Excellent guide tour
We have a five-day safari combining Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, and Lake Nakuru. It was a wonderful trip. The accommodation and tour plan are all well organized. Our drive and guide Raymond is very professional and hardworking. He drove us the whole way and guided us to see a lot of animals. We had a lot of opportunities to film animals in very close distance. It was fantastic to see animals in this way. I think it is a good experience to be with Karibu safari.

Raymond was too too too good
We had the best time. Our tour guide Raymond was too too too good. We were a group of 7 and we had such an amazing time. He showed all the types of animal.

Excellent budget safari with all big 5 spotted
My wife and I are pleased with the budget 7-day safari of Masai Mara, lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate and Amboseli.
Clinton our guide & driver in the safari served us professionally and always drive safely throughout. We didn't even get carsick despite the long drives on sometime bumpy road. He also always give clear instruction (when & where to gather, what is upcoming etc) and organised manner to make our safari trip smooth.
With his guidance, we were very happy to see all the big 5, even the leopard which is rather elusive, for which he made sure that we reach it quickly (but safely) upon hearing the radio chatter.
All the extra costs (for boat trip & walking in Crescent Island / L. Naivasha) and cycling Safari are clarified in advance.
We had plenty of food through the trip (drink is extra). When departing Nairobi, do stock up on some snacks and a bit of extra water if you'd like as it will be more expensive in the transit stops / camps.
If there are points to improve it would be:
- during Masai Mara part, there were 8 pax vs 7 seats (1 pax need to sit beside the driver for the journey, but understandably in the park everyone would like the 'open roof' access so we kind of juggle / take turns for the 7 seats at the back). Naturally, it would be more comfortable if the back part of the van does have 8 seats (which another van does in a 3-2-3 config instead of our 2-2-3), or stick to the original 7 pax.

Most amazing and attentive Edward we've ever met!!!
Edward has been our tour guide across Kenya in June 2023 - he picked us up directly from Nairobi Airport to start our safari adventure in Amboseli, from there we headed to Tsavo and Taita Hills, and finished our amazing trip in Diani beach.
Throughout the entire time, Edward has been nothing but accommodating of our needs, extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife as well as customs and culture.
He has made sure we saw and did everything we wanted to during a very limited time frame whilst advising us on how to improve certain parts of our itinery to make our experience even better to see and enjoy the real Kenya (this was upon our request of course). He also organised a tour of Maasai Village for us as a new addition to our plans.
Overall, he's gone over and above to make us feel welcome and have the best time, which we utmost appreciated.
I will be contacting Edward again when planning our next trip for any recommendation or simply as my first point of call. Here's to another unforgettable adventure!
Highly recommend!!!

Excellent!I would repeat
I had to change the dates of my trip several times due to personal issues and they were very flexible. We did a 6 days safari which was very well-organized and Ken our driver was super helpful and patient! Hotels were really nice especialyy AA Lodge. The only thing I would change would be our lunch, as in hotels gave us a box and we would have prefered to eat in a buffet, if possible.

Very professional
We had a really good experience with Karibu Safari Kenya. They were very professional, always on time and everything worked as planned. The best part about our safari was our driver Raymond. He had a lot of knowledge and was very determined looking for the animals in the park. He was very nice professional and we felt really safe with him.

Friendly, reliable, attentive.
Karibu Safaris was all around great. Front he very start, they were accommodating. I had questions prior to booking and they were prompt and helpful. I left my a belonging at my hotel and my driver Edward Lore helped me retrieve it. Edward was very trustworthy and I felt safe the entire time. He was helpful answering questions along the route and communicating with us helped us feel comfortable.
We chose the budget safari and it was appropriate for us. The van was slower than the other vehicles/ land rovers were in the park. But we enjoyed the journey instead of speeding to the next animal scene.
Thank you Edward, we hope to see you again sometime!

Percecf Mt Kenya with Kevin & Maron
I did the 4 day trip to Mt Kenya and sumitted Lenana peak. Karibu organised transport to & from the mountain which went very smoothly but the best part of the trip was my guide Kevin and chef Maron. Kevin was excellent, great to chat to about life, Kenyan culture and park wildlife etc. Maron cooked the most incredible and plentiful meals and together they created an excellent experience for me. They went above and beyond - Setting up my tent, setting up cute lunch locations en route and made the trip the best. Communication before the tour was great answering questions and good value for money.
