Very knowledgeable about the animals and made the safari entertaining.
Thoroughly enjoyed the safari! Desmond was really great! Got a chance to see Giraffes, Rhinos, Hippos, Elephants, and more all up close. Would definitely do it again!

Amazing Safari Experience in Kenya with Apodiformes Adventures
Fredrick was our main contact when organizing our trip to Kenya. From the beginning, he was very clear with all the information and quick to respond — most of the time, we received replies the same day. He provided us with a detailed itinerary based on the destinations we wanted to visit, and his communication was always attentive and professional. Even during the trip, he checked in with us to make sure everything was going well, which we really appreciated. Fredrick offers excellent customer service — he’s honest, clear, and always ready to answer any questions. All hotel bookings and check-ins went smoothly, and he sent us confirmations ahead of time, which gave us peace of mind.
Sebastian was our driver during the safari. He was always punctual and followed the planned itinerary, but also showed great flexibility. As often happens on safari, plans may change depending on how tired you are or how long you want to observe animals. We talked with Sebastian about making small adjustments to the schedule, and he was always open and helpful in reorganizing things.
Sebastian wasn’t with us during the hot air balloon activity because the tour included transportation from our hotel early morning, but he had told us not to worry and that he would find us afterward. Sure enough, after we had finished our breakfast out on the savannah, there he was — right on time and exactly where we needed him. When Sebastian tells you not to worry and that he’ll find you, he really means it.
He also handled all meal and timing coordination with the hotels, and you could clearly see his experience in navigating the parks. He always knew the best spots and angles to give us front-row views of the animals and enough time to take photos and enjoy the moment.
This was my first safari, and thanks to Apodiformes, it was an amazing experience. My advice: tell them what kind of animals, parks, or experiences you’re looking for, and they’ll build the perfect plan for you.
Just keep in mind that safaris involve dusty and bumpy roads — it’s part of the adventure. But once you see the animals up close, it’s all absolutely worth it!

Excellent choice for creating a perfect family safari experience
I would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya. Having read so many positive reviews during my research my expectations were high and I’m pleased to say they were met.
This is what they promise and deliver -
“Every safari is unique, let us design your journey to make it truly extraordinary and tailor made to your expectations and budget.” I had many emails to Jorge and Gerardo during the planning of the trip and they were very helpful and patient in helping to create the perfect itinerary for my family. From the moment we were met at Nairobi airport everything was seamless. Our guide, Boniface, was exceptional. He was an excellent driver, knowledgeable, personable and very experienced at finding animals. He was available from before sunrise to after sunset so we had plenty of time to see and track animals. We visited the Masai Mara and stayed at Mara Sopa Lodge and Malaika Camp providing different experiences and I would happily recommend both and 100% recommend Spirit of Kenya.

Amazing Kenya Safari!
I had an unforgettable trip to Kenya Safari! Everything was well organised by Fancina Africa Tour & Safari, and also our group leader Alex— from the planning to the smallest details, everything ran smoothly and on schedule.
Our game driver was fantastic — knowledgeable, patient, and with an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw so many amazing animals up close and learned so much about them.
Kenyan people are some of the most welcoming I have ever met, and their warm hospitality made our journey even more special. A highlight was when the resort staff surprised one of our group members with a birthday celebration — such a thoughtful gesture that truly touched our hearts. Their service was impressive in every way.
This trip was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we’re so grateful for the professionalism, warmth, and effort from the whole team.

Very good communication and accurate description of tour.
We did a quick 2 day tour of Amboseli in August 2025. Picked us up around 7:30am the first day in Nairobi, then about a 4-5 hour drive to a camp site near the park gate. There was one stop on the way for coffee and bathroom, at a touristy store / rest area. Upon arrival at camp, we got set up in our tent and then had lunch after. Overall campsite experience was great, there were power outlets and WIFI all working fine. There was also phone signal the entire time. The food provided at camp was also really good. Around 3:30-5:30pm there was a game drive on day 1, followed by Dinner around 7pm. Day 2 we had breakfast around 7:30am and from 8-10am went for a second game drive. After the game drive, we started the return to Nairobi with another stop for lunch (this time, lunch was not included). Driver stopped at a fancy store place with restaurant and bathrooms. By 5pm we were back in Nairobi on day 2. Overall it was amazing experience, and we got to see many zebras, elephants, giraffes, wildebeests, monkeys, but only 1 lion on the first day. It really depends on several factors. Also, the view from the campsite to mount Kilimanjaro is not guaranteed. First day it was cloudy and not visible at all. Second day was only partially visible in the early hours 7-8am, then it got cloudy again. There were also extra activities you could do, such as early morning walk day 2 with a Masai person outside the campsite and also visit a Masai village. Both of these were extras and cost about $20 USD per person each, we chose not to do it.

Unforgettable Safari Experience!
From start to finish, this safari was an absolute highlight! Our guide Rocky made the days truly special – with a warm personality, great sense of humor, and incredible knowledge about wildlife, plants, and nature.
We didn’t just visit the best spots; we also learned fascinating stories and facts that brought the whole experience to life. Thanks to his sharp eye, we spotted lions, elephants, giraffes, and many more – always with the utmost respect for the animals and their environment.
The accommodations along the way were comfortable, clean, and full of character – each with its own charm and spectacular views. The food was equally impressive: fresh, flavorful, and plentiful, with delicious local dishes that made every meal a treat.
Our guide answered every question with patience, always knew where the next adventure was waiting, and made sure we felt safe and well taken care of at all times.

Exceptional, Authentic, Educational + Personalized Experience!
I took a group of Midland University students on a 100% personalized trip to Tanzania. Since the trip was also worth credit, we had specific learning outcomes that needed to be met. I worked directly with Brenda to discuss our preferences for the trip, including: Visiting local schools, learning about the healthcare system, going on safari, hiking a portion of Mount Kilimanjaro, and engaging in ample cross-cultural experiences. Brenda was extremely communicative and thoughtful. In planning our travel, we had to revise our itinerary more than once to accommodate changing flights and the number of students in the class. Brenda took this all in stride and was able to find accommodations and experiences that fit our budget. During our two week trip, we felt completely taken care of - the trip felt seamless. We had no stress whatsoever - our only job was to enjoy the vacation and to learn as much as possible. I cannot say enough good about the entire experience with Tanzania Choice Safaris. Our guides were incredible and we felt like we were a part of the Tanzania Choice Safari Family. In terms of communication, service, value for money, reliability, and our tour overall - I would 100% give my strong recommendation to anyone seeking to travel to Tanzania - no matter the budget or complexity of the trip!

Tanzania is a beautiful country, and we had an unforgettable experience thanks to Dancing Simba!
Two families (nine people) went on a two-week safari through Tanzania with Dancing Simba. I can highly recommend them! Here's why: It started with the communication beforehand. Super-fast responses, pleasant personal communication, the option to tailor the quote entirely to our wishes, and David and Lucy's helpful input. This immediately gave us confidence. The entire trip was well organised, from pick-up at the airport to drop-off at the airport. Our guides Josh, Buldozer and (as a bonus) Owen were great. They knew a lot about the flora and fauna, were really driven to give us the best possible safari experience (which sometimes meant getting up very early), communicated a lot about the programme, were very flexible in making adjustments to the programme when necessary, knew the parks like the back of their hand, and made sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. Tanzania is a beautiful country, and we had an unforgettable experience thanks to Dancing Simba!
