A Truly Unforgettable Safari Experience with Spirit of Kenya
5/5

One of my mom's lifelong dreams has been to go on an African safari, and Spirit of Kenya made that dream come true. Our planner, Filipa, crafted a wonderful 5 day itinerary that allowed us to explore Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli.

Our driver and guide, Raphael, was phenomenal. My mom really wanted to see the Big Five, and thanks to his sharp eye and experience, we were able to spot lions, rhinos, buffalos, and elephants, along with so many other amazing animals like warthogs, antelopes, gazelles, crocodiles, hippos, and countless beautiful birds. We also witnessed unforgettable moments, from a lion carrying the carcass of an antelope between Land Cruisers to an elephant charging at a female lion and her cubs to defend its own.

We appreciated how Raphael not only taught us about the animals but also shared fascinating insights about Kenya's history, culture, and his own experiences as a Maasai.

On our final day, we encountered a protest on the road back to Nairobi, and Raphael handled the situation calmly and resourcefully to ensure we reached the airport on time for our flight.

Overall, it was a spectacular trip, and we felt so cared for from start to finish. I would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya and Raphael Torome to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

This travel agency communicated promptly and was even reachable via WeChat in China. The price was fair and the itinerary ran smoothly. They assigned us a highly experienced guide, John, and thanks to him we were able to see almost every scene we had hoped for.

Our guide is the best in the world.
5/5

Our guide is the best in the world. He excels at finding the perfect camera angles and has an in-depth understanding of the habits and movement patterns of small animals. On multiple occasions, he positioned us early at specific spots, waiting for lions and leopards to pass right in front of us. This gave us a high chance of capturing photos with lions, leopards, and people in the same frame.

He is also incredibly skilled at anticipating animal behavior among a cluster of vehicles, even creating opportunities for animals to cross the road right before us. For particularly rare and precious photographic moments, while others might only get one chance, our guide persistently sought out opportunities for us to witness them multiple times. He was almost like a "wishing well"—every morning, we'd "order" sightings of lions, leopards, or rare animal behaviors, and he would do his utmost to fulfill our requests.

With his eagle-eyed vision, he could spot even the smallest animals from great distances. For instance, he once pointed out critically endangered black-and-white colobus monkeys from at least 200 meters away. His sharp eyes often made him the lead vehicle, directing others to the action. Even a group of a dozen young lions hiding in the grass couldn’t escape his notice, allowing us to enjoy such scenes almost exclusively.

Our guide was also exceptional at providing emotional support. He created his own motivational slogans, offering encouragement at the end of each day as we experienced "safari withdrawal," keeping us energized and happy throughout. He fulfilled every request we made.

Another crucial point is his punctuality. Throughout our eight or nine days together, he was never late—always arriving on time. To enhance our experience, he often agreed to start early upon our request, conducting morning safari drives. So, if you're planning a trip to Africa, you definitely can’t miss the opportunity to safari with him.

we met the best guide Francis!
5/5

We were very lucky to meet jungleroam and the guide Francis this time. Before coming here, I was a little nervous. Regarding Africa, we had fantasies and fears about the unknown, not knowing what we would encounter here. But jungleroam's chesi arranged everything and offered a very fair price. When we saw Francis, his big smile instantly reassured us.
Francis has been a guide for 15 years. He has excellent driving skills (which are really important for the poor roads in Kenya), and he has eagle-like eyes that can find all kinds of animals on the grassland. These days, we have witnessed countless lions, elephant herds, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles and so on. Moreover, Francis is always able to predict the trajectories of the animals and drive there in advance. We saw an elephant crossing Mount Kilimanjaro in the first row of the sea of vehicles and spending a long time alone with two lions in the vast Masai Mara. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely choose Francis.We were very lucky to meet jungleroam and the guide Francis this time. Before coming here, I was a little nervous.

Very Professional and Friendly! Highly recommended
5/5

Joachim was our driver on a 10 day / 9 night northern circuit safari in Tanzania in early March, covering Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater, Ndutu and the Serengeti . From the moment we were picked up at JRO airport, we were at ease.

Joachim was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and their habits, including all the different types of birds that we saw. Somehow he was able to navigate the entire time without a map. He was also incredibly respectful to the rules of the parks and also the animals in general, which was in stark contrast to some of the other guides/jeeps that we saw. He was also extremely professional as a driver, never going too fast and always prioritizing our comfort.

Most importantly, he is a great human being, and we were very luck to have him as our guide on a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Highly recommend requesting Joachim as your guide if book with this operator!

Frist time Botswana safari
5/5

Michelle did a good job arranging our first trip to Africa. I am detailed with a lot of questions. She was personable and patient with all our questions and requests. The trip she arranged, on somewhat short notice, met all our expectations. We stayed in Cape Town before 11 nights in three Botswana camps, two in the Okavango and one in the Kalahari. The trip was what we wanted and went off without a hitch. We would use her services again and recommend her.
