Great and Affordable Safari Tour Operator!
What a great company! I walked into the office to see what they had on offer - the next morning I was on my way joining a 5-day budget Safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Hells Gate led by our amazing guide Dan Castro. His talent and experience really showed as he made sure the whole trip went smoothly - and more importantly that we spotted a wide-range of different animals (incl. The Big Five and the wildebeest migration). Dan really went out of his way to make sure we had a front-row seat to the spectacle of Kenyan safari. To give an example: we had a rare sighting of a leopard, saw two lions successfully hunt a zebra and spotted a lion high up in a tree. I feel very lucky and privileged to have seen such sights.
Dan's ability to drive in difficult circumstance also really stood out during the trip as the park provide some challenging terrain. I personally also very much appreciated the music he would play (Dan has excellent taste) during long hauls between different national parks.
Karibu safaris was also really flexible when I wanted to make a change to my booking. I initially booked a 6-day safari, but asked to switch to 5-days during the safari in order to stay with the group (as the others were staying for only 5-days). Dan contacted the office in Nairobi and ensured this was no problem.
Do make sure to bring enough extra cash during the safari, because there are some hidden costs, such as bike rentals, Masai village entry and of course lots and lots of tipping.

Very serious and helpful. A very good experience and the people were very kindly
everything was super great we spent 4 days together with the Karibu safaris team. and all recommended booking in nairobi giraffe center and safari to masai mara.
Amazing attention
Edward was amazing. He is very kind and knows everything about Kenya and animals.
He made sure we lived the most complete experience we could.
He is the best spotting animals (we were able to see the big 5 in Masai Mara) and proactive to propose new activities for us.
Would definitely recommend going with him.
Ask for Edward (Lore). Go for a safari and come back with a friend :)

Wonderful Safari Tours with amazing service!
It all starts with their great flexibility!
We were staying at the hotel in Nairobi and a car came to pick us up right on time and exactly as it was planned.
Also, we didn’t have enough cash or right currency to pay for the trip. No problem..
They took us to a ATM and accepted to pay it part dollars/part local currency.
Half way from Nairobi to Masai Mara, we met with our tour guides George and Castro! They took over us for the remainder of the trip! Those guys were amazing!! If you want a great experience ask particulary if you can join their tours…
Excellent service, everything perfectly arranged and on time!
Masai Mara was mindblowing, you will see everything you think you can! They know exactly where are all the best places and are very pratical and phenomenal drivers! I think apart from tours they’re part time drivers in Dakar rally!
After Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru we were suppose to fly to Mombasa, so they arranged transport right to the airport!
It was an amazing experience and a fantastic trip that I would love to do again!!

Aroni was very responsive to all requests, knowlegable, organised, polite and with clear english.
The trip exceeded our expectations. We saw more than we expected, we done more than we expected. The busy schedule was all taken care by our tour guide Aroni so we could let everything go and enjoy moments.

This was the best vacation ever!
Our trip was in late September and early October. Our guide was Raymond, our car was a big comfortable Land Cruiser.
First we were in the Amboseli park. Fortunately, we were lucky with the weather and we saw elephants in the background of Kilimanjaro! Thanks to Raymond - we made great photos. After Amboseli we had a trip to Tanzania - and a few days later we returned to the Masai Mara Park. The number of animals was simply amazing. We filled two memory cards of 128 and 64 GB with photos, and even the phone's memory did not have free space. When we thought we had seen everything, Raymond showed us amazing new animals. Many thanks to him for his professionalism and his knowledge of animals. Marvelous!
This was the best vacation ever! Kenya is an incredibly interesting and welcoming country.

Amazing impressions!
We visited Amboseli and Masai Mara National Parks in Kenya.
Absolutely everything was great: weather, accommodations, food; the trips were very comfortable! We saw many different kinds of animals and birds in the parks.
Many thanks to our guide, Raymond! He was very professional. With his help, we managed to see all animals that we would like to look at. Moreover, we got a lot of information about animals and Kenya at all from him. Also, he helped us with many things such as documents for crossing the borders, hotel in Nairobi choosing.
We recommend Karibu Sarafis and Raymond!

Karibu Safaris got m everything I asked to see in such a short 3-day safari. Worth it.
Ambrose was the best safari guide I could have asked for. We saw 4/5 of the big 5 because of all the hard work he put in to guide us to the best spots. Also, the wildebeast migration was exceptional. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to go on a short safari since it worked out so well for me even though I only booked it a couple days ahead of time after already arriving in Nairobi.
