A fantastic safari experience, memories that will stay with us for ever
My brother and I did a 4 night, 5 day safari. From the initial request for a quote to meeting point and then the safari itself , the experience was amazing. Our guide Charles was friendly, courteous and extremely knowledgeable about the areas we visited and the animals we saw. We stayed in 3 different locations, each of them was brilliant - friendly welcoming staff, great food and facilities. The tour had a great balance of sight seeing and relax time. I would not hesitate to recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone - thank you Tiago and Charles, you gave us a trip to remember!

Perfect!
The communication with Sprit of Kenya was more than perfect. I was surprised by the prompt reply from Tiago. He was providing all the necessary information and answering to all the concerns. I must admit that the way things worked with Tiago influenced a lot our decision to go with Sprit of Kenya. He demonstrated a high level of professionalism. The tour was perfect and we had a nice time in Kenya, everything was as planned. Our driver/guide, Gidion was friendly, he knew a lot about animals and he was sharing the information every time he had the occasion. He knew where to go to see the Big 5. We enjoyed a lot our experience. We are planning in returning in Kenya in the next future and definitely we are going to contact again Sprit of Kenya. I recommend this agency.

An amazing trip!
We arranged a long layover in another tour package and wanted to see as much of Kenya as we could. Happy we selected Spirit of Kenya to fill in our dates. Tiago provided lots of options and price ranges. We were thrilled with our experience. Highlights were Ol
Tukai in Ambroseli and the Amani Mara Camp. The staff in both places were exceptional! We also had George as our driver. He was an excellent, safe driver. A fact you’ll appreciate when you see the crazy roads with big heavy trucks wending their way along. Aside from his safe driving, George was an excellent guide and game spotter. He got us to lions on a kill before any other cars arrived. Keen eyes and lots of knowledge! He also was able to accommodate all our requests - not easy in our group of four women and one man. Okay the man never requested anything special! :)
Anyway thanks spirit of Kenya. I know we asked for many changes as we went along but you were always cheerful and responded quickly. And everything was spot on as you said it would be. We’ll be back!

Amazing Tanzania Safari with Daniel
The safari was amazing, it was a completely different holiday we never did before. The pick up on the airport took a bit but the driver was very friendly and the hotel was fine. The next day it was quick to the border and once meeting our guide Daniel and the jeep at the border, it became amazing. Daniel was an amazing guide, so friendly, so knowledgeable and he asked us the right questions. We were not interested to get off path or need to see something specific. We had an amazing time just driving around and seeing so many animals.
The route was great, first in Tarangire and then Serengeti. We loved Tarangire, so simple to see so many different animals and great places to stay. In Serengeti we really enjoyed the longer drives, see some more animals and the tented camps were amazing. The only camp which was a bit disappointing was Angata Camp in Ngorongoro.
Overall, the food was amazing, the travel amazing and the guide Daniel. The jeep was really big, so much space but in great condition. Which was necessary in the long drives to the Serengeti North and back. Although the drives were a couple of hours, it was totally worth it as the migration was an amazing spectacle to see.

Amboselli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara, Communications was great from the planning (4months before) , Tiago was great answering all kinds of questions, and helping out with the planning. service was great always, our driver/guide Sammy had incredible knowledge of the animal life, and also great driving skills. O would definitely choose this company again.

Safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania
I am currently working in Ethiopia and decided to do a tour covering Kenya and Tanzania in about 2 weeks. I booked with Soul of Tanzania which organized the Tanzanian leg of the tour and outsourced the Kenyan part to Spirit of kenya. All the logistics were great and no obstacles appeared.In Tanzania we had land cruisers while in Kenya we had Toyota minivans. Comfort is very similar but the landcruisers are worth the extra bucks. Both vehicles were reliable and very clean.
Both guides were amazing but my favourite was Spirit of Kenya guide. His name was Robert. It was amazing how he could spot animals camafulaged far away while concentrating on his driving. The Tanzanian guide was James and he was very professional and corteous.
Overall amazing experience and would definitely recommend!

Exceeded our expectations
The entire staff of Spirit of Kenya contributed to making our 10 day safari a great trip. From recommendations on accomodations to solving international wire issues down to providing beanbags for telephoto lenses - the staff responded quickly.
But the most important part of the safari in my opinion is your guide. He is the one that will make or break your trip.
John was just an awesome guide. His knowledge of the animals and his uncanny ability to predict their movements even before they knew themselves was amazing.
John made sure we not only saw just about every animal there was to see, but were close enough to get some fantastic pictures making this amateur photographer feel like a professional.
His sense of humor and infectious laugh made the long bumpy drives fly by.
It is a trip we will never forget.
We would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya.

Holiday of a lifetime thanks to Spirit of Kenya and their fantastic guide
From the beginning when we started to plan our safari holiday, Spirit of Kenya shone out as the company who communicated promptly and efficiently and they were always there with a friendly reply to our queries. It was the best decision to choose this company and we had the holiday of a lifetime, helped massively by the wonderful guide, Raphael. Everything Spirit of Kenya promised was delivered. Our guide arrived on time to pick us up at the start of the safari and from that moment on we felt safe and confident we were in the hands of an experienced and knowledgeable guide. Without such a guide we would have missed out on so many things to see - he was truly amazing. We would urge anyone out there wishing to book a safari in Kenya to choose Spirit of Kenya.

A dream tour!
Spirit of Kenya , the tour operator cannot be recommended enough. The desk staff were very prompt in their replies. I had some trepidation because of the change in their name in the middle of the tour transaction. But, from our pickup at the airport to our drop ,7 days later , it was the most perfect tour I have been on. Mr. Charles Njeri, our guide was very well informed , cheerful and always ready with an answer about birds, animals and the people of Kenya. He had a keen eye for the elusive beasts , a leopard sleeping high in the branches of some tree in the distance, despite its camouflage, he managed to show us all we had only hoped for. Thanks to him I know that the antelopes , giraffes & zebras come in many types, saw the Big Five! His dedication that we should experience all that Masai Mara offered was very touching. I really enjoyed every part of the tour, the recommended accommodation in our 5 days 4 night's tour were all not only comfortable but ethnically appealing and we were so close to nature and the animals , it felt like being among them but I could continue to have my hot showers! The beauty of Masai Mara was awesome and my photographs of this dream tour along with one of the sunset at Mara will help me relive it many more times. Thank you team of Spirit of Kenya for a memorable tour. God bless you.

It was the best choice of the whole trip!
There are no words of thanks for the commitment and dedication of all the staff of this company in providing such a rewarding experience.
There are no words to thank for patience from the first day, to answer the thousand and one questions and last minute changes!
And especially do not forget to mention that the difference between a good experience and an unforgettable experience are undoubtedly the people: the staff that accompanied us on the trip!
The guide was of a professionalism and commitment that no money in the world pays for! Your ability to read the group and the right moments to intervene made Safari the experience of a lifetime! The ability to rejoice when we were more tired, the ability to realize when we were very excited and needing a break, the ability to realize when it was our group time and not intervene ... the commitment to make every day an experience Unforgettable, The dedication with which in the game drivers sought the animals so that we did not leave frustrated ... the focus and responsibility with which he drove the car and the whole safari ... He made the difference and at the end of the day, when We were in the parks it was evident our happiness in relation to other groups!
I seriously would recommend this company for the seriousness, responsibility and commitment with which we treated our safari!
