We had an incredible time!!
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!

Great tour company, delivers all that they claim to, swift communication and great customer service!
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.
Amazing from start to finish!
We had an amazing 7 day safari organised and run by Spirit of Kenya to Masi Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli National Park.
Filipa helped us arrange our custom safari to our exact needs, she was incredibly patience and helpful in arranging our itinerary and helped with some great lodge selections which were all different but excellent. These were
PrideInn Mara (Savannah tent)
Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge
Great Rift Valley Lodge & Golf Resort
Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge
We were picked up from the airport and all food and accommodation for the 6 nights was inclusive. The Toyota Landcruiser was super spacious and comfortable with enough space for all six of us and our luggage.
Sogo was the best guide and driver who took great care of us, was super accommodating & ensured each game drive was action-packed with new things to see! We did early morning drives, full days and evening drives. We also did a great boat trip as well!
An amazing safari overall with a great company, it was so easy to book direct and we save a significant over booking in the UK.

Trip of a lifetime
I just wanted to share our experience from our recent trip.
From the moment we landed everything was so smooth and effortless. All your recommendations were perfect for our first Safari. Yes there were some accommodations better than others and some stays need a little work on menu options but overall we were very satisfied.
Where I would like to really like to commend your company is the guides. In Kenya we had Nester. He went above and beyond with his knowledge, ability to find the Big 5 day one, and general personality. He is a true gem to your organization and wanted to let you know how much we appreciated Nester’s professionalism and expert skills. He made our trip 5
Star all the way!!
Our guide in Tanzania was Haibdo and we were very pleased with his professionalism as well. He showed us great wildlife and a little of life in his home town which was very insightful as to the daily life in Tanzania. He too was an excellent guide.
Our last and 3rd guide Shuma, we had for a shorter time and was a wealth of information on the animals, and struggles with drought. It was nice to end our 11 days with so much detailed information.
Thank you again for your planning, answering constant emails and fine tuning our prefect trip.

Excellent: A fantastic experience without any problems
Excellent experience. We built with the help of Vanessa the safari of our dreams between Kenya and Tanzania. The trip was perfect. We returned home happy and with a smile for the beautiful experience lived. We recommend this agency to everyone.
