My first safari tour was very exciting!
I took a safari tour to Kenya over the New Year's holiday. I was amazed to see so many animals! I especially recommend Amboseli National Park!
I'm not good at English, but the planner and guide were very kind and helpful! I'll definitely use their services again when booking another safari tour!

In good hands for a safari in Kenya
We contacted Spirit of Kenya to inquire about a safari in Kenya.
We immediately noticed the courtesy, clarity, and speed of communication, as well as the transparency and accuracy of the quotes.
We decided to go with them, and the experience was simply fantastic.
Everything went at the best: transfer, accommodation, vehicle, communication, food, … everything !
All people we have met were friendly, attentive while being always very professional.
The safari was simply amazing.
A special thanks to Ken our driver and guide: he was like a friend for us, totally committed to making us live an unforgettable experience.
I would have no doubts to recommend Spirit of Kenya for a journey and a safari in Kenya : you will be in good hands.

Wonderful
The pre-trip communication went very smoothly and clearly. The tour guide drove very steadily, was good at finding animals, and clearly loved Kenyan animals and nature. The trip was very enjoyable!

Excellent experience. Fantastic driver and all around a great trip and tour provider.
We did a 7 day Spirit of Kenya Private Safari.
Filipa helped us with all our questions throughout the booking process and gave us lots of options and information which meant we got to fully build a custom itinerary.
We mix and matched basic and luxury accommodation to fit within our Budget and we worked with Filipa on extra customisation like dates, airport transfers and vehicle type.
Filipa could not have been more helpful throughout this process!
When we arrived in Nairobi we had a private transfer to the hotel and the next day we met our Driver Samuel. Samuel was fantastic. He was funny and kind and full of knowledge having been a driver for more than 30 years. He got us some of the bet view points through out the trip, customized our timings day to day so we got the best experience possible.
We can not recommend Spirit of Kenya Highly Enough!

More than 5 stars
We had an absolute joy of an experience with Spirit of Kenya. Our planning process was flawless and organized with Gerardo. He answered every single question (there were a lot) and created the perfect itinerary. Our flight had to be moved due to weather changes and they were able to accommodate us at last minute and we still got to do everything we wanted. When we got to Kenya, our airport transfer was waiting for us and drove us to our hotel booked through Spirit of Kenya. The hotel selection was nice, clean and everything we expected. We did the city tour in Nairobi and again - it was organized very well and super fun! We learned so much and saw so many animals.
Our three day safari in Maasai Mara was unforgettable. Our guide (Raphael) and his student (Steve) were AMAZING. They made every moment great and magical. Everything was super organized and punctual. They explained everything to us throughout the trip. The long drive there and back went by in a flash because of all the things they were sharing/pointing out. We learned about plants, history, culture, landscape, animals - the list doesn't end.
Our camp which was beautiful with 10/10 hospitality and food. The game drives were insane - our guides showed us SO MANY ANIMALS. We saw a leopard (very rare!), tons of lions including cubs, elephants, wildebeest, cheetahs, hippos, zebras, giraffes and more! We got so close and were able to take amazing photos. They were always looking out for us and ways to give us the best experience that we could have. We are so grateful for everything that they did.
As an anxious person - I felt very safe and well taken care of throughout the entire trip. If you are nervous about booking or spending money, I would say that it's 10000% worth it and to DO IT.
This review doesn't capture how magical and unreal this trip was for us and we couldn't have had that without Raphael, Steve and Spirit of Kenya!

The best Safari ever ❤️
Safari with Spirit of Kenya was the adventure of a lifetime and the fulfillment of our dreams. Africa has something truly extraordinary about it and will remain in our hearts forever—we will definitely return one day. We are very grateful for the meticulous planning of our trip, which was exciting, colorful, and full of unforgettable experiences.
Special thanks go to our guide, as the success of this journey was largely thanks to him. He showed us far more than we expected—we saw the Big Five and many other animals, always had the best views, were close to the wildlife, and were able to take beautiful photos. Our guide is a wonderful person who truly cared about making our trip unforgettable

Excellent experience. Great planning
We started our planning to visit Kenya in November and had contacted few tour operators . Spirit of Kenya helped us with the best itinerary and value for money for the trip we chose . Right from the booking experience Thanks to Laura she had planned every detail of our trip and made sure the trip was hassle free. We were also given a great tour guide Thomas by Spirit of Kenya who had in-depth knowledge of the wildlife and life style of Kenyan people . He was great at spotting wildlife , we were often surprised how he was able to spot a camoflaged animal .
We stayed in Kenya for 6 days visiting Naivasha , Nakuru and Masai Mara truly awesome experience .
Thanking you Spirit of Kenya for a great holiday

A professional and welcoming organization that I highly recommend trusting your vacation with
Every aspect of our engagement with Spirit of Kenya was a positive experience. Communications were clear and questions promptly answered. This a well organized company that we felt confident in committing our vacation to. The professionalism was not at the expense of a welcoming and friendly staff. Our guide was a pleasure to be with. He worked hard to make sure that we had an excellent experience. He was friendly, fun and informative. We stayed with the suggested itinerary and it was a good choice that whetted my appetite for further exploration of Kenya with this company. I am also hopeful to visit Tanzania and would definitely book through the sister company Soul of Tanzania which was highly recommended by people we met on our travels.
