Fantastic Budget Safari in Kenya with Arony.
Communications with Karibu were very good and prompt. I did notice that we stayed at a different camp in Mara and different hotel in Nakuru. Not sure if the others in the trip description were better? Especially Nakuru..
The service was good and Arony collected us on time at our accommodation as arranged. From there the fun began. Arony was the most fantastic driver and guide. He really made our trip so enjoyable. Arony drove incredibly well in the very difficult Kenyan traffic and the rough road to Mara and Miti Mingi camp. The camp was comfortable and the game driving and sightings in Mara exceptional. Arony was very knowledgeable and he made sure that we saw all the game that was possible. Navaisha and Nakuru were also good and we had a wonderful game drive in Nakuru seeing black and white Rhino as well as Rothschild giraffe. The CitiMax hotel was very disappointing. The rooms were fine but the dinner was a shocker. In fact 2 of our group had upset stomachs. Also one can't relax anywhere and cant even buy a beer! We also had 8 people in the van which was not ideal. It was only for about 24 hours but when booking the tour it did state maximum of 6. We then continued to Amboseli and Kimana camp. A very long drive but handled incredibly well by Arony. Kimana camp was the best camp. Staff very friendly and food was good. Arony again was a star with the game drives and he was always ready to satisfy our needs. In general a most enjoyable trip. It was definitely was made more enjoyable by Arony who did his job exceptionally well. 10 out of 10. Knowledgable and interactive. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you very much Arony.

Great value for money.
Communication with Karibu was excellent before booking. Our driver was very pleasant and polite. The accommodation is basic, and liked the authentic experience of being amongst the Masia. However we did have flush toilets, showers and excellent food. The management explained that electricity was limited, but this was fine for charging our appliances.
We saw the Big Five and in the park and here there is no difference between a very expensive safari and a basic one - perhaps a more comfortable van, but you spend much of the time standing. Our driver Edward was excellent at finding the right spot for our photographs. Overall, an excellent experience and I would book with Karibu again

Good budget option if you're short on time
Communication from the team was good both prior to and during the trip.
The schedule was kept to, and was made flexible by our driver who gave us options whilst on the tour.
The animals were great, and our driver did an excellent job of locating the best game and giving us amazing views.
We were a bit disappointed to see the driver littering whilst driving on the highway (not in the park). Being part of the "Ecotourism" group, I would have expected all staff to uphold higher standards on this subject.

Completely amazing
The communication was unbelievable. Don’t worry about international calling, they will email you back immediately. I left my tablet in their van and they were amazing getting it back.
The accommodations and entire experience was above and beyond!

The big five in five days
My wife and I took part in a five day trip to the Masai Mara, Nakuru and Navaisha NP with Karibu Safaris and thought it was excellent value for money. Thanks to our expert guide Arony we saw lions, cheetas, a leopard and the wildebeest crossing the Mara river, and he dealt masterfully with any hiccups along the way. The accommodation was very good for the price, especially in Nakuru and Navaisha,
