Amazing safari experience in Kenya!
Amazing safari experience in Kenya!
This was an absolutely amazing journey. We visited three different national parks — Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Hell’s Gate — and every part of the trip was perfectly organized.
All questions and requests were always handled in the client’s favor. Accommodation and meals were very good, and we felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip. The team was attentive, flexible, and professional.
They also helped us book train tickets to Mombasa and back, which made our overall travel experience even smoother.
We have only positive impressions and can highly recommend this company to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

In good hands for a safari in Kenya
We contacted Spirit of Kenya to inquire about a safari in Kenya.
We immediately noticed the courtesy, clarity, and speed of communication, as well as the transparency and accuracy of the quotes.
We decided to go with them, and the experience was simply fantastic.
Everything went at the best: transfer, accommodation, vehicle, communication, food, … everything !
All people we have met were friendly, attentive while being always very professional.
The safari was simply amazing.
A special thanks to Ken our driver and guide: he was like a friend for us, totally committed to making us live an unforgettable experience.
I would have no doubts to recommend Spirit of Kenya for a journey and a safari in Kenya : you will be in good hands.

Kathi was organized, responsive, and planned an incredibly memorable trip for us.
Kathi planned an incredible trip for us that was executed perfectly without a single hitch. Every tour was fantastic, allowing us to see everything imaginable while still providing enough downtime to relax without feeling like we missed a thing. The friendly and professional guides she selected were top-notch, and the Safari camps were simply amazing—we saw almost every animal, except the rhinos! We also loved the itinerary app, which was awesome for sharing our real-time location and activities with family back home. I would highly recommend African Welcome Safaris to anyone looking for a seamless, memorable adventure.

Professional Planning & Expert Tour Guide: A Top-Tier Safari
Our safari was a fantastic experience, defined by seamless organization and an expert guide.
The Booking Experience
The planning process was smooth and stress-free. Vanessa was easy to communicate with, provided fast responses, and gave us a very clear quote.
Patient & Non-Pushy: They invested a lot of time into meeting our specific requests without being pushy.
Problem Solving: When we had some minor trouble with our room, they provided instant feedback and resolved the issue quickly.
The Safari Guide
Our guide Lawrence was exceptional, balancing professional skill with a deep respect for nature.
Expertise: Lawrence is a safe driver with a great vehicle. He had good knowledge about the wildlife and was eager to share his expertese with the whole group. We were able to experience the Big Five, but also a lot of other animals, all of which are interesting, from small birds, antilopes, giraffes, etc etc. He was able to explain the behaviors and the scenes playing out with the wildlife and other insights to what we were experiencing.
Responsive: Communication was easy, and the guide was highly attentive to our wishes throughout the tour. We have been to other safaris in the past and Lawrence really stands out in his personality and ability to communicate.
Ethical: Lawrence showed great respect for the animals, ensuring we observed them without causing disturbance.
Problem solving: During a trip like this things happen, both with us and others we meet. Lawrence showed excellent ability to adapt to the situations we met. At one time another car got stuck in the mud, Lawrence was quick to join the effort to help them out, which we appreciated, next time it could be us. This approach seem to give him a good network of other operators and staff, seems to know everyone we met along the trip.
We are very happy with the experience and the adventures, they will stay with us for our whole lives. We warmly recommend Gemfinders to anyone wanting a great experience and a solid booking and guiding experience.

Amazing Game drive in Masai Mara
The Safari was a great experience. The organization by Jocky Tours and the execution of the safari were excellent, we had a fantastic time! A very special thank you to our driver, Dickson. He drove us safely to the Masai Mara and back to Nairobi, explained us a lot during the safari and gave us plenty of time to take photos and videos.
I stayed at the Sopa Lodge and was very, very satisfied, a very nice lodge, with big rooms and a nice pool.
I highly recommend Jocky Tours!

Well organized, very friendly and extraordinary helpful - highly recommended 5 days trip
We had an excellent experience with The Shuttle Hospitality during our private five days trip in Uganda and can wholeheartedly recommend them.
From the very first contact with the owner of the company Bob the communication was clear, very fast, and professional - even of the short timing of the booking he made everything possible. Our itinerary of "only" five days was as we wished packed with different activities and different places. This help us to see even in a very short time a lot of Uganda and the beauty of it (nature, people/culture and wildlife).
The quality of the "on-ground" organization was also perfect. Transfers were always on time, the vehicle was comfortable and well maintained, and we always felt safe – even on long drives. Our guide Francis was not only very experienced and knowledgeable about the country, wildlife, and local culture, well connected to other people/guides but also genuinely friendly and attentive. He adapted the pace to our needs and made sure we felt comfortable at all times. He might be also one of the fasted drivers in Uganda (no reckless driving) which was the reason why we had the possability to do a lot of activities in a very short time.
Highlights like Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (gorilla trekking & batwa trail), Queen Elizabeth National Park (Safari & boat ride), Kibale Forest (chimpanzee trekking & community walk), and Lake Bunyonyi were seamlessly connected, without unnecessary repetition. During the two game drives helped Francis network and his knowledge of the places to see three times a leopard, (the treeclimbing) lion(s) and other wildlife. Accommodations were well chosen, clean, and beautifully/nearly located, often with great views.
We also appreciated how transparent and honest The Shuttle Hospitality was – no overpromising, no hidden costs, and realistic advice about what is worth doing and what isn’t. This made the entire trip feel very trustworthy and relaxed.
Overall, The Shuttle Hospitality delivered a highly professional yet personal travel experience, and we would not hesitate to book with them again or recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Uganda or the region.
Thank you for an unforgettable journey!

beautiful trip
Our trip was wonderful. We stayed at the Tremisana Lodge, a clean and lovely place. But the real value of this place is the people, always smiling, in a family atmosphere. We even found a little gift at Christmas dinner.
Thank you for giving my family a Christmas full of kindness.
