Great Budget Masai Mara Safari
Arrived on a very early flight and was able to start a 3day Masai Mara safari the same day. Airport pickup, was brought to a house nearby to rest for a couple of hours and shower, then driven to the centre of Nairobi to join the other tour members. Communication was excellent prior to my arrival and everything ran smoothly. The safari itself was amazing, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, elephants, cape buffalo, wildebeest, ostriches, hyenas, jackals & many other animals and birds our driver was able to somehow spot and identify. As it was low season I had my own huge tent in our camp for two nights, the food was also excellent & there was plenty of it (buffet-style).
The only downsides were a German couple in our van who stayed at a more upmarket camp far from ours, we spent a bit of time making the bumpy journey over there to pick them up every time, but our driver made up for lost time by staying longer in the park. Also beware that the last 70km or so in the van to get to the camp are on probably the worst road I have ever been on in my life, but for the price of this tour it's worth putting up with.

Perfect Budget Safari in Kenya
I just decided to fly to Kenya very soon and I am luck to find Robert to help me this budget tour. I enjoyed the tour a lot and watched many wild animals. The hotels and meals were provided over my expect. Our driver and guide is very nice as well. Remember, this is budget and joined tour. You will meet a lot of interesting persons.

Aruni (guide and driver) is the best!
Overall Kenya impression is way beyond expectations. Masai Mara National Park is the most exciting place I have visited in my entire life (I've been to 17 countries).
Our guide Aruni (I hope I correctly spelled his name, sorry if I did not) is very educated and experienced person. He showed a great patience to us.
Aruni is not only very knowledgeable guide but also a really great driver! (he drove on 2-WD in places where you can simply stuck with All-WD!).
I recommend Karibu Safaris as trustworthy and affordable safari providers in Kenya.
Excellent value
Safari was great, James an excellent driver, saw all the animals apart from the Rhino. For the money this is excellent value and I recommend them

Excellent safari & great guide at affordable price
The experience was great, we booked a 4day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru trip and we loved it. Robert offered for us to be picked up in Kisumu, something that no other company did. We paid a deposit in advance and the rest to the guide. Arony, the guide and driver, was great. He went the extra mile at all times to make sure we could see all the animals, he accepted all our requests to stop every ten seconds to take pictures, and he knew all sorts of things about the animals. I would definitely reccommend him and Karibu for any safari experience.

With problems to viktory
The csr was thirty, the driver is gud driver but speek not much, tha safary and lodge was gud
Great Value & Friendly
Our tour guide stayed with us the whole time and was always looking out for us while going above and beyond for our family with three young children. Very trustworthy. He had made sure it was a good experience for us while answering all of our questions. Accommodations and food was basic but very appropriate for Kenya since we were here for the safari and to see the animals. Would recommend the company.

Great experience
The tour was great, I was able to see a lot and it was very well organized! Visiting Masai Mara courtesy of Karibu Safaris mesmerized me and was a very unique experience. I would highly recommend this tour even if you have limited time only and want to get a peak of the great rift Valley,the Kenyan landscape and enjoy beautiful scenery and would like to see the famous wilderbeast migration .

Excellent service, excellent staff, quick response and always punctual
I got to know Karibu safaris from my online search and contacted them same as I did with others which I also found online. What caught me was their response time, very quick with questions answered. Even though this was a budget safari, i had the opportunity to discuss the safari options till I felt ok with the suggestions. On the Safari, the driver/guides Richard& Dennis were very punctual when it came to pick up & drop off times, impressively punctual, very friendly, knowledgeable about the animals & ensured we saw the big 5. They never complained or seemed to be in a hurry but ensured we got a good view of the animals and had taken good pictures. Imagine taking care of the diverse needs of 8 adults on a safari & no one had anything negative to say.One thing to note with Karibu is always make specific inquiries about issues/information received for clarity sake. Do not assume any information. It was an excellent experience & we never felt abandoned or stranded at any point.
