Best Experience
We went on a 4 day/3 night tour to the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Although it was the rainy season, we were able to see all of the animals known as the Big Five. The highlight was a fight between a lion and a buffalo. Thanks to our instructor, Mr. Collins, for a great experience!

Thanks Colines!
We went to safari during the rainy season and we expected that we can’t see so many animals but thanks to our nice driver Colins we could see so many animals and we're so satisfied.

Incredible experience with the best guide Eduard
We went on 7 days Safari and we were so lucky to have Eduard, whose encyclopedic knowledge not only about the animals, but also about the history and culture, really enriched our experience! He always managed to show us all the animals, but in a beautiful and respectful way! We had no problem with the communication with the company and the amount of money we paid was completely appropriate for the amazing week!

The Elephant Man
We did a 2 day safari with Kevin in Amboseli National Park. Kevin was an excellent driver and guide. A little shy at first but this soon wears off and you get to know Kevin really well. He made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. He knew exactly where the elephants in the park were and what time they and where they would cross. Made for a magical experience watching herd after herd of elephants crossing. Would highly recommend Kevin as a guide.

It was an adventure!
Raymond was amazing. He was our tour guide and driver and we had an amazing time because of him. The hotel was also really nice, I was shocked on how beautiful it was for the price. The food was also great. We got to see 4 out of the big 5 and I would highly recommend this tour.

Kenyan hospitality
The good
Our guide Robert was very kind and wanted us to have a good time. We saw all of the big 5 except leopards but saw LOTS of other animals and got some amazing pictures. Robert seemed a great tracker always listening to the radio to find out where to find the best animals. For some reason we got given a Jeep when we were expecting a mini van which was much better for Masai Mara. Communication with the company was good. All plans were executed smoothly. They even helped us to book train tickets for our onward journey as we didn't have an Mpesa account. All the camps and meals were very clean and we'll located. Meals were buffet style and very nice and plentiful.
On the last part of our safari we had a new guide Kevin who was also very nice and organized.
The bad
Even though it says a maximum of 6 guests in the vehicle we had 8 guests + the guide. This meant that there wasn't enough room for everyone + their luggage so we ended up leaving over an hour late because the guide was trying to shove it all in, and we ended up boxed in with luggage in the aisle of the vehicle. When we asked the guide about the 6 maximum rule he said "But this is good for me." We then got pulled over by the police on the way to masai mara because our TLB (tax) was out of date which delayed us for another couple of hours. To be fair to Robert he was very apologetic and dealt with the situation as best he could and made up the time on the safari the next day so we didn't really miss out, it was just frustrating.
Overall
I would recommend booking Karibu for a safari, but I'd check the itinerary on their own website before you do, as it doesn't seem to match what is written on 3rd party websites.

Great experience with loads of wildlife
Experience was very nice value for the money. Especially I would like to thank driver Chris (they do not call him Safari Doctor for nothing) as we were able to spot a load of wildlife.
