Great first impression of Kenya in a few days
It is amazing how much we saw in just a few days. It is not a trip when you want to rlax, bcause it is a lot of driving. Ialways felt safe on the road, because our driver Richard was excellent. If you only have afew days and want to see a lot, choose this kind of trip.

Great experience! We saw the Big Five!
The communications were very well organised, the camp where we slept was also very nice. Our tent had a private toilet and a bed. The safari tour was also great, we saw many animals and cheetas hunt. It was very exciting!! I recommend it.

Just perfect!
I am a Spanish solo traveller and booked a 12-day safari with Karibu Safaris and I can say that I am satisfied 100% with the experience. This has definitely been a trip in a lifetime!
My itinerary was all about covering as many national parks as possible and I am glad to have done so. Otherwise, I would have surely missed the chance to see some animals. The parks included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Tarangire. I have seen ALL kinds of animals: the big five from a close distance (leopard and rhino are quite difficult to see) and others such as jackals, hyrax, adama lizards, crocodiles, hippos... We even had hyenas and mongoose freely wondering around our camp in Serengeti!
I have to say that as chaotic as the organization may seem, everything turns out fine at the end. Do not expect great communication or information from the company in the western european style. Neither do so with following your schedule as previously stated. Some changes are always made on the go, but at least in my case, always for the better. African people are most of the times nice and friendly and won't try to scam you. In my case, the company even arranged one extra day and were helpful at all times.

Very nice experience for a budget safari (6 days Amboseli, Nakuru lake, Masai Mara)
Group of 3 (2 adults and a 13 year old girl)
Αlthough we had to reverse the route starting from Amboseli instead of Masai Mara as was the plan it was a very good experience. ΅ We saw many animals in Amboseli and Masai Mara (4 out of Big5, no Leopard) but not much of the lake Nakuru because of the heavy rain.
Edward (our driver) is a great tourguide with a lot of knowledge. Very kind and he told us interesting information about the animals as well as their habits. He had a good feeling when to stop for some photos and even when we had a special stopping request he always stopped for us.
We had great time in the parks, but be prepared to sit in a car for a long especially when moving from one park to another.
The food was ok but almost the same every day
This safari is not for anyone expecting comfort and luxury, but if your goal is to see amazing animals at an affordable price then do the tour
We recommend safari experience with Karibu and especially Edward as a driver.

Well organized and knowledgeable
The safari was very well organized. Our driver made sure we had a good time and was good at spotting animals. We saw mostly everything from lions, cheetah, leopard to elephants. He waited patiently for us to take pictures and checked in with the group. The accodomation was also good and food was good too. We are vegetarian so enough options. Overall a good way to see Masai marrai on a budget.

Wonderful experience, highly recommend
My husband and I did a six day safari (Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli) with Arony as our guide. We had an incredible time. Arony is super knowledgeable, friendly, and an all around fantastic tour guide. I will definitely be requesting him next year when I come back for a second safari with my parents and brother. The head office was very responsive over what’s app, answered all my questions, and then organized a train for us from Nairobi to Mombasa at the end of our trip. Will definitely be booking again. Impeccable customer service.
