Simply perfect!
We did the trekking up to Mount Kenya with Jimmy as guide. It was such a great experience. We felt very safe at all times. He and his team are very well prepared and know the mountain and its dangers perfectly. They help you with everything prior, during and after! It's something I absolutely recomend for trekking lovers. Being able to see the sunrise from the top of Lenana peak it's something we will not forget!

Absolutely great experience!
Great experience. We paid extra for very nice hotels and there were fantastic. Karibu offers you really good prices.
Our driver, Ambros, was the best. He made a big effort for us to see absolutely all the animals really close. I highly recommend him. You should know that you may go in the nice 4x4 or in a van like us, which is ok but not as good.

Brilliant value for money
We did a 6-day budget safari in Maasai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli (600$). We expected everything to be very basic for this price but were very, very positively surprised by the quality of the experience. The camp in Amboseli was the best; very good service, beautiful view, good food. The camp in Maasai Mara was also nice although a bit less charming than the one in Amboseli. The hotel in Nakuru was not great (outdated and lacking any charm) but clean and functional.
In Maasai Mara and Nakuru we travelled in a safari jeep with 4 other people. It was an (unexpected) upgrade apparently. In Amboseli, we travelled in a safari van, which was great because we were only 5 tourists. Indeed, normally in such a van, there is space for 9 tourists which honestly would have been too many to fully enjoy the experience.
Edward, our guide was amazing. He did everything he could to make sure we saw the big five. We saw 9 lions in total, 1 leopard, 1 cheetah, plenty of elephant, giraffes, buffalos, zebras and all the animals you dream of. Thanks so much!
I would definitely recommend to travel with Karibu Safaris.

The most beautiful and surreal experience and glad we chose Karibu.
We chose Karibu based on the Internet reviews and glad we did it. From the pick up to the drop, they were very hospitable. We didn’t face any issues in the entire trip. Our guide Jackson was the best, he’s the one who made our trip even more beautiful. The facts that he shared kept us thinking so much about nature and we’ll definitely be back and without a doubt will choose Karibu for the trip.

Super helpful, great budget option
We had a great Safari with Karibu Safaris in Kenya. We booked 3 days in Amboseli. It’s a great option for a budget safari, it was perfect for us. The van was comfortable. Our guide, Castro, was amazing. He was great at spotting animals (honestly I could not believe how good his eyesight is). We asked for a couple specific animals like hyenas and he made sure we saw loads of them! First day, a lovely 3 hour drive in the evening. Second day, a full day game drive with a stop at observation hill for lunch. On the third day we went on a nature walk with Saitoti, a local Masai who works at the camp we stayed at. I can’t recommend it enough. It was so interesting. We stayed at Manjaro Tented Camp which definitely was a highlight of our trip. Great staff and food and super comfortable tents. Be prepared to hear animals at night which really adds to the adventure! I definitely recommend this company. Booking was easy and Peter was super helpful. The park fees were included, accommodation, 3 meals a day and transfer to and from the park.

As smooth as it could possibly be :)
We had 6 days tour. Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. Except last day the weather was perfect. For most part of this tour our driver was Raimond and for sure you are lucky if he will be your guide. Drives gently and knows all great places and views on every park. If you choose budget tour, be prepared for some inconveniences, but they are all compensated with emotions you would have while driving in parks. In Amboseli there was an optional walking tour to savannah. For us it did not worth time and money. We almost did not see animals and after night rain mud was everywhere. And finally if you cannot decide to get more expensive tour or budget, definitely expensive tour worth every penny when you are tired after full day of driving.

Amazing tour and the guide had a lot of knowledge
Its was an amazing hike and we made it to the top. The guide gave us background information about the plants and animals. He also motivated us and adjusted the pace so the hike was very doable.
