An amazing trip!
We arranged a long layover in another tour package and wanted to see as much of Kenya as we could. Happy we selected Spirit of Kenya to fill in our dates. Tiago provided lots of options and price ranges. We were thrilled with our experience. Highlights were Ol
Tukai in Ambroseli and the Amani Mara Camp. The staff in both places were exceptional! We also had George as our driver. He was an excellent, safe driver. A fact you’ll appreciate when you see the crazy roads with big heavy trucks wending their way along. Aside from his safe driving, George was an excellent guide and game spotter. He got us to lions on a kill before any other cars arrived. Keen eyes and lots of knowledge! He also was able to accommodate all our requests - not easy in our group of four women and one man. Okay the man never requested anything special! :)
Anyway thanks spirit of Kenya. I know we asked for many changes as we went along but you were always cheerful and responded quickly. And everything was spot on as you said it would be. We’ll be back!

Perfect!
The communication with Sprit of Kenya was more than perfect. I was surprised by the prompt reply from Tiago. He was providing all the necessary information and answering to all the concerns. I must admit that the way things worked with Tiago influenced a lot our decision to go with Sprit of Kenya. He demonstrated a high level of professionalism. The tour was perfect and we had a nice time in Kenya, everything was as planned. Our driver/guide, Gidion was friendly, he knew a lot about animals and he was sharing the information every time he had the occasion. He knew where to go to see the Big 5. We enjoyed a lot our experience. We are planning in returning in Kenya in the next future and definitely we are going to contact again Sprit of Kenya. I recommend this agency.

A fantastic safari experience, memories that will stay with us for ever
My brother and I did a 4 night, 5 day safari. From the initial request for a quote to meeting point and then the safari itself , the experience was amazing. Our guide Charles was friendly, courteous and extremely knowledgeable about the areas we visited and the animals we saw. We stayed in 3 different locations, each of them was brilliant - friendly welcoming staff, great food and facilities. The tour had a great balance of sight seeing and relax time. I would not hesitate to recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone - thank you Tiago and Charles, you gave us a trip to remember!

The most amazing trip with Spirit of Kenya
We remember with great pleasure our visit to your wonderful country, with its treasures in the form of wildlife and kindness of its people.
We spent an unforgettable week with a perfect organization of Spirit of Kenya, from the pick up at the airport, the chosen accommodations, the unique natural parks and the wise advice of Samu (driver) and Brian (guide).
It was also very important for us to have quickly (less than 2hours) answers by André to all our questions, in order to know which would be the details of our trip.
We would like to visit you again soon.

I would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone!
The tour was fantastic! I'm glad I chose Spirit of Kenya to be our guide in Kenya. Our minivan was very comfortable for us. Our guide (Franco) made sure we saw everything! He was extremely friendly, knowledgable and humorous. He never got tired even when my father asked him (in 20th time) about the difference between male/female horns in gazelles. We were very lucky to have Franco. We enjoyed Africa's nature and we will definitely come back some day. I would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone!

Amazing service!
I had a great experience with Spirit of Kenya. After reasearching for months on different agencies, I decided to go with them eventhough I had received cheaper quotes. André, the person who helped us arrange our trip was very patient, I made many changes. I never felt pressured to book with them and all the information I requested was sent to me on time.
The whole trip was perfect, they took care of everything, and I mean everything! Our guides in Masai Mara and Serengeti were AMAZING. We spotted a lot of animals and felt very comfortable with both of them.
I highly recommend this agency, you can't go wrong with them.
Our guides were Charles, in Mara and Tony in Serengeti.
I hope this review helps as I know its difficult to pick an agency (there are MANY) when you read so many bad reviews and experiences of other travelers.

It was the most beautiful experience in Africa with Spirit of Kenya!
We had an impressive experience in Africa and we sincerely appreciate your efforts regarding our Safari tour. Our driver was so kind and drived us within the parks to see as many animals as possible. I was really impressed by his devotion. Before the last safari day in Masai Mara, he managed to show us also the leopard so we saw the big five which exceed our expectations. It really ment a lot to meet people like him and the guests from our nightstandings in the lodges. It’s pretty hard to decide what I liked mostly because I simply enjoyed the whole experience as one of the best of my life.
I’ve never spend nights in tent camps until I reached Zebra Plans and it was so interesting to get out of our comfort zone and meanwhile to spend a great time there.
We also visited the Naivasha lake, which was not part of our plan, but thanks to our driver and his ingenious ideas we saw there a lot of birds and also took a boat ride.
To end the tour properly, he drove us to the Giraffe center in Nairobi where we fed the giraffes and took pictures with them.
We have wonderful memories of our days in Safari.
Thanks a lot for making our vacation memorable.

Spirit of Kenya - above and beyond!
We had an amazing time thanks to Spirit of Kenya! With Vanessa’s help, we designed an itinerary which worked well for us and the booking process was really smooth. During the safari our guide, Sego, was great fun and importantly he was very knowledgeable. He was determined that we saw the Big 5 and lots of other amazing scenes, and this didn’t disappoint! Spirit of Kenya were very professional and always went above and beyond - I’d definitely recommend them to anyone!

Best experience in my life!
Excellent tour company!!! Vanessa who did all the tour’s organization was impeccable; We were looking on this trip for approximately 1 year and I had to postpone it due to the pandemic, I sent around 200 emails to Vanessa and she always answered all my doubts, with great education and resolution. My expectations were very high, as the recommendations were excellent, and even so, they managed to surpass them.
The guides are very kind, respectful and do everything to find the animals we want to see, even if we have to walk thousands of kilometers. They are also extremely punctual and well educated.
The hotel directions were magnificent, with unique service.
At first it seems expensive to pay per day and per person for the safari, since my currency is devalued, but when we got there, we saw that it is very fair for everything that it includes and for the work of everyone involved in the organization.
I recommend the company with my eyes closed, and for sure our experience in Kenya and Tanzania was the best, because we went with Spirit of Kenya.
Just perfect!!!

Best tour operator in Africa
Andre was my Personal Journey Designer. I only had one day in Nairobi and my trip was planned only two days before, yet Andre was able to help me design an unforgettable safari, dinner and souvenir trip. He even allowed me to combine a work trip to the hospital to visit a patient on the itinerary and was very generous in his costing and pricing. Our driver and guide was Franco who was always smiling and also helped guide us through our itinerary on the day itself. He helped us decide how much time to spend in each location to make the most out of our day.
Out of all the tour operators I contacted, only Spirit of Kenya has listed on its email it’s numerous awards and travelers choice commendations. They also reply very fast and efficiently. I would not go with other company when in Africa :)
Thank you Andre and Franco for an unforgettable experience :)
