Amazing holiday!
I just wanted to say a HUGE Thank You for organising the most amazing holiday for us in Kenya and Zanzibar. Our trip planner, Filipa, was just incredible, so efficient and attentive, the email communication was really good, all my queries answered super-quickly. When we got there, everything was just perfect, from our amazing driver Konana who was just brilliant with the game drives in the Masai Mara, he was so knowledgeable and just so easy to get on with, he went above and beyond for us to see all the animals and have the best experience.

Extraordinary guide!
The beginning of our two plus week African adventure started in Kenya. We were picked up by Daniel, our guide for a 3 night, four full days tour of Masai Mara at our Nairobi hotel having arrived late the prior evening. The education/adventure started immediately as we traveled to Olengoti Eco Safari Camp in the Masai Mara. Our's was a private safari so we essentially spent all our daylight hours as well as predawn and post sunset with our guide - Daniel. He was informative, entertaining and continuously sensitive to our wants and needs throughout our time together. A proud Kenyan and terrific host and ambassador for his country. A great sense of where the game was and he seemed to be respected, if not reveared, by his fellow guides. We saw all but Rhinos (in protected areas after inordinate poaching during Covid). When things got crowded at big cat viewings, he was able to insert us respectfully but strategically for great viewing and had an uncanny sense of where the game was moving so often we arrived to the next location before anyone else. He arranged several side trips for us, all of which were well worth while. Can't recommend him highly enough!

Absolutely amazing experience - beyond our expectations!
We had an unforgettable 6-day safari with Spirit of Kenya, covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli National Park. The entire tour was exceptionally well organized — from the seamless logistics to the thoughtfully chosen accommodations, everything ran smoothly and exceeded our expectations. Each park offered something unique, and the itinerary gave us a perfect balance of game drives, relaxation, and scenic views.
A special thank you to our guide, Steve. He was truly outstanding — calm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. His ability to spot animals from great distances amazed us, and he always had a fascinating story or insight to share. Thanks to Steve, we not only saw the Big Five but also gained a much deeper appreciation for the wildlife and the cultures of Kenya. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
Highly recommended experience!

Patient and meticulous, professional to provide customers with a perfect safari experience.
Although we did not see the Great Migration, but our adventure was nothing short of magical. We marveled at the abundant wildlife and exotic birds in their natural habitats, witnessed breathtaking natural landscapes and enjoyed comfortable stays at diverse lodges—each with its own unique charm and stunning surroundings. Thanks our Personal Journey Designer for the excellent arrangement, which made our trip worth it.

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!

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
