The wildlife was magnificent, exciting to see the animals so close up
The safari worked so well as all the arrangements are in place so accommodation ,food transport were fine . Some of the tracks were rough but that is Kenya!The guide was an excellent spotter & pointed out the animals well before we saw them & also explained about their social way of living. The highlights were the elephant groups & their interaction.

A good value for money ratio, nothing more
We did a marathon game drive (not as planned) a full day instead of splitting on two days (as planned) with an early morning game drive the second one, which would have been less exhausting, less haste and hence more enjoyable (and also, I suspect the objective of the agency was to save the entrance fee just for one morning; the entrance fee is valid 24 hours)
Although it is written down in black and white, the programme is "flexible", which has both advantages and disadvantages.

At the end we took a bus with a company (Tahmed) partner of the agency: very bad experience: the staffmember on board (not the driver) was very rude after I said I didn't need a taxi at the arrival, and kept looking at my daughter (23) as if she was a piece of meat! Very unpleasant!
Otherwise, it's pretty well organised, the staff on the camp sites are really sweet and quick to react to meet your needs.

Great safari experience
The van we used was a bit run down, but the seats were comfortable. We were 6 people in the van in Masai Mara, plus the driver Aron. Thereafter we were 4 in the van, plus Aron. The roads are dusty and bumpy in many places, but Aron made us feel safe and well taken care off by him. Arony seemed

to be a very experienced driver and he had much knowledge about the animals we saw, In Masai Mara we were very lucky and saw the big 5. Aron ensured that we got the best out of the game drives. We had plenty of time to take pictures. Aron was driving us as close to the animals as possible, and at the same time respecting them and their space. The wildlife in Masai Mara and Amboseli was amazing.The only negative part was that the agency could not take us to Nakuru right after Masai Mara, as planned. They said that the reason was because of our flight delay and that they had to reschedule it this way. After Masai Mara we went to Amboseli. Karibu safari offered us to go to Nakuru afterwards or bring us back to Nairobi. The trip from Amboseli to Nakuru involves several more hours of driving than from Masai Mara, and we decided not to go there after all. Because of this, Karibu Safari gave us some money back. Allthough we were a bit disappointed, we appreciated the deal, and it seemed fair.
In Amboseli we stayed in tented camps where we had our own room with private bathroom. The standard is budget, but the camps in Masai Mara and Amboseli were okey. They served buffet for breakfast and dinner, and we were able to charge our cameras and phones. All in all; we had a great safari experience and will highly recommend Karibu Safari. Make sure you ask for Aron as a driver :)

Amazing. But the boat trip mentioned in the trip itenerary is COMPLETELY WRONG! You have to pay!
Amazing country and a perfect budget travel in Africa to see wildlife.

Production in a Safari
We arranged our trip with BackofAfrica Adventure, in general all of the agreements were accomplished and the attention of Allan was impecable. We learn not every people of Kenya are as honest as he was with us with their work.
We do not have anything more to say than it was an extreme and amazing experience to get to know all the landscapes, animals and people from the Masai tribe. We had every support from the company to make a photography and film production on the parks.

It was unforgettable!
We went to kenya in December. Alot of people said it was the off season however we saw amazing wildlife and the weather was gorgeous. Accommodations were great however our experience at the mpata safari club was not great. Our guide Daniel was great!

Great trip. Experienced guide. Simple food. Scenic beauty. Perfect combination.
Since our guide was experienced and enthusiastic about showing us all the animals, he went the extra mile to do so. He succeeded and made us fall in love with wildlife.
The food was simple. Less oily. Less spicy. We ended up losing weight

Best Family Vacation Ever
Eight members of my family traveled to Kenya this year to visit Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. The wildlife was breath taking. KETS travel did a great job of making all the arrangements. We faced no hassle during the stay and travel.
The vehicle which was provided was great. We also did a hot air balloon ride, which was a slight disappointment as we did not get any sighting while we were up in the air.
Your your guide was Patrick. He was very knowledgeable .
Overall it was the best family vacation we had.
