Safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania
I am currently working in Ethiopia and decided to do a tour covering Kenya and Tanzania in about 2 weeks. I booked with Soul of Tanzania which organized the Tanzanian leg of the tour and outsourced the Kenyan part to Spirit of kenya. All the logistics were great and no obstacles appeared.In Tanzania we had land cruisers while in Kenya we had Toyota minivans. Comfort is very similar but the landcruisers are worth the extra bucks. Both vehicles were reliable and very clean.
Both guides were amazing but my favourite was Spirit of Kenya guide. His name was Robert. It was amazing how he could spot animals camafulaged far away while concentrating on his driving. The Tanzanian guide was James and he was very professional and corteous.
Overall amazing experience and would definitely recommend!

Best safari trip/ Service minded staff!
I have to say that Tiago was the reason why I chose to go with this company. Over 78 emails that we have exchanged, she was always prompted, flexible and detailed in her responses. I knew that this would be the company who cares about the guests.
And Simon, our driver and guide, didn't disappoint us! He is very knowledgeable about animals and the parks and made us feel safe with his driving skills the whole time we were on the road. He went above and beyond for us (we spotted 4 of the big 5 and it was our last day in the park and he decided to stay past his working hours to find a rhino for us!) He knows the park very well - we saw herds of wildebeests crossing the river in their migration 2 times in 1 day, which was amazing! Big thank you shout out to Simon!
Highly recommend this company! The whole staff team has service mind and knows how to be flexible to satisfy the guests! Next time I go back to Kenya, there's no doubt that I will use Spirit of Kenya again!

Exceeded our expectations
The entire staff of Spirit of Kenya contributed to making our 10 day safari a great trip. From recommendations on accomodations to solving international wire issues down to providing beanbags for telephoto lenses - the staff responded quickly.
But the most important part of the safari in my opinion is your guide. He is the one that will make or break your trip.
John was just an awesome guide. His knowledge of the animals and his uncanny ability to predict their movements even before they knew themselves was amazing.
John made sure we not only saw just about every animal there was to see, but were close enough to get some fantastic pictures making this amateur photographer feel like a professional.
His sense of humor and infectious laugh made the long bumpy drives fly by.
It is a trip we will never forget.
We would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya.

Great Trip with an excellent Tour Operator
We booked our 15 nights safari for total of five of us including my four year grand daughter with Spirit of Kenya. Vanessa was fantastic from the start. All derails were taken care of properly. Our guide Sidney was knowledgeable in all aspect of wild life. We were able to ALL BIG Five. It was an amazing trip. Will surely consider them when we plan our next Kenya - Tanzania safari.
Brilliant from start to finish
Our experience with Spirit of Kenya has been fantastic. Right from the beginning of the booking process they were very helpful, patient and fast at replying. This made the booking easy and stress free as they were always happy to answer any questions we had quickly. We felt very at ease knowing that any questions we had were always answered within a few hours (sometimes even minutes)! The attitude of all of the staff I spoke to was very friendly and accommodating. We had no communication issues as they all speak really good English. Our guide, Charles, was brilliant. He was very friendly, chatty and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure getting to know him! He made sure we saw all of the animals we could've wished to see and made our safari very memorable and enjoyable. His timings were always excellent too! I liked that we were able to choose the accommodation in each location, we chose economy options for them all and loved all of them. We had our safari in the standard mini van with the pop up roof and it was great. A great way to give us the perfect safari on a budget!
I am so impressed, you have exceeded expectations, I'm so glad we were able to book our safari with you.
We would really recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone, you have been brilliant.
Thank you so much for our amazing experience!

Fantastic trip learning a lot about the animals of Africa!
It was a great trip from start to finish with a fantastic guide who knew what he was talking about. Great views and an amazing chance to see many animals. All processes from when we were booking to when we were on the tour were great and smooth. We will definitely book with them again!

Best costumer service ever
We were advised by a friend to choose Spirit of Kenya and we could not have made a better choice. Top 5 star service, spectacular guides Mike and Moses, 24/7 availability in our language with Francisco always, and I mean always available. Accommodations have lived up to expectations especially the Ziwa Lodge which has a special and unique atmosphere. In just 3 days of safari in Nakuru and Masaai Mara we saw all the animals we wanted except the elusive leopard. Kenya is a wonderful country with warm, friendly, and yet so cheerful people. A family adventure that we will never forget. In addition to organizing the safari in Kenya, Spirit still booked us the flight to Zanzibar and the hotel in Stone Town which we loved. Thank you for an unforgettable trip.

Fabulous company, great planning, great personnel.
From the beginning, Susana and Vanessa provide excellent customer services. They answered all my inquiries (over 50 emails) timely and with great details, erasing any of my concerns toward the trip. In Kenya, Charles is our guide, he's not only attentive to all of our needs, but also super experienced. Always know where to find animals; you will truly be in great hand if you got Charles as your guide. Only regret of trip is that I couldn't stay longer, 6 days in the Safari definitely not enough.

Holiday of a lifetime thanks to Spirit of Kenya and their fantastic guide
From the beginning when we started to plan our safari holiday, Spirit of Kenya shone out as the company who communicated promptly and efficiently and they were always there with a friendly reply to our queries. It was the best decision to choose this company and we had the holiday of a lifetime, helped massively by the wonderful guide, Raphael. Everything Spirit of Kenya promised was delivered. Our guide arrived on time to pick us up at the start of the safari and from that moment on we felt safe and confident we were in the hands of an experienced and knowledgeable guide. Without such a guide we would have missed out on so many things to see - he was truly amazing. We would urge anyone out there wishing to book a safari in Kenya to choose Spirit of Kenya.

All that we could have hoped for and more.
I would recommend Spirit of Kenya without hesitation. Great communication from the first email enquiry right up to the day of departure. Met by the charming and efficient Moses late in the evening at the airport. Charles was our superb guide for the safari: calm, efficient and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble. Managed to make every safari day special and memorable. I hope to return to beautiful Kenya for another adventure and would definitely rebook with Spirit of Kenya.
