4-days Mara Vacation!!
Wonderful service!! We have been planning this trip with Abongo for almost three weeks as we had postponed twice for unavoidable reasons and so it was a huge relief that we finally did it. I must say that we were very glad that we chose Silver Spark Africa because they’ve treated us to the most wonderful safari experience. Maasai Mara is a beautiful place with incredible attractions and nice people with their heritage culture. Each day brought new adventure in the parks or while visiting local tribes.
There were so many exciting experiences that had our teens on the edge of their seats. If you are thinking of a Kenya safari go with Silver Spark Safari company and you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend Silver Spark Safari Tours for our next safari trip.

An unforgettable experience with a good tour operator and guide!
We booked an 8-day-private Safari (Aberdere - Nakuru - Massai Mara - Naivasha - Amboseli). It was our first trip to Afrika/Kenia and our first safari. We were really excited. Our tour operator answered all our requests promtly and was very friendly.
We asked for a german speaking guide, because our english isn't the best. And our Guide Titus spoke german very well. He took good care of us the whole trip. Everything was very well organized.
We saw the big 5 - 4 of them on our first game drive in Nakuru :-) - and the huge herds of wildebeest an zebras in the massai mara, even though we missed crossing the river - and the huge herds of elephants in Amboseli. It was incredible. All the parks were impressive in ther own way. We would skip the stop in Naivasha next time, even though the lodge was really great. It was really exciting to see the variety of landscape and it's people as we drove from one park to the other. the lodges our tour operator choosed, were good, we just can't recommend the AA lodge in Massai Mara.
We had a small problem with the car twice but they were solved immidiatly. Titus drove carefully, but sometimes it was still exciting for us, especially during the game drives on the washed out paths through ditches. But it was exciting to see and get to know everything.
We can recommend the silver spark team and Titus and a safari in Kenia.

Fantastic experience
My girlfriend and I did a 7 days Safari around Kenya (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli). Abongo was very helpful and correct during the booking pre safari. Always here for us during the organization and also during our trip. I agreed some changes on the program based on our interests and everything went good. The lodges were to our expectations. Our guide Peter was the best person we could find. He was always with us and take care of us like sons (we're 26yo). He wasn't only a good and safe driver but also a kind and prepared guide about Kenya and its parks and animals. He is an awesome Person and we will take him in our Heart. We succeeded in see 4 out 5 of the big five and had beautiful Game Drives.
The price for what we've done was honest and Fair.
Thanks a lot to Abongo and Peter for this fantastic experience.

The ultimate choice for a dependable, entertaining & well-organised safari tour operation
One of the biggest challenges when planning a safari trip to Nairobi is finding a trustworthy, economical, and experienced safari operator. I contacted and communicated with several operators, but it was just one call with Abongo—the main person at Silver Sparks—that made my decision easy. His patience, attention to detail, and calm demeanor assured me that he would meet my expectations for the safari.
Day 1 & 2: My safari with Silver Sparks was exceptional from start to finish. Abongo’s meticulous planning ensured that every detail was perfectly executed. The adventure began with a visit to the giraffe center, followed by a bike ride at Karura Forest (Tip: Make sure to get some cardio in if you plan on doing the bike ride), and concluded with an insightful tour of Nairobi city, including Kenyatta Market where you’re spoiled for choice with souvenirs. What made the first two days even more memorable was the company of Abongo, Kevin, and Eric. They joined me on the bike ride and were very helpful with haggling for souvenirs.
From Day 3 and 4, I met Peter, my tour guide for the rest of the trip. As they say, first impressions are lasting, and meeting Peter was no exception; his smile could light up a room. We headed to Masai Mara, a five-and-a-half-hour drive from Nairobi that turned into a seven-hour drive due to unexpected traffic (Tip: Leave as early as possible if driving from Nairobi to Masai). I stayed at Jambo Safari Lodge, which, though considered mid-range, could easily compete with luxury resorts. The game drives at Masai Mara were memorable, and Peter’s insightful information about the animals made the experience even better.
On Day 5, we drove from Masai Mara to Lake Nakuru, a five-hour drive with a two-hour stopover at Lake Naivasha for a boat ride. You can take the regular boat ride for USD 35, but Peter suggested using the boat ride offered by Lake Naivasha Resort, which costs $50 and was worth every penny. You get to see various types of birds and a few hippos. I stayed for a night at Lake Nakuru Lodge, which exceeded my expectations. My room had a balcony with breathtaking views of Lake Nakuru National Park.
On Day 6, the final leg of the trip, we left early from Nakuru toward Amboseli Park, driving past the majestic snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro. At Amboseli, I stayed at the tented resort managed by AA Amboseli Lodge, a unique experience where you sleep in the heart of the park amidst the clean Amboseli breeze. The game drive featured incredible views of elephants strolling through marshy land with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. Be sure to have your camera ready for some portrait-worthy pictures.
Finally, the seamless transition on Day 7 back to Nairobi Airport capped off an unforgettable adventure. Silver Sparks exceeded all expectations with their outstanding service and attention to detail. Abongo’s youthful yet mature nature has contributed to the success of Silver Sparks, and having a team like Kevin, Eric, and Peter adds to the quality they provide.
My only regret on this trip was not catching a glimpse of a leopard, but that just means I have a reason to return to Nairobi and experience another incredible safari with Silver Sparks.
Until we meet again, Abongo and Silver Sparks, Asante!

Excellent service through out!
This is our second time in Kenya and was our first time in Tanzania. We had 12days Serengeti, Maasai Mara, Tarangire, Amboseli Park. The safaris were all across from Maasai culture, game drive both in the evening and morning. I enjoyed morning game drive and a ballon ride in Maasai Mara reserve. Abongo was very kind, and went to great lengths to give us city tour, across the street. I do appreciate the reliability of Abongo, even when we were crossing the border of Tanzania and Kenya, he was present. I would not have expected that for a budget safari with Silver Spark Africa, will enjoy that much. Thank you Silver Spark!

Well experienced and organized Safari team with an excellent guide
We fully enjoyed the 6 Day Safari.
Everything worked perfectly and we felt so lucky and safe with Silverspark Safari and the team.
Even on request before arrival we could change the proposed accommodation at Lake Nakuru.
Highly recommended!

6 day best experience.
We arrived in Kenya late in the night and we found the driver still waiting for us even after three hours delay by our flight. We were taken good care from day one by Silver Spark Africa. We got to know Abongo in person and our drive David, so passionate safari guide, speaking good english. He took us through diverse landscapes on our way to Nakuru and even more diverse roads and guided us to fantastic sites and animals. He knew Maasai Mara park very well. In Lake Nakuru Park, we got to see lion climb a tree. We stayed at Jambo Mara , Lake Nakuru lodge and Aa Amboseli . All these lodges are are clean with good meals. I would highly recommend every one of them. Overall our staying in Kenya with Silver Spark Africa was one of the best time.

Fantastic experience through-out!
We had a wonderful safari experience with Silver Spark!
Communication with the Silver Spark team via email was always easy and swift. We appreciated that their price quote came with a detailed the itinerary, and that they were happy to adjust it based on our needs and wishes (e.g. for the accommodation). Also, online payment of the reservation fee felt simple and secure.
Upon our arrival to the Nairobi airport, we were given a warm welcome and kept company by several from the Silver Spark office team, while waiting for our driver to arrive. What a fun bunch! Just prepare to bring the rest of the payment in cash (USD) - that was the only thing we had not been informed of ahead of our arrival.
We were also hugely pleased with our driver David, who always went the extra mile to ensure that we see as much as possible during our game drives. His 10 years of experience in safari tours showed and was of great value to us.

Silver Sparks make dreams come true
Hello, I'm from Spain. I had always dreamed of doing a Safari but I couldn't find anyone to ride it as I wanted it. I contacted Silver Spark Africa Safaris through Safari Bookings.
What a great success!!!
How easy! How fast! How reliable! They were in touch with me all the time and customized my trip just as I had always dreamed!
I was provided with a guide in Spanish, Robert, an adorable man who is already part of our family. He took care of us and provided all the comforts and knowledge.
Abongo, thank you for your infinite patience and invaluable help! Thank you very much for making my dream come true and unforgettable.

Best tour guides in the industry!
Our tour guides David and Maluta on our 9 day safari through Kenya (Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Amboseli) and Tanzania (Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater) were incredible! They provided an amazing service and knew a lot about the best spots to find the animals during our trip. They were extremely professional and made sure we were well looked after throughout our trip.
The tour operator (Abongo) was ok. A few logistical issues throughout the trip which were not handled very well, and could have been dealt with more professionally, but overall we were happy with the service and the trip we had.
