friendly, knowledgeable, punctual, professional
We cannot say enough good things about Spirit of Kenya! Our trip planner Victor and guide Dominic went above and beyond to make the 6-day safari memorable for my mom (72 years old) and me.
From the start, Victor was very responsive to all of our queries and requests, and helped us to create an individualized itinerary, which included stops at Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and Masai Mara.
Our wonderful guide Dominic was friendly, courteous, punctual, and very knowledgeable about Kenya's culture and its wildlife. Dominic navigated the streets of Nairobi as well as the grasslands with ease, and he worked very hard, often coordinating with other guides, to ensure that we saw as many animals (lions, zebra, cheetah, rhinos, hyenas) as possible. The jeep that he drove was fully enclosed and very comfortable. We would recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone looking for a lovely, stress-free trip to Kenya!

Fantastic
We did the seven day private tour leaving from Nairobi visited Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Hells gate and Amboseli parks. Our guide Anthony was great.
The accommodations were great we especially liked the tents at Basecamp, Mara and Tulia in Amboseli as we had views of baboons,elephants and zebras off our porch.
We will need to go back to complete the big five as we were unable to see any leopards, but saw many giraffes ,elephant, zebras and buffalo. We also saw several lions, cheetahs, hyenas and warthogs.

10/10 highly recommend!
My family of 3 traveled in early June from the US for the Roaring Kenya safari. We had a trip of a lifetime! Filipa had quick communication and thorough response in planning the trip. She went above and beyond when we had a travel snafu early in the trip and got everything sorted out for us.
Thomas our guide was so friendly and went above and beyond to make our trip the best! He is so knowledgeable and worked hard to hit all of our must dos and sees.
This was a trio of a lifetime. We hope to get back to Africa again!

Unforgettable Experience with Spirit of Kenya!
had the most incredible trip with Spirit of Kenya! From the very start, everything was perfectly organized and stress-free. The itinerary, accommodations, and overall flow of the trip were seamless.
A special thank you to our guide, Dominic—his knowledge, warmth, dedication and attention to detail made each day so memorable. I felt safe, cared for, and truly immersed in the beauty of Kenya.
Huge thanks to Victor and the whole team for such a smooth and meaningful experience. I’m heading home with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the people and wildlife of this amazing country. Highly recommend!

Experience of a life time
Being on the wheelchair I was not too sure how this will function. From Filipa the tour planner to Michael our driver and guide we are in really good hands. Michael will literally take me in and out of the car and was very attentive to my needs and comfort. The drive itself was amazing. Michael knew the park very well. We determined how long to drive each day. He was very patient
The transparent pricing structure of Spirit of Kenya also ensured we could really choose what we wanted and could afford. A great great experience from start to finish. Especially if you are physically challenged go with this company

Amazing experience!
A unique and memorable experience! The entire experience was absolutely incredible, to which the careful organization of Spirit of Kenya contributed greatly. All the planning of the trip, the selection of accommodations that greatly enriched the experience, the professionalism of the guides who accompanied us, always empathetic, playful and with an extremely important sense of security to ensure the peace of mind of the whole family during the trip. In addition to what was provided by Spirit of Kenya, everything else met expectations, creating unique memories!

Outstanding service and magical experience
My husband and I travelled to Kenya with tour agency Spirit of Kenya as part of our honeymoon.
Our trip was absolutely unforgettable. From the stunning landscapes to the incredible wildlife and the warmth of the people, everything exceeded our expectations. We were lucky to have perfect weather throughout, which made every adventure even more enjoyable.
The safaris in Masai Mara and Amboseli were nothing short of magical. Watching elephants, lions, giraffes, and so many other animals in their natural environment was a dream come true. Every moment felt like a scene from a documentary — only better, because we were living it.
A huge part of what made this trip so special was Bonny, our guide. Traveling with him was a true privilege — he was knowledgeable, kind, funny, and incredibly passionate about his country. He made us feel safe, inspired, and completely immersed in the experience. We learned so much thanks to him.
The accommodations were also lovely — comfortable, charming, and always surrounded by breathtaking views. Falling asleep to the sounds of nature is something we’ll never forget.
We had a spectacular time and came back home with full hearts and unforgettable memories. Kenya is truly a destination that stays with you forever.

Unforgettable Safari Adventure — Thanks to Spirit of Kenya and Our Amazing Guide Thomas!
We went on a 7-day private safari in Kenya this February and chose Spirit of Kenya after contacting several tour companies. Their excellent reviews, reasonable pricing, and outstanding communication made them stand out—and we’re so glad we chose them.
From the very first inquiry, we were assisted by Filipa M, our Personal Journey Designer. She was incredibly kind, polite, and professional. Filipa responded promptly to every message and carefully crafted our itinerary. Even when we requested a last-minute change to the schedule, she handled it smoothly and efficiently. It was our first time in Africa and Kenya, and although we were a bit nervous, Filipa's support gave us complete peace of mind.
In Kenya, we were guided by Thomas, a veteran with over 20 years of experience. He took care of us throughout the trip with safe driving, impressive wildlife knowledge, and great communication with other guides to ensure we saw as many animals as possible. He not only helped us spot a wide variety of animals, but also shared fascinating insights into their behavior, Kenyan culture, traditions, and religions. Thanks to him, we had an incredibly enriching and enjoyable 7 days.
Above all, Thomas is a genuinely kind, warm-hearted, and wonderful person. His personality made the entire trip even more special, and we truly believe we wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much without him. A friend of ours said they didn’t get to see many animals on their safari—so it’s clear how important the guide is. Thomas humbly said we were lucky, but we know it was all thanks to him.
We highly recommend Spirit of Kenya, and if you book with them, we strongly suggest requesting Thomas as your guide. He made our trip truly unforgettable.
