Amazing Experience
this was my first safari, I can say nothing during the trip made me uncomfortable, I had a great time and met new people and made friends.
everything was well organized from arrival till departure, Sami the driver was very nice, also the hotel I stayed in before the safari was good and the staff as well.
The safari as whole was a great experience, John the driver was very good he showed us every saying and he was so helpful and even helped me to make a call to Cairo as I didn't have a mobile SIM, it was very nice of him.
the only negative thing I can say was switching the van because John had to take other customers to Massi Mara on our way to Nakuru with no heads-up, the van we switched to was a seat less so 3 people was crammed in the back seat and it was not comfortable.
except for that, I believe Karibu provided an excellent service!

Incredible Safari!
In January I went on a 7-day safari trip with Karibu Safaris and it was absolutely amazing. 'Karibu' means welcome in Swahili and the company definitely lives up to its name. They hold customer service in high regard which was noticeable both before arriving and also during my stay in Kenya. For instance, Robert was always quick to reply to any questions via e-mail and on my last day I had a very late flight back so they let me stay at their office for a while and even provided my dinner.
When it comes to the safari itself, Karibu absolutely delivered. My tour-guide, named 'Animal', was phenomenal. He was a safe driver in and out of the parks, he knew funny and interesting stories about every single animal and he was very good at spotting them as well. Moreover, when I was feeling a bit ill he took very good care of me and made sure I got the right medication and the proper food.
Overall I had an absolute blast and Karibu provided me with a great safari experience in Kenya

Great Experience
Amazing safari. Visited Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. Our tour group was just four which made it very comfortable. Our guide/driver was really great and knowledgeable about the parks and where to find the animals. Ended up seeing all Big 5 like I had wanted. Robert the tour advisor was beyond remarkable and really went above and beyond to make all arrangements perfect. I will definitely be working with him again. Only one negative I can think of is the driver was rather reckless driving on the highway roads outside the parks by driving on the shoulder, weaving into oncoming traffic etc. to cut traffic. A little dangerous and not fun to experience. Other than that I would highly recommend Karibu Safaris.

Masai Mara Dec 2016
We were a family of 8 That took the three day safari package. Eventhough They recommended 7 to ride in the car it did not feel crowded for us. Our driver, Evans came and picked us up at the appointed time. We made a few stop on our way to the Masai Mara. The campsite was well equipped and rustic. All food was included in the price but the beverages was not. If you want to visit the Masai village remember to bring money. There is nothing to complain about the safari, our driver did everything So THAT we would experience as mush as possible. When we drove back to Nairobi, he went beyond and made a few extra stops so that we could run a few errands.

Amazing trip!
The 3-day Masaai Mara safari was great! very good driver, saw many animals, good and comfortable van, good food, good accommodation, good timing and definitely worth the money! The drivers/guides in the park work together and communicate with each other with radio/walkie-talkie to spot as many animals as possible.
Great time at affordable prices
Good pickup in the morning, driver (James) was very nice and helpful. We managed to see 4/5 big animals, so very happy with it. Food could be improved, but for the price we paid we got a lot out of it

Proffesional, low-budget safari, good driver and all the animals you want.
We went to Masai Mara 3-days safari with Issack. We found the company through the Internet and booked it by email. Before safari we had to pay 10% of advance. The price was very good in comparison to all the other companies and there was nothing to complain. They picked us up from the hostel and drove us back on the last day. In the bus there were 6 people total, so everybody would have his/her own window place to watch the animals. Food was good and we weren't hungry in any time. Our guide/driver Issack was very proffesional and nice. The accommodation was simple yet very OK. In the tents there were two beds with mosquito nets and your own bathroom with hot water. On the safari we saw all the most interesting animals, many lions and even cheetah and leopard from very close distance. Of course zebras, girraffes, hippos, hiena, elephants and many others. Issack is a good driver. Everything was on time. We were very satisfied and I recommend this company very much!

Amazing Adventure
This was my first safari in Africa and it was very memorable. The accommodations were very comfortable and there was even a bathroom with hot water right inside the tent. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. My friend got sick one day and they checked in on him during the day and made him a special lunch. The driver was informative and diligent in his search for the animals. Because of his efforts we were able to see the big five and much more! We were dropped off at the airport with time to catch our flight. All in all a great trip!
