Great Value for the Price
Did a 7 Day Safari and was very nice. The accommodation were comfortable, plenty of food and friendly people. Saw all of the big 5 except Leopards The Safari guide was very knowledgeable of the animals and gave us excellent insight not only about the animals but also about the landscape and trees. Next time however I would do a shorter safari, after a while we were seeing the same animals. Still a nice adventure’

Our trip was wonderful
We traveled to Tanzania for the first part of our trip, staying in Moshi to do a day hike to the waterfalls, a village visit, and a day hike to Mount Kilimanjaro. The hike was hard, but such a great experience. Highly recommend this in your itinerary.
We then traveled to Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, and the Northern Serengeti for the safari portion if our trip. Tarangire was beautiful and had so many amazing animals. Our guide was very thorough. The camp was a bit far from the park, but that is just something to keep in mind when deciding when you will leave to get back for meals, relaxing, etc. We then traveled to Lake Manyara. I do wish we had skipped this park as we did not see many animals besides monkeys and a few hippos in the water. Many of the roads were flooded and it was very crowded with cars, many of which caused traffic backups in the park.
Our guide in the Serengeti was also amazing. He was truly so knowledgeable. One of our favorite activities was the hot air balloon ride. It was breath-taking and such a surreal experience. We highly recommend booking this when in Africa.
For the last part of our trip, we visited Zanzibar. Stone Town was a lot of fun, especially in the evening, but we felt the walking tour was too long. Ours exceed 5 hours when it was supposed to be a little over 1.5. We were exhausted. The beach was perfect and relaxing and a nice end to our adventure.
The booking experience was good and pretty seamless. There were a few times when communication could have been better. I do think this is very important, especially once travelers have landed on the ground. The value for the money was good. We knew we wanted to make this trip amazing and we thank you all for your help in doing so. Wayfairer was reliable, had reliable guides, reliable accommodations, and was truly a pleasure to work with.

All promises were delivered
We enjoyed every single minute of our safari. The lodge recommended was absolute perfection, we were treated like royalty. South Luangwa National Park has amazing wildlife and everything scheduled ran as planned. Absolute satisfaction, except for the fact that our guide spent a lot of time texting on his cell rather than advising us on wildlife. He may have missed some elusive cats because he was more concerned with his personal cell.

Omar was the best guide you can have. Energetic, funny, and very educated
Omar was a great guide and the driver Ramazan was also very good. Both of them together helped us find the main animals before the rest of the group. The game drive is long so it helps that Omar has good energy and he understands what the guests are looking for the most.
As far as communication goes, the organization was very good. The taxi ride, plane ticket, and the accommodations were well communicated. They respond quickly and answered the phone.
We paid about $650 per person for a 2 days safari and I think it was well worth it. Other companies are around $1000 per person. The breakfast was not so great, but lunch and dinner were very good on the safari. We all enjoyed the food more than some restaurants in the city.
I’d rate the reliability very high, mainly because on the game drive there are a lot of things that can go wrong quickly. Since Omar and Ramazan are very experienced they often help other drivers out with issues as they arise. I will say that the car we drove in definitely needed to be serviced as it broke down on the way to the lodge 4-5 times consecutively. Our guides fixed the vehicle, but I think that car is definitely in need of proper repair.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Lee Ann Parden
This is a much smaller park, we enjoyed it, but I would probably skip this park next time. I think it's worth seeing at least once.

Reliable & flexible
Overall everything was good. Logistics were managed quite well but could be a bit more proactive. They adapted the trip according to our interests.

A wonderful and memorable immersion.
I had the privilege of having a wonderful adventure with Karibu Safaris in Kenya. From the first contact, the team was warm and professional. The guide was not only extremely knowledgeable but also passionate, making every moment of the safari lively and captivating. The breathtaking landscapes, encounters with majestic wildlife and the rich local culture were beautifully orchestrated by the team. This trip will remain etched in my memory as a deep and authentic immersion in the heart of Kenya. I highly recommend Karibu Safaris for those looking for an enriching and unforgettable experience. Thank you for these precious memories.

Awesome experience of Ruaha Nationalpark
The early morning drives in Ruaha were amazing. Together with my guide Rainelly I spotted besides many more lions, elefants and a leopard.
Best sight of a leopard ever.
I loved it.
