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!

5 days safari as a phantastic experience
Very good and flexible organisation of the tour by Maurice Mwanzia. He was very flexible in the wishes according to our individual programm. Changes of plan on the spot, even in the accommodations, were smoothly arranged. Our driver Haroon was an excellent driver and guide. Even though it was our tenth visit to Kenya, we had many new experiences.

Wonderful time
This safari was very nice, I had a wonderful time! We saw the big five and lot of other animals. The guide/driver was a very nice guy and he knew a lot about the animals. Even when there was a problem with the car one evening, he did an excellent job. The next morning everything was all right again, ready to bring us to the next game drive. Sometimes I had to wait a long time for other passengers to join us, but as a whole I had a very nice experience!

Very friendly, reliable, flexible and well organized - another phantastic experience with SKS
Communication and service: very, very friendly, endeavoured and patient with all our changing ideas,
always on time, great pick up and many transfer services even in the middle of the night
Living up to expectations and safari tour: great planning, very good and safe driving, beautiful and well chosen accomodations at reasonable rates, wonderful game sightings from leopards to chameleon.
Maurice and Aaron are wonderful safari guides with great respect for all animals and very friendly at all times. They accepted and fulfilled all our individual wishes and made valuable suggestions (where to go or where not to go). They stopped patiently for each bird or even zebra number 255 when we asked for.
All in all we were happy that we booked SpotKenyaSafaris for the second time and we can highly recommend this tour operator.

Who cares about the agency, it's all the same
First of all, I'd like to say that any agency you book through (at least, in the "low prices agency") it's all the same : you will be put in a group with other people who will do exactly the same tour, but that will have book through another agency.
Good things about Spot Kenya Safari :
- was answering quickly
- good price
- give you the itinerary you want
Bad things :
- Told me that I could pay with American Express, and it was then not possible (once I was there !)
- Gave me a very expensive price (900 dollars for 6 days), that I had to bargain to arrive to 700 dollars. People travelling with me had a 680 dollars immediately, without bargaining through another agency.
Then the trip was very good, good driver, many places seen, good hotel ... but this does not depend from Spot Kenya Safari I guess, as the people I was travelling with were with another agency and had the same tour.
incredible experience
incredible experience!!
really fantastic!!!
thanks a lot
