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.

Professional, efficient, knowledgeable and flexible - a great experience overall
Communication was good throughout and the 7 day tour to Samburu, Nakuru, Masai Mara and Naivasha meant we saw a lot in a short time. There was a lot of driving but our guide Peter was excellent - we felt safe in his care and he made sure we saw all the animals and sights along the way. The sightings (including all the big 5 and more) on the game drives were spectacular. The accommodation was mostly very good and value for money. There was just one place near the Masai Mara where the facilities and food could have been better but it did not detract from what was an excellent trip. Thank you Abongo and Peter. We will recommend you to family and friends.

Best experience with reasoning rate!
Our eleven-day experience to East Africa, Tanzania and Kenya ending up in Zanzibar with Silver Spark Africa Safaris was a dream come true. We enjoyed every bit of the safaris. Abongo ensured everything was running smoothly no delays, my assigned guide Peter, was very friendly and welcoming he also maintained the time. The morning drives were so amazing, beautiful animal sceneries in both Kenya and Tanzania. It formed the best game drive ever, in the morning in both Amboseli and Masai Mara, thanks to Peter. Abongo was always available via call or mail, he made everything easy for us by answering all our questions instantly during our trip and before our trip. I would like to recommend Silver Spark Africa and use their team and services again without hesitation going back to Kenya.

Amazing experience and great tour operator
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.

Well communication and good experience!
Amazing people and parks with a wide variety of big five animals. I was lucky to see Cheetah on the first afternoon drive and lots of many other animals. Our driver, David, became a family on the first day from airport pick up, we had stops on the route to take coffee and pictures with a lot of chat on the history of the great Rift Valley escarpment. When we arrived at Elemtaita lodge we welcomed nicely. We did a 7-day tour which allowed me to view only three park Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Elementaita. Also, my first experience in Kenya so I would think it was sufficient but I need a second trip with Silver Spark Africa. Will definitely returns for longer periods. I do recommended if you are looking for starter park in Kenya, do start with Maasai Mara. This was one of the unforgettable safari of 2023 experience.

Best experience ever thanks to great professionals
The team is always supporting you. Speaking perfect English, our first contact Abongo was perfectly adapting the tour to our needs and interests. Easy payment and clear invoices (not always common). Our driver (David) was an amazing professional. Spotting all animals, driving safe, being always on time and never losing his smile.
I would really recommend Silver Spark Safari for my tours. We explored Masai Mara (a must), Lake Nakura (impressive safari around the lake, where you can see Rinhos) and Amboseli Park (with views to Kilimanjaro).
Do mot hesitate to trust this experience to them, you will not regret it!

Unforgettable memories in our lifetime
First time travelling to Africa, Silver Spark Africa Safaris gave us confidence for the whole journey. On the first day we met, we were given a warm welcome. Everything was well organised and arranged, our adventure went very smooth.
We had booked a 11-day Kenya & Tanzania safari trip. We really appreciated Abongo, who always keep us updated for all the arrangement and our tour guide, David in Kenya & Waziri in Tanzania. They are very professional and knowledgeable about the wildlife in Africa. We were lucky to see the big five.
We had an incredible time with Silver Spark. After our safari trip, we went to South Africa. They were very caring about our journey and were willing to offer any assistance to us. We would recommend Silver Spark to everyone, who are looking for the best safari experience. Once again, thank you for bringing the unforgettable memories in our lifetime.

The unforgettable safari adventure in Kenya and Tanzania
We recently had the pleasure of embarking on an 11-Day Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari adventure that exceeded all expectations, thanks to the exceptional organization and the incredible team led by Abongo. From the moment we arrived until the final farewell, every aspect of the safari was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. Abongo, the founder of the company, proved to be the cornerstone of this remarkable experience.
One of the standout features of this safari was our outstanding guides David (Kenya) and Waziri (Tanzania). They had an uncanny ability to anticipate animal movements and, time and time again, put us in the best positions to witness nature's most incredible spectacles. Their knowledge of the African wildlife, flora, and fauna was nothing short of astounding.
If you're dreaming of an African safari, look no further than Silver Spark Africa Safaris. This adventure was a true once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will cherish forever.
