This is an amazing company who go the extra mile
We had the most amazing experience with Spirit of Kenya. Their attention to detail is incredible and Laura was able to answer all our questions in preparation. They were so flexible and designed a unique tour based around the city where we were based for a few days. We were so fortunate to have an incredible guide, Erastus and spending 5 days with him in both Ol Pejata and Samburu was an amazing time. His knowledge and capacity to be in the right place at the right time meant we saw so many animals in so many different contexts.
The food and accommodation options were incredible and being right in the heart of the reserves meant we could enjoy dinner and a glass of wine, whilst watching elephants and other herds coming down to the river.
This was a once in a life time opportunity and I would thoroughly recommend Kenya and Spirit of Kenya to oversee every detail!

Good value for money and helpful staff
We had a great time with Jungle Room Safaris. We did three days of Masai Mara safari. Everything was on time. We had pleasant experiences, and we also had some special requests, which was fulfilled. So overall, it was good. Also the tour guide was good.

An unforgettable safari with Meru Slopes and our amazing guide Ombeni
We had a wonderful safari with Meru Slopes! 🐾 From the itinerary planning to the accommodation arrangements, everything was thoughtfully organised. The team was professional, responsive, and always happy to help. The pricing was reasonable, and the entire trip ran smoothly from start to finish.
🌟 A special thank you to our guide, Ombeni, who truly made this trip unforgettable. With over 10 years of guiding experience, he was incredibly knowledgeable and had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife. He could spot even tiny animals far in the distance that we would never have noticed ourselves! Whenever we casually mentioned an animal we hoped to see, he remembered and kept an eye out for it.
📸 Ombeni also knew exactly where to position the vehicle, giving us fantastic views and wonderful photo opportunities. One of the biggest highlights was witnessing the wildebeest river crossing just five minutes after arriving that morning. We felt incredibly lucky! 🦓
🌿 His knowledge of the animals, their behaviour, and the local plants was impressive. Whatever we asked, he always had an insightful answer. Each day’s route was thoughtfully planned, and his kind, friendly personality made spending time with him a real pleasure.
We came home with amazing photos and even better memories. Highly recommend Meru Slopes, and especially Ombeni, to anyone planning a safari! ❤️

An unforgettable Maasai Mara safari with an exceptional guide, Rio!
We had a fantastic experience exploring the Maasai Mara with Shanjoy Tours and Safaris. Our guide, Rio, was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, always happy to answer our questions and share interesting insights. We saw an amazing variety of animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes and even a leopard, which was a real highlight!
The safari was well organised from start to finish, and Rio was friendly, professional and great company throughout. His wildlife knowledge and multilingual abilities were particularly impressive. Would highly recommend Shanjoy Tours and Safaris!

Amazing experience with amazing people
As the first time in Kenya , I think I was so blessed to find such great people to spend time with and enjoying stunning places and wilfldlife of this beautiful country.
First of all I want to thanks Tracy for giving us the best options for the trip.
About the Safari, I had the best guides I could find. As an amateur wildlife photographer and nature lover, I was really excited to learn a lot from Lawrence about wildlife of Kenya , and his fun spirit and kindness added a lot of spice to my trip. His passion for his job is true and amazing , we spent hours talking about birds , and thanks to his keen eyes I could take amazing pictures of the big 5 !! Plus many other beautiful creatures.
Another big thanks goes to Micheal. Was really a pleasure spending time with you and your kindness , funny jokes and your great swahili / kikujo lessons . I never felt bored during the trip , thanks to you.
With Lawrence , you make the perfect wildlife brother, joking all the time, and helping me enjoying the travel and spotting wildlife.
I would love to come back soon thanks to the great impression and memories you helped to make.
Asante sana !!!

This company is quite good and reasonably priced; I’d recommend it. However, the final price depends on the hotel you choose—it will be higher for exp
Your guide, Kush, will meet you in the Maasai Mara. He is very experienced and quick to spot lions. Although he is a man of few words, he is happy to share information if you initiate the conversation—such as asking about the lions or other wildlife. He spends much of his time on the phone coordinating with other guides to track animal locations, and he is genuinely dedicated to finding the "Big Five" and "Ugly Five" for you.

Organized, kind, ready to listen to all the needs.
We had a fantastic experience with Akondo. There were four of us, and everything was excellent. Our driver, David, went above and beyond to meet all our expectations. He is extremely knowledgeable and has been doing this job for more than 20 years.
It was truly an amazing adventure, especially thanks to David, who took us to all the right places and helped us spot almost every animal. He has an in-depth understanding of animal behavior, which even allowed us to witness a predator-prey chase.
The price-quality standard is balanced.
Highly recommended!

excellent and professional
Driver Edward is very professional, funny, helpful and kind, will introduce to my friend if they wanna come.
However, one thing we have to mention, the back office coordinator we contact through WhatsApp is not so polite. We order a twin room from the very beginning, and find out not that service, they blame us we hadn't told them. At the end, we found out the quotation stated we requested twin room! Ok, finally they said sorry to us, but why don't they recheck the record before blame us?
