We had a fantastic safari experience in Masaai Mara with Karibu.
We had a fantastic tour, we got immediate and accurate answers to our questions when writing to them in advance, we were picked up on time and had a most kind, knowledgeable and talkative guide, Collins/Arony. He made our safari an unforgettable experience.

I was well taken care of and saw so many animals!
The 'add on' safari is very interesting. You never know how long you will be with the same group. I signed up for the 5 day safari. Days 1 & 2, I was with 6 very nice people. We stayed at an eco camp. Lots of fun (but don't expect a hot shower). Days 3 & 4 was spent with a very fun and diverse group. The hotel was economy...but it wasn't about the accommodations for me, although I loved the place I stayed on the last night. Day 5, I had a private driver! I felt like royalty. He stopped whenever I wanted, took many pictures for me and was very informative.
In all this was an amazing experience. The drivers were all great, taking us over some terrain that I would have a hard time walking/climbing over! They some how spotted animals that were totally camouflaged, easing up to them for breathtaking viewing. One day we saw 12 lion cubs rollicking around together on a large rock. After a while 3 lionesses strolled over and lay down or groomed a cub with no concern for us. I saw all the 'Big 5', even the very elusive Leopard, as well as many, many other animals. At Hells Gate Park there are no predators so I was able to get out of the vehicle and wander in the fields as zebras and giraffes (among others) grazed. What a feeling! Do this!!! You won't regret it.

Great mount Kenya hike with Karibu Safaris
We had a fantastic experience with Karibu Safaris and in particular with Dan who in just one day organised for us a last minute 5 days trek up to mount Kenya.
He introduced us to our guide Jimmy who met us in Nairobi and explained us clearly the activity for the next few days and answered all our questions in regards to different route and safety concerns.
When you decide to climb a 5.000mt mountain you want to make sure you are looked after by a professional and capable ensemble of expert hikers.
That was the case with Jimmy and his team including 2 porters and 1 chef.
I would highly recommend Karibu Safaris to anyone keen to hike mount Kenya and its surroundings for the following reasons:
- Great service
- Competitive price
- Genuinely good/caring people
- Safety first is their priority
- Great food
I would use Karibu Safaris service again if I had the chance.
By the way , hiking mount Kenya was one of the top highlights of our travelling across Africa for the last 3 months. Do it!

Incredible Adventure
I could not have imagined how truly amazing our 6-day safari would be. Though the living conditions and food are not luxurious by any means and the long hours in the van can get uncomfortable, i found myself missing every minute of it once it was over.
I made a few videos about our journey that you can watch here:

Awful tour for affordable price level.
We can truly say, we had a great tour with many highlights, especially in Maasai Mara, where we got in close contact to the big five. Before starting the tour we had no big expectations, but after the tour all our expectations have been fulfilled. The accommodations were okay as well as the food, which was served. We had a perfect guide (Arony). He was a very good and safe driver and took care about us all the time. We can recommend Karibu Safaris in Kenya to all, who would like a budget and no luxory safari.

Amazing experience
My husband and I were on a 6-days' safari in Kenya with Karibu safari. they did great job from the start, were quick to reply and follow up. I was pleasantly surprised by the standard of accomodation, seeing that we were on a budget safari. Our driver, Arun, was very professional at all times and it was clear that he's had vast experience with safaris. We got to see much more than I could have ever imagined thanks to him. All in all, a fantastic trip and value for money!
Quick tip: even though it says that water is included, it only includes full-day safaris in Amboseli and Masai Mara. You have to pay for water at lunch and dinner.

Safari with Karibu was pretty good this time, everything was well planed.
Compare with the price you pay, if you have compare to other agency, this 6 days safari was really good for me.
Like I said, you have to have a expectation with the price you paid and what you want to get out of the safari. It was not a fancy new car, but safe, well modified and big enough for our luggage and watch the animal while in the park. Our guide/driver Arony had 18 years of safari, he was very patient, professional and have many knowledge of animals and culture of Kenya, you can ask him anything if you have questions. Other than that, food, transportation, tent/hotel was well planed. Also include pick up and drop off from the airport and to your hotel after.
So I'm really satisfied with Karibu this time, and thanks to Arony and my friend Dan.
