Collins is a kind, professional and experienced guide who made our trip to Kenya unforgettable.
My boyfriend and I have the most amazing 3 days on our safari. Our guide Collins made our trip a holiday we will never forget. From the first day our flight was delayed and Collins made sure we got some time in the safari park before it closed. His experience and knowledge of the parks and different species didn't go unnoticed and we left feeling like we experienced everything the parks offered. The service was top class and we will definitely be recommending our guide Collins and Karibu Safari to any of our friends who wish to explore Kenya. Thank you!

Excellent value for money
We travelled as a large group over 2 vehicles. Castro and Maurice were both professional and accommodating towards our requests and confidently answered every question we had about the parks and the animals. They were both very friendly and personable towards our group. The entire trip was well organised and despite being delayed on arrival, our guides ensured that we completed everything on the itinerary and more. Their ability to find animals was very good and the information shared with us was informative. Many thanks to Castro and Maurice’s efforts for making it an unforgettable trip.

Amazing safari experience with top service
We were extremely happy with this safari tour!! Definitely worth the money (and also one of the cheapest we could find). Everything was great - we stayed in a tent camp with some really welcoming locals. The tent was pretty big and comfortable, with a double bed and a private bathroom (incl. hot water).
Although our safari van broke down as soon as we arrived at masai mara, the team was very fast at finding a solution - in the end, we got a free upgrade to a nicer (more expensive) 4x4 :))
Overall, everything was very smooth and we have nothing negative to say. You can rest assured that the tour team will make their best to give you the best experience and to make you happy!

Roonie was very helpful. He knew all the best spots to see animals like leopard, rhino, cheetah, etc
We went in group of 6. Got the jeep car directly from our place in Nairobi to a camp next to the Masai Mara Park entrance. The accomodation and meals were better than I expected from Kenyan to be. Overall we all enjoyed so much.

What an epic 3-day safari tour with budget tented camp!
Highly recommend Karibu Safaris as Collins (our guide/driver) is top-notch -having lots of knowledge, communication skills, and driving skills.
A group of seven had an incredible time seeing lots of wildlife: 4 out of Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo), giraffe, cheetah, wildebeest, topi, zebra, impala, gazelle, hippos and many more even not in the high season at the end of November.
We love Masai Mara, Kenya, and the people. Asante sana!

Give you an unforgettable tour of a lifetime
If you are looking for a safari tour, Karibu Safaris is recommended. Mr. Castro who was our tour operator was very entertaining. They spent hours trying to show us as many rare moments of animals as possible. And the driving technique was excellent, showing the animal at the closest and best point of any car. Thank you Castro. The inn run by the Maasai tribe was also very enjoyable. The tent was comfortable and the conversation with the Maasai tribe was very humorous and fun. It was the most memorable and fun tour of my life.

Efficient
Pros: Overall great experience. Saw all the animals on the bucket list. Our guide was great about following any leads from other drivers to make sure we saw the big 5 and more. He was responsive to when we wanted to stop and was genuinely friendly and kind.
Cons: You are on a trip with multiple people on different itineraries, so there is some extra travel between safaris and differing accommodations, which takes up some extra travel time. Also because of this, there is some group decisions that need to be made that may compromise what you want to do. We were also never offered the boat trip the at was supposedly available on my itinerary because others had it scheduled on a different day, which was frustrating. Additionally, this trip is in a van vs jeep/Range Rover so there are limits as to speed and locations where you can drive. It did not seem to affect the total animals we saw but luck may have been on our side.
Overall the trip was awesome, but if you want full control of your itinerary, there may be better options.

Flawless experience, knowledgeable guide
We had an awesome time in our safari experience. Aroni our guide was knowledgeable, smart, easygoing and helped us get the full Masai Mara experience. We really really enjoyed and we most definitely recommend Karibu and especially Aroni and try to visit again in the future!
