5/5

This was our first safari and it won’t be our last! From the moment we contacted Spirit of Kenya Victor made us feel like we were in safe hands making sure we got the right safari choice for our needs.
When we arrived in Kenya and our Guide George picked us up to start our trip we knew our needs would be met. His knowledge for the area, animals and birds were incomprehensible. We can’t thank him enough for making our trip one we will hold in our hearts forever.
When we return we will be asking for George to guide us on our next adventure

The Best Family Trip We’ve Ever Had
5/5

My family had a wonderful experience with Spirit of Kenya. From the moment we arrived, everything was handled smoothly and professionally. Our guide, Thomas, was kind, knowledgeable, and always attentive to our needs. He taught us a lot about the animals, the landscape, and the local culture. Over the trip of five days, we were able to see all the animals we had hoped for. Since it wasn’t the high season, we could take our time and quietly observe the wildlife without crowds, which made the experience even more special.

Our 5 and 7 years old children had an amazing time — they were fully engaged throughout the journey. It was clear that this is a great age for kids to enjoy and appreciate a safari. Watching the sunrise together over the African plains as a family was truly unforgettable. It’s a memory we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

It was worth every penny — an experience we will never regret and always cherish. Without a doubt, this was the best family trip we’ve ever had!

Best service in the game even better value for money
5/5

This company was amazing and provided a truly one of a kind experience. We book our entire Safari with SOK that consisted in MasaiMara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We had a wonderful full day in Nairobi with our guide Moses. He was there to pick us up at the airport and on time the next morning for the tour. Very friendly and nice to be around with. He then took us to the airport for our internal flight to MasaiMara where Steven picked us up. Great guide with a lot of experience. We had a wonderful 3 day safari with him and could not have asked for more. He then took us to the border where we transfer to our new guide Enok. Also a great guide with a lot of knowledge. We finished our trip in Kilimanjaro to take our flight back home.

I 100% recommend this company and will travel with them again. The logistics were perfect and we did not have any hiccups or troubles whatsoever. Even the last day after a lot of African massages our guide didn’t want to take any risk with the car breaking down and he arranged a final transfer for us. Everything within schedule and with no impact on our journey.

We had an incredible time!!
5/5

This was our first ever safari (and first time in Africa), so we were really nervous. Our safari designer, Victor, was incredibly responsive and very helpful from the beginning to the end. We asked WAY too many questions, but he always answered promptly and clearly. We felt very assured by him along the way. We settled on an 8-day Safari, with a mid-range package which included a few days in Masai Mara, several days in the Serengeti, and a day in Ngorongoro Crater. It was PERFECT!

When it came to paying for the safari, we opted to try a wire transfer to avoid the credit card fee. We'd never wired money before, and our bank made this sound dangerous and sketchy. Even so, with clarity and assurance from Victor, we sent our down payment and it went through. He confirmed the funds arrived, and we breathed a sigh of relief. Not so scary after all!

Victor worked quickly to secure out stays, and though we were a little late to booking, he was able to find us wonderful places that fit our criteria. The one exception was our first location which did not have a room for our guide, Ben. He had to head elsewhere for a place to stay those nights.

When we arrived in Kenya, Ben (our Kenya driver) was waiting for us with a smile. He helped us with our bags, and we loaded up into the land cruiser. Off we went! Masai Mara was fantastic - so many elephants and lions. And our stay at Olengoti Eco Safari Camp was SO fun! We got to eat dinner by a river and watch hippos while we ate. So awesome! Ben may have been used to an older crowd that's ready t head back to camp by 3pm, but we definitely wanted to stay until close. Ben was flexible and agreed. We even got to see the Great Migration during our visit. I think this was July 19 & 20, 2024. The wildebeest had just started crossing the Mara! Ben's strength was in parking in really good spots for optimal viewing. We ALWAYS saw the animals really well!

After Kenya, we headed to the Kenya/Tanzania border at Isebania, where we parked, went into a building to pass through customs, then said goodbye to Ben and hello to Abraham. It's a long ride, but neat to see the local villages along the way. These countries are beautiful.

The Serengeti is a dream. It's all the Lion King vibes, and SO many great animals. We saw the big 5, but the rhino we saw in Ngorongoro was sooooo far away that we almost didn't think it counted (We saw one up close later in Nairobi National Park because we loved this safari so much, we had to add an extra little one before we headed home!). Abraham knew SO many things about the animals and area, so we went like we learned a TON from him. He was excellent! Definitely request Abraham, if you can!

We stayed at Kati-Kati Camps in the Serengeti, and at Kuhama Camp in Ngorongoro Crater. Both were great! After our 8 days were up, Abraham drove us to the Arusha airport where we said goodbye and headed out to our next adventure.

Every day on Safari is unique - some you see more animals, some less. its all part of the experience. Trust your guide, learn lots, listen well, respect the animals and the people, you'll have an awesome time! This was a dream trip come true! Cheers to Spirit of Kenya for making this a fantastic experience - we can't say enough good things about the whole thing. Booking with Spirit of Kenya feels like booking an all-inclusive. You get the driver/guide, land cruiser, lodging, food - everything you need is completely taken care of. You just need to show up with a nice camera, extra batteries, and a scarf for those dusty days. Get ready to have the time of your life!

5/5

From the minute our guide Sammy picked us up from Nairobi, we were flooded with a wealth of information about the flora & fauna, topography, general population and culture of Kenya. It was amazing to know! He was an absolutely terrific guide and we'd recommend him to anyone headed to Kenya! We fell in love with Maasai Mara, and spotted the Big 4 all within the first few hours of being there. Incredible! Our Maasai Mara accomodation Elewana Sand River lodge, arranged by the company, was surreal to say the least, with great food, attention to detail and overall 10/10 vibe & location. We couldn't have been happier here.

Moving on to Serengeti, our guide Hassaan was very warm, super friendly and very knowledgeable! Serengeti was a dream come true with its vast savannah plains and zebra+wildebeest herds. Again, our luxurious stay at the Elewana Explorer, arranged by the company, left us speechless. Fantastic service, great accommodation, stunning views, and delicious food. We could not have asked for more!

Ngorongoro Crater, our third & final stop, was where we spotted our 5th animal through Hassan's experienced spotting, the Rhinoceros, not once, but thrice! We were thrilled!

We thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip, especially having everything so perfectly planned out for us, allowing us to simply enjoy this adventure. We will be recommending Spirit of Kenya to all our family & friends.
