Excellent from start to finish!
We loved our African Safari experience. The 5-day, 4 night length was just right for us, as we got to experience three of Kenya's fantastic parks that all had something unique and different to offer. We saw so many amazing animals. We saw the big 5, the ugly 5, and many, many more!
Our guide was Raymond and he is an awesome driver. The off-roading and 4-wheeling was like an entire bonus experience because he was such an expert driver. He was helping other driver's with flat tires and being stuck in the mud, but we never got stuck. We loved Raymond! The hotels selected for our overnight stays were all top notch and service across the board was wonderful. From the first time we made our first inquiry, until we said good-bye to Raymond at the airport, the communication was timely and well done. We have a family of 5, and while at first I was a little disappointed we had two other people in the jeep with us, we actually had fun meeting new people and in the end made very good friends with one set of our safari mates. We thought the price was fair and would do it all again in a heartbeat. I would highly recommend the tour, the tour company and the tour guide.

Unforgettable emotions with Karibu Safaris
We had a 4 days safari trip with Karibu in October-November, 2024, visiting Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and lake Naiwasha. It was amazing!
The safari was well organized and planned from the initial communication via email (Robert always replied at once) to pick up and drop off. The shedule, the transport, the accomodations - everything was as stated in the contract. In Masai Mara we stayed at JAMBO MARA SAFARI LODGE and can recommend it, especially the glass house.
Our driver and guide Edward was very friendly and helful trying to organize the best game drives often ahead of other cars)) Edward was very attentive to our wishes, needs and our shedule. Thank you, guys, for a comfortable atmosphere, unforgettable emotions and views. We would definitely recommend Karibu Safaris!

Very good, guide Paul nice and knowledgeable.
Very good overall with some more than expected: day 3 plan is picnic lunch on the way back, but actually hot buffet lunch at transit hotel in Mai Maiu. Also give more opportunities to that hotel.
However , hotel pickup and drop off in the plan were not realized: we had to drag luggage to city market on day1 and from it on day3. Fortunately our hotel in Nairobi is close to the city market and light luggage, minor issue.

Karibu Safaris, particularly Robert, was friendly and efficient in arranging my tour to Ol Pejeta Co
I was undecided between Masai Maara and Ol Pejeta but I am very pleased with my decision! I had a friendly and informative guide, Mark, who knew lots about the wildlife and tree species! The whole experience was incredible and super fun- I got to see lots of wildlife in a serene and calm nature reserve! Thank you all!

Karibu safaris is well organized and client oriented operator
We had a 6day budget safari in December 2024 and we can only share positive thoughts. Our trip is 5/5 value for money, the tented camps/hotels were nicely chosen (nice and clean restaurants and friendly staff) and our drivers (Felix and Joseph) were top! They knew exactly where to take us to spot the animals (and always respecting them) and -most importantly- we felt safe when they were driving.

amazing
We were 4 friends and we chose the 2 nights and 3 days safari. Everything was really beautiful, more than a dream! Everything super clean, good and lots of food for breakfast. Also in those days it was my birthday and they left me a surprise in the room. 🥹 Everyone was very kind, super recommended!

Amazing Experience
We went on the seven day mid range safari with Karibu, which included Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli in October 2024 and had the most amazing experience. The tour was well organised and our guide Edward was the best, he ensured we got to see the big five and more. Some of the accommodation was disappointing for the mid range option, but overall I would highly recommend.

What we got from Karibu Safaris exceeded our expectations.
We bought a budget safari and thought that we would see few animals. But everything was very well organized. Thanks to our driver Geoffrey, because thanks to him we saw the big five in Masai Mara. Thanks also to Robert. He always helped with any questions.
