Memorable Safari with Castro- Thumbs up
Friends
I had no idea of how I should go about it until I was referred by a friend who had done the safari with Karibu safaris kenya. We were a group of five people and we decided to do 3 days maasai mara and 2 days Nakuru National park. Since it was a group safari Robert gave us friendly prices which was our expectation to be honest..haha. We met Robert when they came to pick us at out hotel in Nairobi with Casro being our guide. This happened really fast and within 20 min we were all packed and off to Maasai Mara with Castro. We had an opportunity to take photos at the great rift valley which was our first stop. Maasai Mara is far from nairobi so travelling as a group make it more enjoyable. also, our second stop was for luch...sorry I cant remember the place but it was nice because of the food and even the services were exemplary. Ohhh..."forgive me" for this one...The road towards maasai mara after the some point was rough considering that it is a rural area but I consider a great experience since I had not done it before. We got to maasai mara at 3 pm and we were assigned our rooms by the welcoming staffs (thanks to Samuel & Joseph) after getting coffee. we were ready by 4.30 and Castro was there to pic us again for the evening game drive. Yeeeeeey...I had been waiting for this..The process at the gate was fast since there were not many cars waiting and in a few minutes were got into the park. The first day was great and we were able to spot lions ( just one of the big five to say) and other few animals since the game drive was brief on that day. we had to go back to to the camp at 6.30 and later dinner. The following day was great since Castro stated that it was a full day game drive and we had to carry packed lunch. we had the opportunity to spot all the big five expect for the Rhino . I really appreciate how Castro and his friends communicated when they saw the animals. this helped us to see many animals unlike other groups in the park. besides, the mara river was great with crocodiles. However, by the time we were travelling there was no wildbeast migration - we felt sad and my friend Sandra thought one could maybe cross on its own. The afternoon game drive was easy as we went back to the camp. It was such a great day. Thank you Castro
The last day at mara we decided to visit the maasai village for cultural dances and learning about their culture. We later left for Nakuru and arrived at 4 pm foe evening game drive. I enjoyed the serene environment with plenty of Flamingos....wait wait...I had not seen a Rhino at Maasai mara... Now this was the home of Rhinos. I saw close to 10 rhinos at a close range. also, we decided to book Nakuru Lodge which is one of the best places you can choose to be. the following day we did an early morning game drive until 11.30 and left for Nairobi.
This was such a memorable experience. Thanks to all the staffs that facilitated and made our experience better. Robert, Castro our guide, Samuel and joseph at mara Camp and not forgetting those at nakuru, you did a commendable job.
I would recomend karibu Safaris when you 're planning yours.

Arony the SUPER guide! He goes above expectations! Our Honeymoon ended with a Magical experience!
People may search for luxurious and expensive tours, BUT as a person who grew up in Kenya I can confidently say that Karibu safaris is all you need.
I highly recommend our super guide "ARONY"! He is very passionate about his responsibility as a guide who is very knowledgeable and educated us about each and every animals we saw on the safari.
Thanks to his huge network with others, in a one day safari, we saw the whole big five except sadly the rhino.
Arony knows what you need and his passion will not fail you! Once I am back I will recommend Karibu safaris~ ESPECIALLY ARONY!
Thank you for your great service Arony, thanks to you my wife and I had an unforgettable experience!

Incredible & Magical
We were so lucky to have Raymond as our guide, he is a Great person and a Super driver. He made possible that we saw the big 5. Every time we saw an animal he tried to get as nearest possible for us to enjoy the view and see the animals. I hope some day we can come back to enjoy another Game drive with him. 1000000% recommended.
Ask for Raymond. It was amazing with him

ALWAYS GOING THE EXTRA WAY!
The experience was magical, from the beginning to the end. Raymond, our guide was incredibly special with us, always going the extra mile to try and show us every corner of the Masai Mara and Naruku Lake. He was kind with the animals and the environment, with a lot of knowledge and did not double a second to share it with us. REALLY RECOMMENDED. If you have the opportunity to choose Raymond, you will never regret. THANK YOU!
