Great experience for the price
Karibou Safaris provided a great experience overall, especially considering the price - $630 US for a six day trip including Masai Mara (excellent), Lake Nakuru (much better than expected), and Amboseli (very good). Emails were very responsive and answered all questions. Service was overall very good. Our driver Peter did an excellent job explaining the plan for the day and ensuring we got the most out of our safari. We were fortunate to see so many animals, including the “big 5”. Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru I consider “must see” parks. Amboseli is also interesting primarily to see lots of elephants with Kilimanjaro in the back ground, though there are other animals to see there too. Our vehicle was a 2WD Toyota van with pop up roof. Adequate but needed towing twice in the worst muddy spots. 4WD would be better. Lots of driving but there are good things to see even on pure travel days like the optional Masai village and Lake Naivasha. Lunches on the road were good from roadside restaurants. Food and accommodations were slightly better in Masai Mara (Manyatta camp) than Amboseli (Kimana cottages). City max hotel is fine in Nakuru. Sack lunches on safari were fine. We did not always get bottled water provided as indicated, but we did purchase some. Overall the trip exceeded our expectations and I would recommend this trip for those on a budget.
Professional, kind and knowledgeable about the animals. Super
Thank you very much for the outstanding service and safari experience. A wonderful time was had and has prompted me to place another trip to Kenya and experience another Safari. The professional service which Eric provided was super. His ability to navigate the roadways and provide opportunity to see the wild animals. And with a pleasant smile on his face. A true professional and a fine man. Will be returning for another safari adventure!

Outstanding, definitely book with Karibu! Can even cater to vegans!
My girlfriend and myself went on two tours organised by Karibu Safaris.
The first was a 3-day 2-night tour to Maasai Mara for safari. Our guide Gibson was exceptional, knowledgeable about the national park and very organised. We were picked up and dropped off on time and our experience exceeded expectations not to mention the great wildlife we got to see.
Next we did a 4-day/3-night hike up Mount Kenya. My girlfriend and myself were the only ones in the group and we were accompanied by a team of four including two porters, a chef and a guide. We had two guides as they changed due to another traveller on a different day having some issues which they appeared to handle professionally and efficiently. Both our guides Jimmy and Sam were tremendous and really were vital in us getting to the summit safely. Neither of us are experienced hikers, and my girlfriend was experiencing high altitude for the first time but both guides were patient, calm and really helped us out.
Also worth noting that we are both vegan and when we asked them at the start of each trip (both Maasai Mara and Mount Kenya) to not serve us meat/fish/dairy/eggs/honey etc they had no issues at all and the food we received was amazing. Stevie was the chef on the hike and did a great job making a variety of vegan food for us.
We are so grateful to have gone with Karibu Safaris and would recommend any others to do the same.

FIVE DAYS SAFARI IN KENYA REVIEW
We had a very nice Safari experience courtesy of Karibu Safaris. It was our wedding anniversary and we decided to celebrate it in Kenya. Everything was well planned and the tour guide gave us a good safari experience in both Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru national parks.
I would definitely recommend Karibu Safaris.
Thankyou for the unforgettable experience.

Arony is one of the guide we ever had. He is knowledgeable, very patient with us. personal touch.
Our guide Arony pick us up and drop us off the airport. He was with us the whole trip. We have Very good communication. We never had problem with him. Our guide Arony makes me feel comfortable and safe during the whole trip. We started early every morning and saw a lot of animals. Hotels are good, food are good. I highly recommended Kalibu Safari, and Arony our guide.

Exellent safari with Karibu and thanks to Castro ....
Very reliable. It is not a big company, but they personalize your safari as you want with profedonal Guide Castro
We got to know it by one friend who had experienced them 2 years ago. Robert answered my email promptly and we built all the safari days together. Sometimes even by whatsapp calls. At the end, we got a very good plan, in a reasonable price for my family of 4. Robert suggested us some good tips and was very helpful. Our guide Castro was there to meet us at the hotel as arranged and he was really an excellent profissional. His knowledge about the region and the animals was very important to our visit. We had a wonderful week together and I do suggest him to anyone looking for safari adventures. More than that, at the end we realised it worked out to a good friendship Castro is the man
