Great value for money
We went on a 3-day safari in Masai Mara. The tour was really good value for money and it lived up to our expectations. Our driver/guide, Isaac, was excellent and we saw many animals, including numerous lions and even cheetah and leopard. The accommodation was good and there were enough food and water throughout the tour. All in all, we were really satisfied and can recommend the company.

Beautiful safari experience at a reasonable price
Compared to other tour operators, Karibu offers a good safari tour at a reasonable price. I got to see the main animals that I expected to see. The driver, James, made sure we saw everything and stopped for us to take loads of pictures. He also helped me deal with the accommodation manager when I wanted to move to a different room. He drove very skillfully too as our van never got stuck in any mud like a few other vans. He got good relationships with other drivers and communicated with them all the time when they saw animals anywhere so we could go there and see the animals. In addition to this, James gave useful travel advice when I asked him. The accommodation at Rhino Tourist Camp was ok, even though electricity was quite limited but well you are in the nature. The bathroom was okay though there was a bit of dirt. I slept in their tent on the first night and one of the rooms on the second night. The room was a bit more comfortable than the tent. When I was in the tent, I got bothered by bugs and mosquitoes a bit at night, though the tent was well covered. The only socket in the tent was too small for my big plug adapter to fit in. However I didn't have these problems in the room. Overall, I am happy with my safari tour.

Very good experience
Our safari week in Kenya's reserves was very good, we have been lucky and well taken into national parks with our guide Jackson. Price/accomodation rate was really fair and the van and meals as well.
Very quick Robert's answering our emails and he even planned a last minute safari afternoon inside Nairobi Nat Park exactly as requested

Very good value for money!
We did a 6 day budget safari with Karibu safaris. We Went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Amazing safaris! Prepare for long days in the car though, Kenya is a vast country and traffic is slow.
We chose Karibu safaris due to the reviews on safaribooking.com and everything went according to plan. Our guide was very keen on showing us everything important and we saw so many amazing things! A trip of a lifetime!
As we were travelling on a budget the accomodation was budget and the bathrooms of low standard, not always warm water, toilet that might not flush etc etc. But it was fine for five nights.
The food was plenty but not always super tasty according to our nordic palate. Bring a few bags of crisps and you'll do fine.
I would reccomend that you get a written contract that specifies what's included in your trip and bring it on your tour. We didn't have a problem but other guests (maybe other tour operators, not sure) had discussions about transfers to the airport etc.
Over all I would highly reccomend this safari if you're on a tight budget but want to see as much as possible and don't mind low standard accomodation.
It was an amazing experience with Karibu Safaris travelling three countries...
All the arrangements including travel, accomodation, safari were excellent. I do recommend you all Karibu Safaris.

VERY good value for money with dedicated staff
we had a four day safari to the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru.
In particularly the Maasai Mara was most impressive - and our guide, Joshua, was super!
He stayed in constant communication with other guides and ensured we got the most of the game drives.
Options were a boat trip on Lake Naivasha and a visit to a genuine Maasai village - we did both and it truly enriched our experience!
The accommodation at Maasai Mara was good, whereas the hotel in Nakuru was very basic.
The package included food, which was ample and we enjoyed the local flavors very much!
overall a tour operator definitely to be recommend!
When back in Kenia we will use them again.

Great experience with fun people
Very good. Food was good and tour was good. Saw many animals
A wonderfull 5-day Safari to three different places seeing plenty of animals at close range.
We were very satisfied with our 5-day Safari. Massai Mara was definitely the highlight. The Nakuru park was a worthwhile addition as well as the Hell's Gate Gorge in Naivasha. The 45 minutes boat trip on lake Naivasha however was not worth the additional costs of 20 USD per person.
Accommodation and food was fine. Our guide was very knowledgeable on wildlife , culture, an excellent driver and a very pleasant person.
