Safe, Fun & Unforgettably Adventurous Trip to Kenya!
In all honesty, Karibu offered the very best value for money that we could hope for in an 8 day budget trip to Kenya that included Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha & Amboselli. The team including Robert is super responsive and was very considerate in terms of listening to our concerns and fulfilling our requests to the best of their ability. We were really satisfied with their reliability as they took care of us the moment we landed there and until we were dropped off at the airport because of which there was rarely ever a moment we felt unsafe. Our tour itself was well planned and we had 1 guide, James, for the 5 of us throughout. James is an excellent tour guide and driver who has a deep understanding of the history, significance, nature and social workings of the local wildlife, people and surroundings. He is always smiling and amazing at conversations both with us as well as people on the way. I don’t think we will ever forget how wonderfully he treated us throughout the trip by accommodating all of our requests without any hesitation. Just remember that if you choose a budget trip, do not expect stays that will blow your mind. They’re mostly simple, rustic and old hotels, guest houses and camps that have limited heated water, slow or no WiFi and decent food that can just get you by. But for some, that may be just what you’re looking for in a wild and adventurous African safari that will be an entirely new experience.

They delivered all the promises as advertised and Mr CASTRO, the guide was a true professional.
We took a four nights and five days tour and it was overall very well conducted. The guide, Mr CASTRO was a true professional, friendly and he ensured that all the promises made by the tour operator were kept. It was overall good value for money. The Miti Mingi Camp was good but the accommodation at the other sites could be improved a bit. Overall it was an excellent Safari!!!
Great Guidance & Trip
Everything went according to the plan and we completed the whole schedule without any problems.
Our guide CASTRO was super helpful and caring for us with a great guidance and tracking on the field. His commucation was so clear and made all things understanble and net for us.
The hotels and camp were not bad and didn’t lack for any issue but the standarts and quality is low as directly proportional for the price.
The food was good for all 3-meals and delicious enough.
Every tourist in the jungle is having the same trip with same route, with same experiences (animals&events) but with different standarts. The expensive tours have better cars with more comfort and visual angle and stay at more luxury places but everyone totally live the same experience!
According to your budget; the tour is satisfying enough for the standarts and i again gotta say, Castro our guide is a super guide.

The tour was organised in a right manner
We contacted robert. He cooperated starting from booking till end. When we went to the office at nairobi, he talked positively, solved all our confusions. Introduced a very good driver mr. JAMES. He is a man of good character having lot of human values. He is not only a driver but also an ornithologist. He made our tour a great success

Professional Guide
Our guide Marvin is an excellent "hunter" of wild animals. With his expertise we managed to see lions, leopards, cheetah, rhino and of course elephant.

Spectacular, surprising and amazing.
We are very lucky to see many rare and spectaculars scenery along the whole safari, including five lions feeding on a wild beast, four cheetahs relaxing by the river, rhinos walking and eating, lions making out, etc. Our guide Marin is very professional and very friendly. Under his guidance, we have experienced the most exciting and primitive Africa culture and life. And we have seen the unfound beauty in Masa Mara as well as Africa. Definitely love this journey

Knowledgeable and accommodating while also keeping everyone safe!
Aron was wonderful and we got to see many animals in our first two hours. He would let us know when we needed to rush and see another animal he heard about. We got to meet the Mara people and Aron answered all of our questions and taught us about the culture. It was everything we wanted abs just when we thought it couldn’t get better, Lake Naruku was beautiful and we finally got to see Rhinos. I honestly saw Everything I wanted and more. The driving is crazy in Kenya period and Aron does a great job navigating traffic even if it scared me to death.

Experienced
For the money, this is a 5 star experience. You will get to see all of the animals you hoped for, and more! Arony, our guide, was very experienced and knew exactly the route to take us to maximize our time and experience. We took the 4 day Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru safari - The camp in the Mara is a basic set up with bed/toilet/shower and has a bar you scan purchase alcohol from. The hotel in Nakuru is a bit nicer with free wifi. Overall, great experience and Arony answered all of our questions and was a great host !
