very good experience, friendly, informal, reliable
Pros
- good communication, all e-mails were answered in a few hours
- flexibility, they organized an unscheduled day in Nairobi for us including visit of former US Embassy destroyed by terrorist blast in 1998, one of the highlights of our trip besides national parks
- we probably got to see as much as we could in such a short time thanks to the great itinerary
- reasonable price for this category of safari trip
- excelent driver and guide David, always in a good mood, helpful, never tired of answering our questions or satisfying our endless need for the best picture spot, wonderful character we will never forget
Cons
- even though they say on the website that they do accept credit cards they do not, after we refused requested cash payment, we finaly agreed on Wise money transfer, cashless procedure which worked out fine but wouldn´t have to be so complicated, only dissapointment in otherwise perfect service and only reason for not giving five stars

Extremely Accommodating and flexible with good team of excellent employees
Extremely Accommodating and flexible with good team of excellent employees.
David - our tour guide who was our driver for the whole trip was very very helpful, knowledgeable and made sure every single opportunity to see if and any and all wildlife. He made our whole Kenya experience the very best. We all loved Kenya and the safari.
Our overall experience with Silver Spark Safari was extremely good. The reason for giving 4 stars is -
out of our whole trip of 10 days - 3 accomodations were extremely good (Samburu- Nakuru and Kibo(Amboselli). These made our experience unforgettable.
but 4 accomodations were really bad (the 1st night hotel in Nairobi, Milili Hotel- Maverick Camp in Aberdare- Lake Naivasha and the last camp at Amboselli).
We had to pay extra out of pocket to get another accomodations from Aberdare and move to Lake Nakuru.
Would highly recommend even if the ratings say good but please please check them more in depth).
If we keep the accomodations aside, Silver Sparks on the whole, Abongo our main point of contact from beginning to the end and on top of everything David made our Kenya safari the best.
Highly highly highly recommend this company.
Thank you Silver Sparks for everything for making us our family unforgettable memories of the lifetime.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best tour guides in the industry!
Our tour guides David and Maluta on our 9 day safari through Kenya (Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Amboseli) and Tanzania (Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater) were incredible! They provided an amazing service and knew a lot about the best spots to find the animals during our trip. They were extremely professional and made sure we were well looked after throughout our trip.
The tour operator (Abongo) was ok. A few logistical issues throughout the trip which were not handled very well, and could have been dealt with more professionally, but overall we were happy with the service and the trip we had.

Attentive, great communication, and excellent value.
Silver Spark did a great job of managing the details of our safari. Abongo responded quickly to all my emails and ensured that we had an amazing experience. Our guides, game drives, and lodging came together for a wonderful safari at an excellent value. I certainly recommend them.

11-Day Serengeti, Maasai Mara, Tarangire, Amboseli Park
This is our first time in Kenya and Africa. The inquiry and booking process was easy. Abongo, the founder of the company, was very responsive both on email and WhatsApp.
We arrived to Nairobi City one day earlier and were given the full day excursion to Giraffe Center, August 7th Memorial Park (US embassy), Kenya National Archive Center and Nairobi Gallery. Our guide was Kevin (the company's marketer) together with his driver. The excursion helped us to settle into the "polepole" mode. Tip: arrive to Nairobi at least 1 day early
Next morning we were picked up from our hotel and, after pre-departure meeting, started safari.
The safari has been the best experience thanks to our guides David from Silver Spark Africa Safaris in Kenya and Waziri from Nyangulo Africa Safaris in Tanzania,
After the end of our trip Abongo, David and Kevin took us out to dinner to the famous Nairobi restaurant The Carnivore and after that escorted us to our hotel for a group photo and final "lala salama".
Every minute of the trip we felt protected and in safe hands of our guides and the company.

The most amazing safari experience in Kenya and Tanzania!
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.

Organized, thoughtful, and very responsive
Everything with Silver Spark was perfect! From the inquiry to the drop off at the end was perfect! The booking process was easy and Silver Spark was very responsive to any questions. One of the accommodations was fully booked and Silver Spark had a new accommodation within a few days. Our guide, John, was amazing!!!!!!! Some roads in the Mara were blocked off but John didn’t give up and go us to the Mara River to see the great migration. John took care of my friend and I until the airport drop off at the end.This was my second safari and highly recommend Silver Spark!

They went far and beyond
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.
