Nice budget safari
Everything was quite well organized. The worst was the food, which was quite bad. The accommodation was good and the guide ok (neither bad nor amazing).

Great tour with anoying start and ending due to bad organisation
First of all to start of, we really have to say our driver (Jackson) did his best to show us all the animals Kenya has to offer! Coming with that, the driving was a little crazy sometimes, but he always seemed to have everything under control. Nevertheless, it would have been nice, to get some inforamtion about why we are driving this fast or that the game drive is finished now.
About the accomodations: food didn't really changes over the 6 days of safari and warm water wasn't usual eighter. Still, what can you expect for this same price.
Talking about the price, what sense does it make to have to pay it cash?! We were two peple and had to carry a big pack of money in our pockets while running through half of Nairobi to get to the office... Organisation before and after the tour failed completely... more than that, the guy didn't really care about us so it was hard to trust..
But still, the price was cheap and we did enjoy the safari with all the animals and landscape

Very exciting and cheerful experience
The safari was very nice. We have seen so many amazing scenes of wildlife and our driver and assitant have done everything to make the experience amazing. Raymond and Dan are very polite and funny guys!
The only thing i would notice is that the car cod ve better maintained so that our safari would be a way better! Definately recommend Karibu.
Well organized. We saw the real wildlife
One of the cheapest safari. There was every things to spent good time. Amazing experience

unknown become known
My stay was good and enjoyed the trip very much, some of my observation for improvements are the Hotel food availability ( 1st two nights stay) was a concern as late comers were short of food at the Buffet, the room was good but the bathrooms needs improvement, My special appreciation to the driver(Issac) he was a great help and you should retain such dedicated employees. Overall we enjoyed the tour very much.

Amazing experience
Masai Mara - 5*
Lake Nakuru - 5*
Amboseli - 2* (in spite of the park being amazing)
As previously arranged with the agency, a driver was in the airport to pick us up and to take us to the safari van in Nairobi to meet our driver Kenn and proceed to Masai Mara. In Masai Mara the overall experience was amazing. In Lake Nakuru the experience was also great and had a night in a nice budget hotel. Regarding Amboseli, we arrived there in the night of the 4th day. They gave us the last tent they had. Unfortunately, the conditions were not acceptable. The tent had a huge rip, the bathroom leaking water and the whole tent full of mosquitoes. We had to ask for another tent and a cleaner tent without bathroom was provided. It was the worse night in the whole safari and the reason why we don't submit 5 stars. The next day we went to the park (very nice), saw the mount Kilimanjaro from the camp in the end of afternoon (great view!) and we were provided with a tent with much better conditions (but still, the bed was quite broken in the middle). Here, we would like to put a nice word to our driver Kenn that made an effort for us to get the best tent! Unfortunately probably someone else had to stay in the tent we rejected the previous day. The agency has the responsibility to pressure the camp management to provide and guarantee the necessary conditions. In spite of being a budget tent, minimums are required. The return to Nairobi went well.

A driver guide can make a safari trip be amazing: Wnjau (Animal) is just great!
The experience of 7 days of safari has been very positive, we have enjoyed it a lot and we had a great time. The only thing we did not like is that water was included in the price of the safari and we didn't see those bottles arrive, it seems that no one had them. They only gave us 3 litres for 2 people for the whole week ... Everything else perfect, very happy!

Incredible experience
I would like give them a 5 in the rating but there was a few things that may be better. I start to thank Robert from Karibu that helped us the first night staying at his home and breakfast only 4 hours between the arriving and the start of the journey. We had a guide Maxwell. He was great and wanted us to see everything and very close to the animals. He drove us in the safe way people drive in Kenya. He explained us which animals we had in front and stopped every time we asked him. With patience we could see a lot of animals and in the first row of the show!!! During the journey our schedule was changed and we pointed out that it was not really what we had in the beginning. They tried to give us the best service however it was too much trip for us getting back from the border to Naivasha and back to the border. I do appreciate their help but if you go through the planning again with the company is the best advice I can give, checking the hotels that were agreed on the beginning and if there is any chance let you know. I do recommend Karibu and Maxwell. They can make your trip interesting in a beautiful country as Kenya.

Really enjoyable
We were well looked after and I didn't have to pay a single supplement which was a big plus. It was a little disappointing to not be forewarned about the vastly reduced flamingo numbers at Lake Nakuru.
