Amazing time at amazing places with amazing people
A week after my safari I can write for this amazing time. For me it will be alive experience. Caribu organized everithing perfect. Our drivers were not ordinery drivers. They were excellent guides who knew where and when to see all animals in Massai Mara Nakuru and Amboseli national parks. They find and whow us everithing which we were coming in Kenya for-lions chitas leopards elephands rinos jursfas zebras antilopas and many moore. We sow sunrise and dunset in savanah and they are so beautiful. Caribu staff are very kind helofull and nice biys. Thank you Karibu!If you want to make a very nice and unforgetable safari use Karibu!

Excellent budget safari
Overall the safari was great. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we saw so many animals. We were picked up from our Airbnb outside of Nairobi and driven to the office the morning we departed. The amenities at the camps outside the parks were not luxurious, but certainly adequate. The food was substantive and lunch was provided each day, as promised, while on game drives or driving between parks. Communicating with Robert was very easy as he was very responsive. One thing to be aware of is that if you’re doing a multi-day safari visiting different parks then one day may not include a game drive, but just driving between parks. We did a 5 day safari to Masai Mara and Amboseli, which actually was 1.5 day drives in each park. The morning of first (6 HRs) and all day of third day was driving (11.5 hrs). That’s inevitable because of the distance - but whereas some safaris may fly you into the parks, this safari route is all driving. Also, with these types of safaris you may be picking up and dropping off group members as not everyone is on the same schedule. We did encounter one miscommunication where our transportation to Mombasa wasn’t as we expected. We actually had to backtrack a few hours and pick up an intercity bus for 8 hours to get to our destination, where as we thought the Safari van or transport associated with the safari would bring us there. It was a bit of an added stressor and if we had known it was a public bus we may have arranged other transportation for that last day. All in all it was a great adventure, and a great deal for what you get, but just make sure to be clear on transportation and your agenda!

Great trip.
Communications were good although we did feel a little uneasy paying by cash in a room several floors up. Picked up on time .
Our driver Arony was excellent. Camp although different from one expected (Daisy Eco camp) was good.

Everything worked as promised. No complains.
First guide Ambros was excellent. Wery knowing asked allways can we start the car, have all finished photoshooting etc. Also Kobra was helpfull and knowing. Rhino camp was better than expected. Amboseli camp worse. Lake Nakuru really had only Rhinos and Rothschilds giraffes. Cars are a bit too crowded when 6-7 people in. Max 5.
Would leave Nakuru out next time.
Can and will reccommend.

Well organized and enjoyable safari trip for 6 days.
Very enjoyable experience. Everything went fine as planned. Robert, the trip advisor, was very helpful in answering our questions before our arrival. Ambrose, our driver-guide, was professional and friendly. He answered our questions and shared with us nice curiosities about animal’s wildlife during the safari.
If I have to be picky, the only negative aspect is that we had to wait about 45 min before somebody came to pick us at the airport.

Happy to see so many animals
The guide is nice and accommodations are clean and tidy. It would be better to have maximum 7 people on a van for safari tour becoz of the limited space.

Greatest adventure
We had our safari in september and it was a great experience though we didnt make it to see the migration a lot in this month now. We still see lots of animals all around us. Our driver is nice and friendly, he has made the instructions and things to notice very clear. He try to give us the best view of the wildlife without interrupting others.
It was also a memorable experience to hike in hells gate, to see how the special geographical features were brought about by erosion and eruption.

Honest people and always try to give their best
As I wrote in heading , they are honest and try to give their best. The price they charge , it may not be possible to expect more what they provide. We were 30 persons group and sometimes it was really a challenge to make all happy. Arun, their leader guide need special mention for his leadership quality and attitude. Rest all three were very good and well mannered. We enjoyed our safari and was of course a life time experience .
Regarding stay and food, I would say food may be repetitive, it all depends what you want there? Safari or food? Regarding stay Amboseli camps: some tents are really good but many of them are really rundown condition. We managed. Nakuru Hotel: Very good and clean. Food both dinner and breakfast was buffet and not bad at all as someone wrote. Mara springs camp: was very good . All camps had water supply hot and cold 24 hours. Electricity was by generator run from 6:30 pm to 10 pm and 6 am to 8 am. It was never a problem. few tents has charging point of its own and some has not. The caretaker Williams was the nicest person I saw there , I had no problem of charging my gadgets despite I has no charging point in my tent.
I will definitely recommend and will again visit but keep expectations low....you will enjoy
