Safari was one of the most wonderful things what had happened with me
Before Safari we had made investigation of few offices with their offers and choose Karibu because they have chipest price with good program. The living conditions were even better than we expected. Double bad in the individual tent with own bathroom!!! Everything clean, not a lot meal but tasty and enough for being full. But what was the most luckiest in our trip this is Arony driver. Thanks him to show us The Big 5 in 4 days and a lot of other rare animals. He has awesome experience around 20 years, he knows the all roads and shortest ways, he has good knowledges about all animals we saw and good understandable English to explain everything. Even in so dangers (with traffic) county as Kenya Arony shown us very good driver skills and we had staying safe all the trip without losing speed. What we definitely understood the main thing when you try to choose safari is the experience of your driver - without good driver you won't see something really interesting or will be stuck in the wet road. Just two things which I didn't like it is Naivasha lake and visiting Maasai village. They cost 20$ per person but I think it is too much and the driver should have clarify all additional visiting on the start of the trip.

The best safari I have had since 1976
During the precedent safaris I have had in Kenya and Tanzania, we were 6 to 8 tourists in the same minibus during the game drives, which made it difficult to watch and photography at leisure the animals, while game drives were limited to two, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, each of 2 to 3 hours, covering short distances. With Karibu Safaris, for our six-day safari, my wife and I could for a reasonable price have the minibus for us only, and we had game drives of up to 9 to 11 hours a day, both in Masai Mara and Amboseli. Our driver-guide, Arony, was exceptionally competent with 20 years of experience, friendly, anxious to show us the best, taking us to the right spot at the right time, and sparing no effort or time for this purpose. This allowed us, for example, to be among the first to reach the spot where a kill was taking place in Masai Mara, with 7 lions capturing a mature buffalo. Accommodation in lodges and food were excellent and up to our expectations. Definitely the most memorable safari we have ever had!

Very good value for money!
We did a 6 day budget safari with Karibu safaris. We Went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Amazing safaris! Prepare for long days in the car though, Kenya is a vast country and traffic is slow.
We chose Karibu safaris due to the reviews on safaribooking.com and everything went according to plan. Our guide was very keen on showing us everything important and we saw so many amazing things! A trip of a lifetime!
As we were travelling on a budget the accomodation was budget and the bathrooms of low standard, not always warm water, toilet that might not flush etc etc. But it was fine for five nights.
The food was plenty but not always super tasty according to our nordic palate. Bring a few bags of crisps and you'll do fine.
I would reccomend that you get a written contract that specifies what's included in your trip and bring it on your tour. We didn't have a problem but other guests (maybe other tour operators, not sure) had discussions about transfers to the airport etc.
Over all I would highly reccomend this safari if you're on a tight budget but want to see as much as possible and don't mind low standard accomodation.
