The great adventure - Asante Sana!
I have travelled with spot kenya safaris during Christmas Holidays. I travelled with other 8 friends (we had two pop up roof minivans and two expert, friendly and professional guides: Haruni and Jonas. they knew lots about the animals and were skilled at navigating the parks and the roads. Jonas also was good at finding the animals and getting us up close to them) through Navaisha, Amboseli, Tsavo West/East and Diani Beach. The accommodations were great (clean and confortable) as well as the organization. We had such a great time and of course if I will ever be back in Kenya / Tanzania I will contact again Maurice: he was very helpful and made sure we had a good travel experience. He even made some last minute changes which we were very happy to arrange!
Thank you very much!

I got to know Spot Kenya Safaris thank to Safari Bookings.
I contacted Maurice via e-mail and from the very beginning he was very responsive and accommodating to our needs.
We did a roadtrip from Nairobi to Diani, stopping to Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo West on the way there and to Tsavo East on the way back. We covered a lot of ground, yet our drivers have always been available to take us to as many game drives as possible. Spotting wildlife was not the easiest (after rain season Tsavo was very lush), but we have been compensated by the amazing landscape, especially in Tsavo West. Jonas, one of the drivers, was of great company and has a great sight and instinct for finding animals.
While at the coast, Maurice organized for us a one day trip to Wasini Island at a good deal as well as showed us around town.
The few issues encountered on the road were promptly managed.
It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend Spot Kenya Safaris!

It was a one of a kind experience which was absolutely breathtakingly spectacular!
The communication was great! Maurice got back to me immediately and answered all my questions over several emails. He was very gracious the entire time and gave me additional information about cell phones which had nothing to do with the safari. They were also able to accommodate my vegetarian diet and surprisingly the food at the camp was very good, probably some of the best food I ate in Kenya! I would suggest you bring a few extra snacks for in between meals as the gaps can be long as I prefer smaller meals as oppose to 3 big ones.
The camp site is close to the Masai Village (walking distance), you can go there for the experience for an extra 1000 KSH given directly to the Masai people towards their school that they are building. Also walk with a bit extra to buy some souvenirs, I bought a wool shuka (traditional blanket). The camp is similar to glamping, you sleep in a tent but you have a functioning bathroom attached to your own tent with a hot water.
The group of people that we went with were awesome, all of them were solo male/female travelers except my friend and I. There were also a few Kenyan's apart of the tour which I thought was great. The safari van transports 8 people with a pop up roof to stand and look out of to see the animals. It's not the stereotypical safari truck I imagined but it got the job done. Our driver, Gibson knew the Masai Mara very well and communicated with the other drivers to spot the animals. We saw 4/5 of the big 5 (lions, elephants, buffaloes, and leopards which are very hard to see however we were really close to it under the tree). We saw many other animals too such as hippos, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, and etc.
I would recommend this company as it was cost effective and good. It was worth every penny! Don't
forget to tip the driver, he never asked nor implied for a tip at any point, however he deserved it and more!
Overall great company, amazing memories and experience to last a lifetime!

Outstanding trip with a great company
My trip with Spot Kenya was excellent, Maurice was very helpful and went out of his way to make my trip work. Haruni and Sammy were superb guides--very friendly, helpful, and accommodating, and worked hard to ensure we saw as much as possible. Thanks to them, I was able to see the Big Five, as well as countless other wildlife. The lodging, services, and meals at each stay far outdid my expectations. Overall this was an amazing experience, that I will never forget. Any future trips to Africa will be with Spot Kenya.

Great service and experience
My guide Maurice was very good. He was very helpful from the booking to the actual safari. I left it quite late and only booked it one day in advance but he still managed to arrange it for me. The only negative comment is that the company charges me extra for paying in Kenyan Shillings rather than US dollars, which left me with no money to give Maurice as tips (luckily the accommodation was all inclusive so I didn't need money for food). All in all, Maurice was very helpful and made sure I had a good safari experience..he deserves any tips!

Great and very professional
I used spot Kenya Safaris to organize a safari for guests who were coming to Kenya for my wedding. They were very easy to work with and completely professional. My guests all enjoyed the safari and had a wonderful experience.

Great Safari
Spot Kenya Safaris (Geoffrey Mukari) made my 2 day safari to Tsavo East a time to remember. As a woman travelling alone I was immediately put at ease and made to feel comfortable and safe. The driver/guide Huran was an expert on on the wildlife. Tsavo East was at its best after rain, green and lush. The whole experience was excellent.
