Outstanding, definitely book with Karibu! Can even cater to vegans!
My girlfriend and myself went on two tours organised by Karibu Safaris.
The first was a 3-day 2-night tour to Maasai Mara for safari. Our guide Gibson was exceptional, knowledgeable about the national park and very organised. We were picked up and dropped off on time and our experience exceeded expectations not to mention the great wildlife we got to see.
Next we did a 4-day/3-night hike up Mount Kenya. My girlfriend and myself were the only ones in the group and we were accompanied by a team of four including two porters, a chef and a guide. We had two guides as they changed due to another traveller on a different day having some issues which they appeared to handle professionally and efficiently. Both our guides Jimmy and Sam were tremendous and really were vital in us getting to the summit safely. Neither of us are experienced hikers, and my girlfriend was experiencing high altitude for the first time but both guides were patient, calm and really helped us out.
Also worth noting that we are both vegan and when we asked them at the start of each trip (both Maasai Mara and Mount Kenya) to not serve us meat/fish/dairy/eggs/honey etc they had no issues at all and the food we received was amazing. Stevie was the chef on the hike and did a great job making a variety of vegan food for us.
We are so grateful to have gone with Karibu Safaris and would recommend any others to do the same.

Review about Tsavo West National Park by Family Hansson
The nature was beautiful but very bushy which made the animals harder to spot.

Review about Tsavo East National Park by Family Hansson
Beautiful nature with not too much bushes so that animals were easy to spot even from a distance.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Family Hansson
The nature was beautiful and green with grass and water. We spotted a lot of animals. The animals were not afraid of the jeep so we were able to come close and got beautiful pictures. We got a very nice view of Mount Kilimanjaro as well.

Top quality and intimate wildlife viewing - luxury done well without going over the top
Being one of the largest privately-owned game reserves in South Africa with an unfenced eastern border with Kruger National Park and the still flowing (late August) Sand River going through the length of the reserve, it should not have come as a surprise that we had seen the big five and much more in the first 24 hours at Mala Mala. The quality of the sightings was exceptional.
Wildlife viewing at Mala Mala is as intimate as it could ever get. The accommodation was beyond expectations - it was luxurious but without pretence. The quality of food was top draw, but served with a delicate simplicity. The gentle professionalism of the camp staff was welcome and the passion, knowledge and professionalism of our wonderful Ranger, Nic Nel, capped it all off.
With Nick’s invaluable expertise the wildlife viewing over the four days provided us a truly unforgettable experience that included:
― daily leopard sightings, including the Nkoveni female making a kill and the Island bend female and cub sharing a kill;
― several prides of lion, including the four inquisitive three-month old cubs of the Kambula pride as well as the rare sighting of two females in a tree fighting over a leopard-kill of an Impala;
― daily sightings of white rhino, including young;
― numerous elephants, including an incredible half an hour in the middle of a 20+ herd and the unforgettable antics of the young ones showing off;
― spending time at a spotted hyena den with curious and ungainly pups playing around, but being totally alert scampering into the den at the slightest sound or shadows cast by birds flying overhead;
― buffalo, kudu, a honey-badger, ostrich, hippo, owls, eagles, voyages of giraffe, baboons, saddle-bill storks with young, the unusual hamerkop heron, kingfishers and much more.
We cannot see how the wonderful Mala Mala experience can be bettered. The one negative of this place - saying goodbye. What was to be our ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ safari is not so! We are already planning our next visit. Totsiens for now.

Excellent safaritour and holiday in Kenya with KingTomondo Safaris
When we booked our travel to Kenya and asked for offers from different safari providers the reception from KingTomondo was exceptionally welcoming. The contact person Lisa was very nice and accommodating and took into account our specific wishes. She prepared a great trip for us! She also helped us with the logistics from and to the airport and to book a private snorkeling trip to Wasini Island. With KingTomondo we felt very secure from the very first contact. Our Safari guide and driver Hassan had exceptional knowledge about the wildlife animals and the nature as well as the history and culture of Kenya. This made our safari tour into something much more than just a drive in the parks, and made our experience of Kenya a very pleasant one. Hassan's very good driving skills, knowledge about the surroundings and pleasant manners made us feel safe and well taken care of during the whole trip. We highly recommend KingTomondo Safaris. This is a company you can trust to make the best of your trip.

Tony and his team did their best to ensure my travel partner and I were comfortable at all times!
The food and accommodation on this mobile safari exceeded my expectations. Tony makes a lot of jokes, but is well educated on current political and cultural affairs and how they effect the natural environment. Tony is quick to reply in English via WhatsApp and email. The safaro was truly unforgettable.

Excellent Safari of a Lifetime to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve with Endless Summer Tours
Our safari with Endless Summer Tours far exceeded our expectations. Our private guide, Steve, was well-versed, enthusiastic, calm under pressure (with a pair of bull elephants in the road), and a generous and accomplished cook. The animals were amazing, the housing comfortable, the opportunities and flexibility for optional activities, such as snorkeling in the Indian Ocean and visiting a cheetah preserve, added variety and interest to our trip, and Steve's knowledge of the indigenous peoples, history, flora, and animals made for an outstanding experience that we will never forget. In Steve's favorite words: "It was Epic"! Dealing with the company was straightforward, and we always got prompt answers to any questions we had. We felt very taken care of, and recommend Endless Summer Tours to anyone.
