Awesome
we landed in Nairobi first time and without travel arrangements in Jan 2019. In the morning we just walk in the Karibu Safaris in Kenya Office and bough a four-days safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuro. The safari was as advertised by Robert; a vehicle, game drives, two nights at a tented camp etc. and a two-star hotel in Nakuro, which even exceeded our expectations. We saw the Big Five and even a black rhino. A lot of thanks belong to good drivers Collins and James. Overall, our trip was excellent and good value for money.

Departure from Nairobi to Amboséli.
Dan and Maryan came to pick me up in Nairobi where I was staying for vacations and drove me to Amboséli, where we did the safari. I really enjoyed talking with both of them and had a great time, and would like to thank them again for their kindness and professionalism.

7 days safari with Karibu Safaris was exelent experience.
Fist day I had different driver than the other days. For six days our group driver and guide was Arony and I have only god things to tell about him. He was very friendly, smiling, had god humor and spoke very good english (also other languages if needed). He was largely responsible for the good mood of the group in car. He was also caring, reliable, clear and he had a good human expert. So he managed to get everyone to understand his case. Also he took great care of people's wishes. Arony is good driver.
My main goal in the safari was hippos. In 7 days safari I had a chance to see hippos in 5 days. Everything else was extra. Our group got to see big five (buffalo, lion, elephant, leopard and rhino). Our group was very lucky, because we saw for example leopard, jackal, at least 11 lions, big group of elephants and clear Kilimanjaro for two days. We saw a lot of different African animals, even mongoose what I hoped in one point. However seeing the animals is not certain because wild life is not a zoo.
Our driver, Arony knew a lot about animals and he told us about them. We got a lot of imformation from Kenya and masai people too. I was mostly impressed how much he cared about the customers well-being and safety. Arony made a lot of effort to ensure people's safety even after Safari. No tour operator has done so in the past, and this was not my first tour.
I'm not a princess or look for luxury, so I was very happy about lodging and food. We spent a lot of time in the car, but it's perfectly understandable when we were in different National parks and we ate reguralry.
Everyone should understand that there is wild animals, so you have to keep some distance to them. Because of that I had camera with long objective and binoculars with me. That way I got lot of great close pictures from animals. But if you have only phone camera, you have to accept that you don't get close pictures from every animal you see.
Safari with Karibu Safaris was excellent. Now I'm thinking to go back to Kenia one day.

Wonderfull and perfect guided 4 day safari (Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara)
We were Lucky to have a very well experienced, very good english speaking and very friendly driver and guide Collins! Thanks to him, his knowledge and very safe driving skills, we had a wonderfull and exciting safari tour, having seen a lot of wildlife, the big 5 and many many other animals. The hotel at Lake Nakuru and the campsite next to Maasai Mara were very convenient.

Danson was outstanding, had a world of information about the animals, & made us feel so special.
Danson was an excellent guide, always telling us information about the animals we encountered and allowed us to stay put and just watch them interact among their group. Danson had meals with us on several occasions, and other guests came and asked us if they could join us as we were having so much fun. He helped other guides who were having difficulties - changed a flat tire and pushed a vehicle stuck on a rock. He went out of his way to find animals so that we could enjoy them by ourselves, as I really wanted to experience a one on one with a pride of lions. It was fantastic to see them interact so close up. Safari drives morning and night gave us a wide variety of animals to watch. The tent camps were clean and had good bathroom facilities. The food was very good and bottled water always available. One day the drive between camps was very long, but we did get "drop coffee" breaks and stretches along the way. Danson always told us stories about the areas we were passing through, even going to a Masai village to see how the local people live. The balloon ride over Masai Mara was incredible, and to have a herd of wildebeests stampede around our vehicle was over the top. I recommend Karibu Safari to anyone and highly recommend Danson.

It was the best experience
The service was perfected starting from the picking point to the comfort of the bus. We had an awesome buffet lunch. We enjoyed the rest of the trip and returned safely. Thank you karibu safaris.
