3 days 2 nights Masai Mara group safari
The 3 days 2 nights Masai Mara Safari was excellent.
We were picked up from our hotel by the team, even though it was not near the city center.
Our driver Sam drove very carefully, we felt very save with him. He also knew a lot about the Masai Mara and the animals living there. Thanks to him we got to see many animals like lions, cheetahs, elephants, leopards, buffalos, hippos and crocodiles. We could even do a walk along the river guided by a ranger.
Our accomodation was nice and the food from our cook was delicious typical kenyan food.
All in all everything was very well organized and we could enjoy our safari without having to worry about something

Awesome
We visited the Masai mara national park, Amboseli national park, Nakuru national park and Hellsgate national park with Karibu Safaris. We had great experience there. A guy named James was our driver cum guide. He was a very amiable person and I must say quite experienced as well. Among the big five we could not spot the leopard, but apart from that we did see many of the other animals. James took us to the right place at the right time.
I asked for quotations from quite a few travel agencies and Karibu offered the best rate. They were very prompt in answering our queries before our trip and we had a very smooth experience. The camps and hotels were pretty good and so was the food. Karibu also arranged airport transfers and budget hotels for us in Nairobi. I would highly recommend Karibu safaris for budget travellers.
One suggestion for future travellers...this is my personal view though. You may skip the Hellsgate national park. In that park, you would spot zebras, antelopes, buffaloes and warthogs only. However, you would see so many of them everywhere that you might find this park a bit boring. However, I would recommend to go for the boatride at Lake Naivasha. It was really cool and we saw many different types of birds.

Amazing Safari tour !
We had an amazing tour by our guide named Aroni. He knew the best timing and places and we saw all the animals. He was also very talkative and friendly and taking good care of us.

It was an amazing experience from start to finish.
I was referred by a friend so I already had high expectations and I wasn’t disappointed. From the pick up point to the transfer, everyone was really helpful, I met Sera during this period and she gave me an insight into what to expect etc. I also got to see the big 5 all in one day and our tour guide Edward was amazing, he literally went all out to ensure we saw everything. The tent was very clean and the meals were very tasty, we also got to interact with the Masai people and learn more about their culture. It was an amazing trip and I highly recommend to anyone that’s still trying to make their minds up.

Amazing experience!
My husband and I have just returned from the 5 day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha tour. This really was an incredible experience for us from start to finish.
We were picked up ans dropped off directly from where we were staying in Nairobi. Accomodation was as described. I felt comfortable and safe wherever we stayed.
We managed to see lots of animals and our tour guide James really went above and beyond to make sure we were at the best spots to see the animals.
We really have no complaints and would recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring this part of Kenya.
Thank you so much to the staff that supported us throughout our trip. James, Victor and Sera - you are brilliant!

My experiences with this tour operator was very positive at each step of the tour.
My expectations have been exceeded. It started with helpful and speedy correspondence before the tour and only got better after that. Our guide Arony was absolutely fantastic. He is very knowledgeable of the area and always ensured that we had the best experience possible. He consistently positioned us to allow us to see the animals from a fantastic vantage point and was so patient with us as we were being awed by the animals. There were long days of driving and he always answered us with a smile. It was a great trip.
