Experience the Real with Karibu Safaris In Kenya
We had an Excellent safaris driver , Arroni. He had many years of experience and make great effort to ensure we see everything that is our there. Services at all the accommodation is excellent too. Setback are the accommodations are lacking in amenities like poor lightings and low water pressure for showering. Besides that all is excellent.

Great first impression of Kenya in a few days
It is amazing how much we saw in just a few days. It is not a trip when you want to rlax, bcause it is a lot of driving. Ialways felt safe on the road, because our driver Richard was excellent. If you only have afew days and want to see a lot, choose this kind of trip.

Just perfect!
I am a Spanish solo traveller and booked a 12-day safari with Karibu Safaris and I can say that I am satisfied 100% with the experience. This has definitely been a trip in a lifetime!
My itinerary was all about covering as many national parks as possible and I am glad to have done so. Otherwise, I would have surely missed the chance to see some animals. The parks included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Tarangire. I have seen ALL kinds of animals: the big five from a close distance (leopard and rhino are quite difficult to see) and others such as jackals, hyrax, adama lizards, crocodiles, hippos... We even had hyenas and mongoose freely wondering around our camp in Serengeti!
I have to say that as chaotic as the organization may seem, everything turns out fine at the end. Do not expect great communication or information from the company in the western european style. Neither do so with following your schedule as previously stated. Some changes are always made on the go, but at least in my case, always for the better. African people are most of the times nice and friendly and won't try to scam you. In my case, the company even arranged one extra day and were helpful at all times.

Well organized and knowledgeable
The safari was very well organized. Our driver made sure we had a good time and was good at spotting animals. We saw mostly everything from lions, cheetah, leopard to elephants. He waited patiently for us to take pictures and checked in with the group. The accodomation was also good and food was good too. We are vegetarian so enough options. Overall a good way to see Masai marrai on a budget.

Wonderful experience, highly recommend
My husband and I did a six day safari (Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli) with Arony as our guide. We had an incredible time. Arony is super knowledgeable, friendly, and an all around fantastic tour guide. I will definitely be requesting him next year when I come back for a second safari with my parents and brother. The head office was very responsive over what’s app, answered all my questions, and then organized a train for us from Nairobi to Mombasa at the end of our trip. Will definitely be booking again. Impeccable customer service.

8days safari with Karibu
We (couple) booked 8 days safari with Karibu. Communication was very easy, Robert from office answered all the questions quickly (same day within a couple of hours). It's an affordable budget safari and we really enjoyed the whole experience. The accommodations are basic but fit to the purpose. Karibu offered to upgrade the camps so if you like you can pay more for better quality. I found this system very flexible and their way of working is really effective. The drivers are friendly however sometimes you have to ask them to inform you and/or tell more about the parks and wildlife. Overall it's a beautiful experience and well worth the money paid for 8 days. Additionally we booked 1 day to visit Nairobi national park, Sheldrick orphanage and giraffe center. I highly recommend this company!
