Amazing wildlife
We went on a 4 days safari from Nairobi to Mombasa and it was the best decision ever!! starting in ambroselli we
had the first 4 of the big five doen in tje first gamedrive, and the next morning was really amazing too, with lions and their cubs very upclose and hundreds of elephants. The Manjaro tented camp was
awesome too with the campfire and a super comy tent and amazing views of Kilimanjaro. Next up was Tsavo West, really amazing landscapes and many animals too, including the lion, black rhino and the leopard. The lodge there is dire in need of a renovation, but the views were amazing. Tsavo East was also very nice, lots of animals again and again a lodge with breathtaking views and the best sunrise ever! Ronny was an amazing, patient and fun driver and had lots to tell about the animals we saw. We had a blast!

Trustful and well organized
The tour was well organized and everything went as planned.
Edward, the guide, was excellent! He was friendly and made sure we saw all the animals.
We stayed at the Jambo Mara Lodge. The hotel was beautiful and the staff was very kind and helpful.
Overall, a very recommendable experience!

Incredible experience, everything went very smoothly
Everything ran very smoothly and we had a great experience and definitely recommend. Everyone was very friendly, Peter collected us from our Airbnb and dropped us off at the bustling Nairobi bus Station where we met Jimi and travelled down to Nanyuki together on the local bus. After a great lunch in a local restaurant, we met the trekking team and zoomed off towards the Sirimon Gate.
Franco our guide was really great at setting the pace and pointing out the nature along the way. Martin kept us incredibly well fed and always had a huge smile on his face. Pat was a star for carrying our bag and helping Martin out. They were a really great and welcoming team.
We'd definitely do a tour with them again, easy communication and no fuss. Thanks to everyone!

Affordable and good quality.
I think this is a very good value for money package. The Mara is incredible and this was a nice way to experience it. Good 4x4 Landcruiser, only minus with the car is that the rear seats don’t have much legroom. But everyone in the group changed seats now and then, so it was fine. It was nice to have a proper cooler in the car, so that we always had cold drinks. Our guide Edward was a relaxed guy and a reliable driver with good knowledge of all the animals and birds we saw. The hotel was nice, we stayed in wooden cabins and found them very cosy. They are a bit worn though, and the showers in both cabins were leaking, so the floor got all wet when you showered. Hotel staff said they would fix it but they didn’t. Anyway, the beds were comfortable and clean, which is the most important thing. The food was nice, and the pool is also nice and quite big.

Reliable and experienced
The operator did the job. They were reliable and experienced. Our guide, Raymond, did not hesitate to go an extra mile in every attraction. He was constantly trying to find the best spot for us.
Although I wish they had better was the car for the safari, it is highly recommended.

In the National Parks it was great.
We had a wonderful time by seeing lots of wild animals. The driver was really good !!!! but realize there is a long time and big traffic when you are on the way from one National Parc to the other.

Excellent service and organization. But the best our guide Maxwell!
Excellent agency! We booked mid range safari for 5 days. All was done by whatsupp and they did not request any prepayment. The price was very fair as well. The tour was excellent. The best was our driver, Maxwell, thanks to him we saw the big five in first 2 days. He also helped with everything and adapted schedule to the needs of the rest of the group. We were really lucky to have him with us! The hotel in Masai Mara was simply great! I recommend this agency to everyone!

Wonderful trip in Tsavo West and East
The trip organized and managed by Karibu Safari Kenya was just perfect for me and my 2 friends. Everything was well managed, and our guide, Harouni, was very professional, welcoming and kind. We stayed in Ngulia and Voi Lodges, both of them really good! And we got to see all the big 5, so we were very lucky!

Incredible views, great people, slightly disorganised.
The tour of the Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Hells Gate was incredible. We managed to see the big five and enjoyed a lot of great lodges/hotels along the way. The tour was slightly rearranged and disorganised but we still managed to see everything. Between our tour guides - Edward, Joffrey, and Moses - we were given really great information and help throughout the trip to ensure we managed to see everything. In terms of value for money - there is a lot of driving around which may feel like the fees paid can be somewhat too much. But as one realises the fees are predominately for the really great places you stay along the trip. One recommendation I do have is to try to get the jeeps instead of the vans (these make a massive difference to viewing and travel). Also, to take the bicycle ride at Hells Gate as opposed to driving. The long hours in the car can really add up so getting out and stretching your legs is very much needed.

Highly recommended tour operator to climb Mt Kenya
We climbed Mt Kenya with Karibu Safari. We ended up with a group of 3 which was very personal. Sam, the guide, was excellent and knew exactely what we needed (also in terms of pace during the climb) and the rest of the crew (Kelvin, Duncan, Francis, David, and of course Maron the cook) made sure we were always comfortable and taken care of. It’s probably one of the better operators and at great value for money.
