Spirit of Kenya delivers ... from start to finish.
Spirit of Kenya delivers ... from start to finish. My wife and I just finished 3 weeks in Kenya with 12 days of well invested time being with Spirit.
It all starts with their quick, detailed and friendly responses in the planning stage. There is no question they could not answer, no problem they could not solve and no request they could not accommodate.
From the pickup at our hotel in Nairobi, it was nothing but non-stop laughs and informative input about Kenya as a country, the history, the wildlife and the parks themselves with our ace driver Simon. He was like a living breathing version of Wikipedia, and knew boundaries well. He knew when it was time to join in and when it was time to give us space, and the man would simply not rest until he knew we were satisfied and all logistics had been sorted for the following day.
We took on about 7 National Parks / Reserves (Nairobi Park / Elephant Centre / Giraffe Centre / Lake Nakuru / Masai Mara / Lake Naivasha /Hell's Garte / Amboseli / Tsavo West ) and it was worth it to see the variation of landscape and the difference in animals. Simon has this uncanny ability to know where the animals would be before the animals themselves did. We were in a constant state of being surrounded by elephant herds or alongside lion prides. The number of animal crossings we had to wait for were countless. There wasn't a single animal we were hoping to see that we missed out on. He had us parked beneath a tree with sleeping leopard within minutes of entering the Mara. He seems to be mates with every driver in Kenya and this works to his advantage in getting tips where to look for wildlife. Also worthy of mention is how mad some roads in Kenya can be and how smoothly he navigated them - let alone Nairobi and Mombasa traffic. Always felt safe.
We also had a superb time visiting a Masai Village which was a far cry from touristy - this was the real deal- with no harassment or overpriced costs. We learned so much.
The accommodation process itself allows for a lot of choices and more often than not Spirit upon our inquiries pointed us in the direction of cheaper places they they thought would be to our liking. And it all comes with zero pressure. We had no problems with any of our lodges. That and Simon seamlessly timed all game drives with meal and break times. We were never a minute late for anything, did everything and missed nothing. Spirit is the way to go. Would use them again in a heartbeat.

Excellent tour operator! From beginning... Till the end.
It all started with the great costumer service! I had so many questions about planning this trip to Kenya. Vanessa answered all my questions very fast! They want you to feel comfortable with you choices and give you all the information you need.
We are just back from a 15-days trip to Kenya. We booked our 4-days Safari with Spirit of Kenya (Masai Mara national park) and our pick up from and to the airport + flight to Mombassa. Everything was well organized from start to finish. Even when there were changes, they did their very best to solve it and to fulfill your wishes.
Our guide, Josef, was fun and had a lot of knowledge about the animals. I really liked Masai Mara and we saw all the animals (more than once) except the rhinos. When an animal was spotted our guide brought us right away and could always bring us very close!
Even the route from Nairobi to the national park was quite an experience. He was a good driver and I always felt safe.
I love Africa, I love Kenya and this is certainly an experience to never forget!
We highly recommend Spirit of Kenya!
Thank you to make this happen for us.

Reliable agent!
Just coming back, Spirit of Kenya arranged everything perfectly for us ,esp thanks to Susana and Jose who answered my tons of mails with so much patience, and also our guide,George,who reacted so quickly that morning when we asked him to send us to the take off point of hot air balloon safari，which is obviously that the hot air balloon company forgot to take us. Killed some rest hours of George. And he also give us a really near sight of a group of lions. So much thanks. Fantastic experience! Definitely recommend to my friends.

Everything went great
They always replied fast and with accurate information. Before my arrival, it was noticeable that they were taking care of everything. They provided free transportation from the airport to my hotel. The tour went great. Our guide, Joseph, exhibited commitment in his service and knowledge about his country and the animals we saw. We took a mid-range tour in tented camps. It was just what we expected. However, I have to say that we took other tour in Uganda (Achieve Safaris) and we got much better accommodations than in Kenya for about the same price. Maybe it has nothing to do with the company, but with a more expensive country. I think Uganda makes your money more valuable. Anyway, the experience with Spirit of Kenya was very good. I recommend them. They were quite professional.

Outstanding
We’ve been in Kenya for a 4-day safari with Spirit of Kenya agency. I do recommend them. Everything happened as planned, no surprises. The guide was great, the communication before the trip was perfect. I also recommend staying at Kichwa Tented Camp and taking the Land Cruiser option.

Excellent tailor-made safari with a very kind and professional guide! High standard and top quaity.
Since the booking phase I dealt with very kind people who suggested me the best safari according to my requests.
Our expectations have been satisfied because the lodge and basecamp were absolutely outstanding and the guide pampered us and made us experience a real private and unique safari.

Everything is perfect
This is our first trip to Kenya. We contacted several travel agencies, and finally chose the Spirit of Kenya. Because they replied very fast and patiently answered all our questions.
Joseph, our guide, is very kind and professional. He knows what time and where to meet what animal, we took many nice photos.
This is a perfect safari experience.

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.

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.
