Excellent!I would repeat
I had to change the dates of my trip several times due to personal issues and they were very flexible. We did a 6 days safari which was very well-organized and Ken our driver was super helpful and patient! Hotels were really nice especialyy AA Lodge. The only thing I would change would be our lunch, as in hotels gave us a box and we would have prefered to eat in a buffet, if possible.

Most amazing and attentive Edward we've ever met!!!
Edward has been our tour guide across Kenya in June 2023 - he picked us up directly from Nairobi Airport to start our safari adventure in Amboseli, from there we headed to Tsavo and Taita Hills, and finished our amazing trip in Diani beach.
Throughout the entire time, Edward has been nothing but accommodating of our needs, extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife as well as customs and culture.
He has made sure we saw and did everything we wanted to during a very limited time frame whilst advising us on how to improve certain parts of our itinery to make our experience even better to see and enjoy the real Kenya (this was upon our request of course). He also organised a tour of Maasai Village for us as a new addition to our plans.
Overall, he's gone over and above to make us feel welcome and have the best time, which we utmost appreciated.
I will be contacting Edward again when planning our next trip for any recommendation or simply as my first point of call. Here's to another unforgettable adventure!
Highly recommend!!!

Excellent budget safari with all big 5 spotted
My wife and I are pleased with the budget 7-day safari of Masai Mara, lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate and Amboseli.
Clinton our guide & driver in the safari served us professionally and always drive safely throughout. We didn't even get carsick despite the long drives on sometime bumpy road. He also always give clear instruction (when & where to gather, what is upcoming etc) and organised manner to make our safari trip smooth.
With his guidance, we were very happy to see all the big 5, even the leopard which is rather elusive, for which he made sure that we reach it quickly (but safely) upon hearing the radio chatter.
All the extra costs (for boat trip & walking in Crescent Island / L. Naivasha) and cycling Safari are clarified in advance.
We had plenty of food through the trip (drink is extra). When departing Nairobi, do stock up on some snacks and a bit of extra water if you'd like as it will be more expensive in the transit stops / camps.
If there are points to improve it would be:
- during Masai Mara part, there were 8 pax vs 7 seats (1 pax need to sit beside the driver for the journey, but understandably in the park everyone would like the 'open roof' access so we kind of juggle / take turns for the 7 seats at the back). Naturally, it would be more comfortable if the back part of the van does have 8 seats (which another van does in a 3-2-3 config instead of our 2-2-3), or stick to the original 7 pax.

Excellent guide tour
We have a five-day safari combining Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, and Lake Nakuru. It was a wonderful trip. The accommodation and tour plan are all well organized. Our drive and guide Raymond is very professional and hardworking. He drove us the whole way and guided us to see a lot of animals. We had a lot of opportunities to film animals in very close distance. It was fantastic to see animals in this way. I think it is a good experience to be with Karibu safari.

All arrangements were done perfectly, including time management, accommodation, meals and Masai Mara
It was my first visit and experience to go to Safari and I really enjoyed. I would like to highlight a good safari tour arrangement and particularly mention our driver Mr. CASTRO, who was extremely helpful and ensured that we got a lot of impressions from our safari tour. I would recommend to all who are planning to visit Nairobi this safari tour and Mr. Castro as an excellent driver and guide.

Great safari experience!
It was an amazing experience! The operator proved to be reliable, all worked. Karibu Safaris provided transportation from the hotel, then to Masai Mara, and back (up to the hotel). We had a very good driver, who was trying to park car so that we make better photos. It took about 5-6 hours to drive to the place (same time on the way back). We stayed in a village camp for tourists, clean, water etc., felt kind of authentic, and our evening conversation with William, a masai herder... Astonishing views, worth seeing and spending couple of hours in the car. Good value for money.
