Great and Affordable Safari Tour Operator!
What a great company! I walked into the office to see what they had on offer - the next morning I was on my way joining a 5-day budget Safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Hells Gate led by our amazing guide Dan Castro. His talent and experience really showed as he made sure the whole trip went smoothly - and more importantly that we spotted a wide-range of different animals (incl. The Big Five and the wildebeest migration). Dan really went out of his way to make sure we had a front-row seat to the spectacle of Kenyan safari. To give an example: we had a rare sighting of a leopard, saw two lions successfully hunt a zebra and spotted a lion high up in a tree. I feel very lucky and privileged to have seen such sights.
Dan's ability to drive in difficult circumstance also really stood out during the trip as the park provide some challenging terrain. I personally also very much appreciated the music he would play (Dan has excellent taste) during long hauls between different national parks.
Karibu safaris was also really flexible when I wanted to make a change to my booking. I initially booked a 6-day safari, but asked to switch to 5-days during the safari in order to stay with the group (as the others were staying for only 5-days). Dan contacted the office in Nairobi and ensured this was no problem.
Do make sure to bring enough extra cash during the safari, because there are some hidden costs, such as bike rentals, Masai village entry and of course lots and lots of tipping.

Excellent
We went for a 4 day Safari (Maasai Mara & Lake Nakuru, mid-range) and it was absolutely amazing. Our driver Raymond helped us in every way and is the best driver. He knows all the best spots to see the animals, knows the local people and other guides, furthermore he is a very safe driver on the highways between Nairobi and the parks. Thanks to Raymond we saw many animals (including the big 5) and we had a unique experience!

We spent three days and two nights in Masai Mara and everything was amazing.

Excellent experience with Karibu
We spent 4 days with Collins our guide. We visited Masai Mara Park, Lake Nashiva, Nakuru. Collins is a super good driver, he always took us closer to the animals. He taught us a lot about animals and about Kenya. Hakuna matata.

The first and best Safari ever done. Castro the best driver
This experience has been fantastic. We did the 7 days safari with Hell's Gate, Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Every day has been full of emotions. We've seen a lot of animals, and with the driver Castro we did things i never expected. He's done all was possible to give us the opportunity to see the big five. And we've seen a lot of them. Excellent drive and excellent experience over all. We will never forget this.
the price is lower than other agencies and despite this we have been in excellent places, with a great van and valid restaurants.
Is it all well comunicated?? Thanks a lot Castro and Karibu
Questa esperienza è stata fantastica. Abbiamo fatto il safari di 7 giorni con Hell's Gate, Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru e Amboseli. Ogni giorno è stato ricco di emozioni. Abbiamo visto molti animali e con il pilota Castro abbiamo fatto cose che non mi sarei mai aspettato. Ha fatto tutto il possibile per darci l'opportunità di vedere i big five. E ne abbiamo visti molti. e anche molti altri animali. Guida eccellente ed esperienza eccellente su tutto. Non lo dimenticheremo mai. il prezzo è più basso di altre agenzie e nonostante questo siamo stati in ottimi posti.
è stato detto tutto? Grazie mille Castro e Karibu
