Unforgettable Kenya & Tanzania safari with reliable tour operator
5/5

I had an amazing experience with Silver Spark Africa Safaris on a two-week Kenya & Tanzania safari, the entire trip was extremely seamless and without any major issues - Abongo made all of the park and hotel arrangements and my tour guides David and Waziri were extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife and made my entire trip quite enjoyable.

My two week tour hit the major destinations of Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Serengeti while also hitting some of the other surprisingly amazing smaller destinations like Ngorongoro and Lake Nakuru. Trip ended with a three night stay in Zanzibar to unwind after a busy yet fruitful safari. I didn’t know where to begin when I started out so I’m glad I had Abongo to plan and arrange everything for me - do not expect five stars from your hotels but they were all in the least secure, sufficiently comfortable and with a good selection and quality of food.

If you don’t have two weeks I think you could still get a complete safari experience by focusing in on any of the big three destinations mentioned, but my personal recommendation would be to go with either Maasai Mara or Serengeti for the richest experience.

A fantastic adventure
5/5

12-day private safari with an extended stay in Zanzibar. Very good organization of the whole. The basis of such a trip is a good driver/guide. We probably got the best of the best. Kenyan - Peter, Family Man and Tanzanian - Wazeri, Mr. Minister. Both fit in the image of the 5-star Hakuna Matata Brothers and have extensive knowledge of African fauna and flora, excellent orientation in parks and reserves, and extraordinary skills to safely transport you even to places that are not on the map. Accommodation is a separate story. All charming, each in a different way. Starting from a city hotel, through a colonial estate, bungalows, tents, to a charming corner of paradise. Courteous and caring service everywhere. Zachary at Jacaranda Lake Elementaita Lodge is also especially memorable. A few-hour walk with him, stories about the history of the area, animals (especially birds) was an additional attraction.

This team is amazing! From Abongo, to David and Minister, actually everyone! They make us feel as home everyday. They were carrying and loving always watching for us and worried about our confort. There recomendations were the best ones! We were able to see the big five not only once, a few times!!! The guidance, time and acomodations were great! But the best part is that they were for us at anytime! My mother in law lost her passport and Abongo helped us with all the coordinations, we felt very safe and actually we know that now we have friends in Kenya and Tanzania! Looking forward to come back!!

This has been some of the best experiences of my life! And this has been due to the wonderful assistance of Abongo and his incredible staff. I have traveled around the world and I have never felt so pampered and protected.

Organized, thoughtful, and very responsive
5/5

Everything with Silver Spark was perfect! From the inquiry to the drop off at the end was perfect! The booking process was easy and Silver Spark was very responsive to any questions. One of the accommodations was fully booked and Silver Spark had a new accommodation within a few days. Our guide, John, was amazing!!!!!!! Some roads in the Mara were blocked off but John didn’t give up and go us to the Mara River to see the great migration. John took care of my friend and I until the airport drop off at the end.This was my second safari and highly recommend Silver Spark!

The most amazing safari experience in Kenya and Tanzania!
5/5

I travelled with my husband and our moms to Kenya and Tanzania a did an 11-day safari organized by Silver Spark Africa Safaris. We had the most amazing experience! Everything, since the initial coordination with Abongo, to the wonderful drivers/guides David and Minister, and the beautiful places that we stayed in, was perfect. I would 100% recommend travelling with Silver Spark Africa Safaris and we will go back with them, since we now want to visit the gorillas in Uganda.

11-Day Serengeti, Maasai Mara, Tarangire, Amboseli Park
5/5

This is our first time in Kenya and Africa. The inquiry and booking process was easy. Abongo, the founder of the company, was very responsive both on email and WhatsApp.
We arrived to Nairobi City one day earlier and were given the full day excursion to Giraffe Center, August 7th Memorial Park (US embassy), Kenya National Archive Center and Nairobi Gallery. Our guide was Kevin (the company's marketer) together with his driver. The excursion helped us to settle into the "polepole" mode. Tip: arrive to Nairobi at least 1 day early
Next morning we were picked up from our hotel and, after pre-departure meeting, started safari.
The safari has been the best experience thanks to our guides David from Silver Spark Africa Safaris in Kenya and Waziri from Nyangulo Africa Safaris in Tanzania,
After the end of our trip Abongo, David and Kevin took us out to dinner to the famous Nairobi restaurant The Carnivore and after that escorted us to our hotel for a group photo and final "lala salama".
Every minute of the trip we felt protected and in safe hands of our guides and the company.
