Highly Recommend for a 4-day safari group trip!
I cannot recommend Karibu Safaris (specifically our guide Kim) enough - the experience was fantastic and far exceeded our expectations. In booking a safari, I was very overwhelmed by the variety of options, number of tour providers, and different price points. But after contacting 12 different companies, I chose Karibu because they were able to accommodate the various requests we had and offered what seemed to be a very fair rate at the time. Our group of 7 spent 2.5 days in Masai Mara and then 1.5 days in Lake Nakuru, and we stayed in absolutely wonderful lodges arranged by Karibu. Kim offered so many great facts about the animals we saw, and he had a great sense of humor. After finishing the safari, I feel this was an incredible value and I’ll remember this trip as one of my favorites I’ve ever been on.

Good tour for a good price
The communication in advance was really good,all my questions got answered quickly. The booking process itself was really easy. Even though the weather wasn't the best our guide James made it an awesome experience for us. Organization was really good and we really enjoyed our tour!

Unforgettable experience
This is the best value for money trip I have ever been on! Our driver and guide (Edu) was great fun and super knowledgeable and the campsite provides good food and comfy beds. But, the best bit is of course the wildlife! The Masai Mara is a beautiful place, and full of amazing animals. We saw lions and cheetahs get close enough that we could touch them if we'd wanted! We also saw countless other animals (4 of the big 5, no rhino but they have very rare these days) in our group of 6 safari go-ers.

This is a once in a lifetime experience for me and they did not dissapoint!
I loved every bit of the safari! From the locals, the cuisine, the scenery and of course the variety of animals is an awesome gift from Kenya. The service was very great and the guides were very knowledgeable. Ask for Ben or Raymond for guides because they really know what they're doing. Also, if you want full excursion experience, rent the jeep with 4×4. This safari exceeded my expectations and if I am ever to do one in Kenya again, I will through Karibu. Thanks for everything!

Very reliable and extremely good driver. Saw all big 5 and had a wonderful group and a lot of fun.
The car was fine for the budget, but we would recommend to use two drivers at least for the parts with the very long hours. Our driver Tony never showed any signs of tiredness and we always felt safe, but it just seems to much of driving for one person on one day.
The accommodations where fine for the budget. Only the last two nights at amboseli national park the mattress was way too soft. Here the bed bases need to be fixed!
The trip to lake naivasha was quite boring, uninspired and expensive. We would recommend to skip this for your clients, as the rest of the group felt like it was a waste of time.
We also felt like Massai Mara + lake Nakuru would have been enough for seeing all animals and experiencing the nature of Africa. The additional Amboseli NP was fun, but not really necessary.
A big big compliment goes out to our driver Tony. He knew a lot about the animals, was very reliable, always on time and an exceptional driver. Where other cars got stuck or couldn't drive he managed easily. We felt very safe with him.

The Best Tour in Kenya
We had the best time exploring Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Nairobi with our driver Raymond.
Ray went out of his way to give us the best views of all the animals in the parks. Ray has a vast knowledge of the all the wildlife and the land. He was very accommodating of any requests we had and was in great humour throughout the whole trip, despite the long drives he had to bring us on. Would 100% recommend to a friend.
10/10.
Thanks a million, Ray!

Unbelievable experience highly recommended.
This safari tour lived up to all expectations and more. It allowed us to experience the full beauty and nature that Kenya, it's people, tribes and safari has to offer. This would not have been possible without the excellent guidance from our tour guide Castro. He was one of the most professional, knowledgeable and kind tour guides I have ever encountered and he made sure we had the most enjoyable and fulfilling Safari Experience. The accommodation we stayed in were all clean and the food was lovely too. Highly recommended to work with this tour company.
