Amazing tour - thanks to the best guide James
We did the 4 days group joining safari first to Masai Mara and then to lake Nakuru and we had an amazing trip. We had the best guide in a James, who did a great effort to make sure we saw all the big 5. But that leopard hide well, so maybe next time ☺️ Together with Karibu we also did a surprise for hot air balloon ride for my sister and it was just fabulous. We also got a cake and a song. So we can only recommend Karibu safari for the next trip. Thanks to the staff for all the placed we went

Really good guide!
The Safari in Masai Mara and Nakuru Lake is ideal for a group of friends, family or couples who are looking for an adventure and some peace and quiet. I went alone and It was amazing as well!
The Lodge in Masai Mara and the Hotel in Nakuru Lake are situated near to the Game Reserve, both very clean, confortable, staff are friendly and there is hot shower during some hours per day (Masai Mara). The only thing is that I spent my first night in a shared room (even if I booked a private).
Aroni was our guide for 4 days and I really enjoyed his company, ponctuallity, knowledge about the animals and the places we’ve been, africain culture and enthousiasme doing his work! Really good driver as well! I would recommend Aroni to anyone.

Martin is the "King" of the Kenyan safari adventure!
From the first prompt response to my email by Robert to the final goodbye at my hotel drop off, Karibu was professional and courteous. Travelling solo was not an issue and all accomodations were as expected if not better. Felt safe and secure and would highly recommend Karibu to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thorough, close up look at Kenya's wildlife

Thank Karibu safari in net (Robert and Richard) for my wonderful holidays.
Thank Karibu safari in net for my wonderful holidays. Robert could offer for me the fascinating 6 days group (value for money) safari. I have visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli and have seen all big five and much more animals. Thanks our guide Richard for our smooth transportation and breathtaking stories about any animal and any bird we could meet. Also Richard could help to decide any problem on the way as to buy the camera's memory and the power for the camera, to find the right place to change money etc. I will always keep in my heart these my magic holidays
Whole trip was well organized. Castro is a very nice hoster...Anyway good experience...
Good service, pickup and drop off at the airport, help for luggage, arrange the trip...

Overall, it was unforgettable experience!

An incredible safari experience with a fantastic guide, great accommodation and lovely food!
The whole process of booking the safari was very simple - we said the parks we wanted to go to, what our budget was and how long we wanted to go for. They came back very quickly with a quote and a plan for the 3 nights/4 day safari that we wanted.
We were given a contact number and were promptly picked up on the morning of our safari - our guide, Evans, was amazing. He worked so hard to help us see animals - a whole pride of lions, elephants, zebras, rhinos... we saw everything we wanted! He had excellent knowledge of the animals and the parks and kept us very well informed. From start to finish, Evans was a polite, punctual and professional guide who made our experience truly memorable. He went out of his way to help us get back to Kampala too after our bus was cancelled - he took us to the offices, helped us book different tickets and even changed the times of our game drive so that we could make the new bus!
The accommodation in Amboseli and Nakuru was great and really good value for money - the food was really good too and plentiful!
Highly recommended (ask for Evans!) and we will be using this company again!
Thanks :)

Beautiful- 5 Days Masai Mara And Lake Nakuru

in masaai mara game reserve. Dinner and overnight at the Onchoro campsite.
Day 2: Masaai Mara full day game viewing a cross the rich, tree studded grassland and
rolling hills. All meals and over night in the Onchoro campsite.
Day 3: breakfast, visit the Masai village for a cultural experience
drive to Nakuru
Lunch - most delicious I’ve had
Book in local hotel and dinner
Day 4: half day at Nakuru NP
Drive to Naivasha
Day 5: Naivasha- nature walk at “Hell’s Gate”
Drop off at airport
Likes:
- the tour was well organized
- the guide, Raymond, was very kind, patient and accommodating. He is guest focus, he took us around the town to local spots and went all out to give a memorable experience
- the camp site has good facilities
- the hotels are clean and comfortable
- the food is very good but a memorable meal was in day 3, when we stopped for lunch from Masai Mara to Nakuru, it was excellent.
All food is good and safe to eat.
- the tented camp staff was just awesome (John, Jacob, Tumuti and the rest of the kitchen staff)
Dislikes:
- payment is cash local currency or usd, ask for a receipt as I had issues payment and it was difficult to prove that I paid 50usd extra as the money was exchanged in a vehicle with one of the guides (Dan) and no paperwork or witnesses.
Otherwise; I highly recommend the tour!

The safari was great!
Everything was perfect besides two small details... during the safari we had two drivers. The first one drove us during the time we were in Masai Mara. Althought our package said that water was included he didn't provide us any. Also the last day we were supposed to have an early game drive in Masai Mara but instead he told us we were driving directly away from the park.
The second driver was great, and the overall experience really good!

First class company for our safari adventure
After years of planning we have just returned from our first safari trip and we could not be happier. Karibu Safaris in Kenya took care of everything- despite the time difference Victor never took more than a couple of hours to reply to our many questions as we prepared ourselves to this journey. From the moment we landed to the moment we arrived safe and sound back at the airport our trip was simply outstanding. Not a single issue faced prior to, during or after our adventures in Nairobi and the Masai Mara. The highlight of our trip was definitely David, our guide and driver he is one of the best professionals I’ve ever met- a reliable, hard-working and committed individual . In addition to his impressive driving and animal tracking skills, level of excellence. Thanks to his well-trained eye and skills we managed to not only see the Big 5 in great style but also learn much more than what we could from books and websites. Our memories of a lifetime are simply unbelievable – from witnessing dozens of lions, elephants and cheetahs enjoying family life right next to us to the hard-to-find leopards and rhinos looking us right in the eye. We stayed at Mara Serena for three nights and I am already looking forward to returning. I highly recommend booking different kinds of activities through Karibu Safaris in Kenya.
