we did a 6 day private safari from Nairobi to Mombasa (Masai Mara-Lake Naivasha-Amboseli-Tsavo). The safari was amazing and very beautiful. However I want to point out that we slept every night in a different place than those indicated on the agency's website (without having been notifed before) and the guide we had was only a driver, because he didn't explain anything to us during the safari, he only showed us where the animals were.

Absolutely recommended for Budget travellers
Raymond , our driver and guide was very helpful, friendly and accommodative. They mentioned in the website and over email that they will arrange accommodation in Enchoro Wildlife Camp, which was a false notification. Though the camp which they made us stay was equally good in terms of safety and the host staffs. In terms of the accommodation arrangements, tents were descent, food was good and staff was very friendly.
In terms of the whole trip , the game drives were very well arranged by Raymond. He was trying his best for the travellers to take plenty of photographs or view with binoculars. The lady who was cordinating in Kenya was also professional and catered to things like arranging cabs to the airport etc.
*If you are looking for a jungle like stay in a tent with the feel of the jungle around local people, then go for it. But if your needs prioritise luxury accommodation and resort type stay, this is not for you.*

The tour guide is really bad
We did not have a good experience with Karibu Safaris In Kenya since our tour guide Edward was really bad and not engaged at all. He did not communicate anything to us about anything during the transportation. And during the safari he did not tell us anything about any animal or anything. We had to find all the animals ourselves and when we asked him to stop so that we could take photos of the animals we noticed he got annoyed all the time. We expected more from a guide, basically he was just a driver who could not communicate and he slept in the car every chance he got, not professional at all.

Great
Our safari tour in the various national parks was great. The guides were great, they listened to us and made sure we had an unforgettable experience. We were a little surprised that we were in a group with people who had booked other tours, so we had to change groups once, but that wasn't a problem. Apart from one thing, the organization worked very well. We stated that we wanted to be dropped off at the border with Tanzania after the tour. Our second guide didn't know anything about this, so it had to be organized at short notice, but it worked out. Robert always responded reliably.

AMAZING
Karibu provided a thrilling safari experience with an energetic and kind tour guide and driver (all in one person!). T
However there is only one note : during our sixth day to Amboseli, we arrived late and supposedly to stay in one camp, in Nyati camp. However , it was full and we had to be escorted to 30 minutes drive place , a building where we stay with societies living nearby. It was dissapointing because we did not know about the full capacity of the camp and no communication made byKaribu to escort us to different place.
Another one is the lunch place during the third and fourth day in Naivasha and Nakuru. We went there for three times and the menu were all the same. It could be changed to other menu supposedly.
But overall, other than that, everything is excellent.

This tour operatorexceeded all expectations, providing exceptional service
I recently had the pleasure of touring with Collins, who served as both our guide and driver, and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From the very beginning, Collins stood out with his professionalism, warmth, and deep knowledge of the area.
As a driver, Collins was outstanding. We always felt safe and comfortable, even on the more challenging roads. His driving was smooth, and he was punctual, ensuring that we arrived on time to all of our destinations without ever feeling
I highly recommend Collins to anyone looking for a memorable and seamless tour experience. He truly made our trip unforgettable!

Collin was very friendly and professional.
The tour was excellently organised. Our guide (Collins) was very professional, he always knew what to do and paid attention to our requests. He shared a lot of information about everything we asked. The car was always clean and he was always on time. I would gladly recommemd this tour to anybody.

Great experience when climbing Mt. Kenya
Everything was flawless! They picked me up at a hotel, took to the office and then we headed to Mount Kenya NP. We went Sirimon route both directions. Kelvin was a great guide, helped me with everything I needed, chief Martin cooked delicious meals and we made it to the peak to see the sunrise at Point Lenana. I can not but recommend these guys, 10 out of 10.
