Great budget package
Had an amazing time in Kenya with Karibu safari, there was a lot of time spent on the road to get to the various locations but it was all worth it!
During our 7 days Castro was our guide and exceeded our expectations! Castro is an excellent driver and where other tours got stuck in the mud(literally) we would just fly on through! Castro was able to get us closer to the lions and cheetahs than I ever thought possible! (And I’ve been on alot of game drives)
All in all great value for money and would definitely recommend Karibu!

Excellent safari with Arooni, our guide.
The safari got a whole lot better, with the exceptional and insightful guide that Arooni is. We bought a mid range group safari, and experienced the best of the game drives. All the accommodations were amazing, Enchoro, Aa, lanet matfarm.
The food was basic, especially lunches and for the vegetarians there aren't many options so come prepared. People are very friendly, additionally, you might want to be generous with tips. WHEN YOU ARE DOING THE SAFARI, NOTHING MATTERS MORE THAN AN AMAZING GUIDE, FOR US HE WAS AROONI WHO MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE AND WE HAD A TOP-NOTCH EXPERIENCE. Do not miss out on experiencing the authentic Masai village, which is right in front of Enchoro.

Exceptional! Wonderful! Thrilling!
I have to start by saying Dan a.k.a. Castro a.k.a. slim daddy ;) was an exceptional guide. He made sure we saw all animals up close and didn't miss any experience. His driving skills are amazing and he is super punctual. We realised being on time was crucial to experince the best of the wild before it gets crowded and hot. stay at masai mara was comfortable and the hosts were very welcoming. Each day of our 5 day safari was an experience by itself and I definitely recommend Karibu for their experienced staff and budget package.

Excellent Safari experience with an affordable budget!
I joined a 5-day budget Safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Hells Gate. It was amazing!!! But I have to say that our tour guide, Dan Castro makes the safari easier and more enjoyable. He is a punctual, adventurer, and super talented driver. Also, we had small or big problems throughout Safari like forgotten items, exchange currency, etc.. and Dan was always there with his smart solutions.
If you want to join a safari with an affordable budget I will definitely recommend the Karibu tour.

Amazing!!
Incredible safari, we had Aroni as a guide, he is the best, he has a lot of experience and he always made sure we had the best views of the animals.
Communication with roberts from the beginning was very helpful.
I recommend this operator and ask if Aroni can be your guide.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!
We started our journey in Nairobi, since our flight arrived very early, Karibu safari helped us arranging a pick up service that took us to a place in which we could rest.
Once we started our safari, we met our driver Collins (Arooni) and headed to Masai Mara, his experience of +20 years in this field shows as we always had the best spots to see the animals, his ability to get through every obstacle on the road was amazing and we always felt safe (no reckless driving), we were very lucky to see a Leopard hunt in a crossing and many other situations we wouldn’t have seen if it weren’t for Collins skill and expertise.
Regarding the tented camps, you get a nice sleep every night because you’re drained from a whole day in a Safari, with people that are always taking care of you, in fact everyone in Kenya wants you to have a pleasant experience, they are very service oriented and happy to help you!
We saw 5 of the big five and much more that this beautiful country has to offer! We are very grateful with Karibu Safari and hope to comeback sometime, if you have the opportunity to go with Collins you won’t regret a second of it.

Memorable Experience that Surpassed All Our Expectations
We were not expecting when we booked the safari to have experienced what we experienced in a 6 day time.
It all started with our pick-up in the Hostel and being taken to the center of Nairobi to meet our guide and van.
About our guide, we had the pleasure of having Peter guiding us through the journey. A knowledgeable, flexible, enthusiastic guide with quite the driving skills. We shared the van with 4 more people but had enough space for a comfortable trip to all the parks.
For Maasai Mara, we had the luck of seeing everything and more, much because of Peter's effort to avoid crowds and knows how to get around the area. Cheetahs, Lions, Rhinos, Leopards (3 in total). We stayed in a nearby tent camp, which was also a fantastic experience, thanks to the location and kindness of the staff.
For Lake Nakuru we had the chance of seeing more Rhinos, Lions, Leopard, and Hippos, among others.
For Amboseli, we stayed in an amazing private camp, Manjaro Tented Camp, a small and quiet camp, a first seat to the Kilimanjaro. Inside the park, we saw a large number of Elephants, among other animals. We also had the privilege of having clear skies to see the dimension of Kilimanjaro.
Finally, we were drop-off at our Hostel in Nairobi.
We have no negative comments to point to Karibu Safaris. We had, largely due to Peter, a one-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you for your service and kindness! We will recommend this tour for future travelers.

I can really recommend it!
I can truly recommend doing a safari with Karibu.
The persons are very friendly and you will have a nice time in the Masai Mara. The Campside at Masai Mara truly was amazing. The food was very nice and you will get to see the Masai and can talk to them, ask questions etc. They made a little campfire for us in the evening, which was very nice. Nevertheless, you should be somehow flexible. We only had warm water, energy and light for a few hours a day.
Thr safaris where truly amazing, even if you spent a lot of your time in thr car. Please note that the tour from Nairobi to MM takes about 6 hours (with having lunch).

Unforgettable experiences, great adventure in Kenya.
I would like to recommend the company "Karibu Safari in Kenya" which organized a wonderful 5-day private safari for our family. We started our safari in Mombasa and ended it in Nairobi. We visited Tsavo East, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara and more. Communication with Robert was excellent and the price was affordable. However, we would like to express our greatest thanks to Edward, who was our guide and driver. Edward is a very cultured and friendly man. Thanks to him, we could see the most beautiful animals and landscapes of Kenya. He drove the car very safely both on the roads and in the reserves. Edward showed us at close distance the big five animals and thousands of animals in the great migration in the month of July.
Accommodation and food during the safari was great. It included our vegetarian diet.
Don't hesitate to book your safari with "Karibu Safari in Kenya".
We highly recommend the safari with Edward as a guide. We would like to thank you for an unforgettable holiday.

Great deal price/quality
Hi,
-Reliability: they delivered as specified in the tour description.
-Paiment: We didn't bring al the cash on the plane for the payment. Because we thought we could get it from an Atm when we landed in Kenia. This was not the case, but they were flexible and let us pay by transfering the total amount
Car: old van type with roof that opens. Broke down 2 times. Definitely a car that has already done alot of safari's.
-Animals: We saw alot of animals including the "big five
-Stay: Manjaru tented camp:Very nice, intimate place that limited the number of people.
Nguli: Awsome viewing points, with animal drinking pools. The rooms and hotel were a bit old fashioned.
Salt lick:Luxery lodge.
Voi lodge:Awsome viewing points, with animal drinking pools. The rooms and hotel were a bit old fashioned
-Conclusion: Great deal of you compare it to others and price/quality whise.
