A great introduction to Kenya and its wildlife
We had an 8 day safari tour taking in the Masai Mara, Lake Nokuru, Amboseli and Tsavo West. Our guide Thomas was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, a great driver, very adaptable to our requirements and a pleasure to be with. All the accomodation was great especially in the MM which had open access.

Trip of a lifetime perfectly hosted by Spirit of Kenya
We booked 5 day trip visiting Amboseli NP, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara via Spirit of Kenya. Team was super responsive to every query I had before the trip started.
During the trip, from the moment we exited the airport to the moment we reentered it, everything was planned and hosted perfectly by Spirit of Kenya. Our guide, Joseph was extremely knowledgeable & friendly, while he also knew when to give us our privacy & let us enjoy. He helped me plan the proposal & picked a perfect spot for the same for me, while also capturing the moment.
Spirit of Kenya provided us with great hotel & travel options as per our budget and can't praise enough the hospitality we enjoyed at every place we visited.
Highly recommend Spirit of Kenya for the safari experience and we can't wait to be back soon.

Our Memorable 10-day Safari Adventure
During our 10-day safari adventure through Kenya and Tanzania we visited Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Amboseli… and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the breathtaking landscapes to the warm hospitality we experienced, every moment was filled with wonder and excitement.
Most of the locations where we stayed exceeded all expectations, especially the Lahia Tented Lodge in the Serengeti....wow wow, the view was just amazing! Each accommodation offered a unique immersion into the surrounding wilderness, making every night a memorable experience.
What truly set this safari apart, however, was the exceptional service provided by every member of the team. From the moment we began planning our trip with Filipa, our coordinator, who supported us all the way!. Her patience and thoroughness in answering all our endless questions ensured that we felt fully prepared for our journey.
During our safari drives, our guide James, was an absolute delight. His knowledge of the region's wildlife and landscapes was unparalleled, and his sense of humor added an extra layer of enjoyment to each excursion. James' professionalism and dedication made navigating the vast terrain effortless, allowing us to focus solely on soaking in the beauty of our surroundings. In Tanzania, our driver Lawrence was also very kind and professional, his personality was a bit more serious but he was a very knowledgeable guide.
The kindness and friendliness of everyone we encountered along the way truly made this safari an unforgettable experience.
Our 10-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania was a journey filled with awe-inspiring moments and heartfelt connections. Thanks to the impeccable service of Filippa, James and Lawrence, every aspect of our adventure exceeded expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend this safari experience to anyone seeking an unforgettable expedition into the heart of Africa's wilderness

Excellent service
We travelled in two family groups to Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru. The booking process had been handled very professionally, with very quick response times. Our two drivers/guides, Charles and George, could not have done more to make our safari trip as complete and memorable as possible. Using their expertise, we were fortunate to see the "Big 5" twice over, and cant think of a single animal we missed. Their expertise also extended to birdlife - something several of us were particularly interested in - and between us we accumulated a bird list of over 100 species covering a wide range of habitats. The accommodation in tented camps was comfortable and clean (very much needed after long days in the vehicles), and although we were very close up to nature, the security provided at each camp was completely reassuring. All in all we had a fantastic safari experience.

Fantastic Experience!
My husband and I chose Spirit of Kenya for our first safari as my Goddaughter had used them for her honeymoon trip and was very happy with them. We are quite thankful for her recommendation as we had a great trip!
Our driver/guide, Michael, was excellent. He picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi and was with us for the week as we visited Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and Maasai Mara. He is an excellent guide and did his best to find the Big 5! We really enjoyed our conversations with him and learned so much about Kenya, the different parks, the animals and anything else we wanted to know.
Spirit of Kenya offered us lodging options at each of our locations and we were pleased with our choices. You can go from "budget/standard" to "luxury/premium" at each place; we chose the premium options which were all fantastic.
Vanessa was extremely helpful in the planning of our trip. We actually booked the trip just a month before leaving and it all went very smoothly thanks to her prompt replies to my many questions. The weather was great other than an hour of rain at the Lake and then on the last day in Maasai Mara, so we were quite happy with going in April.
I highly recommend Spirit of Kenya - you won't be disappointed!

Beyond Expectations
We had an incredible 5 day Safari, with our kids (11 and13). Thomas was our driver and we couldn't have asked for more. He was a wealth of information, and had an amazing ability to spot animals even while navigating some very challenging terrain. Thomas knew the parks inside and out, be it animals, birds, plants and culture, he knew it all. Our expectations were exceeded. Spirit of Kenya was excellent in helping us plan it out, and I would recommend Thomas to anybody who is looking for an amazing experience!

An amazing African experience!!! ;)
They organized a great safari for us!! With pick up at the airport, 2 days in Amboseli NP, 1 day in Lake Naivasha, 1 day in Lake Nakuru, 2 days in Masai Mara and they left us in Isibania, the border with Tanzania to continue our safari . Spirit of kenya always answered us very quickly and adjusted to all our needs, our plans and exceeded our expectations. Our guide Mike M, is a great human being, with too much knowledge, respect and love for animals. Full days of sharing his experiences and he managed to get us to see the big 5 in just 3 days. Using all his knowledge he knew where to look, where to wait to be able to have the best moment close to the animals. At a time where we were seeing a lion, another car arrived with other people and Mike with his big heart told us, sharing is caring and he moved his car, so that other people could have and live the same experience as us, which we found impressive and super kind and knew that he is a super guide , who we recommend 100%.
Thank you Mike M, for making us live such a majestic experience. Thank you Spirit of Kenya ;)

INCREDIBLE!!
Please feel completely confident in the leadership and direction of Filipa M., Personal Journey Designer at Spirit of Kenya. I presented many challenges to her regarding changes in dates and experiences, including a medical emergency whereby I needed to reschedule everything AGAIN. Filipa was always, kind, thorough, patient, encouraging, caring and completely efficient with it all. Every last detail was designed with precision! I highly recommend Filipa and Spirit of Kenya for your safari planning!!

A trip we will never forget!
We just came back from the best trip of our lives. It was our first time to Kenya and from the very beginning Vanessa helped us over several months to tailor our trip and create an unforgettable experience. She was always kind, friendly and very helpful.
The highlight of our trip was not just breathtaking nature, sceneries, animals, but our guide Sammy, a true gem. He was not just our guide, but we can easily say he was the most incredible human being we’ve ever met. He was always smiling with positive attitude, had incredible knowledge he was eager to share, cared genuinely about doing everything in his power to ensure we had the best experience - and oh boy we did. His love and passion for the animals was contagious!
Thank you Spirit of Kenya for creating this unique experience for us and thank you Sammy for making us fall in love with your country.
Asante sana rafiki.
