Kevin, our tour driver was really professional, friendly and helpful
Actually kevin the driver tried to show us all the animals in Amboseli national park and he did it, we saw many animals like gazelle, giraffes, zebras, Hippos, Buffalo and finally the elephants .
Also many birds species as well.

Nice 5 days and 4 nights with Karibu Safaris in Kenya
Tour operator Karibu Safaris is very reliable, punctual and communicative. He offered us a very favorable price for a trip of 5 days and 4 nights for 2 people. We had two guides, in Massai Mara one and Nakuru, Naivasha and Hells gate the other. Both guides were very communicative, punctual, great drivers and tried to do their best for us, even beyond the schedule, for which we are both very grateful and would definitely recommend them to other tourists.

Great safari and cute animals, drivers with attitude, providers with misleading info.
- Safari experience 5 out of 5 stars, lots of animals, beautiful nature - love it.
- We had 3 different drivers, 2 of them had attitude. One made us wait in the morning for him, the other one argued with our safari member and did not want to make an effort to communicate with us.
- The nice driver always had water was us, explained about animals, made an effort to make sure we saw every animal. Thank you Felix!
- The other 2 drivers - did not have water. One of the drivers - did not get water even after we had asked several times and then later reminded us we had to give tips. The other driver did not have enough but later brought us water.
- Hidden extras that were not mentioned - bicycle ride in Hell's Gate 10 USD extra, Walk in natural reserve in Naivasha 30 USD extra (otherwise we would not do anything else), Amboseli morning walk 10 USD extra
- Some game drives were shorter and started later, and the reason was not explained.
- We were promised that there would be 6 passengers in the van and one day we 9 people, most of the days 8!!!! I have messaged the tour provider and they have kindly ignored it.
- Overall experience with tour provider -> It was OK, all animals and birds are cute and beautiful. I would recommend being aware of all the negative sides and if you are happy with those, go ahead and book. If you complain during your trip to the tour provider, most likely you will not get a refund/discount/apologise, you will be ignored. I have a feeling all tour providers are one big organization, promising things, prices might be different, but they are all the same if you go for a budget option.

Very disappointing
PS: This review was originally written in French and translated to English
I was extremely disappointed with the safari experience provided by Karibu. We had booked a three-day safari, but the title was misleading as we were only given a maximum of 10 hours to look for animals. I suggest that they change the name of the safari to better reflect the actual time spent on the safari.
On the first day, we were only in the park for one hour. On the second day, our driver wanted to return at 3 p.m. even though we still had time to search for animals. The driver was also very unfriendly, which spoiled the fabulous experience for us. Raymond, our driver, did not hesitate to remind us that he had long work days, which he compared to ours. He said this was the reason why he had listened to the research. We reminded him that we had paid $700 to keep him on schedule.
We strongly recommend that you move on and choose another provider!
ORIGINAL REVIEW IN FRENCH
Extrêmement déçus de notre safari avec Karibu. Nous avions réservé 3 jours de safari mais cet intitulé est mensonger, sachez que vous n’aurez que 10h tout au plus de recherche d’animaux ! Il serait donc préférable de changer le nom du safari…
Premier jour 1H dans le parc, 2ème jour notre chauffeur a voulu rentrer à 15h alors qu’il nous restait du temps de recherche.. Chauffeur par ailleurs très antipathique qui nous a gâché cette expérience fabuleuse… En effet « Raymond » n’a pas manqué de nous souligner qu’il avait de longues journées de travail (en osant comparer aux nôtres!!!) c’est pourquoi il avait écouté les recherches.
Nous lui avons rappelé que nous avions payé 700 dollars pour qu’il respecte le programme prévu.
Nous vous recommandons vivement de passer votre chemin et choisir un autre prestataire
