Awesome, do not miss the opportunity of being led by a real expert team
I’ve been to Kenya several times and have seen many of the beauties the country has to offer. But this tima it was totally different; I was with a leading team that knew every corner if the park. The organization was outstanding, and the whole experience difficult to match. Highly recommendable

What an amazing adventure!
Planning & organization with the company was exceptional before, during and after the tour. The company was responsive throughout the process and made recommendations on the overall tour for our group of 6 friends. Thank you Elias and team for helping us out and planning this amazing trip.
The tour was culturally rich as well as opportunity to be with nature and an abundance of wildlife. We saw lions, gorillas, chimpanzees, zebra, elephants, giraffes, worthogs, water buffalo, birds and so much more. We also had the opportunity of being with the people of Uganda and ventured through several villages including a specific pygmy village where they performed (sang songs and danced) for our group - a wonderful experience learning about the Pygmy people.
The food and lodgings were mixed (some better than others), but all were great and included private sleeping and bathroom facilities for each couple. Parkview lodge was probably our favorite because of the swimming pool but each offered something wonderful. The food was plentiful and excellent! Morning crepes/pancakes, toast (bread is fresh), soups and rolex were excellent and so much fresh fruit - we didn't lose any weight for sure!
The vehicle we had was in great condition even though it took a beating due to many dirt roads. Our gear for 6 people fit inside with no problem when transferring from one lodge to another lodge and there was always bottled water available. Our driver/guide kept it very clean too even after rainy/muddy days.
Our driver/guide Karim is the best one I've ever had on any trip. He genuinely cared about our experiences and worked very hard to ensure we enjoyed all the aspects of the tour and he kept us safe and reminded us on the do's and don'ts along the way. With Karim is was also evident that he knows everyone along the way, this came in handy when we missed our ferry (but they came back to get us once they saw Karim...seriously). Karim became our friend and family and we'll keep in touch with him.
We made a lifetime of wonderful memories with Karim and Home to Africa Tours and Travel. I highly recommend travel with this operator - you won't be disappointed.

Kilisa Tours... Trip of a lifetime
What a great experience!
I was a solo traveler looking to join a group of other solo travelers and I booked with Kilisa tours. Turns out our group was pretty small, it was just me and 1 other person but this turned out to be perfect

Well organised and very good service. Our best trip to Kenya.
We were extremely happy with choosing Spirit of Kenya for our 4th safari trip to Kenya.
We had Joseph as our guide during our 6 days in the Masai Mara (3 different locations) . He truly is an exceptional guide who was very flexible, experienced and went the extra mile and gave his all to make our safari experience one of the best we have ever had.
We saw absolutely everything in the Masai Mara. Some very special moments! Seeing the wildebeests cross the Mara river and see Cheetahs hunting. Things we had never seen before. In total we saw 87 different Lions, 4 different Leopards, 14 different Cheetahs and one Black Rhino during our 6 nights in the Masai Mara.
We had Charles for our days in Samburu. He was also an excellent guide and although we only had him for two days, we found him very pleasant and talented. We celebrated my wife's 40th at Ashnil Samburu and on that day we were lucky enough to see a stunning male Leopard with his kill up in a tree. What a great sighting! We stayed there and watched him for at least 1,5 hour. We couldn't have ask for more.
The whole trip was organised perfectly and we would definitely use Spirit of Kenya again.

Very well aranged and reliable
We booked a two day tour from Nairobi to Amboseli National Park with Southern Valley tours and we’ve had the best experience! Before booking we had quite some questions and Anderson responded very accurate and quickly. It was nice to gain some more information before booking the tour and transferring the money. On the day of the tour Anderson personally came to us to meet and to explain us a bit more about the tour. Then we left with our taxi drive and tour guide Jeremy. He was truly amazing! He was a very good and safe driver and was very friendly and flexible. Above all he had a very broad knowledge about the wildlife in the park. We did learn a lot. He managed to find a lot of animals. For the night we booked Kibo lodge. It was a very nice lodge with a spectacular view of the Kilimanjaro. I would highly recommend booking this tour operator because of their very good price and perfect quality. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Our 6 day Matoke Tour of Uganda was fantasic, truly unforgettable.
Booking the trip was made easy by our helpful, honest and caring consultant. She tailored our tour according to our timeframe and preferences. Nothing was a problem. Our guide was 100% professional and accommodating. At all times he made us feel safe and comfortable. His knowledge and insight into his country, the wildlife and social factors made our experience far richer than we expected.
Overall it was a truly unforgettable trip. Thank you Matoke, Confidence (our guide) and Lorna (our consultant).

Best safari ever!!!!
It was really amazing! We had so much fun, and during the whole time we felt very safe and fully taken care of. Our guide Frank was just the best! He told us all about the animals and made our experience unforgettable. He knew all the best spots, where and when to find the animals, his knowledge is vast! The food was delicious and we never felt hungry, thanks to our chef Masawi. All the campsites were nice and comfortable, but we would recommend to bring more warm clothes just in case. The whole trip starting day one was just perfect, everybody were super nice and friendly. We definitely recommend this safari tour company to everyone! Perfect value for money/quality!
