Great Safari
We only had a short time for a safari as we were going to Zanzibar. We have done a safari in the Masai Mara for several days previously so wasn't sure about a short one but we were not disappointed as we got to see a lot of animals over a short space of time including Rhinos which we never got to see in the wild before. Our driver Wilfred was professional and polite throughout. He knew where to find a lot of the animals. He wanted us to see the big five but we didn't see lions or leopards but this wasn't due to Wilfred's efforts as he went above and beyond.

The only safari operator you need to consider and we researched plenty
We were a group of seven and chose Spirit of Kenya after being impressed by how quickly and helpfully Filipa responded to our initial enquiries. That responsiveness honestly set them apart from every other operator we contacted, and it turned out to be a good sign of things to come.
Our guides Nester and Joseph exceeded all expectations. Nester in particular has an exceptional depth of knowledge wildlife, birds, local ecology that none of us had encountered in previous safari experiences. He also has a wonderful rapport with communities around the Masai Mara, which gave our group genuine, unscripted insights into Maasai culture and daily life.
When local protests created potential disruptions to our itinerary, both guides handled everything calmly and expertly, getting us to each destination safely. It was reassuring to be in such capable hands.
Logistically, the trip was flawless every hotel check-in was smooth and well arranged, and thoughtful touches like the Spirit of Kenya branded water bottles showed real attention to detail.
If you are considering Spirit of Kenya, don’t hesitate. Ask for Nester and Joseph as your guides, and you will not be disappointed :-)

Absolutely incredible, great company!
We were nervous about making such a big commitment as a safari at a time when global travel had become uncertain. But Extra Miles lived up to its name at every opportunity. From the beginning, their clear communication and reasonable pricing stood out from other competitors. Our safari coordinator, Faith, was so understanding and patient. She helped us to thoroughly understand our options and our commitment. Her communication was clear, proactive, and professional.
We were happy to get to finally meet her on the morning of our hotel departure, along with the company director, Melisa, and our wonderful guide Felix.
Felix took excellent care of us every step of the way, safely navigating the most challenging driving conditions, whether on long drives between locations, or in the parks. He gave great recommendations, and arranged extra activities along the way. Most of all, his 20+ years of guide experience really stood out, making him seem like a good luck charm with all of our incredible animal sightings!
The Sopa lodges (Mara and Nakuru) were beautiful, with incredibly welcoming and helpful staff. I highly recommend this experience and this company, they truly go the extra mile.

Simply amazing
I have done 9 safaris until now, and today was the best safari day I have ever had! Omar and Erik were simply amazing. They were exceptionally in spotting the best opportunities to see animals and I'll never forget the scenes I saw today. We saw chitas, leopards, lions and a lot of other animals in tarangire, simply unique!

An excellent safari operator who makes the trip feel effortless, personal and unforgettable
The safari was perfectly organized from start to finish. Naomi was incredibly helpful, responsive, and always available to answer any questions we had. As this was our first safari, her guidance was invaluable in helping us plan everything smoothly. She was professional, efficient, and booked wonderful accommodations for us. Every lodge exceeded our expectations, and the staff at each location made us feel truly welcome.
Everything was arranged so well that we barely had to worry about anything except getting ready for the adventure.
The safari itself was an unforgettable experience, thanks to our guide Thomas. He accompanied us through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara National Parks, making every day special. Thomas is friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about his work. Not only did he help us spot an incredible variety of wildlife, but he also shared fascinating insights about the animals and their behavior throughout the trip.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this team to anyone planning a safari.
