A dedicated driver means a lot!
3/5

I picked Karibu Safaris based on reviews found on Internet. I had some questions concerning the 6-day safari Masaai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, and would like to have some answers before deciding whether to choose the 6-day safari or the 3-day safari to Masaai Mara. The email communication was not very professional and I was stuck without having the answers to all of my questions, just some of them.

I picked the 6-day safari. I was picked where I was staying in Nairobi. I was also brought back after the safari. That is a good and valuable service.

The actual safari tours were nice for someone who loves safari. The driver in Masaai Mara did not seem very interested in animals. Therefore, the experience could have been better. The safari in Lake Nakuru had a limited value except spotting the rhino which was not spottet in Maasai Mara. The driver in Amboseli was definitely the most dedicated one and did a good job. It was not his fault that Mount Kilimanjaro could not be seen due to thick clouds....

The 6-day safari is not recommendable unless you enjoy hours and hours of driving along the Kenyan roads. Driving from Nakuru in the morning, arriving in Nairobi in the afternoon and in Amboseli late in the evening was very tiresome. Instead of combining Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, I would suggest to combine Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru as one tour. Amboseli should rather be combined with Tsavo. That would reduce the driving along the road between the national parks.

We had an amazing trip! From the beginning, Robert was quick to respond to emails, answer questions, and give advice. Our driver Fredrick was terrific. It was our first trip to Kenya and I hope to return someday. Thank you Robert and Fredrick for making us feel welcome and sharing your beautiful country with us

Life Time Experience!
5/5

Planning a trip of a lifetime, one has many questions and worries of the trip outcome. On contacting Robert , he put all my worries to rest and gave me an assurance that my trip was going to be enjoyable.
My questions were answered promptly and to the minute.

Come the big day, and just as promised, we had a friendly and patient driver (TOM)who answered all our questions and told us a few myths and jokes within the region. We were lucky to see big five, a thing many tourists are not lucky to come across on most occasions.
Karibu safaris has a Professional and a Formidable team. If there was any moment i would think of going back to Kenya, i will definitely use them and so would anyone who wants to make that lifetime dream become a reality.

5/5

I have been on safari twice with (Karibu safaris in kenya), the first time with a friend and the second with my parents. Both times were wonderful. Tom our guide was great and the accommodations too. Of course, the Mara lived up to our expectations and then some. All in all a wonderful trip. The next time I go on safari I will definitely go with KARIBU SAFARIS. They are great!

I organized my holiday 4 days before leaving. I was in a hurry. Prices on web were super high. I called Safaris in Kenya. They were able to satisfy my needs in a professional, cheap and fast way.

Great Safari
5/5

My friend and I booked a three-night safari with Karibu Safaris . Our guide Fredrick picked us up at the Nairobi airport and after a pleasant drive we ended up in Masai Mara. We stayed at a midrange tented camp, but other options would have been available if our budget was larger. Our guide proved an excellent companion and knowledgeable game guide. Further he had a rare quality among drivers. He was both fast and cautious and navigated the dirt roads with remarkable efficiency. On our trip we saw a large number of different species often at very close range.will definitely recommend karibu safaris to my friends doing Kenya safari in the future.

Fantastic Experience
5/5

I took a trip with Karibu safaris in kenya - coastal and beach trips(tsavo east and west). Both were great and aIso booked the 10 day/9 nights Group joining safari trip with them. I thought the camp sites in Tanzania & Kenya were fantastic - definitely exceeded my expectations. Ken the cook - I have to agree - he's a fantastic cook; I always looked forward to his creations. I think Karibu safaris offers top notch trips for a bargain price.
