Amazing experience for wildlife
We recently enjoyed an amazing 5 day safari with Natural World and will recommend this to every one out there, as this was a great experience.
The team was lead by Robert, was very welcoming and accommodating with all of our queries before booking.
He answered all our emails promptly and provided information to support us through out the trip.
We booked a tented camp .The tents were kept very clean and everything was good because of the people around that made it comfortable for us.Simple yet great food.
Our driver / guide Fransis was great, he is competent and helpful.
He is knowledgeable on animals and their specific locations-habitat, inside the Maasai Mara reserve, so we were very happy to have seen all the Big Five.
This was one of our dream holidays and Natural world made sure we loved every minute.
Robert from Karibu can make your trip interesting in a country as Kenya.
I highly recommend "Karibu Safaris simply because their package price is quite reasonable.
Overall it was a great experience, and good value for money.I would use Karibu safaris if I was back in Kenya and would recommend them to my friends.

Friendly chaps. Very helpful and informative. Generally awesome go to guys for any info.
Robert, our agent, was a saviour in our case and a major help with respect to all the travel arangements going above and beyond to make sure that our trip was a wonderful one. The lunch place on our way to Maasai Mara could do with an overhaul. Tented camp was very good but showers were too rusty. The staff there were a joy. The safari was superb. Food at the camp was a super treat especially the chapati

Amazing experience
Masai Mara - 5*
Lake Nakuru - 5*
Amboseli - 2* (in spite of the park being amazing)
As previously arranged with the agency, a driver was in the airport to pick us up and to take us to the safari van in Nairobi to meet our driver Kenn and proceed to Masai Mara. In Masai Mara the overall experience was amazing. In Lake Nakuru the experience was also great and had a night in a nice budget hotel. Regarding Amboseli, we arrived there in the night of the 4th day. They gave us the last tent they had. Unfortunately, the conditions were not acceptable. The tent had a huge rip, the bathroom leaking water and the whole tent full of mosquitoes. We had to ask for another tent and a cleaner tent without bathroom was provided. It was the worse night in the whole safari and the reason why we don't submit 5 stars. The next day we went to the park (very nice), saw the mount Kilimanjaro from the camp in the end of afternoon (great view!) and we were provided with a tent with much better conditions (but still, the bed was quite broken in the middle). Here, we would like to put a nice word to our driver Kenn that made an effort for us to get the best tent! Unfortunately probably someone else had to stay in the tent we rejected the previous day. The agency has the responsibility to pressure the camp management to provide and guarantee the necessary conditions. In spite of being a budget tent, minimums are required. The return to Nairobi went well.
Very enjoyable and educational
I made this trip with my brother.
Our driver Maxwell was great. He really made the effort to show us all the interesting things. He knew a lot and explained a lot. The cars are slightly old and can be at times crowded, but you'd be surprised how well Maxwell can handle it.
The transfer from the hotel and airport was smooth. My brother's luggage was delayed but the company brought it to us. We also had a some confusion at the end of the trip for transfer to Mombasa, but they made very good effort to correct it. I would suggest that you pay close attention to the transfers yourself.
Overall, I think this is a great option if you want affordable but great safari.

A driver guide can make a safari trip be amazing: Wnjau (Animal) is just great!
The experience of 7 days of safari has been very positive, we have enjoyed it a lot and we had a great time. The only thing we did not like is that water was included in the price of the safari and we didn't see those bottles arrive, it seems that no one had them. They only gave us 3 litres for 2 people for the whole week ... Everything else perfect, very happy!
Professional and trustworthy
The whole process from booking through payment and the trip itself was excellent. Our guide John was very competent and helpful, and had everything under control even though different people had different schedules. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would recommend Karibu to anyone.

A great experience!
As a solo female traveller, I was very nervous coming to Kenya on my own, but I had a great experience with Karibu safari. I booked a 4 day tour of Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, but they organised a hotel (after40 hotel which was very nice.) and guide for the day before and after the tour. They also collected and dropped me to the airport. In the lead up to the tour Robert was great at answering all my questions.
The tour itself was great. Our guide John was very knowledgeable and I was very pleased with all the accomodation etc. During the tour I moved to another van, as the rest of my group was not going to the lake, but this all ran very smoothly and all the driver/guides were great. On the last day of my tour I started to feel sick, but the guide James was very understanding and made sure I saw a doctor.
Overall it was a great experience, and great value for money compared to other tour organisations. I would use Karibu safaris if I was back in Kenya and would recommend them to my friends.
