friendly, knowledgeable, punctual, professional
We cannot say enough good things about Spirit of Kenya! Our trip planner Victor and guide Dominic went above and beyond to make the 6-day safari memorable for my mom (72 years old) and me.
From the start, Victor was very responsive to all of our queries and requests, and helped us to create an individualized itinerary, which included stops at Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and Masai Mara.
Our wonderful guide Dominic was friendly, courteous, punctual, and very knowledgeable about Kenya's culture and its wildlife. Dominic navigated the streets of Nairobi as well as the grasslands with ease, and he worked very hard, often coordinating with other guides, to ensure that we saw as many animals (lions, zebra, cheetah, rhinos, hyenas) as possible. The jeep that he drove was fully enclosed and very comfortable. We would recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone looking for a lovely, stress-free trip to Kenya!

A country everyone should experience at least once!
Cape Town is a must, lots to see and do! There are load of good restaurants and pubs but I think Quay Four deserves a mention. We had a fantastic meal here. We stayed in the in Onomo Waterfront hotel, it was good value for money, clean and close enough to walk to the V&A Waterfront.
We flew from Cape Town to Durban and then to Lanseria on FlySafair. Great airline, easy to book with their mobile app. The flights were on time and everything went like clockwork.
We stayed in Umdloti on the North cost, we rented a private apartment. Also lots to do in the area and lovely beaches.
In Johannesburg area we visited The elephant Sanctuary, what a great experience, highly recommended!
We booked a visit to Pilansberg via MoAfrika. They did a wonderful job. We asked for an afternoon and a morning game drive with 1 night's accommodation. This was all handled by them. We stayed at Kwa Maritane, lovely place with fantastic meals. Our game drive with MoAfrika's vehicle was great, the guide knew his stuff and made sure we saw some animals. Unfortunately the Pilansberg was disappointing, the roads are in a terrible state and not as much game as expected. I would rather go to Kruger National Park next time.

Very kind people with diverse amazing natures
Tanzania is the first country that I visited in Africa a bit randomly. But it treated us very well. We spent 5 days with Serengeti Mystery on safari tour and another 5 days in Zanzibar enjoying the beautiful beach and ocean. It's a very safe country. People everywhere we visited are very kind and hard working. We saw locals would walk very far to fetch water, etc. I can see how there are so many best in the world long distance runners coming from this country. Zanzibar is more laid back. People like to take it slow and "hakuna matata". The staff accommodating us are all very thoughtful and helpful. I wouldn't be stressed about booking for the next day's activities, because the guides, hotel staff or locals are always there to help. We enjoyed the very close to nature, wildlife, simple and relaxing pace of life there.

Review about Pilanesberg Game Reserve by Astrid van der Watt
The roads are in a bad state.
Not many animals to be seen when compared to Kruger National Park.

Paradise, just a few hours from Joburg
Amazing day in paradise. You spend your whole day in a Caldera with more than 10,000 animals, elephants herds, hippos, lions, tons of rhinos, giraffes… all in the wild.
You get such a freedom feeling being able to roam around with a 4WD guided tour that you feel lost in time, just relaxing with these amazing animals.
Best things I did in SA, real highlights of my trip!
Thanks Petros, great relaxed, friendly and knowledgeable driver;-)

My tour operator was fantastic. He was insightful, funny and knowledgeable. Made the trip great!
My overall experience was superb. The trip was well organized and run very efficiently. I particularly enjoyed the overnight stop between Tarangire and Ngorongoro national parks. The food and entertainment at this stop was world class. At Ngorongoro, I got the rare experience of seeing a lion eating a zebra carcass from only a few feet away! Highly recommend and would definitely go on another safari with Karibu.

10 days Kenia and Tanzania
We opted for a budget tour. For such a small price, the safari was fantastic. The accommodations were clean, the food was delicious, and we saw what we wanted—lots of animals. Many thanks to Lizzy, she always answered our many questions quickly and accommodated our special requests. We can only recommend this tour operator.

This Kenya trip creating memories to last a lifetime.
This 13-day Kenya trip was unforgettable: tracking the Special Five in Samburu, seeing rare caracals, elephant families playing in water, black rhinos and hyenas competing for lion prey in Sweetwater, waterbirds and lions mating at Lake Nakuru, the Big Five in Maasai Mara with impressive leopards and majestic lions, cheetahs and herbivores, hiking near animals at Lake Naivasha, flamingos and elephants in Amboseli. We saw almost all animals, thanks to Leopard Travel's careful arrangements and Mr. Lawrence's professional guiding. Grateful and will visit Kenya again.
