Excellent tour!
The tour was very well organised. Thank you to Castro and everyone who made the trip to Kenya an unforgettable one. Everything went very smoothly. The accommodation was excellent in both Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. The food was very tasty, I am vegetarian and my partner is not, it was well catered for both of us with many options. The car was big and comfortable and we got to see all the animals we wanted. We also made some friends on the way. Thank you again!

Memorable experience
We had a fantastic experience on our trip to the Masai Mara. Raymond took us on tour drives and was an excellent communicator, answered all our questions about the animals, and was quick to jump on any opportunity to ensure we had a close view of the animals. In the two days we were there, we managed to see 4 of the big 5, which was amazing.
We were given three meals a day, including lunch on the days we were travelling which was a much-appreciated surprise.
We got the opportunity to visit a local Masai village (note to bring money if you want to do this, as they charged us an entry fee for it once we arrived) and learnt a bit about the Masai culture.
Camping was very basic ‘glamping’ style, and although we did have our own toilet the facilities were very basic. Also important to note that electricity was only available for a few hours during the day, and was turned off at around 10pm. We didn’t mind at all as we thought it was altogether fantastic value for money, and were expecting either something similar or potentially a bit worse. I’m mentioning it as it is worth noting for others who may be uncertain whether this tour is for them, and who may want to spend a bit more money for more luxury camping.
Overall, I couldn’t recommend this more. All the staff were friendly and amazing, and it was definitely a memorable experience!

Amazing experience on a 3 day safari, will remember it forever
Went on a 3 day safari from Nairobi with a group of 6. Great trip to the Masai Mara with amazing buffet food and views on the way.
Cannot believe how much we saw in such a short time! Raymond made sure we always had great views and got to any sightings very quickly, never missing the action.
When we had spotted some things in the distance, he would know exactly how to get to them in a short time then have lots of knowledge on each species too.
Camp was really nice and had great food too, very welcoming!
Have some very special memories from the trip!

Very friendly and accommodating, went out of their way to give us an unforgettable experience.
Fantastic and cozy tented camp with amazing views of Kilimanjaro. Henry, Sophia, Joshua and crew were so attentive and made us feel at home. The food was really tasty and dinner always ended with a campfire.
Kevin, our guide through Amboseli, was fun, informative and very attuned to spotting the wildlife.
We would love to come back.

A beautiful and memorable safari to Amboseli : highly recommended!
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a day trip from Nairobi to Amboseli with Karibu Safaris, and I must say, it was simply wonderful and exceeded all my expectations.
Despite my very last minute reservation the night before, Karibu Safaris was able to confirm my booking and the organization of the tour was flawless and hassle-free. And as a solo/only traveler on the tour, I felt fully safe and also received personalized attention and care from start to finish.
The driver Kevin was simply commendable. He was punctual, a safe driver, extremely professional, fun, kind, friendly and courteous. He was also patient with me as I was late to meet him and start the tour. And he subsequently also managed the time well, ensuring that the day's itinerary still flowed smoothly and that I made the most of my time in Amboseli.
Kevin's extensive knowledge and genuine passion and respect for the nature, the animals and especially for birds, added depth and beauty to the journey, enriching my understanding and appreciation of the place.
Throughout the tour, Kevin went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and enjoyment. He shared information about the various birds, elephants, gazelles, hippos, zebras and other animals we saw. He offered a longer game drive and a visit of a Masai village along the way to the park. He also stopped at view points, helped me take the best photos, and his genuine passion for sharing the beauty of Amboseli made the trip all the more special.
The logistics were great. The vehicle/van was very comfortable and in perfect condition. The packaged lunch was delicious and there were more than enough water bottles provided for during the whole trip.
Also, as I enquired with other tour companies, I realised that this tour operator offered the best price and value for money without compromising on quality -
making it a worthwhile option for budget-conscious travelers like myself.
Thanks to Karibu Tours and Kevin, I had an amazing safari day exploring Amboseli! I wholeheartedly and highly recommend them for their outstanding service and such a fun and memorable experience in Kenya!

Patience, and enthusiasm
They arranged a private car for me and my boyfriend, only for two of us. We changed our hotel the last three nights, the driver and the office kind and drive us safely to our hotel.
