Great Balance
Communication was fine, service was great on the safari itself. Food was excellent & homemade. Organization on the trip itself was very good. Private reserves are the way to go as animals are the same but guides are more knowledgeable and the ability to go off the path to track is much more engaging than Kruger. A single day at Kruger was plenty and our 4-day trip was well balanced. Transportation to and from Kruger was unpleasant and there was no sense of urgency to help us make out flight after the safari.

World's most beautiful desert adventure
Thanks to the very quick reply and smooth communication with the guide, I was able to complete every arrangement of my private tour in just two days. From the time of pick up until drop off at the airport, his time management was perfect. His humour and hospitality have made it a very relaxing and enjoyable my first Namibian trip. Not only the beautiful desert, but camping in the wilderness and the beautiful starry sky have become my special memories. Thanks a lot!

"Great life experience safari" with karibu safaris in kenya.
we booked a 3 days and 2 nights safari to maasai Mara with karibu safari in kenya. our driver was Mr. Raymond and it was planned and arranged by Derrick mailu.thier prices and flexibility are good as compared to other operators.the drive was nice from the pick at utawala though the morning was rainy. after a pleasant drive we ended up in maasai mara and went for evening park drive.we stayed at mara elephant spring- tented camp which provided Delicious meals and good staff(cooks).the full day park drive ,after a night of heavy rain brought us wonderful view of animals(different species) at close range. Raymond our tour guide was knowledgeable and kind. had a good feeling when to stop for a photo and even for special request. we managed to see 4 of the big five. (didn't see rhino).i would definitely recommend karibu safari for any experience.

Great safari, pity about the construction.
Overall we had a fantastic time. The northern half of Murchison Falls National Park is beautiful, with all the wildlife we were hoping for. Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and Budongo Chimp Tracking are both magical experiences; it was an incredible privilege to be on foot and so close to wild animals.
All of our guides were fantastic, helpful and informative. They all added a lot to our experience.
Sadly, it seems an accommodation hiccup caused a last-minute timetable rearrangement, which meant we spent a big chunk of time driving through construction and roadworks in the southern half of the park.
Bushman Safaris organised really nice accommodations for us, and aside from the unexpected changes causing some uncertainty, we were really happy with the experience we had. We'd love to see more of Uganda sometime!

Good experience
Everything very well. The experience of the safari at Serengueti, Gnorongoro, Tarangyre and Manyara lake was fantastic with Florian as the driver and Dula as the cooker. The visit at Kilimanjaro surrondies was very well specially the village of coffee makers, very kindly people. The driver and his fellow Jony was all the moment giving us all we needed. The only things we didn't like of the organization was the payment with cash. Humpry, the manager had told previously we could pay with card. The other thing we didn't like was the acomodations in a different hotel planed.The price of the trip isvery competitive.

Wonderful new experience
Federica is an amazing guide, she understood what we needed and wanted for this vacations/safari. We've seen a lot of animals and amazing places. Road time were right to manage our backpain issues.
It was a magnificent trip and we are looking forward the next one !

Reliably and in time. Friendly and helpful personnel.
Everything was great! Very good impressions! Raymond is really very experienced driver. Secured drive under extremely challenging conditions. In general, service satisfied the price. However, more telling about the animals while being in Masai Mara would be desirable.

Good experience with many kinds of wild lives
I took 4 days safari in Masai Mara NR and Lake Nakuru.
It was good experience as we could see many kinds of animals such as lions, elephant, giraffes, cheetahs and rhinos and so on. As our guide was very good at finding animals, we could see many kind of animals. I appreciate that.
We came back to Nairobi from Safari tour a day before our departure day.
Though our first plan did not include accommodation in Nairobi for the previous night of departure day, the guy from Trip Advisor arranged one night accommodation and airport transfer. It was very helpful.
One thing I would like to point out that during the safari tour exact plan was not clear for me.
Though I received a plan by email sent by Trip Advisor, it was not exact same to actual travel.
I would like to say that if someone had given us explanation about our journey before the tour, it would have been better.
However I am quite satisfied with our travel.
I can say that if you are thinking about going to safari in Kenya, Trip Advisor is good option.
