Excellent: A fantastic experience without any problems
Excellent experience. We built with the help of Vanessa the safari of our dreams between Kenya and Tanzania. The trip was perfect. We returned home happy and with a smile for the beautiful experience lived. We recommend this agency to everyone.

Seven Days with Spirit of Kenya
My wife and I did our second safari and decided to use Spirit of Kenya this time. We had an incredible time! Vanessa made the planning of our safari extremely easy and was very responsive to any questions we had. We did a seven day tour going to four different parks, Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Aberdare National Park, and Samburu. I recommend anyone going to spend a few days in Maasai Mara, as that was by far our favorite.
Simon was our driver over the seven days, and he was very professional and knowledgeable about all the animals and birds. He was able to get us to see all the big five, including a leopard! We had the best time driving with him all day and listening to his stories and knowledge.
We would like to eventually come back and bring our families to experience this amazing tour. We highly recommend Spirit of Kenya.

An amazing safari tour
Asante sana for our tour !
We’d experienced a wonderful 5-day safari tour.
At Hell’s Gate we’d seen a volcanic region with rocked mountains and their towers. There we’d a walk tour , visiting the scenario that inspired The Lion King Disney movie.
Visiting Lake Navaisha and Lake Nakuru, we’d seen several birds with their sounds, wild animals and a wonderful view including a boat ride.
An exceptional safari tour at Maasai Mara! We’d seen the big five, gazels, giraffes, hippos, babuins, zebras, gnus, pumbas, birds and experienced a picnic along the Mara river.
Our lodges were carefully selectioned by Spirits of Kenya, with delicious foods and drinks, comfortable rooms, with beautiful and relaxed views!
Mike is an excellent guide, a safe driver, adorable, patient, clever, with a deep knowledge of the region and the behaviour of the animals!
We loved our stay at Nairobi with Spirits pf Kenya!

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!
