Vaule for the Spend
Communications are great. Robert was very informative and quick responded. Ramond the guide was very active and tried to give maximum experience at first two days. but We couldnt do much in third day. We supposed to go for a morning game drive but didnot made it. Accommodations need to be bit more upgrade since limited facilities were available. Karibu is overall good valued for the money.

Amazing!
I am very excited to write this review. Karibu Safaris in Kenya offered us the cheapest option amongst 5 companies I have asked. For a reasonable price, we were able to experience the full safari excitement that we are looking for. Robert is an excellent guide with amazing driving skills. The road was difficult but Robert’s skills kept us safe all throughout our 4days journey. He did made it sure that we will see the big 5. Cool and very patient guide. To be honest, it was daunting to book a tour online but this company exceeded my expectation.

The best experience of my life!
We visited Masai Mara early in June and we were lucky that the wildebeest migration has started early this year. We had booked only a 2-day safari which is effectively 2 half days and covers only a small part of Masai Mara. Our tour guide suggested us to extend it for a day, in which the second day is a full day safari and goes up to the Mara river where the wildebeest migration starts. We took the 3-day safari and it was the best decision ever. The wildebeest migration in one of the new seven natural wonders of the world. There we 2-3 million wildebeest dotting the plains of Masai Mara. We saw many lions, lionesses, cheetah, elephants, hippos, a rhino, gazelle, giraffe, zebras, topi antelope, impalas, ostrich, crowned cranes, a variety of storks and kingfishers, secretary bird, vultures, warthogs (Pumba), baboons, Nile crocodile and Nile monitor lizard.
Our driver Raymond had the eye of an eagle and could spot animals from a distance. He spotted lions far away and drove close to it so that we could have a better look and capture many pictures. Name an animal, and Raymond will ensure that you will see it. On the third day, he suggested we visit the Masai village instead of the safari which was a good decision too. We learnt a lot about the culture and practices of the Masai tribe and many friends back home and on Facebook are more interested in the Masai tribe than the wildlife of Masai Mara.
I highly recommend a Masai Mara safari with Karibu Safaris in Kenya for a minimum of 3 days.

Very friendly and professional safari guides.They sincerely tried to accomodate our needs and wishes
Communications were very punctual.Service from airport pickup to drop back in airport was good.
The choice of hotels and tents was not upto our expectations.We should have found out more before booking but the wonderful safaris and co operative tour guides Aroney and Dan really made up.Thanks, Karibu for a wonderful experience.

Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, Nairobi
I recommend Karibu Safaris for its overall experience in Kenya. Robert - owner was very informative in providing necessary information via email/WhatsApp prior to booking (cash is gold). Julius was very welcoming/helpful/on time for airport arrival & departure. The whole team (Raymond, Jimmy, Jeffrey, Dan/Victor, Amberose, Maxwell, Charity) was very friendly, attentive in making sure you have memorable Safari experience. Besides your luck, I suggest 4 days in Masai Mara for maximum big 5 & other animals seeing, 1 day in Nakuru to see white/black rhinos/flamingos, 1 1/2 full day in Naivasha to do boat ride, bicycling, gorge drive. Then 3 days in Amboseli to see mainly elephants & hopefully Mt. Kilimanjaro on clear morning/evening. Depending on your flight schedule, it’s nice to see Giraffe centre, baby elephant orphanage & discover Nairobi. Thank you for wonderful stay. I will refer my friends & come back again with Karibu Safaris.

Great trip!
Definitely a great trip, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The only reason I haven’t rated as a 5 is because of some of the lack of communication involved. I hadn’t realized that everyone in my group would not be staying in the same hotel with me, or even staying the same length of time at the park. This led to some coordination challenges, but all in all this never detracted from my experience. I also never revived an itinerary of my trip, so think that improved communication may be an area for some improvement.
All in all though the drivers were great, and always super accommodating (even changing a flat tire in less then 10 minutes!). Karibu was also extremely responsive to my messages at all times of day, which I really appreciated. Definitely the best value for its reasonable price compared to other operators.
