Excellent!
We (a family of four (kids 10/12) booked a 6-day safari tour, including a trip to Materuni waterfall on Kilimanjaro. I have to say that the trip was organised very well. The team picked us at the airport as promised, all the accommodations and transfers were as advertised and promised. Our tour guide, Mohamed, and our chef, Eric, were excellent. Mohamed made sure that we were comfortable while driving and was very helpful to our demands and needs, always searching for us to find as many animals and getting to them as close as possible. When talking to other camp visitors, travelling with different safari travel companies, they informed us that they weren’t able to see a lot of different animals, which made us realise that Mohamed really did put a lot of effort into ensuring that we saw as many animals as possible. The food was also excellent. Eric, the cook, cooked us breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, and he made sure that the food was diverse, local and very yummy. I would highly recommend going on a safari with Meru slopes!

Fascinating tour with a fantastic guide
We've had a 3-day tour. Our guide tried very hard on the first day we spent in Tarangire Park. He made every effort to see the maximum number of animals. In addition, during our visit, he constantly shared interesting facts about animals and their lives. On the second day, we had a small force majeure, but it's worth paying tribute, they took care of us at a good clinic, and guys accompanied us throughout this period. Thank you so much for this! It is essential to know that if something happens to you during the trip, you will not be abandoned but will be helped) We did not get to Ngorongoro on the second day, but Ngekewa quickly organized another tour to Manyara Park. On the third day, we had a visit to the coffee plantation. A lovely family greeted us. We cooked traditional dishes and learned the processes of making coffee. Thank you so much for these indescribable feelings.

Brilliant
From start of booking process to the final drop off after the trip this was a truly superb experience. Myself and 4 friends were driven by JeanMari who was a truly excellent driver and guide and looked after us all day in Akagera National Park. Saw every animal except lions and plenty of food drinks and rest stops. Very comfortable safari vehicle with opening roof WiFi and charging sockets. Very comfortable. Truly an amazing day. Highly recommend this safari company to anyone. Loved it and will use them again if I ever get the chance.

Very nice tour and excellent service around
I looked around for a 3-day tour to Ngorogoro, Tarangire and lake Manyara and found Topy Tours through good reviews. I wasn't disappointed, Jackson set me up for a great tour and also organized everything around it, from hotels and airport transfer to even getting me a local SIM card for the rest of my stay in Tansania. I can get warmly recommend him and Topy Tours in general. Thank you, Asante!

5-star experience & service
This was our first-time safari in Kenya planned in the middle of the pandemic and we did not know what to expect. Like some other reviewers, I have also exchanged 100+ emails with Tiago, our journey designer, and he always had a prompt, detailed and kind reply to every question or concern. This was in stark contrast to other operators I contacted who either took several days to reply or provided incomplete or ambiguous answers. Moreover, during our trip it also turned out that each of Tiago's answers was truthful and accurate. Tiago is really fantastic at his job and we are so grateful for his help with the planning.
We have selected a modified 6-day Into the Wild safari in Kenya. We have visited Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. This was a well-planned but intensive itinerary with fantastic sights and experiences. Our guide, Karasha, was fabulous. He was very experienced, knowledgeable and kind. Even though we did not have high expectations regarding the animal sightings, he showed us all animals we could have dreamed of seeing. Often, we were the only one or one of the few vehicles during a sighting.
Karasha has also told us a lot about the Kenyan history, tribal relations, politics, education system, environmental issues and so on. He showed a very high level of education and awareness of various issues. Even when speaking about controversial or problematic issues he spoke in a neutral and empathetic way. He was kind to everyone we met on the way, waving to children in villages, laughing with guards and other guides and was also very patient and friendly with us. Karasha is such a talented guide with a wonderful character and I cannot recommend him strongly enough!
Last but not least, Karasha is a very skilled and safe driver! We travelled many hours on the country roads with young children and we felt very safe.
We felt very fortunate to have found Spirit of Kenya. They allowed us to build a custom private safari at prices similar to big package companies. They have recommended only 2-3 accommodation options for each park and they were truly fantastic. Ilkeliani camp in Masai Mara was the most incredible and intimate place with the most amazing 5-star service I have ever experienced. I would not have found it without Spirit.
Spirit of Kenya truly provides a high quality service across all areas and does not save money at the expense of travelers. You will get great planning advice, a very good vehicle, an amazing guide, high-end binoculars, great accommodation options, great food and so on. They know everything and know how to offer the best experience to their clients. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Frank and team are professional, responsive, and deliver desired travel in Rwanda.
Booked back-to-back tours with gorilla trecking in Volcanoes National Park, and big five safari in Akagera National Park. Golden Rwanda Safaris were flexible and provided professional guidance and tour guides to make my dream gorilla trecking and big game African photo safari come true. For gorillas we spent an hour with a 22-member gorilla family as they eat and played, which included two silverbacks, two babies, and other varying aged gorillas and were supported by national park guides and excellent trackers. For big game safari, saw many, many wild animals and birds throughout the park on both day and night tours. Spent two nights at each location. Accommodations and food were excellent. Felt safe and secure at all times.
