Well organized and enjoyable safari trip for 6 days.
Very enjoyable experience. Everything went fine as planned. Robert, the trip advisor, was very helpful in answering our questions before our arrival. Ambrose, our driver-guide, was professional and friendly. He answered our questions and shared with us nice curiosities about animal’s wildlife during the safari.
If I have to be picky, the only negative aspect is that we had to wait about 45 min before somebody came to pick us at the airport.

Everything worked as promised. No complains.
First guide Ambros was excellent. Wery knowing asked allways can we start the car, have all finished photoshooting etc. Also Kobra was helpfull and knowing. Rhino camp was better than expected. Amboseli camp worse. Lake Nakuru really had only Rhinos and Rothschilds giraffes. Cars are a bit too crowded when 6-7 people in. Max 5.
Would leave Nakuru out next time.
Can and will reccommend.

Great trip.
Communications were good although we did feel a little uneasy paying by cash in a room several floors up. Picked up on time .
Our driver Arony was excellent. Camp although different from one expected (Daisy Eco camp) was good.

Excellent budget safari
Overall the safari was great. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we saw so many animals. We were picked up from our Airbnb outside of Nairobi and driven to the office the morning we departed. The amenities at the camps outside the parks were not luxurious, but certainly adequate. The food was substantive and lunch was provided each day, as promised, while on game drives or driving between parks. Communicating with Robert was very easy as he was very responsive. One thing to be aware of is that if you’re doing a multi-day safari visiting different parks then one day may not include a game drive, but just driving between parks. We did a 5 day safari to Masai Mara and Amboseli, which actually was 1.5 day drives in each park. The morning of first (6 HRs) and all day of third day was driving (11.5 hrs). That’s inevitable because of the distance - but whereas some safaris may fly you into the parks, this safari route is all driving. Also, with these types of safaris you may be picking up and dropping off group members as not everyone is on the same schedule. We did encounter one miscommunication where our transportation to Mombasa wasn’t as we expected. We actually had to backtrack a few hours and pick up an intercity bus for 8 hours to get to our destination, where as we thought the Safari van or transport associated with the safari would bring us there. It was a bit of an added stressor and if we had known it was a public bus we may have arranged other transportation for that last day. All in all it was a great adventure, and a great deal for what you get, but just make sure to be clear on transportation and your agenda!

Great safari with great guide
Overall we had an excellent safari experience in large part due to our driver, Arony. This may be a budget safari, using a van instead of a Land Cruiser, but thanks to Arony we saw just as many if not more animals, and got as close to the animals as possible. He was a wealth of knowledge about the parks and animals, and also protective of us, making sure no one was charged for the bathroom at a rest stop where someone was trying to take advantage of tourists. We also want to know his skin care routine because he claims he’s 52 but doesn’t look a day over 30.

Really good Tour Operator!!
I had a best time in the safari! thank you to the Tour Operator Karibu Safari In Kenya. They did a great job, the communication was good since the beginning by email or by phone until the end of the safari.
After the safari i left my luggages to their office, and I had the chance to visiting Nairobi with one of a person of the agency, she did very good and did know very well the history and the momuments of the city.
Then, they ordered a taxi for me and drove me to my hotel at the airport. They did not charged me for these (visit of the city and taxi) which was very nice from them!!
Thank you Robert and all the staff members there were very kind and helping me with my luggages anytime. I do recommend the Tour Operator Karibu Safari In Kenya!!! :-)

Great Experience
I had a fantastic time on my safari. My tour guide, Maxwell, was very professional and knowledgable, and the entire trip was organized very well. My only complaint is that two people were added to our safari on the second day, meaning there were 8 people in our vehicle which was cramped and resulted in not everyone having a window seat. Otherwise I would highly recommend Karibu Safaris!

Excellent / well organized
It was perfect, i contacted the agency with Whassap 1 week before coming to Nairobi.
I planned everything by Whassap with the agency, and everything happened as I expected. The program was repected.
The safari tour is an amazing experience but i want to focus about the organization and how well it was.

Good teem and very nice people
We had a 6-day safari with Karibu: Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli. Our guide was Maxuel - the best guide-driver and very nice person! He did everything so that we could see Big 5 and other animals and as a result, we saw all of Big 5!!! Also, we thank him a lot for all the information and stories, he told us about animals, country and its traditions!!!
What I would like to mention apart is the help of Karibu Safaris team with our lost baggage. They picked it up from the airport for us when it arrived and delivered to one of our stop on safari to make our stay much more comfortable.
This trip and safari as its part is an amazing experience we will never forget!!! Thanks to everybody, who made us happy!!!
