Unforgettable Kenya & Tanzania safari with reliable tour operator
5/5

I had an amazing experience with Silver Spark Africa Safaris on a two-week Kenya & Tanzania safari, the entire trip was extremely seamless and without any major issues - Abongo made all of the park and hotel arrangements and my tour guides David and Waziri were extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife and made my entire trip quite enjoyable.

My two week tour hit the major destinations of Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Serengeti while also hitting some of the other surprisingly amazing smaller destinations like Ngorongoro and Lake Nakuru. Trip ended with a three night stay in Zanzibar to unwind after a busy yet fruitful safari. I didn’t know where to begin when I started out so I’m glad I had Abongo to plan and arrange everything for me - do not expect five stars from your hotels but they were all in the least secure, sufficiently comfortable and with a good selection and quality of food.

If you don’t have two weeks I think you could still get a complete safari experience by focusing in on any of the big three destinations mentioned, but my personal recommendation would be to go with either Maasai Mara or Serengeti for the richest experience.

Great experience.
5/5

We had amazing trip in Maasai Mara. Our entire trip was organized by Silver Spark Company. I love the company rates and the professionalism within their staff. Abongo is such an understanding guy , he saved us from much expense but provided one of the best trip ever. We appreciate the service you offer us during the trip. We can say that your services were above our imagination. Kepha was good planner and could offer us a package that was friendly and enjoyable. The van was in good condition and the driver was having good driving skill and was knowledgeable of the park. We will love to do another safari with you. Thank you for the amazing trip with my entire family.

Amazing experience and great tour operator
5/5

We had a 15 night trip in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar. Despite quite late organisation our part Abongo was great at getting everything sorted for us, keeping us up to date and answering all of our questions! We were a bit worried about transferring money through wise to pay our deposit but this worked out fine.

The whole trip was incredible, we saw more animals than we ever hoped and our guides David and Maurice we brilliant in their knowledge of the animals, and also took time to teach us about the culture and language. They were also hugely appreciated when we got unwell on the trip, checking in on how we were feeling and getting us to pharmacies to help get us better!
We were also really impressed thar Abongo and Soombe came to meet us at our border crossing and Soombe came again to Arusha to make sure our travels went smoothly. This is not something we expected but definitely really appreciated.

We would 100% recommend this trip with Silvee spark and would love to do more trips with them in the future.

The most amazing safari experience in Kenya and Tanzania!
5/5

I travelled with my husband and our moms to Kenya and Tanzania a did an 11-day safari organized by Silver Spark Africa Safaris. We had the most amazing experience! Everything, since the initial coordination with Abongo, to the wonderful drivers/guides David and Minister, and the beautiful places that we stayed in, was perfect. I would 100% recommend travelling with Silver Spark Africa Safaris and we will go back with them, since we now want to visit the gorillas in Uganda.

This has been some of the best experiences of my life! And this has been due to the wonderful assistance of Abongo and his incredible staff. I have traveled around the world and I have never felt so pampered and protected.

This team is amazing! From Abongo, to David and Minister, actually everyone! They make us feel as home everyday. They were carrying and loving always watching for us and worried about our confort. There recomendations were the best ones! We were able to see the big five not only once, a few times!!! The guidance, time and acomodations were great! But the best part is that they were for us at anytime! My mother in law lost her passport and Abongo helped us with all the coordinations, we felt very safe and actually we know that now we have friends in Kenya and Tanzania! Looking forward to come back!!

A fantastic adventure
5/5

12-day private safari with an extended stay in Zanzibar. Very good organization of the whole. The basis of such a trip is a good driver/guide. We probably got the best of the best. Kenyan - Peter, Family Man and Tanzanian - Wazeri, Mr. Minister. Both fit in the image of the 5-star Hakuna Matata Brothers and have extensive knowledge of African fauna and flora, excellent orientation in parks and reserves, and extraordinary skills to safely transport you even to places that are not on the map. Accommodation is a separate story. All charming, each in a different way. Starting from a city hotel, through a colonial estate, bungalows, tents, to a charming corner of paradise. Courteous and caring service everywhere. Zachary at Jacaranda Lake Elementaita Lodge is also especially memorable. A few-hour walk with him, stories about the history of the area, animals (especially birds) was an additional attraction.

5/5

My driver David was excellent. We spent 11 days together touring 5 different places together. (Samburu-Massai Mara-Amboseli-Nakuru-Navisha). The vehicle was great. David was able to accommodate my requests as a photographer. The lodging booked was great and the food served was delicious. Definitely would come back for another trip.
