Great safari, great company, great staff!!!
Had the pleasure of booking with Spirit of Kenya in October, 2024. I cannot recommend them more highly. From Misk in the office to Samuel our personal guide everything was perfect. Misk answered any and all questions before, during and after our safari. He was a pleasure to deal with and always replied quickly. Our guide, Samuel, was truly amazing!! His knowledge base was incredible, and his patience unending, as we asked many questions from flora/fauna to culture, religion and politics. We had so much fun with him. One could tell he truly enjoys his job, as he seemed as excited as we were with all the sightings. This was my 4th safari (hopefully not my last), and first private one - and this ranks at the top. No one could go wrong booking with Spirit of Kenya!

Exceptional memories
I had an amazing tour of Masai Mara/Serengeti/Ngorongoro with Spirit of Kenya/Soul of Tanzania. Their experienced guides Charles/Dennis knew exactly where to find all the animals. I even got close-up photos of two lions in the act. How lucky was that!

Highly Recommend SoK, Especially Our Guide Lenny!
My wife and I traveled to Kenya for our honeymoon in October and organized a safari to Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara with Spirit of Kenya. The company was incredibly communicative and planned everything we asked for perfectly. On arrival, we were paired with our guide Lenny, who turned out to be the best guide we could have possibly asked for. Lenny expertly navigated tough roads, spotted tons and tons of animals, and used his deep knowledge of animal behavior and Masai culture to give us incredibly deep insight into all of Kenya's animals and Kenyan life and culture. We saw all of the Big Five and so so much more. We joked throughout the safari that any time Lenny picked up his binoculars to get a better view of something that we ourselves would have never noticed in the distance, we were about to see something great. By the end, Lenny wasn't just our expert guide but was also a great friend. We'd recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone traveling to Kenya for a safari and we especially highly recommend our incredible guide Lenny.

Magical
An incredible experience. Blown away by the quantity and diversity of animals we encountered and especially how close we were able to get, whilst always respecting the rules (which not all drivers do!).
Dominic the guide and driver was exceptional. Drives between locations was long and the 'roads' are often appalling. If we were to do it again we would have picked the Landcruiser for this reason. Didn't affect our enjoyment of the safari itself, but Landcruiser would have been quicker and easier to pick its way through the roads. Dom deserved a driving award for how he got the minivan along some of those roads!

An amazing and unforgettable adventure with Spirit of Kenya!
We had the trip of a lifetime arranged by Spirit of Kenya! From the first contact with Jorge through to the exceptionally great guide, Joseph, his knowledge of the wildlife and the country was impressive, and his enthusiasm was contagious. We saw an unbelievable number of animals up close and personal, making this the trip of a lifetime. The game drives were INCREDIBLE! We saw everything! The "Big 5" many times over as well as lots of other interesting animals I never knew existed. I won't reveal all Joseph's techniques but, I am telling you, they guy is a legend! He had some very smart ways to ensure we were always in on the action.
This was truly a trip of a life-time and one of the best experiences we have ever had. If you're planning a trip to Kenya, look no further than Spirit of Kenya. They will make your dream safari a reality.

In one word: Amazing!
Spirit of Kenya promised a lot in advance and made all promises reality.
Victor took a lot of time to inform us about all the possibilities and options. That made we ended up with a safari plan that fitted us in a great way.
We visited Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara. And we saw it all! Big five - a couple of times - and all the other animals you can think of when thinking about a safari in Africa. We enjoyed it so much. The lodges we selected were also meeting our expectations. Especially Kibo safari Camp in Amboseli was lovely. But also Olengoti safari camp in the Masai Mara was a great experience.
The driver/guide we had was mister George. A very professional man with good sence of humour but also a very wide knowledge of the parks we visited and animals we met. A big compliment to him.
Any wat, if you plan a safari in Kenya get in touch with Spirit of Kenya. You ll not regret. They take care of all from the fieat to the last minute. Amazing!

Safari Dreams Realized with Spirit of Kenya
From the first inquiry to the final goodbye, every interaction with Spirit of Kenya was top notch. Misk was our point of contact, and he provided us with up to the minute information about our trip itinerary, and made sure every question we had was answered quickly and thoroughly. He was always easy to reach, which we found extremely reassuring. Our guide, Samuel, was simply the best. He is extremely knowledgable (as well as being a skilled driver), and was as enthusiastic as we were about all the animal sightings we encountered (of which there were many!). This was a bucket list trip for me, and honestly it exceeded all my expectations. Thank you Misk and Samuel for making my first trip to Africa so memorable.

Excellent safari
My wife and I went on our first safari and booked through Spirit of Kenya based on positive online reviews. Spirit of Kenya organised every aspect of our trip including our accommodation before the safari and a once in a lifetime hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara. We spent 2 days in the Masai Mara, 1 day in Lake Nakuru and 1 day at Lake Naivasha before finishing the trip at Hells Gate national park. Lenny, our guide, was excellent. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, answered all our questions, and his passion really shone through. Thanks to Lenny we saw all of the big 5 and many other interesting animals, and our first safari beat all expectations.

Kenya specialists and it shows
It has been a wonderful experience touring Kenya with Spirit of Kenya, you can tell that they are specialists in it, they have adapted to our needs and have made a tailor-made tour.
Our guide, Mike is totally recommendable, he has taken care of us and guided us very well, we have felt like his family.
I would definitely recommend this agency for tours in Kenya, we even did an extension to the coast and it was equally satisfactory, special mention to Kevin, our driver in Diani Beach.
