The service is good and the price is reasonable.
Our guide Raymond is great. I took a lot pics about animals, including the big five. The iternary is well designed. For me, the two days in masaai mara and the half day at Hell's gate national reserve are unforgettable. Highly recommend the mountain bike riding at Hell's gate, it's awsome!

Efficient, dedicated and most competent staff, with a first class driver
Excellent communication with the tour operator, who replied to all our questions quickly, even during weekends and evenings. We did a three days Masai Mara safari and saw all the big five, even a rhino, because our driver Edward communicated efficiently with other drivers and rangers and was able to locate all animals. Although most of the roads were muddy and under water, unlike many other 4x4 vehicles, we never got stuck in the mud or got in any trouble. Edward is a first class driver, we felt safe all the time. He was also attentive to all our needs with discretion and good will. Best value for money. We will use the services of this operator again

Pleasurable experience, almost all of wildlife seen
We had an excellent experience visiting Masai Maara, Nakuru and lake Naiwashi parks. Already on the first evening we saw most of Kenya's famous wildlife and even two lion cubs as a wonderful bonus. I would like to give special credit to our driver Mark for his incredible driving skills, knowledge of the hidden tracks and always been ready to help. We were on the trip with 2 kids and the driver was always very attentive and flexible when offering the departure times.

Excellent planning and a memorable experience
Our guide Kevin was phenominal and went above and beyond in helping us seeing big 5 and ugly 5. Not only this, his punctuality and planning skills are remarkable.
On a side note, just by making a phone call, he knows where a Cheetah is relaxing, pride of lion is sleeping and a leopard is hiding :)
Would highly recommend to have Kevin as a guide!

AWESOME EXPERIENCE
Everything was great, from the guides (Edward and Castro) to the accommodations and the safari.
We did a 6 days safari (Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli) and we would repeat with them.

Great value for money, knowledgeable guides!
We booked a last minute safari from Mombasa to Nairobi. Our drivers (Marc and Steve) drove all night to pick us up: amazing!
The safari was great. Both Marc and Steve were very knowledgeable and very able to answer any questions about wildlife. Marc had a lot of contacts and therefore we saw cheetahs, lots of lions, elephants and the rest of Big5 + plenty others.
We booked a 'mid-range' safari, and therefore accommodation was OK and food was not very creative. That is as one can expect i suppose.
Thanks Marc and Steve. Good luck in the rest of your careers as safari guides!

Great safari, great & well connected guide
Did the 8 day safari, we had both Mark and Steven as driver/guide. Great guys, they know their plenty about the animals and were also willing to tell us about other things.
They took plenty of time waiting for us to take some pictures and just enjoying the wildlife. Mark went above and beyond to get to all the (special) animals and was well connected with the other guides. Both him and Steven were trying to take the transit-drives as short and fastt as possible, while still driving safely.
We had a great week, with some very nice accommodations.

Wonderful Safari
My wife and I had a wonderful trip to Kenya. We booked a tour to Karibu Safaris and it was the right decision. Perhaps the car was not new and the accommodation was less expensive, but the emotions from the safari were unique. Driver Raymond easily found the animals and was one of the first on the spot. The manager was in touch constantly and answered all questions.

Great Safari experience! Would recommend
I booked this safari online. My guide was Edward who was very friendly and knowledgeable. He drove us to Lake Nakuru and to Maasai Mara - the safaris were greatly enjoyable and Edward knew a lot of the good spots to see all the big 5. He also knew the animals we saw and we could ask him about Kenya. I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend! Good value for money

Wouldn’t change a thing!
We booked onto the 3 day budget Nairobi - Masai Mara safari, and our guide was Sami. Everything was thought of, our accommodation was comfortable and the food was lovely. Sami was knowledgeable, patient and a pleasure to spend time with. He took our individual requests into account and maximised our time in the park to see as much as possible. I would 100% recommend booking with Karibu Safaris and Sami.
