Great driver, nice accommodation, and an overall excellent experience.
Communications were clear, and responses were quick. Everything was as expected. Be prepared to live in tents/small houses on bigger camps, all with electricity. You and your fellow travellers will live close to the local population (Masai), which was a great experience. The safari tour itself was amazing, with a very competent driver (Eric) who knew all that was worth knowing about the parks and animals. This was well worth the money, showing the African wildlife in all its glory. Expect long travelling distances between the parks, but that was no problem at all, as it was a perfect way to experience Kenya on the road. There will be different activities aside from game drives, where you can meet the Masai people, see their houses, or take morning walks with them (expect to pay extra for this).

Amazing most incredible family experience.
The communication with Robert (safari organizer) and Peter (guide) were very clear. Robert kindly and quickly answered numerous questions asked.
Our family; my husband, I and our 3 young adult children saw “the big five”. Our guide appeared very alert and patient to point out and describe the animals and questions asked. Peter was on time, flexible with plans and maneuvered our land cruiser through some pretty difficult terrain.
This was a fantastic, most incredible experience. Would gladly book with them again and recommend them to others.

Amazing safari
Amazing budget safari with Karibu and our driver Arony! Arony has a great eye and I think we saw every animal possible except the rhino (but he said this was rare). Always quick to get us to the lions and cheetahs, honestly an amazing experience! Tents and food were better than expected for the price, would definitely recommend!

Bad organization, amazing experience
Karibu booked me and another traveler on another company's vehicle without notifying us. This caused some issues as the schedule didn't entirely match the one advertised and the driver had been told that we were going for 3 days instead of the 4 we had paid for. In addition, the vehicles used were really not suitable for the road conditions and we got stuck 3 times, once having to exit the vehicle as it flooded with water and threatened to tip over.
Overall, however, the safari was incredible and our driver and guide Ken was super helpful and accommodating! Do note that if you book the 4 day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru safari you don't have to pay for the boat tour; Karibu is supposed to pay for it.

Felix, our driver and tour operator, was really kind. I’m really happy he was an operator.
We choose cheap tour but it wasn’t bad.
It was reasonable.
I’ll recommend Karibe Safaris without hesitation.

An incredible guide on an unforgettable adventure
Due to a little car accident we had on the first day of our safari trip, our van, and so our guide needed to be switched. Of our 7-days safari we had 6 days together with the guide Aruni. During these 7 days, he guided us through 4 safari parks.
He always told us interesting information about all of the animals in the parks, and if he did not know the answer to one of our questions (mostly he knew all of the answers), he looked it up in his book and came back with the answer. furthermore, he was always being very helpful and patient for us to take the best pictures possible. For example, when back at a camp side, preparing for dinner, he asked the personnel to inform us about the mount Kilimanjaro being completely visible.
At the end of our safari, we took a public bus back towards Mombasa. He arranged the tickets, and stayed with us until he was certain we were safe and sound on the right bus.
This safari made our stay in Kenya completely unforgettable, especially as we had the chance of seeing the big five. Thank you Samburu Trails, and thank you Aruni!

Wonderful experience with Kim and Karibu Safaris
I recently traveled to Kenya with 6 friends for a wedding and utilized Karibu for a safari before the festivities started. Karibu Safaris was able to accommodate our schedule and transportation, making the safari an excellent addition to the trip. Our guide, Kim, was superb - he was a great driver, tracker and very knowledgeable about the animals and the country/region. The jeep was also comfortable for our group of 7 and handled the adverse weather well (so well that we even pulled a van that was blocking traffic out of the mud). Our safari consisted of travel from Nairobi, 2 days in the Masai Mara and 1 day at Lake Nakuru. We were able to see all of the Big 5 and many other animals. We also thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations arranged by Karibu (all inside the respective parks). I have previously taken a multi-day safari in Tanzania and felt that the service provided by Kim and Karibu was significantly better than my other experience. I would highly recommend Karibu to anyone considering a safari in the region!
