The most unique experience ever
We booked this tour three days before departure and Clinton was the person we spoke too. His communication was great, he checked everywhere for availability and got us some really great accommodations. People usually arrive on day 1 in the afternoon but we arrived at around 2am so Clinton was able to get someone to pick us up and take us to our first hotel without a problem. Our driver, Boni, was outstanding. Picked us up on time on the first day of the safari and his driving skills were top notch. He tried his best to get us to see all big 5, unfortunately we just missed the leopards. His sense of direction was unbelievable, drove us through the most random roads and still got us to our hotels safely. We were quoted less than what a group experience would have been and we had the absolute best experience ever. We have already shared the information with so many of our friends who are interested in a trip like this. We would 100% book with this agency again.

Good job!
Bonface created a fantastic safari itinerary for a two-day safari trip to Amboseli National Park. Everything, including picking us up from our apartment in Nairobi, was taken care of by Bonface. The person who accompanied us for the two days was both an excellent driver and guide. I can only say that it was a wonderful safari trip for our family.

The best holiday EVER
I did a 5-day safari with 3 nights in lodges and 2 nights camping. The experience was absolutely amazing — we saw so many animals and never felt bored for a second. The food was delicious and plentiful, with a great variety of vegetables, meat, fruit, and more. I never once felt hungry after a meal.
Our guide was fantastic, and the places we stayed were all great. The camping was basic but fine — cold showers in the Serengeti, but it was manageable. In Ngorongoro, it was very cold at night, but the campsite was beautiful and we even slept beside zebras, which made it unforgettable. The team who organized the safari were always available and incredibly helpful.
I 100% recommend this safari experience — I loved every moment of it.
There’s also an optional activity for $20: visiting a Maasai village. Personally, I don’t recommend it. For me, it didn’t feel authentic — everything seemed staged. We were welcomed with a dance, then shown the school where children recited letters and numbers, and afterward taken to the “houses” where there was nothing inside. They explained how they lived, but something about it just didn’t add up for me.

A beautiful memories I will always carry in my hearts.
The journey was challenging, but every step was worth it for this unforgettable encounter with nature’s giants. My 3-day gorilla trekking adventure in Uganda was nothing short of magical. Trekking through lush, mist-covered forests, we followed the calls of birds and the rustle of leaves until we finally stood face-to-face with a gentle mountain gorilla family. Watching their playful young and wise silverback in their natural habitat was a humbling, once-in-a-lifetime moment. Every moment I felt excited and thrilled.

The perfect guide and host
We made with 3 guys a wonderful trip to the summit of the Kilimanjaro thanks to Renga and his team. Everything was well organised from the start at Kilimanjaro Airport. Renga is the perfect guide and an excellent host. He made our dream come true, step by step as he was used to say. Many tnx!!!

Top-Notch SOLO Experience Spencer Safari
As a solo female traveler of a certain—and let's just say, advanced—age, I approached my Mt. Kilimanjaro summit to the Mandara Huts with both excitement and a healthy dose of caution. SpencerSafari made sure I only had to focus on one thing: the joy of the journey.
From the moment they picked me up right on schedule, I knew I was in capable hands. The support team was not only professional but also incredibly thoughtful. My guide/porter was a gem—carrying my water, garments, and even a delicious lunch so I could concentrate on my footing and soak in the experience. The early morning wake-up call was just one of many details they handled with precision and care.
SpencerSafari made my solo trek seamless, safe, and empowering. If they can help me reach my goal, they can help anyone. I’m officially a fan. A+ service, heart, and execution.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking a personalized, well-supported adventure on Kilimanjaro!

Hamadi is the best of the best.
Cannot say enough about this amazing experience! We loved all the lodges and our guide, Hamadi was amazing.
Most importantly, we had the best experience seeing all the Big 5 up close plus so much more. It was the trip of a lifetime and the kindness and generosity of the Tanzanian people will bring me back again.

We loved our Safari adventure
We had a fantastic time and loved the safari. Peter our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. The chosen camp in the Masai was superb with giraffes and wildlife all around. A memorable experience. We highly recommend this company.

Amazing, Flexible and accomodating
Patrick was an absolute pleasure to deal with in the lead up to our safari, he modified the tour to include a visit to the town which my mum was born in, which is off the tourist trail and organised a birthday cake for my 6 year old daughter. The time and thought put into every aspect of the tour was amazing.
We can not fault our driver Gordon. Not only were his driving skills impressive, but his animal spotting too. We considered him family by the end of the safari.
We saw all the big 5 plus so much more.
We travelled budget and found all the accommodation suitable to our needs.
I would not hesitate in recommending this company to anyone.

A positive, flexible and very helpful local operator happy to tailor a tour to our interests.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 16 days of travel around Botswana and Victoria Falls with Sekanka Travel. Sekanka is a very responsive family company that was happy interact with us and provide great suggestions while we were planning our visit to Botswana. They were very flexible about including additional places we wanted to visit (for example Tsodilo Hills and the Okavango Panhandle) and provided us with a fully detailed itinerary.
We were looked after very well while we were there by our Sekanka guide Thalo, and the staff at the places we stayed. Accommodation was excellent and we were particularly impressed by Planet Baobab and staff at the camp we stayed at in the Okavango Panhandle. Transport provided by Sekanka was a van and a four wheel drive driven by Thalo which suited us very well as we both enjoy a good road trip. Thalo was an excellent driver on challenging roads.
We particularly enjoyed the many opportunities to walk or travel in boats and mokoro with guides to learn about trees, birds, animals and rock drawings. We appreciated the chance to visit villages and towns, meet people, and even learn to weave a bowl.
All in all a great trip and we have many many photographs to remind us of it.
