Life Time Experience!
Planning a trip of a lifetime, one has many questions and worries of the trip outcome. On contacting Robert , he put all my worries to rest and gave me an assurance that my trip was going to be enjoyable.
My questions were answered promptly and to the minute.
Come the big day, and just as promised, we had a friendly and patient driver (TOM)who answered all our questions and told us a few myths and jokes within the region. We were lucky to see big five, a thing many tourists are not lucky to come across on most occasions.
Karibu safaris has a Professional and a Formidable team. If there was any moment i would think of going back to Kenya, i will definitely use them and so would anyone who wants to make that lifetime dream become a reality.

Amazing Safari
We had an amazing trip! From the beginning, Robert was quick to respond to emails, answer questions, and give advice. Our driver Fredrick was terrific. It was our first trip to Kenya and I hope to return someday. Thank you Robert and Fredrick for making us feel welcome and sharing your beautiful country with us

A dedicated driver means a lot!
I picked Karibu Safaris based on reviews found on Internet. I had some questions concerning the 6-day safari Masaai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, and would like to have some answers before deciding whether to choose the 6-day safari or the 3-day safari to Masaai Mara. The email communication was not very professional and I was stuck without having the answers to all of my questions, just some of them.
I picked the 6-day safari. I was picked where I was staying in Nairobi. I was also brought back after the safari. That is a good and valuable service.
The actual safari tours were nice for someone who loves safari. The driver in Masaai Mara did not seem very interested in animals. Therefore, the experience could have been better. The safari in Lake Nakuru had a limited value except spotting the rhino which was not spottet in Maasai Mara. The driver in Amboseli was definitely the most dedicated one and did a good job. It was not his fault that Mount Kilimanjaro could not be seen due to thick clouds....
The 6-day safari is not recommendable unless you enjoy hours and hours of driving along the Kenyan roads. Driving from Nakuru in the morning, arriving in Nairobi in the afternoon and in Amboseli late in the evening was very tiresome. Instead of combining Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, I would suggest to combine Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru as one tour. Amboseli should rather be combined with Tsavo. That would reduce the driving along the road between the national parks.

Great Country and Beautiful people
My name is Yuko Mayako,a Japanese work for Qatar airways,we had a funtastic trip in kenya even though it was short but we enjoyed every bit of it,we cabin crews were on a stop over in nairobi since we had a full day to spent we searched for companies that could offer something special that we could exlore nairobi,we contacted a few but KARIBU SAFARIS IN KENYA were very speedy in responding to our request via email,they gave us special offer for a day trip to girrafe center,elephant orphange,karen blixen museum and lunch at carnivore restaurant and they took us to masai market where we got to buy suveniours near the hotel that we were staying..that was a day well spent and worth more that the money we paid for..thanks karibu.

I had a wonderfull ans exciting time!
Me and my friends agree that Tom form Karibu Safaris is the best driver you can possibly get! We got to see so much and had an awesome time!
Communication and organization of the tour was no problem at all. Any request we made was fulfilled perfectly fine.
There was only one negative point. the overnight stay in the Nakuru Golden Palace Resort. If there is an option, choose another hotel where the bathroom is not set under water and where you not have to share the dinning room with little kids singing karaoke!
Nevertheless, I can only recommend Karibu Safaris! It is absolutely worth it!!

We used this Karibu safari company and would highly, highly recommend using them. Their staff (special thanks to Victor & Robert) you were incredible - - they put together multiple alternatives for us to consider, provided "local" insights/opinions as we were deciding between options, and they were very responsive to our every need. Most importantly, the guides we had were incredible in every locale - - they made the trip!! Every logisital aspect of the trip went off exactly as our travel agency said it would (and the itenerary was very informative/detailed).
Perhaps the best way to summarize how much we thought of this company and the experiences they coordinated for us is that upon returing from our trip, we have already contacted the team about returning to Kenya again next year....and there was absoulutely no question that we are going to use to arrange everything for us again!!
Not forgetting our driver Tom who knew exactly where to go to for you too see the migration the big 5 special thanks to each one of our local guides - - you all made a great trip absolutely unforgettable!! Also, the local masaai people are so so nice and welcomed us everywhere we went.
