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.

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.

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.

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.

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 !!!!

Very good service with the an excellent driver!
It was our first time in Kenya and our first time in the Safari. We booked a 6 day tour budget group tour in Amboseli, Masai Mara and Nakuru, but 4/6 days we were alone(2 people) with the driver. Patrik, our driver, mabe the trip so pleasant with his knowledge about the african fauna anf flona and his sense of humor. We saw the big 5 and almost all the animals one can see in the safari because of all the hard work he put in to guide us to the best spots. Accomondation was very basic but it did the job. Please do yourself a favor and when you come to Kenya ask for Patrik to be your guide.

Good helpful and caring
First of all a big shout-out to our guide Jimi and the rest of the crew, who took great care of us and helped us and provided for us all we could possibly need. You are the best!
The trip itself was great, unfortunately we weren't able to summit due to altitude illness, but definitely try again sometime.

We went with Raymond and he was amazing.
Raymond our tour guide was professional. Took us very close to see the animals. Was very creative when we were stuck in traffic on our way back to Nairobi and found alternative routes to get us back on time

An expertly planned trip, maximum bang for the buck
My four days trip to Mt Kenya was a dream come true, made possible by Karibu Safaris (big shout out to Jimmy the guide, and supporting members Sam and Peter). It's amazing how knowledgeable the guys were, as I learned a lot more about the terrain, the wildlife, and history than I anticipated. The food was surprisingly delicious and you'll never expect such variety in the middle of such a challenging trip. It's planned perfectly for the high altitude, focused on the warmth and nutrition your body needs. Most importantly for me, the team insisted on "pole pole", me doing it at my own pace, and were absolutely dedicated to getting me to the peak, which we did! I would recommend this trip to anyone in a heartbeat.
