Reviews
Castor, the master driver
This safari is amazing! Castor was a great driver and took us around Masai Mara for one evening and one full day. He drove us fast to all the places we needed to get to to see the big 5 and he also taught us about the ugly 5. We experienced bush toilet, picnic outside and seeing these magnificent animals in the wild. Please be aware that it’s a bumpy ride. Masai Mara has all off road driving as well as being around 6 hours drive from Nairobi. Bring sunscreen for the drive as well as it was 29 degrees. The camp we stayed in was lovely. Hot showers and electricity and zebras in the garden one evening. Bring some snacks for the day as it’s a long day. The safari is great value and I would definitely do it again.

Excellent- Castro is the best Driver
It was always a dream for me to visit the Masai Mara and Karibu made it easy and affordable.
I was pleased with the accommodations and always felt safe.
I highly recommend this tour company and will tell everyone that is coming to Kenya to book. Castro is an excellent driver and tour guide.

Nice Tour to the Masai Mara with Castro
We did the 3 Day 2 Nights Tour to the Masai Mara. Castro was a very good driver even when the road was sometimes a bit bumpy. We saw all Big 5 and many other animals, it was amazing!

What an incredible Tour That I will never forget!!!
The 7 Day Safari was amazing.
Our guide Edward was the true hero!
He drove us safely through the country of Kenya and on the game drive he showed his talents - guiding us to the Big 5, being very very close to them and he was listening to our whishes and Made them come True.
All in all - an incredible experience That i will Never forget.

The contact with the Company was simple and Good. They responded to our questions really quickly.
We did a 7-Day Safari with our guide Edward. He is a very nice and experienced guy. When we met other Safari tourists in the evening, they often didn‘t saw the same stuff and locations we did because Edward knows the parks and the good places. He also answered every question very nicely.
The value for money in my eyes was very good and the Company is very reliable.
I would recommend the Company and especially Edward anytime.

Great safari experience for the cost with Aroni, a skilled, attentive and kind driver.
It was an amazing experience. During the booking, the tour company was clear in all aspects, particularly in what was and what was not included in the price. We found they offer options for all budgets, so we took the budget one. During the trip, we were welcome and guided all the time, with absolutely clear descriptions about what to expect. Aroni, the experienced guide/driver who took us during the trip, provided great info about the wild life during the safari. He also was informative and clear regarding prices in souvenir shops and bargains. He always offer a room of time for us to do the sightseeing, and took us continously across different spots in the Masai Mara. We were lucky to have Aroni as our guide. The accommodation was fair for the price, with clean and comfy enough spaces. Food and water were provided during the trip, as agreed from the very beginning. Totally recommended.

Promised and delivered on all counts..happy memories
My wife and I did a 6-day safari with Karibu Safari. We have come back with happy memories. From the start, Robert's communication was prompt, helpful, and clear. He provided all the documents required for processing our e-visa. The payment process was easy and transparent and now I can say it was immense value for money. The pickup from the airport and subsequent coordination were timely and smooth. Geoffrey was our friend, guide, and driver all rolled into one and he is AMAZING. He briefed us about the program clearly and ensured our 6 days were perfect. His coordination skills are exceptional, he just seems to know everybody. He is a jolly fellow and shared anecdotes about the animals and made the safari interesting, during the long drives between parks he introduced us to Kenyan music and we are still tapping our feet. Thanks to him we saw all the Big Five, Ugly Five, the leopard, the cheetah, the dik-dik, the giraffe antelope, etc, etc. His knowledge and understanding of the local people, and their culture, enriched our experience. All the accommodations were neat, well-furnished, well-equipped, and well-provisioned. The food at all places was of good quality and more than sufficient. The entire schedule went with clockwork precision and we were dropped at JKIA to the minute of the planned itinerary. Karibu Safari promised and delivered on all counts. Thank you, Robert, and a big shout out to Geoffrey.

Accommodating to a last minute change and delivered a very good service on a budget
We did a 2 night 3 day safari to the Masai Mara and it was excellent. We got to see some pretty amazing things. Unfortunately we didn’t see all of the big 5 but that was made up with the many lions we got to see! Our driver Castro was amazing, he always got us to a good view of the animals and provided information about what we were seeing. He was also friendly and welcoming. It was excellent value for money and the safari company had good communication.
The tour was bumpy as expected but that added to the experience. Thank you again Castro! Would recommend this company

Excellent safari and driver/guide
We had a safari in Amboseli and Tsavo and it was amazing. The driver was also an excellent guide and we had the chance to spot a lot of animals. The accomodations were also very amazing with breathtaking views. Very recommended
