered all questions. Service was overall very good. Our driver Peter did an excellent job explaining the plan for the day and ensuring we got the most out of our safari. We were fortunate to see so many animals, including the “big 5”. Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru I consider “must see” parks. Amboseli is also interesting primarily to see lots of elephants with Kilimanjaro in the back ground, though there are other animals to see there too. Our vehicle was a 2WD Toyota van with pop up roof. Adequate but needed towing twice in the worst muddy spots. 4WD would be better. Lots of driving but there are good things to see even on pure travel days like the optional Masai village and Lake Naivasha. Lunches on the road were good from roadside restaurants. Food and accommodations were slightly better in Masai Mara (Manyatta camp) than Amboseli (Kimana cottages). City max hotel is fine in Nakuru. Sack lunches on safari were fine. We did not always get bottled water provided as indicated, but we did purchase some. Overall the trip exceeded our expectations and I would recommend this trip for those on a budget.

Best tour company ever!
This is our second time using Lights in Africa and we are again very impressed with the service. The administration side is easy to book and has great communication. The vehicles are safe and sturdy with no breakdowns. The two drivers we've had have both been very informative, funny and have taken great care of us. I would definitely recommend this company and we will use them again.

wonderful safari firm
we appreciate the service you offer us during the time we came to Kenya. we can say that your services were above our imagination. Vincent was good planner and could offer us a package that was friendly and enjoyable.The van was in good condition and the driver was having good driving skill and was knowledgeable of the park. We will love to do another safari with you.

Not great info
We booked through this company without realising same trip half the price through company in Cape Town . The driver was ok but obviously ready to retire as seemed bored , Jeep very old and we had paid top dollar so expected excellent Jeep but not the case . We were told to buy all our equipment so after spending over a thousand dollars each discovered the lodge supplied everything for gorilla trekking and all info about that was not great . Our lodges were great and food and service but will not use this company again . Absolutely no follow up on return which speaks volumes

Absolutely awesome and should be on everyone's bucket list
I cannot fault Leopard Tours. The drivers are extremely knowledgeable and kept us informed, answering our questions and explaining wherever necessary. The service they gave us was attentive and caring seeing that we were seniors. The whole experience was beyond my expectations and as I stated before it should be on everyone's bucket list. It was a truly magical and awesome safari. Thank you for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime special.

Trust the Professionals!
We have always preferred to be independent travellers in the 20 years of our retirement.
But when I began to second guess myself on a safari leg of a trip to Africa I turned to Chris and he put us back on track.
He prepared a customized 10 day trip tp Victoria Falls, then Samburu and Maasi Mara in
Kenya.
Everything went without a hitch; the flights, transfers, accommodations and guided drives.
Everything was taken care of, including hotel & lodge check in.
Yet there was ample flexibility built in for us to remain in control.
His choice of accommodations and camps for us was superb. We were spoiled, and loved it!
It paid off to turn to a professional for guidance, in many ways such as knowing which visas to apply for or where the rainy season might affect game viewing.
Safaris are an expensive proposition. We have just finished ours knowing that it was money well spent on a once in a lifetime event to be treasured.

Real beauty of Nature
First of all would like to thank to the Bujo Tours team for organizing our amazing 2 days trip to Tarangire and Ngorongoro.
All details have been solved through email communication with very quick responces and also reasonable suggestions as me and my husband were travelling with our 2 small kids and two elderly couples.
We were lucky to get a very good and sympathetic guide Luis - thank you and sending many greetings from all of our family! Luis was a very good choice for us as having children himslef, he handled well all situations. Also he is a very good driver, we felt very safe with him.
First night accomodation in Rich hotel Arusha was nice and comfy, accomodation for our second night in Migombani Camp was very nice, can recommend to everyone, shame we had so short time to enjoy the facilities. Very nice breakfast btw!!
We only had to handle some mistake in booking as we were ordering 3 units, but there was only 1 tent and 1 lodge ready for us (and the camp was fully booked) :-(
The first lunch box from Arusha from some local canteen was just ok (fried and greasy), second one from Migombani was a bit better. Anyway we don´t mind that as we were there for experience, not food :-)
Well both Tarangire and Ngorongoro were amazing trips, have seen so many animals (although not all we could have), beautiful nature, sunshine and also some rain. Animals walking just by our car, have had time enough to enjoy the miracle of being so close. Just love it! And imagine the thrill and emotions of our kids :-)

it was a once in a liftime experience absolutely supererb
omar, our guide was absolutely high qualificated. we have seen the big five.
Although we booked the 5 days trip, the schedule was too packed. We did Ngoro Ngoro and Serengeti in one day.
That was the only negative point on a nice journey. however this safari and the agency is highly recommended.
