Amazing!
We got to see almost every African animal we could possibly think of(except rhinos, which are endangered:( and leopard which are super shy) up close and our driver did an incredible job. He was really experienced and always knew were to go. Our driver Clinton was also super friendly and helpful, and always on time! He really made sure we were happy with evereything.

Three day-two night safari, lots of animals and driving
Really great tour of Maasai Mara, saw all big 5 animals and lots more. Lots and lots and lots of driving on bumpy roads at high speed. Took a toll on the body and was difficult to sit all day. Driver was excellent for finding animals but did not tell us much about the animals. Very friendly on the wallet.

We are very happy and completely satisfied with the tour. The safari was more than we have expected.
We are very happy and completely satisfied with the tour. In every moment the guide and driver, Aroni, was very worried about our comfort. He was really helpful and clear on his explanations.
Thanks to him we could see all the animals as possible, includes both types of rhino, lions, leopards, cheetah, elephants, giraffes, zebras, topi, wildebeest, hartebeest, warthog, buffalos, baboons, eland, gazelle (many types), ostrich, hippos and jackals.
We´ll recommend you and your services to everybody who want to visit Kenya.

Excellent Experience
First and foremost, Safari is one of the dreams that I want to accomplished while still young. Since Safari is only possible when you are in Africa, one of my perception is that you need to ensure that you are safe. Karibu has provided me everything that I need and I am overwhelmed about the services provided to us. First day of the trip was cool because we already saw some amazing animals and on the second day we already accomplished the big 5. We also went to Lake Naivasha which John suggested and is not part of the itinerary so it's a plus. I am grateful with John because everytime we see animals, we usually pause so we can see them clearly and take amazing photos. For me that is something special. I am a solo traveler and I am happy coz I am with good people. John was able to answer our queries during the trip and he provided information that we do not know about the species. I am looking forward to go back in Kenya with your Agency. Thank you so much for everything!

Great safari!
We had a great tour in Masai Mara. Although the drive from Nairobi to Mara and back is a lot, we were extremely happy and saw the Big5 and others. Our guide/driver Edward did amazing job in finding the animals and he is really kind&funny but he isn't the most talkative and would only share more details when asked. For me that was more than fine, but I'd assume that some people would enjoy of more interaction. The accommodation was a nice tented camp and food filling African stuff with possibilities to buy extra drinks or chocolate bars. Due the company's internal matters, our game drive on Sunday morning was cancelled but when requested we were organized additional program in Nairobi before our flight home. If we wouldn't have seen all the animals during the previous drives, that would have been a bigger deal but now we were satisfied with the compensation. Overall, excellent value for the money, truly student friendly and great experience!

Never got tired of seeing yet another zebra – next to the Big 4, giraffes, hippos, and so many other
We had the most amazing time on our 4-days safari tour to Masai Mara National Park and Lake Nakuru. We would have never expected to see as many animals and get as close to them as we did. We were only missing leopards, but that would have probably been too much to ask considering how lucky we were, overall. We especially appreciated our guide Edward driving very carefully and leading us to the best spots in the wilderness. As we were a group of only four, it almost felt like being on a private tour, which was great. Being invited to the Masai village to get an impression of the daily life there was an outstanding experience. It just would have been nice if somebody had told us before that we had to pay an extra entrance fee there. It was worth it, though!

Great safari. Saw everything we hopen for. Excellent value for money.
We had a wonderful safari with Karibu.
Robert was quick with answering our questions and made booking the whole thing easy. We went three days to Masai Mara and one day to Nakuru.
Our guide in Masai Mara (Edward) was very good, knew all the spots and managed to show us the big five all in one Day. Driving is sometimes a bit chaotic, but that is too be expected on rough roads. Never felt unsafe though.
Lake Nakuru was also beautiful. Very different compared to masai mara. We spotted the tree climbing Lions and a pack of White rhino's.
November was nice because we saw a lot of young animals such as a litter of lions, baby giraffe and baby elephants.
After the safari they made sure we got to our hotel which was quite hard to find but Dan stayed with us till we were safe under roof :)
5/5 would reccomend

Super safari trip and a great team
It was amazing safari journey! We had Patrick as a guide and he is so wonderful teller with a great humor! It was clear that he's experienced cause we often were the first on the place with animals. The safari trip was really good organized and very nice! We've met the great 5 and so many others! Me and my husband really enjoyed it.
I would like to share 2 short stories that show this team.
First, Karibu Safaris company organized a birthday cake during our stay in Naivashi. It was so nice and warm evening, thank you guys! Cake was very tasty! And we didn't expect that it will be free for us, thanks!
And another one. When safari was ended Patrick and the company proposed us to leave our bags in the office cause we had a bus to Malindi at 8 p.m. After we took our luggage at the evening we suddenly met the company boss (so sorry that we don't know his name!); he recognized us and was very surprised that we didn't have any accompanying person with us to go to bus station. He said it's not saved for us and called and paid 2 guys from company. He was so kind I can't express my feelings about that situation! The way was really crowd, dark and dangerous. This man said that he feel responsibility about their client every time! Thanks a lot you, Karibu Safaris!!
I recommend this company as very good and kind team with excellent organized safari and Patrick as the best guide!
