Fast response, very reasonable price and excellent tour planning.
Over all our experiance is excellent. We worked with Robert and he gave us great service. He respond very quick and solve any problem or question we had with a reasonable time.
Our tour guide Aroni and Joel were very good. Robert and Aroni went out of their way to locate our missing luggage and bring to the park on the next day. They had to send someone back to the airport the next day. We were really treated as their guest and we are very thankful on that. What they did for us was more than what they have agreed to do for us.
Aroni was calm and he make sure we covered everything. In our opinion he was number one. I suggest you ask for him. He make sure your luggage are covered so they don't get dusty every time he loads it. He gave a true meaning to the "hakuna matata" saying. We had no worries while we were touring with him. He managed to help us see the big fives.
Robert helped as getting transportation on the extra day we had their in Nairobi. That was not part of the tour and he was even willing to send us someone to give us a city tour. Thanks for that too.
My only complain if any would be the hotel to be communicated better. They ask us pay and when we told them to call Robert. He took care of it right away. It seems like a communication gap between the hotel and victor who also work at the tour company. Victor apologized once he knew that he was wrong. Things like this could be irritating do be careful victor.
In general, we are very happy with the service and recommend this company to our friend and families with no hesitation.
Thanks for the job well done.

Great Value for a Safari
The accommodations and food were far above our expectations. The game drives delivered on showing us a myriad of animals including cheetahs, leopards and lots of lions. The driving was good, but we weren’t given as much information about our itinerary or the animals as we wanted. The itinerary had us crisscrossing the country too much. I would have liked to have started at Amboseli, then spent more time in Masai Mara. The Lake Nakuru segment was too much driving and not worth while. But Karibu company went out of their way to make our experience enjoyable. I’d book with them again. For a budget safari, you get an amazing experience.

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.
