The best and most unique trip
Thanks to Spirit of Kenya, It was the best and most unique trip I've ever had. Also thanks to our guides, who were very professional and enthusiastic, introducing and helping us understand animals better, at the same time inspiring us to feel deep down inside by the nature.
Looking forward to coming back to Africa and experiencing again the elephants of Amboseli, the great migration of Serengeti, and the Garden of Eden in Ngorongoro.

Amazing safari in Kenya and Tanzania
We went on a Kenya-Tanzania safari with Spirit of Kenya and had an amazing time. Filipa, our trip planner, deserves special commendation for her dedication and expertise in crafting the perfect itinerary. Her attention to detail and deep knowledge of the region ensured that every day of our safari was filled with breathtaking encounters with wildlife and awe-inspiring landscapes. Her recommendations for accommodations, game drives, and cultural experiences truly exceeded our expectations.
Throughout the trip we felt taken care of by the lodge staff and our drivers. Everything was taken care of and we could relax and enjoy the wildlife and this once in a lifetime experience. Our driver in Tanzania, Deo, was very knowledgeable and connected well with my teenage son. Great trip overall.

Amazing Trip with a wonderful Safari Guide and a very helpful tour company - Spirit of Kenya
Thank you again for all your help and assistance in arranging our family trip to Kenya. It was an amazing trip, and my husband relived his childhood memories throughout the holiday. All your recommendations on where to stay were spot on, and also, the guidance in building the safari week was much appreciated, followed by a lovely relaxing week on the beach. Your quick response to my many questions was second to none.
Rufus, our Safari Guide, was outstanding. A lovely, humble man who was so informative and helped us search out all the wildlife and more. He is a credit to your company, and we would most certainly recommend him to other guests looking for a wonderful safari guide.
Thank you once again for everything. It was a holiday of once in a lifetime!

Fantastic Experience!
Fantastic safari experience with Spirit of Kenya. Our family group of 6 people spent 7 days on safari visiting 4 national parks and the trip was extraordinary. In advance, Victor was super in helping us arrange all the details and answering all our questions. The variety of accommodations and national parks was well thought out and our guide, Rafael was experienced and knowledgeable. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife (including lions and cheetahs). Everywhere we stayed was comfortable and the food was excellent. The all inclusive experience made it easy for us to sit back and enjoy each other's company and all the amazing scenery and wildlife.

Excellent!! Unforgettable memory on Safari made by Sprit of Kenya.
I and my wife were planned this safari trip to celebrate our honeymoon. Our Personal Journey Designer Jorge made the awesome arrangements for our special occasions.
Of course, our lovely and knowledgeable tour guide Raphael was very hard work and patiently took us to the perfect the right spots to see animals and birds in Samburu and Masai Mara as well as Lake Nakuru, we were witnessed all the big 5 and ugly 5 more than that. Moreover, he was profoundly to explain history of Kenya to allow us understood of local culture vividly. Humorous Moses took us to feed lovely giraffe in the giraffe center that was a really special experience. Really appreciate folks from Sprit of Kenya to make our trip safe, comfortable and unforgettable.
Asante sana. :)

Fantastic Safari Tour Company
I run a travel adventure YouTube channel and travel a lot. Spirit of Kenya is one of the best, well-run companies I've worked with. Jorge, our trip organizer, was fantastic! He was super responsive and answered dozens and dozens of questions for us. Jorge priced many different options for us and gave us great recommendations. Everything he recommended like where to go and where to stay was accurate and worked out great. I had a of couple of special requests, I wanted some photography bean bags for example, and Jorge made sure they were loaded in the vehicle. Spirit of Kenya was very organized and provided everything we needed from the time we landed at the airport until our guide dropped us off at the airport at the end of our trip. Our guide, Rufus, was also fantastic! He worked tirelessly to make sure we saw the animals we really wanted to see. He was also very knowledgeable on animal habits and where and when to see them. We spent 9 days with Rufus on various game drives across Amboseli and the Masai Mara. He was very patient with us and we made plans every night for the following day. He let us decide on the type of game drives we wanted to do and when to go. A good guide is a must for a successful Safari. See my photos for just a small sample of all the animals Rufus helped us find. I found Spirit of Kenya also to be extremely affordable compared to other options. I've heard of safari companies going out of business after you have paid your money so picking the right company is the biggest and most important decision you will make. I can't recommend this company enough. They are the best! Check out my YouTube channel to see exactly how great our experiences were.

Went on a 7 day Safari to 4 national parks with Spirit of Kenya. It was absolutely fabulous.
Spirit of Kenya Safaris made us feel like treasured company. With just 2 of us in one vehicle, our Kenyan guide & driver felt more like a friend than a tour operator. The drive down the highway towards Mombasa was an adventure in itself, getting familiar to how everyone uses all parts of the road. When we arrived in Amboseli National Park, the first thing I saw was an elephant under a shady umbrella acacia tree. Classic stuff. Further along, a big male elephant gave chase, with us amazed at how close he came. We saw such a wide range of animals with our guide detailing each animals traits & reproductive cycles. The drought broke the evening we arrived & the savanna turned green in a day. The Lodge accommodation was really good, as was all the food & staff service. Everyone was so nice & well mannered & smiling. The Maasai are a happy & proud people.
The conversion from US dollars to the Kenyan Shilling was crazy low, so food & drinks were very inexpensive, so I was happy to tip well.
Leaving the view of Mt. Kilimanjaro with its snow cap, we travelled up the highway again and into the Rift Valley, heading to a Lodge at Lake Naivasha, then onto Lake Nakuru National Park. Again, all the staff at these places were wonderful, as was the food & drinks. It mostly rained at night, giving us fresh & clear days to explore for animals, of which there was in abundance. Giraffes, gazelles & antelopes, zebras & gnus, elephants & hippos, Lions & hyenas, warthogs & rhinos .. and some amazing bird life as well, so yeah - ostriches & flamingos, etc.
Our wonderful guide & driver looked after us very well. There were no problems at all considering the miles we travelled and we also got to see the communities or villages along the highways, with their cattle or goats grazing right alongside the roadways, always with a young or old Maasai on guard. Our last few days were spent down in the Maasai Mara, close to the Tanzanian Serengeti Plains. The recent rains had turned the plains green, so there were animals in abundance, many with new born calves or cubs, etc. We saw a cheetah with 4 healthy young ones.! We had some amazing close encounters with lions while we were there as well. This 7 day Safari tour was something to remember forever .. and I have the photos & videos to prove it.
