Everything goes smoothly and I saw everything i want!
Karina is great! I was alone but the group I joined in the last few day of my tour was amazing. People come from all over the world we chat at the fireside night. The camp manager was super friendly in masai Mara. Our driver was professional after long hours drive he also spotted the animals. I will come back for sure, thank you !

Most affordable tour operator I found
I took an budget tour of masai mara, nakuru and amboseli for 6 days.
It was cheaper compared to other operators.
Stay. Basic bed and food. No complaints bcoz I don't seek luxury
Safari. Joseph was an amazing tour guide he was with us for 4 days. Land cruiser had no complaints.
They club as much people to make it cheaper for everyone. I had no issues with sharing. Also when everyone itinerary is different you get changed to other vehicles. Again it doesn't matter everything went smooth. Only thing was proper communication about everything. Anyways I didnt mind.
Overall a good option for budget travel

Terrible experience
Our experience with Karibu Safari Kenya was terrible. The accomodations were very different than the ones that were promised by the company, we discussed the issue with the company and they didn't even know that our driver was taking us to different hotels, much cheaper and with much worse conditions than the ones that we actually paid for. We demanded a refund and it's been weeks and they don't even reply to us. The driver was very rude, the itinerary was constantly changing and it was very different than the one settled for us by the company. We only enjoyed a full day of safari in Masai Mara and there was a day where we just spend the entire morning driving from Masai Mara to Lake Nakuru and spent the entire afternoon in the hotel room as the driver refused to take us in a morning game drive in Masai Mara claiming that there was "no time".
The company doesn't deliever what is promised and they don't even try to compensate us or to do service recovery. The company nor the driver were not professional AT ALL being very rude to us. I felt that I paid for a 3 day safari and only enjoyed 1 day, not worth at all.
If I could go back I would book it with another company

Very good in all ways
Sinds we had a cancelling of an other operator we experienced a very short timeframe to find an alternative. The communication was fast, clear and everything was arranged the day before we left. We are very happy to have this experience. Very good tour, better value for money rate than the canceled tour. We had a wonderful time, have seen a lot. Thanks to Peter and Kevin! Accomodation, foods and everything was also good.

Experienced and trustful
This agency is amazing, specially my guide Sam. I have climbed Mount Kenia and everything was perfect. Sam is an experienced guide and the greatest human being. Totally recomended.

Our safari was better than we could have hoped for
We went on a safari through Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East. During this safari we encountered hundreds of elephants and a lot of other animals. Cheetahs, leopards, buffalo's, lions, warthogs, giraffes, hyena's,... The lodges were nice and often offered an amazing view on the plains. Our driver Steven was very friendly and shared a lot of information about both wildlife and Kenyan culture.

Amazing experience that everyone must have at least once in their life!
During the 6 days of safari (2 days in Masai Mara, 1 day in Nakuru and 2 days in Amboseli) we saw a lot of wild animals and could observe their natural behavior. The drivers were very polite and funny and answered all our questions about the animals. Sleeping in tents was also a great experience. While lying in the tent, a group of Banded mongoose suddenly ran through the middle of the camp - it was like a fairy tale!

In general good service - communication can be better
In general there were no major problems. The driver was knowledgeable. Accommodation was very good. It was a good value tour.
My only recommendation for this operator is to improve its communication. As a traveler it is always good what to expect in terms of date, times and payments. In this area they partially met my expectations.
