Experience of a lifetime
Excellent service provided by Ajay from the minute we were picked up till the time we were dropped off. Our guide Jessie was very knowledgeable and an excellent driver. Amazing accommodation where all our needs and requests were catered for. Highly recommended. Was only there for 3 days and will be returning in the near future for a bit longer.
A huge thank you to Ajay and the team for everything.

Exceptional Safari Experience
We booked a 9 days private tour with Mufasa through Pauline and our tour guide, who became a friend, was Joshua.
Pauline was very quick and efficient with all of our inquiries; very flexible with all the last minute changes and made the booking experience effortless.
We had a great time with our tour guide Joshua, he ensured we were safe and happy every day. He has over 3 decades of experience and it made a huge difference in our trip. He asked us from the beginning of what we were most excited to see and learn about and then made sure we saw what we had told him we love.
He is a wealth of knowledge; he had an answer to all of our questions. He was entertaining and funny. We went to Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. He knew where to look for the animals; what was the best positioning of the vehicle, so we can take spectacular photos - i.e. with Mount Kenya in the back, with the colorful African sunrise or sunset as a background, etc.
We were mostly first to find pride of lions and hunting lionesses, playful rhinos, animals crossing in front of us, behind us and were surrounded by many giraffes on a few occasions. We were mostly alone to enjoy the animals and learn about them.
We felt like we were accompanied by the Mayor of Mara - everyone knew him from the other tour guides to the lodges’ employees to the rangers and all were happy to see him, which says a lot about him and his work ethic.
He told us at the very beginning that: ‘The animals are my bosses, they give me employment, so I respect them a lot!’ We really enjoyed spending all 9 days with him; we were never rushed, always felt like what we wanted to see and explore was his priority and by time we were to leave we felt sad our time was coming to an end.
Thank you Joshua and Mufasa for creating some wonderful memories and for sharing your knowledge with us! Asante Sana!

Reliable and good service
We did the 5 days / 4 nights Masai Mara-Nakuru-Naivasha package. Was a great experience overall, loved it all.
You're taken care of all the way, eventhough the transitions (if you do the five whole days), with van and driver changes, can be confusing. Our three drivers (Raymond, Albert, Steven) were great (nice and very knowledgeable, your learn a lot about the animals), but special mention for Raymond, whom we spent the most time with as he was our guide for Masai Mara. Absolutely amazing driver, fun guy, knows the park like his own pocket so we didn't miss any opportunities to see good animals (we saw everything there but leopards and rhinos, but you can "easily" see rhinos in Nakuru).
The places we stayed at night weren't all great, but overall Karibu Safaris did a nice job. The tent camp at Masai Mara was awesome, good beds, amazing food (all your food is taken care of through the trip, and you have water bottles during safaris. If you want more water at night, you'll have to buy your own), and a close contact with Masai villagers.
Overall, we don't regret our choice and we would definitely recommend Karibu Safaris in Kenya. It's pretty well organised and it made our safaris very enjoyable. We might even come again !

They are professional and friendly
I went to kilimanjaro, Serengeti, Ngrongro and Zanzibar with them. They provide a very informed, polite, friendly, fun and acceptably english speaking guide for each one of them. I communicated with them through whatsapp and payed nothing till i reached there and they were up to their word and meted everything they promised.

Trip of a lifetime
As with the first trip in 2017, we placed the planning and implementation of our second safari in Tanzania in the hands of Gosheni Safaris. It was again confirmed that Gosheni, in addition to perfect planning and organization, attaches great importance to making the trip something very unique. The route and the camps were tailored to our needs. Our 10-day tour in February 2022 took us from Tarangire NP via Ndutu, the Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater. Gosheni attaches great importance to sustainability and has, for example, replaced the classic lunch box with reusable containers, which are filled with freshly cooked food in the camps in the morning, so that we always had a 3-course meal at lunchtime. Instead of plastic dishes, people eat on porcelain and use real cutlery. The white tablecloth was just the icing on the cake.
The fact that our trip became a "trip of a lifetime" was due to our wonderful safari guide Laban Gervas. He accompanied us on our first trip 5 years ago and gave us unforgettable moments, so it was clear to us that it could only be another trip with Laban. He is incredibly attentive, kind and also full of knowledge about the country, people, flora and fauna that we really got every question answered. In the background, he organizes small details, anticipates every wish and adapts perfectly to his team. We are sure that this will not be our last trip to Tanzania, which we will do again with Gosheni Safaris and Laban.

Always brings brightness and joy!
Oh the safari was amazing! One of a lifetime experiences! The Hakuna Matata attitude from the operators like Isaya just enhanced the experience two fold!

The agency and our driver Odis were amazing and easy to handle
We booked the private tour for 2 days in the Masai Mara area. The agency was pretty easy to handle and the communication was totally smooth. Our driver Odis was amazing - fun, kind and he told us a lot about the animals and the greater area. I really recommend going on a game drive with him.

Dreams came true!
Finally, after two years of waiting due to Covid-19, we were able to travel to Kenya on our honeymoon. We felt really appreciated by Classic Journeys and our high expectations were met. Everything was really good, and Classic Journeys also helped us with arranging the pcr-tests.

A fantastic taste of Kenya with wonderful guides
We have just returned from a wonderful trip to Kenya. We were picked up from Nairobi Airport early morning and driven to Ol Pejeta for to nights. We then travelled to Samburu Buffalo Springs for another 2 nights. Next we had a night in the Ark in the Aberdare National Park which was a great experience. From there we headed for a night in Nairobi (really to break our trip as we headed to Amboseli) and fed the giraffes at the Giraffe Centre. Finally 3 nights in the extraordinary and not to be missed Amboseli with the views of Kilimanjaro augmented by the enormous herds of enormous elephants and rich plains game and predators.
Our Guide Shadi was a wonderful knowledgeable man who helped us all understand Kenya, the wildlife and the art of Safari better.
Thanks for a great 10 days - we will be back!
