Cheerful, fun, adventures and amazing experience !
Despite the struggle with the weather, our guide Castro made sure that we enjoy the trip to the fullest and fulfill ALL OUR WISHES. The food was very traditional and added this little detail to the journey that made us feel like we in Kenya. If you are a watermelon lover then you will live it. We had fun and did all that we wanted and more. Also celebrated a very special birthday of our guide. Unforgettable experience!!!

Excellent, well organised and professional
Everything was spot on. The communications were clear and crisp. The safari was well coordinated. The driver cum guide Arony was brilliant. Food and accommodation was also above expectations. The safari experience itself was great with excellent guidance by Arony.

Had a great experience with the company and the services provided during the stay were expectional
We booked the Masai Mara safari with Karibu in December and had an experience of our lifetime travelling with them. We had Arony as our tour guide and we made the most out of his vast knowledge about Masai Mara's Flora and Fauna. Food provided to us was really healthy and wholesome. Also, the camp where we stayed was very well organized. Had an amazing experience with the team.

Amazing 4-days safari between Masai Mara and lake Nakuru. Very recommended experience
We choose this safari experience between many others and we were incredibly lucky. We saw the big 5 and a lot of other animals, most of the times from a close view surrounded by this incredible nature! Our guide Arony was the best, he had always found the best spots, explained us many things and managing all the other aspects of the tour (drives, accommodations, etc).
The camp was better than expected with large tent and hot shower and the hotel was even better.
The meals were also ok with local food such as rice, beef, vegetables etc.
We highly recommend this experience, we think it worths the money and probably it’s even better than more expensive ones

Amazing 4-days safari with Arony!!
The safari was amazing!
It all depends on the driver and a bit on the luck. In this case our driver Arony was amazing, he knew a lot of spots in the park and we were also really lucky (we saw the lion the first day, through only two hours of game drive before the masai Mara closed).
We stopped on the great reef valley and in narok for lunch the first day.
The camping was really ok (hot water - big beds - toilet flush).
The second day was a full day game drive, were we saw 4 of the 5 big five!
On the third day we visited the masai Mara village (it was 15$ per person, but it was ok, they use the money for building the school or the masai community in general).
Than in the afternoon we drove to lake Naivasha, where we chose to make a round trip with the boat on the lake (this was other 20$ each). It was really good, you can see hippos from the boat and it's very nice (unluckily it rained during our boat tour, but with the nice weather must be really exciting!)
The city max hotel is very nice, all the people are lovely and the day after (last day :( ) we went to lake nakuru where we finally saw rhino!! Now the big 5 are complete and Arony was the best guide ever!
5 stars absolutely!

Wonderful experience with Kim and Karibu Safaris
I recently traveled to Kenya with 6 friends for a wedding and utilized Karibu for a safari before the festivities started. Karibu Safaris was able to accommodate our schedule and transportation, making the safari an excellent addition to the trip. Our guide, Kim, was superb - he was a great driver, tracker and very knowledgeable about the animals and the country/region. The jeep was also comfortable for our group of 7 and handled the adverse weather well (so well that we even pulled a van that was blocking traffic out of the mud). Our safari consisted of travel from Nairobi, 2 days in the Masai Mara and 1 day at Lake Nakuru. We were able to see all of the Big 5 and many other animals. We also thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations arranged by Karibu (all inside the respective parks). I have previously taken a multi-day safari in Tanzania and felt that the service provided by Kim and Karibu was significantly better than my other experience. I would highly recommend Karibu to anyone considering a safari in the region!

An incredible guide on an unforgettable adventure
Due to a little car accident we had on the first day of our safari trip, our van, and so our guide needed to be switched. Of our 7-days safari we had 6 days together with the guide Aruni. During these 7 days, he guided us through 4 safari parks.
He always told us interesting information about all of the animals in the parks, and if he did not know the answer to one of our questions (mostly he knew all of the answers), he looked it up in his book and came back with the answer. furthermore, he was always being very helpful and patient for us to take the best pictures possible. For example, when back at a camp side, preparing for dinner, he asked the personnel to inform us about the mount Kilimanjaro being completely visible.
At the end of our safari, we took a public bus back towards Mombasa. He arranged the tickets, and stayed with us until he was certain we were safe and sound on the right bus.
This safari made our stay in Kenya completely unforgettable, especially as we had the chance of seeing the big five. Thank you Samburu Trails, and thank you Aruni!
