Awesome customised 2 days safari to Lake Nakuru and Lake Navaisha
Really nice experience - strongly recommended for 2 day trip from Nairobi! You will enjoy lakes and the scenery different from other National parks.

Fantastic safari in Kenya with this company
I went on a 12-day customized safari in Kenya and Tanzania, and my safari was co-organized by The Spirit of Kenya.
The tour was organized very well, the plan was clear, and I even received a small water bottle as a nice welcome gift from them.
My guides were Thomas and Michael, and I think they did an amazing job. Both of them were very well prepared, very knowledgeable about the animals and Africa in general, and were able to fulfill all my requests and wishes.
I can certainly recommend this company as well as Thomas and Michael to everyone!

Amazing trip to Kenya and Tanzania
Our experience with Spirit of Kenya was truly amazing. Not only we saw all of the Big Five and had stunning animal encounters but also the accommodations, guides and the whole organization was fantastic. Everything worked so well, from being picked up at the airport until the last day when we had still some time in Nairobi and were able to go to some museums. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming and our guides (George, Enoc and Samuel) had a huge knowledge. It is hard to say what we liked best. It was not only the wildlife but also the driving from one national parc to the other as we were able to see how people live in the villages and towns. Also our camps were fantastic - listening to hyenas, lions and other animals from our beds was memorable - and as there were only few other guests (thanks to coming before the high season) we got to talk to the staff and learned a lot about Kenya and Tanzania and the way they live.
A big thank you also especially to Vanessa, out tour organizer, not only for organizing the trip so well but also her respond time always was very impressive!

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.
