Really really good.
Everything on this package booked with Robert of karibu safaris exceeded our expectations. The guide Tom was exceptional, He was very knowledgeable of the areas we visited and made the trip a pleasure. The accommodation for all three nights were at 4-stars lodge and the package original said 3-stars. We also had excellent Kenyan local/ traditional dinner (not included in the package ). There were numerous excursions that added to the experience. We priced other companies package and this was by far the best for the money. Highly recommended.

Great Safari, fantastic guide!
We were really satisfied with our tour with Karibu Safaris. From the prompt communication upfront to the pick up service from the bus station, even after the bus was an hour late, they were ready and waiting. The accomodation was great value as well and all meals ensured we were well fed. The Masai Mara add on was also good value.
About the tour itself, it was magnificent & extremely well run! Our guide John was amazing, he always kept us up to date with what was happening. He was flexible and his communication & team work with fellow drivers on the radio, whilst on safari was extremely impressive, as it ensured we saw every animal possible. If you have ever spent a decent amount of time in Africa you will know as a general rule service standards aren't high in western terms(although they are improving). However, at Karibu, I can safely say that their service was fantastic! And try to ensure you get John to be your guide as he is a very knowledgeable and hard working guide, one of the best we have had in all of the safaris we have done in Africa!
Awesome Safari
My friend and I traveled to Africa in july. We spent about two
weeks exploring Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar with tours we booked through Karibu Safaris. Amazing experience, amazing trip, and the customer service was top notch --- always responsive, always informative, and just plain nice people who made the process extremely easy! We had no problems at all. No complaints at all about the trip or the booking experience through Karibu Safaris . We would DEFINITELY use them again!

Day Trip In Nairobi City
My fiance and I recently returned from a trip to Kenya. We booked a day tour of
Nairobi with Karibu safaris and it was one of the best days we had during our trip!
Martin met us at our hotel in the morning and drove us around all day in a very
comfortable van. We found him to be very friendly, professional, and knowledgable
about the Nairobi area!,the wildlife, geography, history, languages, and then
political and economic climate in Kenya. We were really impressed with his
knowledge. we saw much in one day baby elephant orphange, giraffe center, karen
blixen museum and visit to the kiambethu tea farm.

A tour to remember
My tour was amazing (and I’m not always using this term like some American guys), especially because of the driver! It was a pleasure to spend time with him! If you are traveling alone, such a trip is an opportunity to meet new friends from all around the world!

Awesome 6 day safari
Me and my wife have just returned from our safari trip. It was a wonderful experience and John, the driver guide made it more exciting and memorable for us, thanks to john's eagerness and expertise he put in during the tour and game drives. Definately would recommend this tour company to anyone wishing to have a fantastic safari trip. John was very knowledgeable, had a great sense of humour and made the safari more enjoyable. There was once when he drove for 14 hours travelling from lake nakuru- nairobi and then to amboselli, yet he engaged with us effectively and and did not show any tiredness or fatigue.
In comparison with other tour guides seen during the game drives, john was very proactive and took us close to the animals, whilst maintaining safety. Can't thank you guys enough especially John (driver guide)!!!!

Great safari experience with Karibu thanks to John!!
I dont usually write reviews I let my husband do it for both of us! But these guys deserve it!
Was the best! My dietry needs were taken care of! We got very close to the animals, thanks to johns experience and expertise in what he does. He has shown alot of enthusiasm n kept us entertained all along for our 6 day safari, regardless of him driving around 9/10 hrs sometimes more when we were travelling to different parts of kenya for our game drives. I cant thank john enough for making my experience memorable.
Thanks john! And robert for helping us book the safari. I have already recomended this company to a few friends who are looking to book.

Very good value for money
We went to Masai Mara for three days and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guides were friendly and reliable. They had a lot of knowledge about the animals and we saw many animals.
The equipment was ok, when the van had a problem we were transferred to Nairobi by a rented minibus.
We felt safe at all times. We would always use them again.

One Week In Kenya
Robert knows Kenya and has extensive knowledge of various camps throughout different regions. We selected to be in Kenya for our one week trip on a budget safari. Our criteria included only group joining tour from camp to camp, game drives and budget comfortable accommodation. He planned our itinerary well and booked us at Lenchada tented camp, Golden Palace and Kimana tented camp. Our Kenyan trip was a success.
