Bad start but good end
The first thing is that the driver was excellent and very experienced. Aron is best at taking positions abd chasing animals in Safari game driving. The other thing was that the tent camp was much safer and in good conditions than we thought. Meal was good and internet was ok. Also it is really great to experience such nature.
Apart from this, I must say we experienced a really bad thing. Their email was hacked and we had stress over days even before our journey starts. But they funded our trip because our money was stolen.
Second bad thing was because this is a budget tour, you should think you already accept risking things. So beware that you may come across with hard to deal with kind of things.
The operaters knew how to deal with things. We were 5 people from age of 28 to 60s and none of us found it too hard. I wish you all good luck for the big fiv

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.

A truly authentic Kenyan experience with a friendly knowledgeable tour guide
It was a lot of driving more than expected. I was a little unaware of the itenerary. I don't think you should go to lake nakuru anymore because many tourists, including myself, expect to see many flamingos. At least tell the guests before they go they won't see that. The food is also not meant for American digestive system maybe take alternatives or medicine

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 .
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.

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.
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
A wonderfull 5-day Safari to three different places seeing plenty of animals at close range.
We were very satisfied with our 5-day Safari. Massai Mara was definitely the highlight. The Nakuru park was a worthwhile addition as well as the Hell's Gate Gorge in Naivasha. The 45 minutes boat trip on lake Naivasha however was not worth the additional costs of 20 USD per person.
Accommodation and food was fine. Our guide was very knowledgeable on wildlife , culture, an excellent driver and a very pleasant person.
