Efficient and trustworthy
We were late booking our safari to Masai Mara, and worried that it would not be possible to go on such short notice and in peak season. We called them and it was very easy to book. They sent an email with a link to pay the deposit via credit card, the balance we paid in MPESA. Pick up was on time. The driver was very skilled. We saw all the animals we were hoping to see, even rhino (we were told we were very lucky but we think it was thanks to the guide who was always listening on the radio and communicating with the other drivers. The accommodation was simple but adequate. Food was good. It was great value for money - this safari was quite a bit cheaper than the alternatives but in our opinion better. The company was easy to reach and they replied quickly to our questions. The tour was amazing and so much better than we were hoping for!

Best guide!
Our guide / driver was incredible, had no complaints about accommodation and seems to be a very good price. We saw the big 5 in one day and have no complaints. Honest and efficient!

Great value safari!
We did the 6-day safari through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. Overall the itinerary was good but a little too long. It involves a lot of driving to get to and back from Amboseli. I’d recommend a shorter tour and prioritize Masai Mara. Although getting to see Mt Kilimanjaro from Amboseli was worth the long drive. We didn’t see as many animals in Lake Nukuru. You couldn’t get as close to the animals as in Masai Mara. I was hoping to see more flamingos but it may not have been the season.
Karibu is a solid tour operator. They offered their home stay apartments for our one night in Nairobi before the safari started. They covered the driving from the airport and to/from the start of the safari. Their communication was fine... I found I had to probe and ask a lot for details. It would have been better if they had an itinerary or set expectations the day before the trip. The planning at times felt rushed or last minute with the camp managers.
The safari driver, Edward, was good as well. He showed us a lot in Masai Mara but I think he got tired as the tour went on.
Since we picked the budget option, the accommodations were as expected. Simple tented camps but unreliable hot water. If you want better accommodations I’d sprint for the pricier tours.
For the money, I think the safari was great value! We saw a lot of animals and felt we got the full safari experience from the trip.
It was near to perfect , from owner to driver
They were in number one in tripadvisor so I got the number and the owner was in communication with me throughout, I think owner name was Richard we decided to shorten the tour from 7 to 6 day when we were in your but owner offered us refund he even helped us to book taxis for our tea farm tours , Raymond the driver was really nice guy , camps were budget but William in ambosili was very welcoming , talkative and hospitable , me and my friend had great time

Amazing tour
This tour was simply amazing. One of the best trips that we have ever done. Kenya is an absolutely stunning country and it was made even better with Castro and Maurice. The care and detail put into our itinerary was phenomenal. They went above and beyond to make it special even when things out of their control happened e.g. our flight was delayed and we had torrential rain and they straight away made alternative plans for us. The accomodation was exactly what we wanted and the location beside the Masai Mara and right in the park was incredible. We had so much fun, learned so much and had experiences we will never forget. Thank you Castro and Maurice for making this tour so special, from the different parks, to memorable picnics to answering our thousands of questions. We definitely recommend them and would use them again if we get to go back!

We have seem them all!
Raymond and Kevin were our guides on our 6 day safari through Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. Thanks to them we have seen the “big five” and much more. Highlight of the trip was definitely leopard feeding on his prey on the tree. We really appriciated an extra effort to get us as close and to as many animals as possible. Thank you guys!
