CASTRO IS THE BEST GUIDE
The trip was amazing and very cheap. I went on a 7 day safari. It was a lot of driving but we went everywhere. Castro was my guide he was absolutely amazing. I would recommend requesting him if you want to see amazing animals up close !!!!

Outstanding from beginning to end
Planning and putting a trip together is one of the hardest and most time consuming part of the trip.
@travelingwithsinja did this for us and much more. She found us the best safari tour with Karibu safaris in Kenya and it came with Aroni, one of the best guide I have ever had and I have traveled a lot and have been with tons of guides.
When you gonna Spend a week with a person you don’t know you get a bit nervous about how you guys will get along, if he is going to be good, patient, & knowledgeable.
Aroni was an amazing guide, spoke perfect English, very profesional, responsable, respectful, educated, patient, always on time & knowledgeable.
Please do yourself a favor & next time you come to Kenya book your itinerary with @travelwithainja and use karibu safari in Kenya and ask for Aroni to be your guide.
They will make All your Kenya dreams come true.

The most knowledgeable guides in the market!
Our visit to Kenya was outstanding thanks to Karibu Safaris, and our amazing guide Aroni.
Aroni drove us across multiple national parks in Kenya. Took the time to give us a complete review of the culture, economy national resources and his speciality WILDLIFE.
Our trip was Taylor to our needs and Arony made sure we always felt safe and comfortable.

Incredible Tour - Big 5 on First Day
Karibou Safari was fantastic. Victor, the owner, met us at our hotel and explained things to us. He arranged day tours for us on days we hadn’t decided what to do before leaving home. He met us each evening and made sure everything was good. We spent 4 days and 3 nights in Maasai Mara with Raymond (Victors brother) as our driver and guide in a nice Toyota 4x4 land cruiser with a top that lifted up. We did morning games drives, all day game drives, evening game drives, ranger led bush walks - and has a trip of a lifetime. We saw the Big 5 on the first day (elephant, leopard, black rhino, lion, Cape buffalo), and we were a little lucky as rhino and leopards are difficult to find. The vehicle held all 7 in our group, plus Raymond. Raymond would stop whenever we asked to take picture or just look at things. He spoke good English and was fun to talk to. He’s been guiding for over 12 years. We left at 6:30am to get in early, but they’ll cater to whatever you want. The park is fantastic. It’s a little more primitive than Kruger and that was nice. I have bad to say. Everything was great. The value for the money was very good. We went for a budget tour, and in the park we looked better than most in our vehicle.

good value for money
We did a three-day Safari in Masai Mara with this company. My comments fall into two groups, one is our guide, Castro himself and one group is the general organization and points that come back to the Safari company as a whole:
To Castro: he was a really nice guy, very on time and he always made sure that he has communicated every step and time plan with us. In the park itself he was also good in spotting Leopard and crocodiles and we were really excited to know about it. however what I would have wished myself, specially after my nice experience with our guide in Amboseli, was that he would have told us the names of birds and animals spontaneously and on his own, cause at some points it seemed that we were spotting them more than he would do. or maybe he could have communicated more with other dirvers to see if we get to spot more big mammals. It's also a matter of experience and would probably get better with time.
To the Safari company:
the price is a bit high, but the car was ok, there could have been more water provided. the food was also OKish and the eco camp which we spent the night there was good.

Fully Satisfied :-)
Without asking for any details, we got an excellent performed program and Maxwell, the driver, also acted as a really competent tour guide.
Obviously the operator has routine and experience in configuring individual safaris

Karibu Safaris got m everything I asked to see in such a short 3-day safari. Worth it.
Ambrose was the best safari guide I could have asked for. We saw 4/5 of the big 5 because of all the hard work he put in to guide us to the best spots. Also, the wildebeast migration was exceptional. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to go on a short safari since it worked out so well for me even though I only booked it a couple days ahead of time after already arriving in Nairobi.

Wonderful Safari with great People
It was my first time in Kenya and my first time in the Safari. Karibu Safari made my Trip amazing. The people were really friendly and helpful. The 4 days Safari were well organised. The food and the accommodations were really good. I had a wonderful time. Our Driver Raymond gave us the best service and the best tour. He was extremely friendly and did everything to give us to have a wonderful holiday. Thanks to our Tomate friend Raymond.

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 !

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.
