Good communication, you Will get what you have booked for.
We appreciated the good communication. Immediate and clear response to all questions. Very helpful. Upon booking you Will receive a clear documentation file with details. So you Know what you can expect (what is in, what is out).
The travel agency collaborates with other small agencies, so in practice (for a budget safari), People of different agencies van be joined in one minivan. But in principle that should not be a problem as they all offer the same program... However, it may be the case that other travel agencies do not provide clear info on the details... And in case that these travellers are quite demanding, this may cause some problem. In that case, it is up to the driver to solve the problem...
Our driver/guide, Ken, did An excellent job trying to fullfill the demands of the persons from different agencies (which was not that easy...), But he managed!
We had a wonderful safari and we were Lucky to see the big five (quite some Lions!), the river crossing,.... The whole package! He did all the efforts to give us the best experience! Thank you Ken! Me and my family enjoyed it very much!
One last word on the program. We booked the 3-day safari, meaning one evening drive, one full day drive, morning drive before return to Nairobi.
Forget about the morning drive... Opt for the extended full day drive (6am-6pm), so you Will have more chance to get to the Mara river to see the crossing and all the other things. The morning drive is less of interest as you can not drive far into the park (that part you have been already, and the best you Will only see further away). The 3th day you can visit the Masai village instead. In principle you need to discuss/agree with your fellow travellers, And it costs extra... It is advisable to negotiate upfront.
In short: we recommend this Company, we recommend Our guide Ken!

Extremely Accommodating and flexible with good team of excellent employees
Extremely Accommodating and flexible with good team of excellent employees.
David - our tour guide who was our driver for the whole trip was very very helpful, knowledgeable and made sure every single opportunity to see if and any and all wildlife. He made our whole Kenya experience the very best. We all loved Kenya and the safari.
Our overall experience with Silver Spark Safari was extremely good. The reason for giving 4 stars is -
out of our whole trip of 10 days - 3 accomodations were extremely good (Samburu- Nakuru and Kibo(Amboselli). These made our experience unforgettable.
but 4 accomodations were really bad (the 1st night hotel in Nairobi, Milili Hotel- Maverick Camp in Aberdare- Lake Naivasha and the last camp at Amboselli).
We had to pay extra out of pocket to get another accomodations from Aberdare and move to Lake Nakuru.
Would highly recommend even if the ratings say good but please please check them more in depth).
If we keep the accomodations aside, Silver Sparks on the whole, Abongo our main point of contact from beginning to the end and on top of everything David made our Kenya safari the best.
Highly highly highly recommend this company.
Thank you Silver Sparks for everything for making us our family unforgettable memories of the lifetime.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Perfect experience
It was the first time we have done a safari, and if we did it again it would be with Suricata. Both the cooks (Mousa and Salim) and the guide (Lewise) have always been very attentive. The food was great every day with a wide variety of foods and the guide has managed to take us to see the big 5 and others animals. Asante Sana!!

Amazing tour
I had an amazing experience with Suricata on a four days safari. We saw the big five after only two days and had a very skilled guide. Suricata were quick in the communication and serviceminded. They arranged good lodges and good food. I highly recommend Suricata.

Fantastic safari!!!
A totally fantastic safari!!! The guide/driver, Lewise, was completely amazing!!! A huge knowledge of Tanzania and the animals! Big 5 in a single day and many, many more! Does Lewise know every animal personally?? We saw every animal we had hoped to see and learned lots about them too! Also, amazing food by Musa! Much better than at home! Fantastic hot lunches every day, and every day different! I very highly recommend Suricata. Everything perfectly organised, from airport pickup to all accommodation. Everyone so friendly and welcoming at every point. And excellent English! I would book with Suricata again with no hesitation!

We all had an amazing moment. The safari is amazing. It isn’t that expensive for a safari which was incredible. The hotel was also very nice and the people as well. Thank you very much!

Family celebration in the bush with Wandering Thru
Wow! What a celebration! Our recent trip to Chitwa Chitwa with Wandering Thru was an unforgettable experience. Marking a special family occasion, the team went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time in the bush. With Tristan as our private guide, we set out on each drive with high hopes and expectations. We were not disappointed! Whether it was sitting enjoying dwarf mongooses basking in the sun, green pigeons catching the morning light, sleepy leopards in trees, buffalos, ellies, so many hyenas or wild dogs charging through the bush, each drive had its own highlights. The sights and sounds of the bush came alive as Tristan generously shared his knowledge and experience with us. How awesome to see deeper or newfound appreciation of the bush develop amongst us. Back at the lodge we shared great hospitality, with special extras arranged to mark our celebration. Not forgetting all the laughs, chatting about leopards, conservation, photography tips and more. Thanks for making this occasion so memorable, and for making it possible for us to celebrate together in this wonderful location.
