The Ultimate Personalized Safari Experience
Paul Tickner helped us plan the perfect safari for us, keeping in mind our interests and abilities. The result was a memorable three week experience that included (at Paul's suggestion) some much appreciated rest and relaxation before the long journey home. This trip of a lifetime far exceeded our expectations - and our expectations were high! We were impressed by Paul's meticulous attention to detail. We were always met as we stepped off our internal flights by a representative ready to whisk us away to our next adventure, our guides were knowledgeable and professional. We were privileged to have Paul himself as our guide in Ruaha, his home turf. His knowledge of the ecosystem and culture truly enhanced our experience. We loved it all so much, we want to return!

Bad start but good end
The first thing is that the driver was excellent and very experienced. Aron is best at taking positions abd chasing animals in Safari game driving. The other thing was that the tent camp was much safer and in good conditions than we thought. Meal was good and internet was ok. Also it is really great to experience such nature.
Apart from this, I must say we experienced a really bad thing. Their email was hacked and we had stress over days even before our journey starts. But they funded our trip because our money was stolen.
Second bad thing was because this is a budget tour, you should think you already accept risking things. So beware that you may come across with hard to deal with kind of things.
The operaters knew how to deal with things. We were 5 people from age of 28 to 60s and none of us found it too hard. I wish you all good luck for the big fiv

Excellent service, excellent staff, quick response and always punctual
I got to know Karibu safaris from my online search and contacted them same as I did with others which I also found online. What caught me was their response time, very quick with questions answered. Even though this was a budget safari, i had the opportunity to discuss the safari options till I felt ok with the suggestions. On the Safari, the driver/guides Richard& Dennis were very punctual when it came to pick up & drop off times, impressively punctual, very friendly, knowledgeable about the animals & ensured we saw the big 5. They never complained or seemed to be in a hurry but ensured we got a good view of the animals and had taken good pictures. Imagine taking care of the diverse needs of 8 adults on a safari & no one had anything negative to say.One thing to note with Karibu is always make specific inquiries about issues/information received for clarity sake. Do not assume any information. It was an excellent experience & we never felt abandoned or stranded at any point.

A truly authentic Kenyan experience with a friendly knowledgeable tour guide
It was a lot of driving more than expected. I was a little unaware of the itenerary. I don't think you should go to lake nakuru anymore because many tourists, including myself, expect to see many flamingos. At least tell the guests before they go they won't see that. The food is also not meant for American digestive system maybe take alternatives or medicine

Amazing time, great booking process
I was having a real hard finding a safari last minute and was lucky enough to stumble unto this company.
Communication was great, and I was able to book a 2 night adventure a couple of days before.
I did the night 3 day camping at Pliansberg park. Not only did I get to see the big 5 but on the second day we had some extra time and the guide suggested we go to Sun city, a really nice resort by the park that I had no idea even existed.
I ended up going and getting to see something completely different and thus having two amazing experiences.
Also, I was lucky enough that i was only there with Trystan, from safari with us, and since no one else had boked we had private tours every day.
I would deff recommend, to someone looking for a safari tour in nice comfortable tents

Thanks for a life-changing trip!
We have just completed a fantastic 18-day trip with Thinus that has left us with a lasting impression of the diversity and natural beauty of the Namibian landscape. We spent time in the cities of Windhoek and Swakopmund, saw amazing wildlife and visited the Living Museums of the Bushmen, the Himba and the Damara People. We saw ancient rock engravings and paintings, the Skeleton Coast, the Erongo Mountains, the Namib Desert and the dunes at Soussusvlei. It was a life-changing trip. As a guide Thinus is knowledgeable, experienced, professional and accommodating. We are convinced that he knows every dirt road in the country. His stories about growing up in Damaraland as well as his observations of Namibia’s growth and development helped us have a better understanding of the country. The lodges that he chose for us were comfortable and atmospheric and throughout the trip we felt looked after and safe. During the planning stages of the trip, Thinus and his team were responsive and helpful. We would recommend CrissCross Safaris to anyone interested in experiencing the richness of Namibia. Thanks, Thinus, for an amazing trip!
A superb experience, far exeeding expectations.
We had a fantastic time on the tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and provided interesting facts en route and within Mikumi national park.
Transport was very comfortable and well maintained. The accomodation consisted of bungalows inside the national park, services and condition were excellent. Food was of delicious.
