Excelent Service!
The trip was amazing! We loved seeing the animals in their habitat. The camps are beautiful, complete and with very friendly staff. they are as seen in the photos.
Pita, the driver, and Oska the spanish guide were very friendly. They did everything possible so that we could see all the animals and take the best photos.
And Filipa was excelent in the organization one year ago by email.
We are very happy with this adventure and very grateful. We sincerely recommend Spirit of Kenya.

Amazing Safari expience with great guide and group
I had a truly great experience with Sunnycreek. Our guide Kikitu was a lot of fun, he gave us useful information during the safari and was determined to show us what we came for. We saw all kinds of animals and even did a little bush walk to see hippos.
Regarding accomodation, the tents were super clean, the food delicious and the staff really nice. I'd always do another safari with Sunnycreek!

Outstanding
I have run out of superlatives trying to describe my stay at Bongani lodge. I was greeted with such a warm welcome, and the positivity extended towards the care and consideration in all activities planned. Bongani, his crew and family should all be extremely proud of the service they offer and I would highly recommend this experience to anybody who is interested in a great safari experience

Great Tour
We did a one day trip to Tarangire national park and had a great time. The guide kept us entertained and was knowledgeable on all animals that we came across. The truck was well equipped with as much water, soft drinks and beers as we wanted. The lunch was very enjoyable and there was more than enough to go around. Would recommend.

Uganda Nature and wildlife tour
We did our second tour in Uganda with Matoke Tours.
We had 10 days with our guide John from Matoke tours and it was a fantastic experience.
John was as always a rock to hang on to during these trips, he has extremely good knowledege and are a great driver.
The guides in the parks and nature walks was verry serviceminded and full of knowledge.
We especially think about Moses and his guiding in Sipi Falls and the coffey plantation as a great experience but also all rangers in the different parks we meet during our tour.
Remember that the hike around Sipi falls can be quit hard depend on weather, if it rains the track will be verry slippery and hard to use.
The lodges was according to our expectations but we would like to see some alternative to the 3 cource menu at dinner time for example some more lighter food.
During the drive around the country we recommend that you have a neck pillow due to the bad roads and a thermos with cold water. A flashlight on the evenings is also a great feature to bring.
As always Matoke tours delivered a great planned trip and the communication with Pleunie was great from start to finish during our planning.
We recommend Matoke tours when planning a Uganda trip.

Had to report to police. Buyer beware.
To cut a long story short, the driver, who was subcontracted by Mousebird Safaris Mr. Lema, one night of 4 took us to the wrong hotel upon instructions of Mousebird Safaris. He was then not able to take us to the correct hotel (Ascertained after he called his boss) due to the park closing and him not wanting to as it was 1.5 hours away and he "would not have taken this job on had he known this before" (quote from driver.) Upshot was that we had to pay 350 USD on TOP of what we had already paid because the driver would/could not take us to the hotel Mousebird had booked. We called the owner at Mousebird several times and he did not pick up. All my messages were, funnily enough, ignored.
After this, I had wanted Mousebird to settle this directly with the driver who had paid the new (and horrible) hotel, but the driver strongarmed us to his office and forced us to pay his boss for this 350 Dollar hotel he had taken us to in error. Mousebird Safaris Mr. Lema is refusing to pay us back. We have reported it to the police and a case against Mousebird Safari is ongoing.
Mousebird basically contracts their services to a driver who is working for several agencies so you constantly have to wait until others have been picked up from other agencies. Our driver from a firm called Avocet Safaris Tanzania, was picking up several people and messed up this trip entirely. The whole thing was an organisational mess.
I would never ever recommend Mousebird Safaris as I believe that they are not honest. We will see Mr. Lema from Mousebird Safaris in court.

Best Safari Experience
We booked our Safari through Spirit of Kenya, which brought us through Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti as well as the ngorongoro crater. The experience we had was one of a kind and we enjoyed every second of the trip. Everything, from our drivers, the hotels, and the tour went phenomenal well and we definitely would us Spirit of Kenya again.
Special thanks to Victor who went far and beyond in putting together a breathtaking tour. In preparing the itinerary, Victor provided excellent guidance and recommended the best option for our trip. Hands down amazing experience and even better service.

Ivan is very friendly, reliable and correct!
We are two German bicyclists and have been traveling for ten months. Looking for a way to visit the gorillas we got Ivan’s contact. Everything went perfect. Very friendly, reliable and correct. We enjoyed some days in the Motel Santaviva, which we consider a great mix of African guest house and western style hostel. The same with Ivan. He is an authentic African, who knows very well what western tourists like and need. He needs at least two days to get gorilla permits, if available. But he offers way more than gorilla tracking, for example coffee experiences, nature walks, biking, Vulcano hikes and so on. No problem to spend a couple of days in Kisoro. Highly recommended!!!
