Amazing Experience
We took a 6-day Safari experience with Karibu Safaris and it was great. Everything from the initial booking, communication and of course Safari itself was smooth. We saw so a lot of animals and we got to see them close up. It was the experience of a lifetime. When I was a kid I loved watching National Geographic on TV. In this Safari I felt like I'm inside the TV. Our Guide (Jeff) was extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, animals, and birds.
I'm confident to give Karibu Safaris 5 Stars and I recommend it to everyone.

Raymond absolutely made it for us and was amazing
On our first day there was a bit of waiting around before getting out to the Masai Mara however our tour guide Raymond spent a lot of time and effort into allowing us to see the most amazing animals, including a Leopard! He absolutely made it for us and can’t thank him enough.

Excellent customer service and an excellent experience
Really great experience. The Masai Mara was amazing and also the Lake Nakuru. Saw all the big 5 which was incredible. Our driver and guide, Raymond, was fantastic. His spotting skills were second to none and due to his prompt response we saw a leopard which was a highlight

Great Kenyan Safari
We chose Karibu safari based on the ratings on the internet ratings and it did not disappoint much, although I would like the itinerary to have been more well managed in terms of timings and accommodative with our flight timings. Nevertheless it was a memorable safari for us, mainly thanks to our guide/driver Haroon was very professional and well experienced.
He seems to be very well versed with the routes inside all the parks and taking us to the right spots to show us the elusive animals like leopard and cheetah. His experience counted when he was able to get our vehicle at the right angles to get great view of the animals. We had one excellent moment in Nakuru park when few Lions walked as a group right in front of our vehicle. great memories to take back.
Also the accommodations arranged were all great along with the food, although I cannot say the same about the picnic food boxes, most of them weren't that great.

Excellent service
We’re very thankful for the great service and experience.
We booked 4 days and 3 nights with Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. We were picked up on time and Mark (our driver and guide) showed and explained everything to us. We highly recommend him. He was all the time very attentive, giving his best so we could have the best angles for our photos. We saw many animals, the accommodation was appropriate and breakfast and dinner were good. However, I would suggest to bring some snacks, because the lunch on tour wasn’t really satisfying. Anyway we would recommend it a hundred percent to book with this company.

Great private safari adventure
We booked a 6 day private safari for 2 people and got what we have paid for. The schedule was followed according the descriotion. Moreover we got a cool 4x4 safari jeep instead of a bus and 2 guides for the whole trip instead of just one. Thus we felt very exclusively looked after.
Communication upfront was very good. Even changes to our schedule were possible in short notice. As our flight was delayed we had to change pick up locations which was not a proplem.
Our main driver guide was Edward. He is a very experienced and knowledgeable driver guide. While others were struggeling with some tricky road conditions he always mastered them perfectly. He also brought us very closely to the animals in the parks like lions, long necks, elephants, leopards,... and made sure we see all of them.
Some hints for a great memorable adventure:
Stock up with drinks and some snacks before your board the safari vehicle.
Book a private tour if you can afford it.
If you book a budget tour don't expect a luxury tour. Having this in mind the tour definitely exceeded our expectations. All in all it was a great value for money.

Fantastic and chill safari
We booked 2 days before. Communication was great via WhatsApp. Kevin was our guide and driver and did an excellent job. Saw an incredible amount of animals in 4 days and was both excited and chilled at the right times. Totally recommend.
