Amazing experience that everyone needs to do.
My safari experience in Kenya was above and beyond my expectations! The company we booked it with, Spirit of Kenya based in Nairobi, delivered exactly what they promised and more. Our guide and driver George was friendly, informative and generous and extremely helpful. He helped make this the best holiday experience we have ever had. I never realised there were so many animals in Africa. We saw everything possible except a leopard. Best experience when a herd of elephants came to our hotel within touching distance! Staff and local people and also people from the tribes were so friendly. Would fully recommend or indeed insist that everyone goes on Safari in Kenya!
A paradise for wildlife
Wanderful stay. We visited Samburu, Baringo Lake, Bogoria lake and Nakuru lake during the first week : very interesting nature reserves, easy to visit with your own car.
Then we had a 3 days safari in Maasai Mara reserve, where we could see all kinds of wild animal, and even cheetas !
Only one disppontment : Lamu, which is in a very bad condition and dirty, despite it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Have a great trip to Kenya !
Everything worked out as described/promised.
Everything as advertised/promised including transportation and accommodation.

Wonderful to see the animals in the Garden of Eden, a true paradise on earth.
My son and I spent three nights at Basecamp Mara. Our well equipped tent stood alongside the river and from our deck we could see and hear the animals across the river which was often forded by the baboon troupe who lived in the tree opposite. The campsite was about a ten minute drive away from the entrance to the Mara and was very well laid out with paths through the many trees surrounding the tents. The dining area was lit by candles only in the evening, the food good and the staff very attentive. Nearby was the fire pit and seating area where we could socialise with other guests and sample the local culture as we were entertained by the Masai singing and dancing. We were escorted around the camp site after dark by a Masai carrying a torch and spear!
Our driver/guide collected us from Nairobi and was with us for the four days of our trip before taking us back to the airport. George was an extremely good, careful driver who was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic and good company. He planned our game drives in the Mara well and we enjoyed a 'bush breakfast' and on another day a picnic lunch watching a group of cheetahs. The wildlife was plentiful we saw herds of elephants, giraffe, buffalow, wildebeasts, hippos, and at least a thousand migrating zebra who were making the way back to the Mara River and Serengeti. The big cats were much in evidence and we saw many lion and cheetahs plus hyenas. It was wonderful to be so close to the wild life who were unconcerned by the many people gazing at them.
We chose Spirit of Kenya because we were impressed by the clear and organised way they presented their initial quote. The office staff were very helpful and arranged a wonderful tailormade safari for us and absolutely everything went beautifully.

The accomodation was superb, the animals amazing and the scenery was breathtaking
An overall wonderful experience in Kenya. It exceeded all my expectations. The people are beautiful, so warm and friendly. Our accomodation was fabulous and some with breathtaking views. So wonderful to watch the elephants while you eat your breakfast. Weather was mostly great. Hot sunny days and cool nights.. The animals were incredible and we saw them in the masses. The food was excellent and in abundance. Wonderful to drive along the highways and see how the people live albeit some very bumpy roads.
Kenya gets under your skin... I loved it!!!

Excellent outing. Saw all the wildlife that we hoped for, and more. Great accommodations.
Wildlife was great. Parks were open and you definitely had the feel that you were seeing the animals in their environment. Weather was great. Lows in the 50's, highs in the 70's. No rain. Driver / guide was outstanding. Road to Masai Mara was terrible, but new road is under construction. All of our accommodations were excellent.

Great Safari in Kenya with Back of Africa Adventure
I would recommend Back of Africa Adventure without any hesitation. Good and fast communication from the first email. For the Safari we used a minivan only for us (2 persons) and the acomodations were ok. The guide Simon was great and help us in any possible way.
