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.

Amazing Experience
this was my first safari, I can say nothing during the trip made me uncomfortable, I had a great time and met new people and made friends.
everything was well organized from arrival till departure, Sami the driver was very nice, also the hotel I stayed in before the safari was good and the staff as well.
The safari as whole was a great experience, John the driver was very good he showed us every saying and he was so helpful and even helped me to make a call to Cairo as I didn't have a mobile SIM, it was very nice of him.
the only negative thing I can say was switching the van because John had to take other customers to Massi Mara on our way to Nakuru with no heads-up, the van we switched to was a seat less so 3 people was crammed in the back seat and it was not comfortable.
except for that, I believe Karibu provided an excellent service!

Incredible Safari!
In January I went on a 7-day safari trip with Karibu Safaris and it was absolutely amazing. 'Karibu' means welcome in Swahili and the company definitely lives up to its name. They hold customer service in high regard which was noticeable both before arriving and also during my stay in Kenya. For instance, Robert was always quick to reply to any questions via e-mail and on my last day I had a very late flight back so they let me stay at their office for a while and even provided my dinner.
When it comes to the safari itself, Karibu absolutely delivered. My tour-guide, named 'Animal', was phenomenal. He was a safe driver in and out of the parks, he knew funny and interesting stories about every single animal and he was very good at spotting them as well. Moreover, when I was feeling a bit ill he took very good care of me and made sure I got the right medication and the proper food.
Overall I had an absolute blast and Karibu provided me with a great safari experience in Kenya

Very good experience
Our safari week in Kenya's reserves was very good, we have been lucky and well taken into national parks with our guide Jackson. Price/accomodation rate was really fair and the van and meals as well.
Very quick Robert's answering our emails and he even planned a last minute safari afternoon inside Nairobi Nat Park exactly as requested

Great Experience
Amazing safari. Visited Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. Our tour group was just four which made it very comfortable. Our guide/driver was really great and knowledgeable about the parks and where to find the animals. Ended up seeing all Big 5 like I had wanted. Robert the tour advisor was beyond remarkable and really went above and beyond to make all arrangements perfect. I will definitely be working with him again. Only one negative I can think of is the driver was rather reckless driving on the highway roads outside the parks by driving on the shoulder, weaving into oncoming traffic etc. to cut traffic. A little dangerous and not fun to experience. Other than that I would highly recommend Karibu Safaris.
