The tour was very well handled apart from the fact that we arrived late to amboseli (1st day)
The driver James was a very sympathetic and passionate person. The company is reliable and except if you are looking for a luxury tour, I recommend this tour operator!

Great safari!
Really lovely Safari and great value for money! Our tour guide James was very chill, nice, friendly and accomodating and also Robert who organized the Safari was super responsive and paid attention to all kinds of special requests from our side. At first, we didn’t expect much due to the low price but we had a great time and would go again with karibu in a heartbeat!!

Great choice for a game drive to Nairobi NP!
I had a great afternoon's game drive in Nairobi National Park, guided by Arony. His knowledge of and intuition for animals' behaviour was excellent and we were lucky to have some brilliant sightings, including lions and black rhino. Pick up and drop off were both quick and easy, and Karibu's trip advisor Robert made communication clear and simple. A great choice for a game drive to Nairobi NP!

Great safari experience!
We made the booking with Karibu originally for October 2020 but had to postpone it due to covid 19 and I am grateful to Robert from Karibu for always assisting me with his prompt replies and for accommodating our volatile travel plans.
When the new date finally came in June 2021 we unfortunately missed our flight and had to again change our safari plans last minute. Karibu was quick to help us out and even when our arrival time was later than predicted. They picked us up from the airport and from then it was a smooth ride!
Our safari guide was Edward and he was the best guide we could wish for. He adapted the safari plans according to our schedule and with his swift knowledge and driving skills we had a great time and even saw all of the big 5!! Quick shout out to Miti Mingi Eco Camp and it's staff who helped us organize the PCR test and always made sure we had everything we needed.
I highly recommend Karibu.

Truly a once in a lifetime experience
All-in-all, our safari was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Robert was very helpful from the time we first reached out, to help us arrange for the perfect 5-day safari and additional activities of interest we wished to do - visiting the Masai village, taking a hot air balloon ride over the vast Masai Mara and exploring the gorge in Hell's Gate.
Upon reaching Nairobi 5 months after the planning process, Robert was continuously checking in with us and promptly arranged for transport from our hotel to the Karibu Safaris office - last arrangements were done promptly and we were good to go.
We were lucky to have an entire pop-open-roof van to ourself for the entire trip as well as an amazing driver named Edward, who made our trip extra special. He was very considerate to our requests and interests, such as showing us the best local food places (we're huge foodies and had a goal of trying as many local foods as possible). He even arranged the chefs at the hotels to prepare local dishes that were on our list, as well as set up a birthday surprise, cake and a song for my girlfriend's birthday during the safari - it was a fun experience sharing these special moments with the locals and enjoying a piece of cake together. And what's most important - he had an excellent eye for spotting animals - he'd point them out in the grasslands, and we'd actually spend a while to see and photograph animals that we would not have even noticed ourselves. We had the fortune of seeing 4 out of the big 5 - except the elusive leopard. But that is just one more reason for us to go back someday.
If you're a foodie, like good company and a good chat about the local life in Kenya - do ask for Edward to take you around this breathtaking country :)
See you again soon, Karibu Safaris, Edward and the elusive leopard! :)

A once-in-a-lifetime experience with dedicated and professional guides
We took a four-day safari in Maasai Mara and Nakuru lake. The entire team was dedicated, stuck to our schedule and very thoughtful of our needs. Our driver and guide, James, exceeded our expectations and made this an unforgettable experience. He was always there for us and answered all our questions in an excellent English. He was very proactive and always managed to take us to the best viewpoints to see the animals in the reserve. He gave us much insight and information on the animals in the reserve, the many species, their habitats, breeding, lifestyle, etc. He also has excellent driving skills and is very familiar with the terrain of the reserve. He was always cheerful and ready to help. Asante sana, James! You rock!
