Well done
We met in Nairobi with our driver/guide William, very human person, availble to satisfy everything you need. We went 2 days in Maasai Mara, beautiful, we could see many animals, and 1 day to Lake Naiwasha, boat ride, cycle tour, very nice, among the weather...
Only suggestion to pay attention with Wifi connection in the van and in the Ecocamp. Everything OK, thanks to Maurice too.
Next year we would like to have another trip with them.
Thanks.

Worth it!
Maurice was very reactive to emails, and could arrange for one of our friends who missed his flight.
The tour was as promised except a switch in the order of the activities.

trustable
Communications is fine. Service is OK. The driver or the guider is kind-hearted. We chat in english easyly, and he knows much about animals. Thanks again here for him to sent us to visit the national museum on the last day . We had a good safari tour.

Good, responsive team
Service: Happy with this aspect. Responded to our requests positively
Communications: Should have been better. We were given wrong estimates of travel time between parks
Living up to expectations: The hotel in Nairobi was surely not Luxury category while the tour was supposed to be one.
Safari experience: very good.

Harmony Apartments , Junction mall and Great Rift lodge
Exquisite return for an ex pat from Melb, quite interesting staying at furnished houses .... The urbanizing city in the sun reaches out to one's desire to explore. Surprisingly full of adventure and enticements in the rich african culture. fell for the place, friendly people, saucy and zesty touch of natural equatorial- savanna.. beautify the environs, scenic nightlife& developments. Very artsy ( I liked harmonyapartments.co.ke) wondrous packages , organizational services etc.. also checked in at Great Rift golf resort, Naivasha listed on Trip advisor which was okay.

Masai Mara trip
Spot Kenya was 'spot on' whenever I wanted some info about the tour. Even made some last minute changes which they readily accommodated. Very reliable and responsible. The trip to Masai Mara was excellent. Very good driver and guide. Reasonable price for tour with budget accommodation (hot showers and decent warm meals).
Downside: The vehicle was little cramped with 8 people with lots of luggage in front and trunk.
If you are not looking for frills and want to enjoy the nature Spot comes well recommended.

Very proactive and tries hard to give you a good time.
I had a safari to Masai Mara arranged by Spot.
Maurice was there at the airport to greet me.
Maurice and booked the hotel, and communicated all my requirements.
My complaints are
1) The price was a bit on the higher side
2) The driver was not all that enthusiastic to go on game drives.
I have communicated both the issues to Maurice, and he has promised me better service for the Safari am planning in July again to Masai Mara.
Will I recommend them to friends? Yes I would as Maurice seems to be a person who wants to try and give a good service.

Great 12-day trip with Spot Kenya Safaris
My husband and I had a great 12-day private safari with Spot Kenya Safaris in January 2015. We flew into Nairobi and went to Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli National Park, Tsavo West and Tsavo East, and then returned to Nairobi. The parks are amazing and you will not be disappointed! When we (hopefully) return in the future, we will try to go during the great wildebeest migration in August/September, as we heard that is even better!
We were very happy with Spot Kenya's responsiveness during the planning phase and its willingness to design a private safari based around our interests. We ultimately chose Spot Kenya because Geoffrey and the rest of its staff were very responsive, provided a competitive rate, and had good reviews online.
Our guide and driver, Harun, was friendly and professional. He knew lots about the animals and he seemed skilled at navigating the parks and the roads. He also was good at finding the animals and getting us up close to them. We especially appreciated that he was willing to take us to a few places in Nairobi on our final day, even though they were not on our original itinerary.
We loved the places we stayed in Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo West, and Tsavo East. The other places we stayed were okay (fine but not as good as the others), and we conveyed our suggestions for changes to Spot Kenya after our trip. We liked the food everywhere we went, and, as a vegetarian, I was happy with the selections.
One suggestion for future travelers is to ask about the driving times between parks, as we did not realize ahead of time how much driving we had in store. We probably would not have changed things anyway, but some travelers might revise their itinerary if they knew how long it takes to get between destinations.
Happy travels - we hope you get to visit Kenya!
