Exceptional guide who went above and beyond
We had an amazing safari experience with Jungleroam Safaris, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Kush. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience, often taking extra time and effort to help us spot wildlife and unique sightings that many other groups missed. His knowledge, patience, and passion for the animals and the area were evident throughout the trip.
Kush was always attentive, friendly, and determined to make every game drive special. Thanks to his expertise, we saw incredible wildlife and created unforgettable memories. I would highly recommend Jungleroam Safaris and especially Kuch to anyone looking for a truly outstanding safari experience.

Unforgetable experience
I'm from Argentina and this was my first safari ever, and it exceeded all my expectations. I joined a group as a solo traveler and from the very first moment I felt welcomed and looked after.
Dennis, our guide, was absolutely incredible. From the moment we left Nairobi, he was already telling us about the different places we passed through on the way to Masai Mara. I had a million questions and he answered every single one with patience and enthusiasm. Once inside the park, his skills were remarkable, he always knew exactly where to position the Land Cruiser so we could get the best views and photos of the animals.
We saw everything: lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, pumbas and so many more. My absolute favorites were the zebras, and Dennis took us so close that I could photograph them just a few meters away. He shared so many fascinating facts about each animal that the experience felt not only exciting but truly educational!
Beyond the wildlife, what struck me most was the peacefulness of the park itself. There's something deeply moving about being surrounded by that vastness and just observing nature in silence.
I also had the chance to visit a Maasai village, which was a beautiful and meaningful cultural experience that I will always treasure.
A fun detail: Dennis even waited for me while I looked for hot water to prepare my Argentine mate! That's the level of care and warmth he brought to the whole trip.
Thank you Dennis, and thank you Jocky Tours, for giving me an experience I will never forget.

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.

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 :-)

Robbert excellent guide professional service and well organized itinerary
Our safari with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris was worth every penny! Our guide was exceptional highly knowledgeable about the ecology and animal habits, always happy to answer questions, and great at positioning the vehicle for the perfect photo angles. The service and delicious food at our luxury lodges were top-tier, and the staff even performed an incredibly unique and beautiful birthday song. My only minor complaint is that some of the lunch provided outside the hotels weren't very tasty, but overall, the excellent guiding, reliable service, and high-quality accommodations made this an unforgettable and highly recommended experience!

Very kind and helpful
We have the most incredible safari. Our tour guide Ali was extremely knowledgeable and keen to help. We would come back again.
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.

Amazing Experience
A huge thank you to Derrick for making the second half of our safari so memorable.
From the moment we joined his vehicle, he was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He always kept us informed about the daily plans, happily answered our many questions, and shared fascinating insights about the wildlife, parks, and local area throughout the trip.
What really stood out was his experience and remarkable ability to spot animals. Thanks to his sharp eye and expertise, we enjoyed some amazing wildlife sightings that we might otherwise have missed. He also created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere in the group, making long days on safari both fun and comfortable.
Our visits to Lake Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli were fantastic, and Derrick played a big part in making those experiences so special.
We would highly recommend Derrick to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated safari guide. He truly helped turn a great trip into an unforgettable one.
