Family memories to last a lifetime
Spirit of Kenya lives up to its name in providing a trip that embodied the spirit of the country. From the incredibly prompt and helpful coordination with our planner, Laura, to prepare and plan to the knowledgeable and kindness of our guide, Bonnie. We brought our children (10 and 12) on our safari and our itinerary and guide provided a safe, welcoming, and memorable adventure for the whole family.
We were picked up from the airport by Moses who graciously offered to come get us the next morning for a tour around Nairobi. This was not part of our scheduled trip, which started the following day, but we had an amazing time visiting the Giraffe Center, the Kobe Tough Bead factory and the National Museum. He was kind, funny, and full of local knowledge. He also connected us to our safari guide, Bonnie so we could coordinate for our first morning.
Our 8-day safari included visits to Samburu, Ol Pejeta, Aberdare, Lake Naivasha, and Maasai Mara. Bonnie was the most amazing safari guide we could have asked for. He is calm, patient, prompt, and awed by the wildlife we all were looking for. He took us to see the country’s tallest waterfall in Aberdare, seemed to have an uncanny ability to find the wildlife we were seeking, and was excellent company on our drives. His calm demeanor and reassurance was perfect for our kids and us too.
This was by far the most expensive trip we have ever taken and it was hands down worth every penny. The coordination, logistics, service, and ground covered were huge! We also did a lot of research on other outfitters and group travel options. Spirit of Kenya offered the best value for us for the length, number of days, and flexibility. We cannot say enough good things about our experience.
Professional and caring company that delivers best safari you can dream of!
From the very first email contact with Laura in the office to being dropped off back in Nairobi our safari experience was great.
Laura was very professional and helpful with designing our safari and with all the logistics- MASAI MARA, NAIVASHA LAKE AND AMBOSELI. Kennedy, our driver/guide was exceptionally good. He was very attentive to our needs, very punctual, knew where the animals were and had interesting information to share. He has a good sense of humour and charm that made the long drives very comfortable. His driving skills and patience with traffic excelled as well as his respect and helpfulness towards other drivers and visitors.
We saw plenty of wildlife in the three parks we visited, and the icing on the cake was a clear view of the Kilimanjaro in Amboseli.
The lodges chosen by Spirit of Kenya have the conservation ethos and involvement with local communities that we were looking for as well as excellent food and standards. And their staff were super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend to do a private safari in a land cruiser with knowledgeable and professional drivers and you definitely get this with Spirit of Kenya.
Unforgettable Experience
We had the best tour guide in the Mara. Khan was phenomenal and took great care of us. His communication and experience allowed us to see all the animals we were looking for. We even had 2 leopard encounters. He knew all of the secret spots that you would like as a tourist.
The two places Spirit of Kenya recommended for us to stay were elite. Okepelia and the Cliff.
The only safari operator you need to consider and we researched plenty
We were a group of seven and chose Spirit of Kenya after being impressed by how quickly and helpfully Filipa responded to our initial enquiries. That responsiveness honestly set them apart from every other operator we contacted, and it turned out to be a good sign of things to come.
Our guides Nester and Joseph exceeded all expectations. Nester in particular has an exceptional depth of knowledge wildlife, birds, local ecology that none of us had encountered in previous safari experiences. He also has a wonderful rapport with communities around the Masai Mara, which gave our group genuine, unscripted insights into Maasai culture and daily life.
When local protests created potential disruptions to our itinerary, both guides handled everything calmly and expertly, getting us to each destination safely. It was reassuring to be in such capable hands.
Logistically, the trip was flawless every hotel check-in was smooth and well arranged, and thoughtful touches like the Spirit of Kenya branded water bottles showed real attention to detail.
If you are considering Spirit of Kenya, don’t hesitate. Ask for Nester and Joseph as your guides, and you will not be disappointed :-)
