Aroni - Very professional, smooth experience
Good experience throughout. Aroni was very knowledgeable about Kenya, it's people and it's wildlife. He was happy to help, and organised everything to ensure a smooth experience.
We had a great few days, saw all of the Big 5 on the safari and also saw lots of Kenya when driving between the parks.

Aroni was very professional and so knowledgable about the park and animals!
Aroni was very knowledgeable about all aspects of Kenya and the Masai Mara.
He made our safari a very positive and comfortable experience.
Thank you Aroni

Safari your with Aruni from Karibu
We booked a five day jeep safari of the Maasai Mara and some other local parks with Karibu Safari Tours.
After being collected from the airport and taken to Karibu's office in Nairobi, we were introduced to our guide, Aruni.
After some initial discussion and clarification of the accommodation that had been booked with Karibu we were on our way.
Aruni was very knowledgeable of the animals and their habitats, providing interesting insight as we travelled around each of the parks. Aruni was also well acquainted with the most likely places to find the big five, managing to show us four of the big five in action on the first day of safari and the fifth the next day, whilst also showing us many other animals each day.
We stayed in a tented camp in the Maasai Mara, close to the Maasai village which was also interesting. We booked to stay in a tented resort as this felt in keeping with the overall experience, however even the medium level of resort proved to be rather basic. This is not a critism of the resort as the standards seeme to be consistent. However, if you are more focused on the comfort rather than the authenticity of accommodation, a lodge may be a more appropriate choice.
The whole safari was a complete success thanks to Aruni, who proved to be an expert guide.
I throughly recommend both our tour operator, Kalibu, and our safari guide Aroni.
Thank you.

Very good budget option
We book a shared 3 Day tour to Amboseli but ended up being only two people in the tour. Everything was very nice and we could see lots of animals, mainly elephants! We stayed in the Manjaro tented camp that was very good, with friendly people and very good food and we even got some giraffes visiting the camp :-)

An Amazing Experience.
We enjoyed and loved our 3 days Safari at Amboseli, it started with a drive to the Manjaro Tented Camp (This is a small beautify tented camp located at Amboseli outside the National park),
We were treated well by the host at the camp, we had lots of local Kenyan food, the service of the camp staffs (Beatrice and the chef) and manager was impeccable, they ensure that we get our breakfast very early in the morning before going for the game drive, they also provide meal prep for lunch and in the evening we had some nice discussions around the camp fire. If you are lucky sometimes you get to see giraffe inside the camp.
I also should not fail to mention waking up to the beautiful Mount Kilimanjaro.
The game drive was also awesome as we got to see many animals , although we didn’t really bonded well with our guide but he was patient with us while we were taking pictures of the beautiful animal and terrine of the park. He is also really flexible and helped us with a drive to the a cabin we decided to stay after the Safari.

A dream Safari experience!
Everything about the safari was simply perfect. Aroni is a very kind and a knowledgeable person. He strived to show us all the animals up close and he delivered on it. We saw the Big 5 up close! The co-ordination, the punctuality, Information about the places were commendable. He also went the extra mile and arranged for a cake as we were celebrating my wife's birthday on the safari. All in all, the safari experience far exceeded my expectations.

Fulfilling Experience
We had a really good experience! Aroni was our guide and he was very helpful and knowledgeable! He went out of his way to make sure we had a good time and saw all the animals. It crossed all our expectations - we saw all the big 5 including lion cubs which was a highlight! The Safari operators had good communication, the stays were good. Overall the experience exceeded expectations

The guide made our experience pretty disapointing
The organization and comunication with Karibu has been great. The lodge we stayed at was also very nice and price for the services was also fair.
We are disapointed at the guide. Was not explaining anything to us unless we were asking for something specific and even then he could be wuite rude sometimes. He did not explain what was our program, what we were doing that day, what were we trying to see....nothing at all. He was in the phone all the time and not cooperative at all. Even after the lunch break all the people would be ready and waiting for him to keep going and he would be talking to others, or just chilling or on the phone.
We gave him tip just because we were suppose to and was highly recommended to do so, not from the heart. If I would go back in time I wouldnt give him a cent. He did not do a good job and he knew it, and despite that he was acting quite arrogant. So sad that such a experience was not enjoyed to the fullest.
