Great tour company, delivers all that they claim to, swift communication and great customer service!
From the minute our guide Sammy picked us up from Nairobi, we were flooded with a wealth of information about the flora & fauna, topography, general population and culture of Kenya. It was amazing to know! He was an absolutely terrific guide and we'd recommend him to anyone headed to Kenya! We fell in love with Maasai Mara, and spotted the Big 4 all within the first few hours of being there. Incredible! Our Maasai Mara accomodation Elewana Sand River lodge, arranged by the company, was surreal to say the least, with great food, attention to detail and overall 10/10 vibe & location. We couldn't have been happier here.
Moving on to Serengeti, our guide Hassaan was very warm, super friendly and very knowledgeable! Serengeti was a dream come true with its vast savannah plains and zebra+wildebeest herds. Again, our luxurious stay at the Elewana Explorer, arranged by the company, left us speechless. Fantastic service, great accommodation, stunning views, and delicious food. We could not have asked for more!
Ngorongoro Crater, our third & final stop, was where we spotted our 5th animal through Hassan's experienced spotting, the Rhinoceros, not once, but thrice! We were thrilled!
We thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip, especially having everything so perfectly planned out for us, allowing us to simply enjoy this adventure. We will be recommending Spirit of Kenya to all our family & friends.

Amazing from start to finish!
We had an amazing 7 day safari organised and run by Spirit of Kenya to Masi Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli National Park.
Filipa helped us arrange our custom safari to our exact needs, she was incredibly patience and helpful in arranging our itinerary and helped with some great lodge selections which were all different but excellent. These were
PrideInn Mara (Savannah tent)
Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge
Great Rift Valley Lodge & Golf Resort
Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge
We were picked up from the airport and all food and accommodation for the 6 nights was inclusive. The Toyota Landcruiser was super spacious and comfortable with enough space for all six of us and our luggage.
Sogo was the best guide and driver who took great care of us, was super accommodating & ensured each game drive was action-packed with new things to see! We did early morning drives, full days and evening drives. We also did a great boat trip as well!
An amazing safari overall with a great company, it was so easy to book direct and we save a significant over booking in the UK.

Trip of a lifetime
I just wanted to share our experience from our recent trip.
From the moment we landed everything was so smooth and effortless. All your recommendations were perfect for our first Safari. Yes there were some accommodations better than others and some stays need a little work on menu options but overall we were very satisfied.
Where I would like to really like to commend your company is the guides. In Kenya we had Nester. He went above and beyond with his knowledge, ability to find the Big 5 day one, and general personality. He is a true gem to your organization and wanted to let you know how much we appreciated Nester’s professionalism and expert skills. He made our trip 5
Star all the way!!
Our guide in Tanzania was Haibdo and we were very pleased with his professionalism as well. He showed us great wildlife and a little of life in his home town which was very insightful as to the daily life in Tanzania. He too was an excellent guide.
Our last and 3rd guide Shuma, we had for a shorter time and was a wealth of information on the animals, and struggles with drought. It was nice to end our 11 days with so much detailed information.
Thank you again for your planning, answering constant emails and fine tuning our prefect trip.

Excellent: A fantastic experience without any problems
Excellent experience. We built with the help of Vanessa the safari of our dreams between Kenya and Tanzania. The trip was perfect. We returned home happy and with a smile for the beautiful experience lived. We recommend this agency to everyone.

Seven Days with Spirit of Kenya
My wife and I did our second safari and decided to use Spirit of Kenya this time. We had an incredible time! Vanessa made the planning of our safari extremely easy and was very responsive to any questions we had. We did a seven day tour going to four different parks, Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Aberdare National Park, and Samburu. I recommend anyone going to spend a few days in Maasai Mara, as that was by far our favorite.
Simon was our driver over the seven days, and he was very professional and knowledgeable about all the animals and birds. He was able to get us to see all the big five, including a leopard! We had the best time driving with him all day and listening to his stories and knowledge.
We would like to eventually come back and bring our families to experience this amazing tour. We highly recommend Spirit of Kenya.

An amazing safari tour
Asante sana for our tour !
We’d experienced a wonderful 5-day safari tour.
At Hell’s Gate we’d seen a volcanic region with rocked mountains and their towers. There we’d a walk tour , visiting the scenario that inspired The Lion King Disney movie.
Visiting Lake Navaisha and Lake Nakuru, we’d seen several birds with their sounds, wild animals and a wonderful view including a boat ride.
An exceptional safari tour at Maasai Mara! We’d seen the big five, gazels, giraffes, hippos, babuins, zebras, gnus, pumbas, birds and experienced a picnic along the Mara river.
Our lodges were carefully selectioned by Spirits of Kenya, with delicious foods and drinks, comfortable rooms, with beautiful and relaxed views!
Mike is an excellent guide, a safe driver, adorable, patient, clever, with a deep knowledge of the region and the behaviour of the animals!
We loved our stay at Nairobi with Spirits pf Kenya!

Fantastic safari in Kenya with this company
I went on a 12-day customized safari in Kenya and Tanzania, and my safari was co-organized by The Spirit of Kenya.
The tour was organized very well, the plan was clear, and I even received a small water bottle as a nice welcome gift from them.
My guides were Thomas and Michael, and I think they did an amazing job. Both of them were very well prepared, very knowledgeable about the animals and Africa in general, and were able to fulfill all my requests and wishes.
I can certainly recommend this company as well as Thomas and Michael to everyone!

Amazing trip to Kenya and Tanzania
Our experience with Spirit of Kenya was truly amazing. Not only we saw all of the Big Five and had stunning animal encounters but also the accommodations, guides and the whole organization was fantastic. Everything worked so well, from being picked up at the airport until the last day when we had still some time in Nairobi and were able to go to some museums. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming and our guides (George, Enoc and Samuel) had a huge knowledge. It is hard to say what we liked best. It was not only the wildlife but also the driving from one national parc to the other as we were able to see how people live in the villages and towns. Also our camps were fantastic - listening to hyenas, lions and other animals from our beds was memorable - and as there were only few other guests (thanks to coming before the high season) we got to talk to the staff and learned a lot about Kenya and Tanzania and the way they live.
A big thank you also especially to Vanessa, out tour organizer, not only for organizing the trip so well but also her respond time always was very impressive!

Great safari, great company, great staff!!!
Had the pleasure of booking with Spirit of Kenya in October, 2024. I cannot recommend them more highly. From Misk in the office to Samuel our personal guide everything was perfect. Misk answered any and all questions before, during and after our safari. He was a pleasure to deal with and always replied quickly. Our guide, Samuel, was truly amazing!! His knowledge base was incredible, and his patience unending, as we asked many questions from flora/fauna to culture, religion and politics. We had so much fun with him. One could tell he truly enjoys his job, as he seemed as excited as we were with all the sightings. This was my 4th safari (hopefully not my last), and first private one - and this ranks at the top. No one could go wrong booking with Spirit of Kenya!
