Great experience!
This was my first safari and I wasn't disappointed at all!! Was a solo traveler, but had no problems because of that!
Food and water were provided as planned throughout the whole period.
PROs:
- managed to see all the Big 5 in Masai Mara thanks to Robert, our guide. Very experienced driver, took us out of some pretty complicated roads, cheers for that! Also stopped at Lake Naivasha even if it wasn't on our schedule, very flexible person!
- in Amboseli Boniface, our guide - very entertaining and funny, plus giving us a lot of information about the park and the animals.
CONs: the accommodations mentioned on the website are not ones you actually book into.

Very good balance of price and quality
Everything was perfect. The only thing I would improve is to comunicate to the guests any change before starting the trip.
The safari and the driver were amazing, the accomodation not bad, and the communication can be improved a little bit.
We want to make an special mention to our driver Arony. He was the best guide we could have.

Amazing experience, my first African safari, very well organised, competent and friendly staff.
Truly unique experience, we saw all the Big5 and so many other animals, always felt we were in the hands of trustable, professional and knowledgeable staff. I’d recommend anyone who is looking for a genuine “no frills” safari to go with Robert and his team at Karibu Safaris.

Its was a very amazing safari!
It was a perfect safari, we saw the Big Five minus the rhinoceros. Samy was the best driver, he helped the other drivers when the car was stuck in the mud. I have had two great days and I have seen many animals. The road is long from Nairobi to the park, but it's fun. Asante sana :)

Budget Adventure with good staff & good visitor
I enjoyed this safari tour. Unfortunately, I joined the tour in rainy season, we met a lot of car stopping by bad road condition. But Mr. Raymond, who was our tour guide and driver, had good driving skill, we avoided car stop. Additionally, We enjoyed communication with other tour visitor. I was afraid because I join alone and I cannot speak English well. If I can visit East Africa again, I want to join the safari tour which operated this tour operator.

The tour was generally well organized.
All the safari games were excellent the drivers as well. There were often unexpected changes and frequent deviations from the scheduled hotels and transfers .
Service very good.
Hotels very good (if not changes would be excellent)
Price very good.
I would recommend to others and choice Karibu safaris again.

Amazing experiences!
My boyfriend and I tok the 5 days safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha, and it was amazing. We arrived day before and there was somebody to pick us up from the hotel the day safari started, then they drive us to the office (a very small room inside some building), since we were earlier than the office worker (it was closed) we had to pay for the trip in the car, what was very weird for me, and i was just praying that it was the wright person i was giving money to, but they had the receipt with my deposit transfer. It went well and when the office lady came we could wait for the bus inside the building with two other clients.
The driver, Sammy, was kind to tell us some informations about places we went to and animals we saw but since sometimes we were sitting on the back of the bus, and there was a lot of noise we couldn't hear everything, such a pity.
Sammy did everything he could to give us the best experience during the whole trip, even when the car broke down he organized an additional activity for the whole group of 7 people, that we did not pay for.
Leaving in tents in Mitimingi Eco Camp was not exactly as i expected but it was enough for two nights of sleep, food was ok and it was almost warm water after some time. We enjoyed the budget tent accommodation. The next two nights were in regular hostel and guest house with good housing standards.
Since people in our group had ordered different tours we had to split on the 4th day and me and my boyfriend stayed alone the last day with our new driver Joseph where we went to Hells gate national park where we rent bikes, were climbing and hiking. It was very relaxing day.
After tour we were transferred to our hotel.

Robert the owner, is a very honest, helpful tour operator.
Our experience was positive with Karibu safari. Robert was very helpful and honorable. Our driver, Edward, was a very competent driver and knowledgeable about safari driving. We always felt safe. The accommodations were modest but adequate for the price. I would recommend this company.

Decent return for the price
we really enjoyed our 5 day safari in masai mara, naivasha and nakuru. it was more than our expectations. the accommodation was satisfactory for a budget tour. raymond is an excellent driver. the roads were awful but he drove very careful. before the safari, whenever i wrote an e-mail, i got a quick answer. bref, karibu safaris is a fantastic tour operator.
