Amazing time ! Saw the great 5 in one go!
We had excellent time in a 4x4 keep with our amazing driver and guide Ken.
We managed to see not only the five great animals from a very short distance but also some of the rarest ones such us Leopard and black rhino as well.
The camp was also nice and got the chance to feed baboons!
Only positive words for this amazing experience!
Thank you Ken for all the marvelous moments, persistence and punctuality!
Best moment in Kenya!

Perfect tour with the perfect guide !
Robert was really quick to reply and answered all of our questions. Due to the pandemic situation, we weren’t sure if we had to reschedule our trip but he was so accommodating that it was a burden off our chest.
Arriving to the airport, Haroun lead us to James and Winston. The journey began and what a beautiful journey ! We started to visit Masai Mara and arrived at Enchoro, which is a lovely campement close to the park and where the staff is welcoming and very kind. We got the chance to meet Jonathan around a bonfire, and spent the night discovering the way of life of the Masai. He also has introduced us to the members of his village before our departure from Mara: it was a unique experience !
On the fourth day, we visited Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. We stayed at the Taphe GuestHouse Resort and we never ate so well (even if the food was already really good)! Fresh fish from the lake, delicious and tender steaks, creamy carrot soup.. everything was tasty and the staff was making sure everything was perfect!
Before going to Amboseli, we went to Hell’s Gate and I strongly advise you to take a bike ride ($15/person) so you can ride next to the animals. We finally arrived to Amboseli: we were lucky enough to see the Kilimandjaro and enjoy our last day among the animals.
Opting for the 7 days-safari, we spent a lot of time in the van but I can tell you that you barely feel it: Kenya is a beautiful country and offers breathtaking landscapes!
Last but not least, we had the best tour guide ever: the smiling James whose favorite quote is “Hakuna Matata”! We spent 7 days with him and he made sure our trip was as remarkable as possible. We really appreciated his kindness and concern when we needed to purchase a SIM card or an adaptator. He is fun, knows how to spot any animal and explained us all the facts about them and not to mention that he has great taste of music ! ;) Everyone greets him and respects him so I think it’s safe to say he’s the boss ! Jambo James for everything, you surely made our first safari memorable!

An Most Excellent Adventure
We had an excellent experience with Karibu from the moment we contacted them to inquire about a tour. Communication was clear and prompt.
We booked an overnight trip to Maasai Mara National Game Reserve. We were picked up promptly from our AirBnB. The driver who picked us up was friendly and got us to the Karibu office safely. We were then greeted and briefed by Lillian, who was warm and friendly.
James, our driver and guide on the tour was awesome. He answered any questions we had, and was very knowledgeable about the park and the game that we saw. We were so lucky to view zebras, giraffes, elephants, hippos, countless antelope and buffalo. The highlight was the pride of lions we were fortunate to observe. An unforgettable experience. James got us a close to the action as possible!
The camp that we stayed in was lovely and comfortable.
We would definitely use Karibu again. The value is excellent!

Wonderful safari
We were on a safari on March 19-22. We visited the parks Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East.
The guide is Arun. Everything went well, we managed to see the big five. Our driver-guide constantly prompted and told interesting information about the animals.
We have always managed to find animals in the parks. Everything went great.
I will definitely recommend your company and guide Arun to my friends. Thank!

An exciting safari!
Hey! We took a private safari for 3 nights: Amboseli - Tsavo West - Tsavo East. We found all the animals from the big five and were able to take picturesque photographs, in their native element. Our guide told about the peculiarities of life and the life of animals in the wild savannah. I recommend.

Perfectly organized in short time, we have seen a lot and the guides were super
The booking and communication were very fast and we were ready to book in 2 days.
Price was great and cheaper than any other offer, with similar lodges.
We were lucky to have James/Edouard as guides, they were amazing and again lucky - it was a private tour.
We booked the best of Kenya tour, that means also long driving some days, but its definetly worth it.
Plan some warm clothes for the evenings/mornings in the Masai Mara. ;)
For us it was a perfect week and we recommend Karibu Safaris anytime.
All the best !!

Great experience
First time in Kenya, I wanted to do the Masai Mara safari. What a good trip!!! Great service, the team was very friendly. The tour guide bring us to unexpected spots where we saw lions. We stayed 2 nights in a Masai camp close to the natural reserve and I learned so much about their culture.
I really enjoy and recommend it.
An amazing experience !!!
