11-Day Serengeti, Maasai Mara, Tarangire, Amboseli Park
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.

Organized, thoughtful, and very responsive
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!

Private Safaris with very experienced guide.
This private 6-days Safari was absolutely stunning! Always smiling and laughing with our guide because it was a dream come true for my family friend the four of us. Would recommend Silver Spark Africa Safaris to everyone who is looking for a unique and really personal safari experience, which is not commercial at all.

very experienced guide and good arrangement of all activities
I spent wonderful 10days with my guide David. He know everything about animals and plants in Kenya, always can find best position to observe animals. I knew I will have a wonderful vacation after the first day and we see all big five in first 3days already and they are sooo close. I have to admit that I saw way much more as expected.

very good experience, friendly, informal, reliable
Pros
- good communication, all e-mails were answered in a few hours
- flexibility, they organized an unscheduled day in Nairobi for us including visit of former US Embassy destroyed by terrorist blast in 1998, one of the highlights of our trip besides national parks
- we probably got to see as much as we could in such a short time thanks to the great itinerary
- reasonable price for this category of safari trip
- excelent driver and guide David, always in a good mood, helpful, never tired of answering our questions or satisfying our endless need for the best picture spot, wonderful character we will never forget
Cons
- even though they say on the website that they do accept credit cards they do not, after we refused requested cash payment, we finaly agreed on Wise money transfer, cashless procedure which worked out fine but wouldn´t have to be so complicated, only dissapointment in otherwise perfect service and only reason for not giving five stars

Extremely Accommodating and flexible with good team of excellent employees
Extremely Accommodating and flexible with good team of excellent employees.
David - our tour guide who was our driver for the whole trip was very very helpful, knowledgeable and made sure every single opportunity to see if and any and all wildlife. He made our whole Kenya experience the very best. We all loved Kenya and the safari.
Our overall experience with Silver Spark Safari was extremely good. The reason for giving 4 stars is -
out of our whole trip of 10 days - 3 accomodations were extremely good (Samburu- Nakuru and Kibo(Amboselli). These made our experience unforgettable.
but 4 accomodations were really bad (the 1st night hotel in Nairobi, Milili Hotel- Maverick Camp in Aberdare- Lake Naivasha and the last camp at Amboselli).
We had to pay extra out of pocket to get another accomodations from Aberdare and move to Lake Nakuru.
Would highly recommend even if the ratings say good but please please check them more in depth).
If we keep the accomodations aside, Silver Sparks on the whole, Abongo our main point of contact from beginning to the end and on top of everything David made our Kenya safari the best.
Highly highly highly recommend this company.
Thank you Silver Sparks for everything for making us our family unforgettable memories of the lifetime.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Experience!
This was our second trip in Kenya with same company "Silver Spark Africa Limited. They have maintained their service, just like the previous trip. We really thank Abongo and our guide for giving us the best safari. It was a great tour that covered a lot of Maasai Mara culture. Giving us the best experienced both culture and nature. Really enjoyed the camping part of the tour in Maasai Mara at Wajee Mara.

"Great service and guide"
I would say everything was top, we saw every animal possible and every aspect of the trip was top notch, from our first night hotel, to our safaris in Lake Naivasha , Amboseli and Maasai Mara. Our driver, Alex, was great and make sure that we saw incredible wildlife. Jeremiah is just a wonderfully kind young man who knows his country. His pride in sharing his beautiful country makes the experience even more rewarding that I could've ever imagined. I'm hard to impress when it comes to travel, but the Silver Spark Africa Safaris team did it so organized. I do recommend Silver Spark Africa Safaris for every traveler visiting East Africa, and look forward to visit Kenya again.
