They are attentive and caring to make sure that the experience is enjoyed at the most
It was a fantastic experience in Tanzania with Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, enjoying Materuni waterfall, and trekking Kilimanjaro up to Uhuru Peak.
Moises was our one-stop man: driver, coordinated our guide in Spanish language, and taking care of every detail to ensure we had a fantastic time

Fantastic Safari - Great Company - Highly Recommended!
Bottom line: Excellent overall experience – would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya to my friends and family – in fact, I already have done so for friends thinking to visiting!
Have recently returned from our week-long safari, I have nothing but the highest praises for the entire Spirit of Kenya experience. Working with Vanessa to plan our trip was a comfortable and confidence inducing effort. I had been to Kenya 31 years earlier and was excited to take family members back to experience the grandeur of Kenya for themselves. Based on my prior experience, I had specific things I wanted to accomplish. Vanessa helped structure the trip so it was efficient and covered the areas I was most interested in visiting, and book accommodations that were in line with our budget, style and expectations. She was knowledgeable and responded to all my inquiries and changes very promptly and with great customer service.
Based on my prior visit, many (31) years ago, I knew the importance of working with a reputable tour company, especially one that had “in field” support from the head office and other vehicles in the parks. After doing my research, Spirit of Kenya seemed to fit criteria. It is easy to write a 5-star review for a trip where everything goes like clockwork, but earning a 5-star review when there is a hiccup is the highest of complements. DISCLAIMER: Please note that safari roads are dirt, rock and gravel and vehicles (and people) take a beating, so the following is not intended to be a reflection negatively on vehicle maintenance – hey, this is safari and things can go wrong! During our first game drive, our vehicle wouldn’t start after stopping for pictures of some of our early animal sightings. Our driver, Peter, (and other safari drivers) worked diligently to get it running, but it became clear that a mechanic would be needed. Two other Spirit of Kenya drivers had stopped to help and they quickly shuffled passengers to allow my family to continue our game drive with another driver, Dennis, until our vehicle could be fixed. By lunchtime, a mechanic had fixed the problem, Peter was there to pick us up and we continued on with him without missing a beat. We can only imagine that our experience might have been a disaster – if we were the only vehicle from a tour company in the park that day. But due to the prevalence of Spirit of Kenya and their code “We leave no one behind” there was a team on hand to make it all right. Bonus, we got to know TWO great safari guides and enjoyed meeting up joint for de-briefs other evenings at subsequent resorts.
Peter was a very knowledgeable guide and found us EVERYTHING we wanted to see on our game list. He was flexible to fit in special requests we had and was resourceful to help accommodate some off the beaten path requests, like a custom fishing trip, stop at a Maasai school, a second trip to the Giraffe Centre in Nairobi to let us feed the giraffes (again), and a special dinner in Nairobi on our return.
Many, many thanks to Vanessa, Peter and Dennis!

Incredible experience. A must!
One of the best and most exciting experiences I’ve had the pleasure to embark on. Our guides were incredible, accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. They absolutely added value to the experience and made it a one of kind venture.
The cost was reasonable for such a unique experience. I would ABSOLUTELY do this again and again and highly recommend Key2Africa! You will not regret it!!!

Very personable and knowledgeable
Kuda greeted us with a warm welcome and a big smile. He spoke to us about the Fall’s history and interesting facts during our walking tour which made it very enjoyable. We highly recommend him and Safari Bookings for a fun informative tour that is definitely a good value for money spent!

Excellent safari with wonderful guides
The safari exceeded our expectations. We added Tsavo East and Silas accommodated the request quite easily.
Our guides, Julius and Isaiah were great.
I could not believe the amount of animals we saw and on occasion how close we could get to them.
All the accommodations were unique, comfortable and wonderful. Each place had great staff.
If we do an East African trip again, we’d go with Apodiform and Silas again. Speaking of Silas, he would return our communications usually within minutes. Answered all our questions and was just great to work with.
It was an adventure of a lifetime.

Unforgetable mind blowing experience
The Serengeti has always been on my bucket list! We booked a full circuit Safari and it was amazing. The properties are perfectly located and the drive from one lodge to the other was like being on a game drive and quite enjoyable. We saw so many animals. The landscapes between the lodges are all so different, not what I expected at all. The Ngorongo Crater was one of the many highlights on this trip. The vehicles were very comfortable and our guide extremely knowledgeable of the animals and surroundings. The accommodation was perfect and excellent value for money. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Each lodge had a great restaurant and bar where fellow travelers shared safari experiences. The highlight of our trip was seeing the migration, we didn't even have to look, they were right there at Africa Safari Ikoma! We were so blessed to witness all these animals together in one spot!! I would definitely recommend Paradise and Wilderness to all my friends! Best holiday ever!!! Unforgettable experience!!!

Amazing Experience with Amshar Serengeti Adventures
We had a 4 day safari visiting, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, it was perfect trip I never thought of. The first conversation we got from Edward and his customization of our itinerary made us feel secured, we are grateful for his passion and all the support he gave us before, during and after the trip, our guide Baraka was an amazing person for us as he is more knowledgeable and experienced about the animals and we got a chance to see all the big five. Thank you so much for the lifetime experience we had, see you next time

Incredible climbing experience (amazing guides, cooks & porters)
This was my first trip to Africa. I 've traveled with my brother on the Rongai route to Kilimanjaro. This is the top path)) There are constantly changing natural areas, very beautiful nature.
We had the best climbing team)) Man Man and William were our guides. They were very supportive on the road. Also they told us different stories about their life in Tanzania, about the mountain and nature.. I was amazed at the solidarity of the team (there 9 people went with us - cooks, porters)!
The guides really love their country. And they have been doing this for many years. If you want to get super emotions, meet amazing people - then go with these guides!

Exceeded our expectations
Our experience with Apodiformes Adventures exceeded our expectations on every level. Our experienced guide/driver, John, was incredible, top notch! We enjoyed learning from him, joking around, and sharing stories. Asante, Asante John! We spent 3 nights in the Maasai Mara at the Loyk Mara Luxury Camp and 1 night at Ziwa Bush Lodge- would highly recommend both, they were amazing. We booked with Fredrick and from the very beginning, communication and customer service was clear and timely. The Apodiformes team was committed to making sure our trip was perfect. We are finished with the 4 day safari and have begun the second part of our trip- 3 nights at Diani Sea Resort. All arranged by Apidoformes Adventures. Our trip has been incredible and I would highly recommend using this company for a Kenyan safari. If you’re lucky, John will be your guide/driver!
