A professional and welcoming organization that I highly recommend trusting your vacation with
Every aspect of our engagement with Spirit of Kenya was a positive experience. Communications were clear and questions promptly answered. This a well organized company that we felt confident in committing our vacation to. The professionalism was not at the expense of a welcoming and friendly staff. Our guide was a pleasure to be with. He worked hard to make sure that we had an excellent experience. He was friendly, fun and informative. We stayed with the suggested itinerary and it was a good choice that whetted my appetite for further exploration of Kenya with this company. I am also hopeful to visit Tanzania and would definitely book through the sister company Soul of Tanzania which was highly recommended by people we met on our travels.

Fantastic Local Adventures with Serengoro Experience
I recently visited Tanzania and had an excellent experience booking with Serengoro Experience Tours for some amazing Arusha-area adventures: Napuru Waterfalls, exploring around Mount Meru, Arusha National Park and time in the vibrant city of Arusha. Our guide, Yusuph, was fantastic and a very pleasant person to be with I must admit. He made the whole trip even better! Knowledgeable, friendly, passionate about sharing Tanzania's nature and culture, and always in good spirits.

An excellent and memorable experience for three generations of our family.
The week we spent at Ku Sungula was the highlight of our three weeks in South Africa. The communication during booking, including organisation of transfers, was efficient and helpful. The accomodation and food were excellent and the staff invariably friendly and helpful. The game drives in the Olifants West Game Reserve were some of the best we've experienced in Africa, with a wide variety of animals, including rhino, elephant, hippo and lion. For added variety our package also included an enjoyable overnight excursion to the Kruger National Park and a day trip along the impressive Panorama Route.

Knowledgeable safari passionate guide with great 4 wheel driving skills.
I found/discovered Patrick at the at the airport - thought the vehicle was beautiful and I was operating on a tight time schedule with business meetings. Patrick was a professional, from his original quote to his accessibility on WhatsApp and confirmations of booking. Traveling and booking in foreign countries can be difficult to establish trust. Patrick was fantastic and more over his safari knowledge and driving skills were top notch.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Ninose Shigeru
The animals were, of course, magnificent.
Though I could only see it in the morning, Kilimanjaro was beautiful.
And when you go to Lake Amboseli, a landscape like a Windows PC desktop photo spreads out before your eyes.

A country that makes you genuinely want to return again
I spent four nights and five days in Kenya. Three of those days were spent on a safari tour in Amboseli National Park, and the other two were in Nairobi.
In Nairobi, as long as I followed basic tourist rules like "don't walk around alone at night" and "use taxis for transportation," I could move about with peace of mind.
The safari was a private tour. The guide was highly skilled, allowing us to see many animals in good spots, and he shared our excitement.
Overall, there were few touts, and we weren't persistently asked for tips. Kenyans struck me as gentle, respectful of personal space, and sincere.
Kenya, said to be the birthplace of bipedalism. Why not come back to your roots, everyone (humankind)?

Beautiful with lots to offer
Having left Kenya 54 years ago, I was delighted to go back for a holiday with 2 siblings. As soon as we landed, we felt at home! The first few days were to revisit where we used to live, our primary school [the building is still as lovely as before] and where our father worked. A local taxi driver took us around locally as well as further afield to Thika. Loved the waterfalls there but be careful you don't get ripped off! Check the cost of the boat ride plus the guides. Whilst we had a lovely time, it was a little spoilt by the demands for much more money than we had expected to pay.
Our 3 days safari, organised by Roju Safari was absolutely beautiful. The Masai Mara Park, lodge and 2 Safari drives were brilliant. The early morning drive is wonderful. Saw zebras, giraffes, elephants and many other animals walking around so naturally, it was clear this was their true habitat. A shout out to Samwell, who works for Jocky Tours - an amazing guide with a sharp eye and a willingness to please his clients. He and the Kenyan family who were part of the group safari made my trip even better.
We went to Nakuru for 3 nights, visiting Naivasha and Crescent Island where Out of Africa was filmed. I wish we had spent more than the three hours we stayed on the island. Once again, animals happily walking and sharing their environment.
Our trip finished with 3 more days in Nairobi. The Karan Blixen museum is well worth a visit. There are other interesting places to visit but it's nice to also enjoy the local walks and parks like Uhuru Park.

Benjamin is super nice. Very professional and knowledgeable.
My travel experience was extremely delightful and very easily handled. I was able to relax while my tour guide Benjamin had everything taken care of in his hands. Would highly recommend this service to anyone looking to just have a very nice, carefree easygoing experience. Seriously couldn’t have had it better.

Responsive and Efficient
Maraways Tours is truly an unforgettable experience. The tour guides work incredibly hard to ensure your trip is both customized and maximized from start to finish. Our guides were kind, professional, and amazing gatekeepers for us four ladies throughout our stay—we felt completely safe at all times.
They are extremely knowledgeable and willing to go off the beaten path to uncover hidden gems within the safari park. Beyond the wildlife, they also took the time to educate us about the Masai Mara people, their land, and their rich heritage, which made the experience even more meaningful.
Booking with Maraways is worth every penny, so don’t hesitate. Ask as many questions as you need to make your vacation enjoyable, then leave the planning to them—you won’t regret it. This was my fourth trip to Africa, and easily one of my favorite revisits!
Thank you so much, Esther, to you and your heartwarming team.
