Perfect safari perfect guide perfect hotels and camps bad/no transfer
Good communication with Karibu in The Netherlands bad/no communication with Karibu in Kenya. Safari, guide, accomodation perfect.
Charging phones and cameras difficult, wifi hotels ok. Food ok. Guide perfect. Missing relax day in Safari Park Hotel Nairobi. Long days in car worth it. Stop with pool no warning bathing suit.

Amazing safaris
The communication was exelent with karibu safaris in kenya ,and because of this two amazing guys Raymond and Castro really made our safari very fantastic and we would comment Robert and karibu safaris as ateam
Excellent safari with Karibu Safari
We booked a 10 day Safari to visit three national parks: Abaderes, Nakuru and Massai Mara. Our guide was Boniface Ngala and we could not have been luckier. Not only is he a professional and excellent driver but he has in-depth knowledge on the wildlife of the national parks which he was very willing to share showing us and explaining to us every animal we saw. He made sure we saw a maximum of animals (including Leopards eating in the trees) and was always willing to answer any questions we had both on wildlife and on Kenyan culture in general. He made our Safari a true success, attending to our needs, being early for our departure times and helping us with any issue we had. Thank you to Karibu Safari and Boniface for a wonderful vacation.

excellent and value for money, he is Best
We have started 1st day from Nairobi with a driver cum Guide James, he has picked up from our hotel at right time and took us to Masai Mara Safari for game ride, he was most aware about all routes in a so big field and showed us all most all animals available in Masai Mara and arranged a trip to Mara village, his aim was our satisfaction, and we found he has achieved their aim, we have enjoyed a good vegetarian food and shafe of camp is specifically taking care of us as being vegetarian, we have ultimate experience with karibu safari and I will surly recommend my upcoming friends to use their services fear lessly, Robert has booked my tour with proper communication and response of my mail and queries.. Thanks to team Karibu safari for their excellent coordination and cooperation.

Raymond was an absolutely joy to be around and made my whole trip better.
The tour was expensive since I only did the 3 day Masai Mara. I spent the first day getting there and only had a 2 hour afternoon drive. Then 2nd day was a full day but the last day was a morning drive similar to the first day. Besides the itinerary the driver/guide was absolutely amazing. The reason why this isn’t 3/4 stars is because of raymond. He was an absolutely beast at finding things and I was missing a cheetah and leopard from my safaris and he found them both. We saw 2leopards hunting and it was amazing. Raymond was not only fun to be around but such an amazing person! Really wish he told me it was his birthday.
Overall I think Masai Mara is overrated but Raymond was so amazing that it made the experience awesome

All around great three days
I had only three days of a trip to Masai Mara - and looked for something cost effective and found Karibu Safaris online. In the run up, I was grateful for Robert’s fast replies and help with online payment and organising pick up from my hotel. They also kindly babysat my giant suitcase whilst we were in Masai Mara.
And the good experience continued. Our driver and guide got us there quickly and safely and was a great guide when we first went into the park. The accommodation was also super and food throughout was yummy (and healthy). We also spent the whole second day in the park, saw a huge amount of wildlife and decided we didn’t need a third trip after such two successful outings.
I’m especially grateful that the team got us back to Nairobi in time for my onward journey - and got me safely all the way to my airport hotel.
I would definitely use Karibu Safaris again if and when I am back and can recommend them wholeheartedly!

Spotted all Big Five on our first day!
We had a very enjoyable time during our 6 day safari tour. Our guide/driver Arony was very professional and experienced, and thanks to him we were one of the lucky ones to spot all the Big Five in one day at the Mara including the elusive leopard and black rhino. We appreciated Arony's wealth of knowledge about the the animals and about his country, we learnt a lot through him. While the drives between the parks can be quite long (our longest day was from Nakuru to Amboseli - 8 hours), he would try his best to get us to the destination in the fastest way while being safe. Tips for future travellers: You can ask to buy extra water on the way out of Nairobi aside from the bottles the company provide during game drives. Kenya can be very hot and dry and it's important to stay hydrated. Drinks are not included in the restaurants/lodgings, and are more expensive once you are in the parks. Make sure you have enough batteries/power banks and memory cards. Not all camps have 24 hour electricity nor sockets in your tents. We took more photos than expected as Arony really made an effort to make sure we get the best angles, and the right moments when the animals are moving. This tour is great for its value, it's budget friendly compared to other operators, but don't expect luxury. All in all, it was a trip of a lifetime, and we hope to be going on more safaris in the future!

Unforgettable experience - thanks to the best guide Arony
It was very good safari, well organized, no any complains. We saw and pictured many animals, including those estimated rare, like leopard and cheetah. Our guide Arony was very good, he was obviously very experienced, many thanks to him. We will come again soon, probably with friends and again will do it through Karibu safari. Once again thank you guys for the beautiful moments. Wish all the best, hopefully see you soon.
