A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with the best tour guide
I'm currently in South Africa and at the Kruger National Park for the first time. That one was the most fun I've ever had! I believe our tour guide Simon Taylor played a significant role in that. The most important quality about him is his desire for supporting us even in small ways after tour hours. He is a decent, polite, and professional individual. He always made an effort to make sure we were comfortable so that we could all have a great time together.

Desmond was an amazing guide! He made it a great experience.
This was a great experience! We were picked up from our hotel and it took about 3 hours to get to the park. We toured the park for 3 hours, had an hour lunch break and toured for another 2 hours. All together the experience was 12 hours. It was a great experience that I highly recommend to everyone! We saw tons of animals and only missed the big cats. We’re knew where some were and tried to see them, but due to the heat and tall grass we couldn’t see them from the distance we were. Amazing experiences with the elephants and zebras. We also saw crocodiles, giraffes, hippos, impalas, rhinos, wildebeests, and many birds. Desmond was amazing and tried very hard to get us close to each breed we came across. Don’t hesitate to book this trip!
Beyond all expectations, 100%
Thoughtful, compassionate guides attentive to all your wants & needs are local, very experienced, and know all the tricks to make your safari The Best ever. I'm eager to re-book.

A perfect tour.
When we got to zanzibar there was a driver waiting for us out of the airport. We saw a lot of animals during the safari tour. The meals were not very good.

Exceptional Safari
The safari that my wife and I went on for nine days was exceptional. The accommodation was excellent, and I am happy to thank our fantastic guide, Charles, who made the trip. His knowledge of wildlife is extraordinary; he was informative, patient, intuitive, caring, and an excellent driver. From start to finish, the organisation was first-class and exceeded our expectations.

Happy & adventurous days with Francis!
Francis is such an amazing guide. He welcomed us with his big smiles and he made the safari a real adventure thanks to his deep passion for animals and the landscape. Moreover, he's a great driver, which is really important in more challenging roads such as at Masai Mara.
Thanks Francis for this fantastic experience!

Professional and caring company made our Safari just perfect!
I started planning our family (3 girls in the ages of 24, 19, 15) travel more than 2 months before the trip. Joseph, our travel agent from Morning Star provided all the information I needed (through numerous iterations) to create the right Safari trip for us. Joseph responded at any time to every question and tried to say Yes on almost every request. Our start was challenging when we realized at the airport we need a Visa before our flight. Joseph was amazingly helpful to get our (late) applications (took forever on the government website) approved in less than an hour. Since we missed our flight, and took only few hours later, Joseph arranged an hotel for us on our arrival (near the airport so we can sleep properly) and a driver to pick us up. He even came by himself to welcome us at the airport and make sure everything goes smoothly.
The Safari itself was amazing, all the 4 reserves Joseph recommended were perfect (Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and of course Maasai Mara). Our driver, James, was so friendly that we became friends. He is also a professional and identifed every animal and even every bird we saw (verified on the book :). He attended all our needs and all our requests for games drives and stops. When we had a delay and afraid to miss our lunch in Sofa Lodge Nakuru, Joseph again proved resourceful and arranged an alternative lunch in the sister lodge in Naivasha. He even made all the arrangements required to get us on time for our flight to Zanzibar after an early breakfast before we left the lodge. Joseph kept checking if we need anything and was there to resolve even minor issues.
This was one of the best trip our family had and we know we will return back to Kenya. Joseph, from Morning Star will get our first call!

Martin is prompt and efficient; a pleasure to work with.
My partner and I have taken many safaris in East Africa but this was our first time to Botswana and we loved the country and our safari. Sleeping in the tents on the mobile safari was thrilling with the sounds of hippos and lions at night. The food was varied and excellent. We seemed famished after a morning of photography and fell on the skewers of beef and potato salad like hungry leopards. Everything on the tour was well organized. This was our first mobile safari trip and we were astounded at the value and high level of guiding. Pilot, Kingfisher’s chief guide really throws his heart into searching out unusual wildlife sightings. He knows the landscape of the Okavango Delta intimately.

Going above and beyond to make your dream come tru
This trip had been our childhood dream and Nature In Spirit went above and beyond to make it exceed even our wildest dreams in terms of quality and how much we were able to see.
All locations that Nature In Spirit assisted us in choosing, such as visiting North and Central Serengeti, as well as where we stayed, were all amazing. The food, the rooms, the service, the game drives, our guide, the snacks in the car, everything was just perfect. Can't even imagine something to improve.
Nature In Spirit didn't just help in the trip planning, but also throughout the trip they were always making sure that all was going great. The attention to detail, such as giving us sim cards for us to have a way to make calls and have internet without the need for wifi or letting us borrow binoculars, was all just awesome. Will definitely recommend to everyone who asks me about my trip to make sure to use Nature In Spirit when visiting Africa.
