Knowledgeable, accommodating, polite, understanding and willing to do what it takes to make it perf!
I booked to celebrate my birthday...this tour was far more than I expected! He made all of our accommodations, was timely and always had us in the prime spots to see the best animals. It was extremely evident that we booked the best guide! I'm so thankful that I chose to book with Kihindo tours. It was a literal dream!

Great Safari Agency
We had a school's short break and we decided to do safari with my friends to Africa. We were introduced to David by a friend who was in Kenya last year and immediately we contacted him. He was very fast in responding to my emails and WhatsApp and gave us a very competitive price.
We did 5 days safari to Masai Mara, and lake Naivasha and it was just amazing. John was our safari guide throughout the trip, and we were very happy with his knowledge of the parks and where to find the animals. His very early morning safari with picnic breakfast was the best of all seeing the sunrise and then continuing for the full day safari to see the crocodiles at the river Mara. The next 2 nights was at Naivasha. Sawela hotel was very good, and we had a morning walk, and we were able to see antelopes and giraffes in their gardens (this walk must be done very early to be able to see this animals)
I won't hesitate to recommend them to anyone going on safari to Kenya.
Kudos all the team at NAV!!

We will go for another safari with Jong!
jong is quite famous when I read reviews. In deed, he is nice and professional. We had planned a 10 days mid-range safari with him, it was incredible organized. We saw a lot of animals. We saw lions, elephants, leopards, some rhinos, and unlimited buffalos. Safari was incredible and we will come back soon!

They are the best!
Their reviews tell everything, and that's why we choose them also! Good service, nice quotation, best driver guide, luxury safari experience! I would give 100 star to Solomom, he is the king of the jungle and he knows eveytrhing about animals. We love him and miss him! Our safari was way way beyond our expectation! Thank you very much Jong and Solomon!

Great and unique experience
We had 4 excellent days on Safari with Suricata.
The communication on details of the tour prior to the booking and also afterwards with Hilary was very quick and helpful all the time. Mandela our guide made it such a great experience, he was very kind and has such good knowledge about the nature and the animals. You could feel he loves to show and share the beauty of his country.
He took great care of all timings and made us feel safe all the time as well.
We wouldn‘t change a thing and directly book again with Suricata.

5 beatiful days with Suricata
I was totally satisfied with all aspects of the tour.
The organisation before boarding to Tansania was very good. All of my questions regarding entry requirements, payments, timing of departure flight and other detail questions were responded quickly by Hilary.
The pick-up from the airport was on time and we had some comfortable resting time before doing the Safari.
The Safari team was also great. James our cool guide, alias 007, made us enjoy our days, gave us valuable information and responded all of our questions about the animals. Musa our cook prepared fantastic food, which I would not have expected.
All in all we enjoyed our Safari and had fantastic 5 days.

An amazing experience from start to finish!
We had an amazing safari trip thanks to Spirit of Kenya! Because of my work, I only had about a little over a month or so to plan this trip from the time I decided I wanted to go to the time we landed in Nairobi. It wouldn't have been possible without the amazing help from Vanessa, our main contact and trip consultant. She made it super easy for me to customize our trip and made sure everything was taken care of before we arrived in Nairobi (and very promptly answered every silly question that I had!).
Vanessa gave an excellent selection of options for each area that we stayed in (Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, and Maasai Mara) at different price points, which made it easy to try to get the most out of my budget for the trip. We stayed at a nice mix of mid-range and luxury accomodations which all had slightly different vibes, and we were extremely happy with all of them - Kibo Safari Camp in Amboseli, Naivasha Sopa Lodge in Naivasha, Flamingo Hill Tented Camp in Nakuru, and finally Amani Mara in Maasai Mara (absolutely worth splurging on!). It was also easy to book add-ons with her -- we opted for the open sided 4x4 jeep (absolutely would recommend this), as well as a hot air balloon ride and Maasai Village tour while we were in Maasai Mara (both of which were definitely worth it). We were very grateful to have Vanessa as our consultant!
Our guide for our trip was Shumo, and he was fantastic! He was super knowledgeable about all the parks we visited, and knew the best places to look for animals. We easily saw the Big 5 (and then some) with him! He also suggested good last minute edits to our game drive schedule that were excellent and obviously well informed - after a long and bumpy drive to Maasai Mara, he suggested we do the nature walk hosted by Amani Mara instead of an afternoon game drive (which we loved -- it was so nice to get out and walk around after the long drive). He also mentioned that Amani Mara did night safaris, so we did a long morning game drive instead of an all-day game drive one day in order to make sure we had enough down time before our night safari! (which was an excellent suggestion -- we loved it!) He was always super communicative about our planned schedule each day. We really enjoyed our time chatting with him as well. Thank you, Shumo!

Review about South Luangwa National Park by Philippe
Very interesting place with a lot of different ecosystems. Bird's and obviously the marvelous leopard. Plan a stay of at least 3 or 4 days because he is not always easy to see !
