It was awesome! Best value for the money!
Bardzo Polecam! Nasz kierowca i przewodnik Kewin, zrobił super robotę. Wzięliśmy 7 dniowe safari i szczerze mówiąc obawialiśmy się co dostaniemy w budżetowej opcji, ale śmiało mogę powiedzieć, że wycieczka przerosła nasze oczekiwania. Kewin był zawsze dla nas dostępny i pomocny. Zobaczyliśmy bardzo dużo zwierząt, nawet białego i czarnego nosorożca. Pojeździliśmy rowerem po ptaku narodowym Hell’s gate i zwiedziliśmy wioskę Masajów w Masai Mara. Noclegi były wygodne i w akceptowalnym standardzie. Zawsze była ciepła woda i moskitiera żeby ochronić od komarów. Jedzenie smaczne ale monotonne, przy czym należy zaznaczyć, że to kwestia rejonu, a nie wycieczki. Wszystko było dopracowane i mieliśmy zapewnione wszystko co jest potrzebne. Raz Kewin zaproponował zmianę planu ze względu na ilość pozostałego czasu i był to strzał w 10! Dzięki temu mieliśmy super pogodę jeżdżąc na rowerach, a czas kiedy padało spędziliśmy w samochodzie w drodze do parku Amboseli. Jedyna rzecz jaka bym zmienił to nocleg w Nakuru, bo odbiegał czystością i jedzeniem od reszty. Podsumowując - świetne doświadczenie i bardzo polecam.

Highly recommended! Our driver and guide, Kewin, did an excellent job. We opted for a 7-day safari, and honestly, we were a bit concerned about what we would get in the budget option, but I can confidently say that the trip exceeded our expectations. Kewin was always available and helpful. We saw a lot of animals, including both white and black rhinos. We cycled through the Hell's Gate National Park and explored a Maasai village in the Masai Mara. The accommodations were comfortable and in an acceptable standard. There was always hot water and mosquito nets to protect us from mosquitoes. The food was tasty but a bit repetitive, although it's worth noting that it's more a regional issue than a problem with the tour. Everything was well-planned, and we had everything we needed. At one point, Kewin suggested a change in the itinerary due to the remaining time, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision! Thanks to that, we had great weather while cycling, and the time it rained, we spent in the car on our way to Amboseli Park. The only thing I would change is the accommodation in Nakuru, as it was not as clean, and the food was not up to par with the rest. In summary, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it.

It was great! Best value for the money
We had a special request - 4 nights on safari and Mt. Kenya trek. It was planned all according to our wishes. Our safari guide and driver (Kasper) was great. He was able to find all the animals. Most of the time he was the first! He was able to get really close to the animals. Best choice.
Mt. Kenya trek turned out great as well. Our guide Kevin got us up and down safely.
If we go to Kenya or our friends again, we will always recommend KARIBU!

Overall great experience
Karibu office has been very reactive and provided good service, we were overall happy with the itinerary and accommodations. Our guide Richatd was experienced and went out of his way to make our safari a success and show us as many animals as possible.
It’s a budget safari - expectations regarding accommodation and food should be accordingly moderate.
For us, only the first accommodation, Miti Mingi Eco Camp near Masai Mara was truly below any standard and we recommend seeking an alternative solution.
Nonetheless, would def recommend this tour!
Karibu Safaris went to great lengths to ensure we saw everything we could expect and more.
Raymond, our Karibu Safari driver, never stopped being on the lookout for views and scenes to add to our day. He backed this up with informed comments as well. Even when we thought we'd seen everything we were likely to see in a day he kept the radio communications open and scanned the vegetation for animals we would never have spotted without his eagle eye. We are grateful to him - he exceeded our expectations.

Excellent guide Edward, responsibility and fast communication with the company
If I compare this company with other safaries which I have an experience (2 other), this is definitely the best. Main reasons: good and fast communication, time responsibility and responsibility at all. We have a very successful trip to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli.
Special thanks is for guide and driver Edward. He's really professional guide and driver. He has a big knowledge about african nature. He can easily explain you every question you have about it because it's also his hobby. For birdwatchers like me I definitely recommended to take this guide. He is also very responsible driver. We've seen many safari cars stuck in the mud because of big rain. Once he helped one car to put out from the mud. Many times went through much more muddy roads and we didn't stuck. He kept the car clear after every dirty driving. He went to preventing check the car for avoid a problem. He drove more than 8 hours in this horrible kenyan traffic situation, no problem, hakuna matata.

Amazing safari experience
Service is nice, good value. We joined middle range tour, but one hotel facility (only shower ) was so poor.
We had unforgettable holiday in Kenya. Thank you for our guide Edward. He tried him best to get all of us happy!

Amazing Experience
It was an amazing experience to visit Kenya for 7 days.
Loved every moment we spent there.
Out first guide "Raymond" was really nice and helpful.
He helped to spot majority of animals in Masai Mara on our first day only.
Food quality was a bit disappointing most of the time, as it was monotonous.
