Great Safari with Karibu!
Thanks Karibu Safari for great organsation, kind and quick answers - thats why we chose them because of professional comunication! Also because they were helpful about our final destination to finish not in Nairobi, but Mombasa and they aranged for free that Luxury public bus pick up us in Emaly and get to Mombasa.
We were 5 in a car and that was OK. We really enjoy safari itself, despite of long distance driving between the parks.
Our driver Aron is the Best and very experienced guide! Because of comunication, knowledges, attention to everyone and humor.
Camps was OK, food - tourism standart. Animals were fantastic - we enjoy watching them, but may be it is better to came in season during migration period - July to November, however there will be 10 times more tourists too. We manage to see all BIG 5 !
Thanks KARIBU Safari

Great experience
Edward was a great tourguide with a lot of knowledge. We booked a 7 day safari in low season, so it was not crowded at all. We changed cars and scedule a couple of times, but in the end we did everything we wanted, even though we skipped a few hours of safari due to the changes. Accomodation and food were better than expected. Overall a great experience. Would definately recommend.

Reliably and in time. Friendly and helpful personnel.
Everything was great! Very good impressions! Raymond is really very experienced driver. Secured drive under extremely challenging conditions. In general, service satisfied the price. However, more telling about the animals while being in Masai Mara would be desirable.

"Great life experience safari" with karibu safaris in kenya.
we booked a 3 days and 2 nights safari to maasai Mara with karibu safari in kenya. our driver was Mr. Raymond and it was planned and arranged by Derrick mailu.thier prices and flexibility are good as compared to other operators.the drive was nice from the pick at utawala though the morning was rainy. after a pleasant drive we ended up in maasai mara and went for evening park drive.we stayed at mara elephant spring- tented camp which provided Delicious meals and good staff(cooks).the full day park drive ,after a night of heavy rain brought us wonderful view of animals(different species) at close range. Raymond our tour guide was knowledgeable and kind. had a good feeling when to stop for a photo and even for special request. we managed to see 4 of the big five. (didn't see rhino).i would definitely recommend karibu safari for any experience.

Excellent tour guide called James, he was so patient and really directed the tour to our taste.
The communication was great- they were very quick to reply to any question or messages we had before we arrived and then as soon as we met James on the first day, we knew we were in safe hands. The service was excellent, we had loads of space and did as much as we could have done within the few days. He really tried to ensure we saw all the animals and listened to us when we asked to go somewhere/any questions/ if we had enough for the day.

Great experience with reasonable price
First of all, Karibu Safari’s email response was very quick, so it was very helpful for us. And the driver (Raymond) was very nice and tried his best to show us Big 5 and other animals in Masai Mara national park. So we really appreciate that.
However, as for the schedule, they told us in email that we will visit Masai village at evening of second day then visit Masai Mara national park again on our last day ( third day of the trip) initially. But somehow schedule was changed and we visited Masai village on our last day, so we didn’t have time to go back to Masai Mara national park. We expected to do game drive for three days, so it was a little bit disappointing.... also, since we were on 3days trip and other people were on 2days trip, we had to switch our bus on our second day. It was okay but nothing was explained before so we were a bit confused at that time. We think that schedule needs to be explained beforehand...
Other than that, we really enjoyed our first Safari experience. Thank you very much for giving this great experience.

Great trip!
Definitely a great trip, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The only reason I haven’t rated as a 5 is because of some of the lack of communication involved. I hadn’t realized that everyone in my group would not be staying in the same hotel with me, or even staying the same length of time at the park. This led to some coordination challenges, but all in all this never detracted from my experience. I also never revived an itinerary of my trip, so think that improved communication may be an area for some improvement.
All in all though the drivers were great, and always super accommodating (even changing a flat tire in less then 10 minutes!). Karibu was also extremely responsive to my messages at all times of day, which I really appreciated. Definitely the best value for its reasonable price compared to other operators.

Very friendly and professional safari guides.They sincerely tried to accomodate our needs and wishes
Communications were very punctual.Service from airport pickup to drop back in airport was good.
The choice of hotels and tents was not upto our expectations.We should have found out more before booking but the wonderful safaris and co operative tour guides Aroney and Dan really made up.Thanks, Karibu for a wonderful experience.

Vaule for the Spend
Communications are great. Robert was very informative and quick responded. Ramond the guide was very active and tried to give maximum experience at first two days. but We couldnt do much in third day. We supposed to go for a morning game drive but didnot made it. Accommodations need to be bit more upgrade since limited facilities were available. Karibu is overall good valued for the money.
