Brilliant Company - Trip of a Lifetime
Spirit of Kenya pulled together an amazing trip for us to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara. Victor was our personal journey designer and he was fantastic. Responses were quick and everything was planned perfectly. Victor provided great advice and organised everything including our balloon flight and trips to animal sanctuaries in Nairobi on our final day. Our guide and driver Shuma was excellent and we had the most amazing time. Our accommodation was great and we particularly enjoyed our stay at The Cliff in Lake Nakuru. We learnt so much about the animals and saw so many mammals and birds. Spirit of Kenya organised everything perfectly and delivered us the holiday of a lifetime. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Wonderful 8 days in Kenya and Tanzania
This was truly a trip of a life-time and one of the best experiences we have ever had.
We had excellent guides, Rufus and Gabriel. They both were knowledgeable, friendly, engaged in what they were doing, and patient. They both knew where to look for animals and find the best angles for photography. We appreciated that they communicated with other drivers in order to improve our experience by finding as many animals as possible.
Our accommodations were all excellent and the personnel at each went out of their way to make our stay at each agreeable. The meals were very good, the rooms were very clean and well-appointed.
Communication with our travel advisor, Vanessa, was always positive. She provided quick feedback and useful suggestions. We could not have had such a great trip without her help. She also organized excellent service to get us to and from the airport and our hotels; this was greatly appreciated.

A trip we will never forget!
We just came back from the best trip of our lives. It was our first time to Kenya and from the very beginning Vanessa helped us over several months to tailor our trip and create an unforgettable experience. She was always kind, friendly and very helpful.
The highlight of our trip was not just breathtaking nature, sceneries, animals, but our guide Sammy, a true gem. He was not just our guide, but we can easily say he was the most incredible human being we’ve ever met. He was always smiling with positive attitude, had incredible knowledge he was eager to share, cared genuinely about doing everything in his power to ensure we had the best experience - and oh boy we did. His love and passion for the animals was contagious!
Thank you Spirit of Kenya for creating this unique experience for us and thank you Sammy for making us fall in love with your country.
Asante sana rafiki.

INCREDIBLE!!
Please feel completely confident in the leadership and direction of Filipa M., Personal Journey Designer at Spirit of Kenya. I presented many challenges to her regarding changes in dates and experiences, including a medical emergency whereby I needed to reschedule everything AGAIN. Filipa was always, kind, thorough, patient, encouraging, caring and completely efficient with it all. Every last detail was designed with precision! I highly recommend Filipa and Spirit of Kenya for your safari planning!!

An amazing African experience!!! ;)
They organized a great safari for us!! With pick up at the airport, 2 days in Amboseli NP, 1 day in Lake Naivasha, 1 day in Lake Nakuru, 2 days in Masai Mara and they left us in Isibania, the border with Tanzania to continue our safari . Spirit of kenya always answered us very quickly and adjusted to all our needs, our plans and exceeded our expectations. Our guide Mike M, is a great human being, with too much knowledge, respect and love for animals. Full days of sharing his experiences and he managed to get us to see the big 5 in just 3 days. Using all his knowledge he knew where to look, where to wait to be able to have the best moment close to the animals. At a time where we were seeing a lion, another car arrived with other people and Mike with his big heart told us, sharing is caring and he moved his car, so that other people could have and live the same experience as us, which we found impressive and super kind and knew that he is a super guide , who we recommend 100%.
Thank you Mike M, for making us live such a majestic experience. Thank you Spirit of Kenya ;)

Beyond Expectations
We had an incredible 5 day Safari, with our kids (11 and13). Thomas was our driver and we couldn't have asked for more. He was a wealth of information, and had an amazing ability to spot animals even while navigating some very challenging terrain. Thomas knew the parks inside and out, be it animals, birds, plants and culture, he knew it all. Our expectations were exceeded. Spirit of Kenya was excellent in helping us plan it out, and I would recommend Thomas to anybody who is looking for an amazing experience!

Fantastic Experience!
My husband and I chose Spirit of Kenya for our first safari as my Goddaughter had used them for her honeymoon trip and was very happy with them. We are quite thankful for her recommendation as we had a great trip!
Our driver/guide, Michael, was excellent. He picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi and was with us for the week as we visited Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and Maasai Mara. He is an excellent guide and did his best to find the Big 5! We really enjoyed our conversations with him and learned so much about Kenya, the different parks, the animals and anything else we wanted to know.
Spirit of Kenya offered us lodging options at each of our locations and we were pleased with our choices. You can go from "budget/standard" to "luxury/premium" at each place; we chose the premium options which were all fantastic.
Vanessa was extremely helpful in the planning of our trip. We actually booked the trip just a month before leaving and it all went very smoothly thanks to her prompt replies to my many questions. The weather was great other than an hour of rain at the Lake and then on the last day in Maasai Mara, so we were quite happy with going in April.
I highly recommend Spirit of Kenya - you won't be disappointed!

Very responsible and reliable company, communicates quickly
We had a 5-day safari. Everything was arranged perfectly. Especially a big thank you to Philippa, who was responsible and super fast communicating. I recommend this company as no one choice by price-quality ratio

Excellent service
We travelled in two family groups to Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru. The booking process had been handled very professionally, with very quick response times. Our two drivers/guides, Charles and George, could not have done more to make our safari trip as complete and memorable as possible. Using their expertise, we were fortunate to see the "Big 5" twice over, and cant think of a single animal we missed. Their expertise also extended to birdlife - something several of us were particularly interested in - and between us we accumulated a bird list of over 100 species covering a wide range of habitats. The accommodation in tented camps was comfortable and clean (very much needed after long days in the vehicles), and although we were very close up to nature, the security provided at each camp was completely reassuring. All in all we had a fantastic safari experience.
