Amazing Experience and Best Driver/ Guide Ever
The safari went so well, I would never have imagined such an experience.
The journey was very comfortable and the driver used the best route to our destination in Mara.
The program was well planned never fell short of what was promised.
The driver, Edu, is the best tour guide I have ever met. Very friendly amd welcoming, I would definitely recommend my friends and family to him.
Edu knows the park so well and is conversant with the various wildlife we were interested in.

Complete and awe-inspiring tour of Kenya's wildlife.
We booked this trip on short notice but the operator was extremely responsive and everything worked out better than expected, especially thanks to our fantastic guide Edward, who customized the tour to our preference on the fly, making sure we got to see as much of the big 5 as possible, even if it meant a longer journey back home for him. We felt safe, welcome, with every need catered to at a good price, including great accommodation and food. BIG 5* !!!

Exceptionally meets client needs
Karibu Safaris in Kenya continuously lives up to its name of curating a welcoming and warm Safari whether you are traveling with friends, families or strangers who often turn into friends. During my yearly visits to Kenya they generously offer the time to map and plan the perfect itinerary and deliver it par excellence.

ARUNI is the best!!!
I just have to thank our tour guide Aruni, defenitely the best tour out there. If you ever wonna see the best of safari i highly recomend to always ask for Aruni! We were in Masai Mara, for 3 day safari, and he was nothing but helpful, skilled and kind. Hes english is perfect and by far the best from all other guides that were with us. Knowledge and explaining of every animal and other cultural stuff was top notch. And i gotta mention hes driving skills, we were chasing a leopard with an mini van where some 4x4 suvs couldnt go. Hes skill to catch, see, or react on radio to drive rapidly for a rare animal is amazing. Im just gonna say that there were 2-3 other guides that were just following hes lead and advices.
If it werent for him we wouldnt see 4/5 (rhino missing) big five in such a short notice, and neither would other 3 vans

Professional, extremely good value and great fun
I cannot recommend Karibu Safaris enough. I had a fantastic experience climbing Mount Kenya, with a professional team and a really excellent guide who made the whole experience hugely enjoyable.
From the word go they made everything very straightforward, with food, accomodation and travel all sorted.
Not only this, but they were around half the price of most other providers, but you would never guess it.

Amboseli Safari
From the point of our first communication with Robert the trip advisor to the moment we made the Safari, everything was flawless. Robert was very professional and he provided us with the best service. He customized our safari to what we wanted and we got the exact bargain. After our experience with Karibu, we are of the opinion that all of our safaris in future will be handled by them. And we highly recommend them as well.
Top notch service.

Amazing tour guide who made the extra effort to ensure we had a great time!
Overall great communications and flexibility during the tour. I felt the tour was a very good price for what was provided. The tour guide (James) was a legend and made the extra effort to make sure we had a great time and I always felt safe and in good hands. Lots of animals around to see, the guide made sure we saw them all and overall everyone was nice. Only two negatives:
1) This was not the Karibu part of the tour (it was with the Masai, which the tour guide hands us to) - after a short tour of the Masai house, three Masai men stood over me to try and sell me some trinkets, for a rip-off price. They bullied me and I felt pressured to buy one. I would rather have paid for the tour up-front. Left the safari on a very negative note and I would suggest Karibu tell them in the future to back-off or charge a tour fee.
2) The food was overall ok, but lacking a bit in meat - would be willing to pay more for dinner / lunch for slightly better food.
But, overall, great tour and I would recommend it!
