The best experience of my life!
We visited Masai Mara early in June and we were lucky that the wildebeest migration has started early this year. We had booked only a 2-day safari which is effectively 2 half days and covers only a small part of Masai Mara. Our tour guide suggested us to extend it for a day, in which the second day is a full day safari and goes up to the Mara river where the wildebeest migration starts. We took the 3-day safari and it was the best decision ever. The wildebeest migration in one of the new seven natural wonders of the world. There we 2-3 million wildebeest dotting the plains of Masai Mara. We saw many lions, lionesses, cheetah, elephants, hippos, a rhino, gazelle, giraffe, zebras, topi antelope, impalas, ostrich, crowned cranes, a variety of storks and kingfishers, secretary bird, vultures, warthogs (Pumba), baboons, Nile crocodile and Nile monitor lizard.
Our driver Raymond had the eye of an eagle and could spot animals from a distance. He spotted lions far away and drove close to it so that we could have a better look and capture many pictures. Name an animal, and Raymond will ensure that you will see it. On the third day, he suggested we visit the Masai village instead of the safari which was a good decision too. We learnt a lot about the culture and practices of the Masai tribe and many friends back home and on Facebook are more interested in the Masai tribe than the wildlife of Masai Mara.
I highly recommend a Masai Mara safari with Karibu Safaris in Kenya for a minimum of 3 days.

Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, Nairobi
I recommend Karibu Safaris for its overall experience in Kenya. Robert - owner was very informative in providing necessary information via email/WhatsApp prior to booking (cash is gold). Julius was very welcoming/helpful/on time for airport arrival & departure. The whole team (Raymond, Jimmy, Jeffrey, Dan/Victor, Amberose, Maxwell, Charity) was very friendly, attentive in making sure you have memorable Safari experience. Besides your luck, I suggest 4 days in Masai Mara for maximum big 5 & other animals seeing, 1 day in Nakuru to see white/black rhinos/flamingos, 1 1/2 full day in Naivasha to do boat ride, bicycling, gorge drive. Then 3 days in Amboseli to see mainly elephants & hopefully Mt. Kilimanjaro on clear morning/evening. Depending on your flight schedule, it’s nice to see Giraffe centre, baby elephant orphanage & discover Nairobi. Thank you for wonderful stay. I will refer my friends & come back again with Karibu Safaris.

Amazing budget safari trip with Mike !
Pros: I was a little bit hesitant at first to take a budget safari tour but did not want to be spending over 2000 $ on a trip. We took a 5 nights 6 days tour including Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Masai Mara parc. He saw all of the animals (Big 5 and others) and even had the chance to catch the great migration. Our guide Mike was really knowledgeable and is an expert in finding secluded animals in the Masai Mara. Most importantly, some of us got sick during the trip and Mike took the liberty to call the next accommodation to let them know we might require a different menu. Upon arrival the staff asked us immediately if we felt better. It was nice to know that our guide was also looking out for us.
Conts: we were told we would only be six in the vehicle and that everyone would have a window seat. After two days, we ended up being 8. We were cramped in the vehicle and one of us did not have a window seat. It made it difficult to move in the van, but this was not our guide's fault. He did try his best for everyone to see the different animals.

Amazing, Informative , And An Incredible Experience.
A group of 6 of us went on the trip, starting in Nairobi and onto Masai Mara. It was amazing from start to finish with no problems throughout the trip. I have to write about our Safari tour guide and driver - James! It’s thanks to him, He made our trip to be amazing!!! He went above and beyond to help us to enjoy our trip- nothing was a problem to him :) He was informative throughout the trip , able to answer any questions we asked and always making sure we were all enjoying the safari! His communication with us was excellent and everything ran smoothly on our safari. It lived up to all of our expectations, we will be recommending to our friends.

Great Tour, good food, lovely staff!
The safari was excellent, Edwin our tour guide was great, he knew a lot of information about all the animals and birds. He was a lovely guide and driver for the tour. Victor was also excellent he picked us from the airport and dropped us back. He was very accommodating. I will definitely recommend to a friend. Food was good everywhere we went. I would suggest supplying water for the tour as it was very hot and if food is included, water should be also I think. Thank you for a great trip!!

Great trip, excellent safari!
Myself and a friend booked this tour very last minute and the guys organized everything for us. All we had to do was show up at the airport and everything else was sorted for us! All drivers and tour guides (Edwin and Victor) were so accommodating and informative. Any questions we had they were able to answer for us! They knew everything about the Masai Mara safari, animals etc. and they made sure we saw as many of the animals as possible! They were all so nice, polite and really good fun! The accommodation was great! We had our own room with a private bathroom. The food was also excellent and plentiful! Overall we had such an enjoyable experience and were felt very comfortable and at ease throughout! I would highly recommend this trip to a friend!

Great Safari with Karibu Safaris
Safari was amazingly arranged,
Airport to Airport m, and our driver Mr Edward (Masai Mara) and Mr Joffrey (Nakuru) was very good, tried all the way possible to show us the Big 5.
I strongly recommend Karibu, and they do arrange stay in Nairobi on first day last day of safari.

Our tour was absolutely wonderful, there wasn’t one problem and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The tour was just amazing, and that all comes down to our tour guide James, he was absolutely brilliant. He was so helpful and accommodating and always just wanted us to have the best time possible.
