Great experience
Communication with Karibu Safaris is easy and fast. The driver picked us in time and he is very nice. The lodge was also nice and the safari experience was great. I highly recommend this agency.

Amazing and perfectly arranged experience
We absolutely loved this safari, our tour guide Colin was a very skilled driver so despite the heavy rains that had damaged some of the roads we were able to see everything and travel safely. We saw loads of animals and our accomodations were all very comfortable and clean with great staff.

Karibu Safaris in Kenya offers unforgettable, expertly guided tours that immerse you in the stunning
I recently spent three incredible days with Karibu Safaris in Kenya, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the start, our driver John took exceptional care of us. He was an outstanding guide, ensuring we had a memorable experience—thank you, John, for everything!
Our adventure began with a timely pick-up from our hotel, followed by a seamless transfer to another driver in the center of Nairobi. The journey to Masai Mara took around six hours, and every moment was worth it. We stayed two nights at Enchoro Wildlife Camp, which was fantastic. The camp offered comfortable beds, hot showers, and delicious food. The staff were incredibly attentive, always ensuring guests were well taken care of. Although we could hear hyenas at night and mosquitoes were present, the mosquito nets provided ensured we weren't bitten once during our stay.
On the first day, we relaxed at the camp for a couple of hours before heading to Masai Mara National Park around 4 pm. The landscape was breathtaking—beyond anything I could have imagined. We were fortunate that it wasn’t too crowded since it was the start of the summer season, a perfect time to see the wildlife. That evening, we saw a variety of animals, including antelopes, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and numerous bird species.
The second day was even more thrilling. We spotted ostriches, lions, lionesses, hyenas, cheetahs, secretary birds, and more giraffes and elephants. The diversity of wildlife in Masai Mara is astounding. We had several stops to eat during the safari, and I was always struck by how calm and relaxing the environment was.
On the last day, we visited a Masai Mara village, gaining fascinating insights into the daily lives of the local tribes—how they live, eat, and sleep. It was an eye-opening experience.
Karibu Safaris exceeded all my expectations in terms of communication, service, value for money, and reliability. The entire tour was perfectly organized, and every moment was filled with wonder and excitement. I wholeheartedly recommend Karibu Safaris to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari adventure in Kenya.

Very good
We took part in the 3 day Massai Mara safari tour. We loved it. Our guide Castro was very nice. Value for money was good. We stayed in a budget camp outside the park. People were lovely, food and comfort were decent. That’s all we wanted. We just have two little acknowledgments: in the list about the things that are included is botteled water. The first day we did not get any water, the second day a litre and the last day again no water. I highly recommend you’ll packe enough water and snacks on your own, as it sometimes a long drive without any break. That’s the second point too. For us the time between breaks especially toilet breaks were just too long.
Despite these points it was a great experience.

Incredible Experience, Smooth Communication, Great Drive/Guide
So our 4-day, 5-night safari with Karibu Safaris was totally awesome! Robert was super helpful, answering all our questions and making sure we were 100% satisfied before we paid anything. We communicated easily on WhatsApp and email.
When we arrived, they picked us up from the airport and took us straight to Masai Mara Camp. Our tour guide, Raymond, was super knowledgeable and friendly, which made our adventure in the Masai Mara even better. He made sure we had the best experience, and since we had a private 4x4 car, we started every day at sunrise.
My wife and I saw some incredible wildlife. It was so exciting to finally spot all after searching for them.

The most incredible team, so supportive, kind and helpful it really made our trip amazing
We did the four day mount Kenya hike, with Jimmy our guide and his team! I cannot put into words how amazing it all was, so tough at times but incredible experience. We saw beautiful views and ate delicious food along the way! The whole trip was very straightforward in regards to getting to the mountain and hiring boots etc which made it super easy for us! I would 100% recommend using karibu safaris for this trip as the staff were brilliant! This is definitely the best value for money trip I have been on!

Incredible, made everything very straightforward and easy
The trip as a whole was amazing and I enjoyed it so much. We hiked the Sirimon (might have spelt that wrong) route up and from someone who has very little hiking experience, there are times where it is pretty tough, but definitely manageable. What made the trip as enjoyable as it was was definitely our guide, Jimmy and his team. Jimmy was our guide throughout the trip, whenever we were hiking we were with him whereas the rest of the team would march ahead to our next campsite to set up our tent and start making our food which made the trip very simple and straightforward. They were all lovely people and Jimmy, who we spent most of our time with, was so down to earth and easy to chat to while walking. The food was delicious and we were very well fed throughout. The hiking itself, as mentioned, was tough at times but doable. We were able to walk at our own pace throughout and to take short breaks of we got tired which made the total of around 50km of hiking more than enjoyable. Although it’s not the highest mountain in the world it still feels epic to reach the top. Would 100% recommend to anyone who is interested or is spending time in Kenya. Would definitely rate it 10/10.
Great safari with experienced driver!
Very well organized safari, the accommodation was very comfy (though a little bit noisy) and the driver was very professional, always managing to find the best animals.
The food was standard, but it's expected knowing the tour price.
Careful: the 3 days 2 nights tour is only for 12 hours in the park maximum.

Amazing experience! 4 day safari - Maasai Mara/Lake Nukuru
An amazing experience our safari of 4 days: Maasai Mara/Lake Nukuru organized by Karibu Safaris.
Our tour guide Joseph was polite, a really good driver, and an expert, he found a lot of animals before the others jeep.
We booked a budget safari but our camp in Maasai Mara was nice, and also the food was good.
The airways company gave us an early flight (3 hours before) and Karibu Safari handled the problem well, still managing to get us to Nairobi airport in time for our flight.
Thanks! Asante sana

Amazing safari
The tour satisfied us completely and respected the planned program. The communication between us and the guide, Steven, was excellent and he proved to be very reliable, kind and punctual. He always tried to make us see as many animals as possible and not let us get bored by always proposing valid activities. Very good value for money.
