Excellent
Thank you very much for the safari. Especially to Robert for his help in organizing and for solving additional questions.
Great organization. Very friendly and helpful staff.
It's a pity that it was only 2 days should have to take a safari for at least 3 days.
Highly recommend.

Outstanding guide and experience
I cannot say enough good things about our driver/guide Arony. He made the experience better than I could have imagined, even in Covid times. He made sure that we saw everything we wanted, and knew the secret spots where lion prides usually were. He was absolutely amazing, highly recommend!

Great safari with some wait times
We had a great time on our 7 day Safari in Kenya. Our driver/guide Arony was very good and experienced. He managed to be the first to find the Lions in the Massai Mara, ahead of a lot of other cars. This led to us having a great and quiet view of them. He was also very knowledgable, considerate and funny. So if you can, Arony is your man!
The parks and animals were stunning and an absolute must see. Accomodation in the budget tour is as you can expect very basic. But besides the occasional power outage we felt well taken care of in all of them. Just don't expect wifi everywhere.
The reason why we can't give 5 star is the organisation of the group tour. We had people joining and leaving which is okay, but the way it is planned it leads to annoying wait times. We started the tour very early on the first day just to wait 1.5hours for some stuff they had to fix at the bank in downtown, only to drive back the way we came. Could have slept all this time to be picked up then. The order of our itinerary also was mixed on short notice to pick up another guest which led to us going back to Mai mahiu (1h each way), again time we could have spent exploring or at least comfortably at a hotel instead of bumpy traffic. Lastly our game drive on the last day was cut short to 1 hour instead of 2.5 hours due to a bus schedule of other guests (again something you could mitigate by getting a second car to pick up these guests). I believe this is not the drivers nor the other guests fault, but the organisation from the office. All this accounts to about half a day lost during these 7 days.
So to summarize: The tour is good, Arony was great and the organisation just okay. I guess the good price compensates a bit.

Exceptionnal safari experience in Amboseli
The safari (3 days and 2 nights) in Amboseli was just exceptionnal. Aruni is one of a kind. He knows where to find the animals and shared his knowledge. Thanks again Aruni and the Karibu staff in Nairobi.
