Amazing Safari Experience with Spirit of Kenya!
We had an incredible time during our trip with Spirit of Kenya. The first two days on a safari trip at Lake Nakuru were absolutely fabulous. Our guide, Bonny, ensured we saw as many animals as possible, including lions, rhinos, giraffes, and even a leopard! Bonny's knowledge and dedication really enhanced our experience, as he took the time to explain everything and made sure we saw the animals we were most excited about. Big shoutout to him for making those days unforgettable!
The Nairobi city tour was equally enjoyable. Our guide, Gideon, was wonderful and made the entire experience insightful and fun. He provided us with lots of interesting facts and went above and beyond to make the day special.
While we were exploring places, museums, markets, he waited for us at the car to make sure that all our stuff are safe.
We've traveled a lot, but this time with Spirit of Kenya was exceptional. Despite minimal email and message exchanges, everything went smoothly. The logistics were flawless, and the guides were always there ahead of time, ready and waiting for us.
Thank you for an amazing trip, and I highly recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone looking for a seamless and memorable experience!

Unforgettable Experience with Gifted African Adventures!
I recently completed the 7-day Lemosho Route trek up Kilimanjaro with Gifted African Adventures, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!
From the moment I arrived, the team was incredibly welcoming and professional. Our guides were not only knowledgeable about the mountain and its ecology but also attentive to our needs, ensuring we were safe and comfortable throughout the trek. They provided excellent insights into the local culture and environment, enriching our experience even further.
The trek itself was absolutely breathtaking. The diverse landscapes we encountered—from lush rainforests to stunning alpine deserts—were nothing short of spectacular. Each day brought new challenges and awe-inspiring views, making every step worth it.
The support staff, including porters, were phenomenal. Their hard work and dedication made our journey smoother, allowing us to focus on the climb and enjoy the stunning surroundings. The meals provided were delicious and exceeded my expectations, fueling us for the day ahead.
Reaching Uhuru Peak was a dream come true, and the sense of achievement I felt was amplified by the incredible support from the entire Gifted African Adventures team.
Overall, my experience with Gifted African Adventures was unforgettable. If you’re considering a trek up Kilimanjaro, I wholeheartedly recommend choosing this company. They truly made this adventure of a lifetime possible!
Thank you, Gifted African Adventures, for an amazing journey!

Kenya Safari Tour
We contacted Nevill before the trip. He was a very nice guy. He answered all our questions. Sometimes WeChat replies were slow, but we just needed to ask a few more times. He would help us confirm whether the hotel was available without paying a deposit. After confirmation, we paid the deposit. The balance was paid in person after landing. It was kato certified so it was more reliable. Our guide was James. He drove very steadily, paid special attention to avoiding potholes, had a good eye for finding animals, and actively helped us communicate with other local guides we met on the road to exchange information and find animals. However, we needed to take the initiative to ask and communicate about animals or routes. It was not suitable for single friends. Double friends or as long as there were double people in a team, we could go for it. He was very reliable.

A perfect safari in Kenya
I was happy to have the perfect Safari with extra miles. I saw so many animals here, they were so alive and cute. Joseph was amazing, he was very prompt in responding to messages before and during the trip and helped me with a lot of difficulties. In addition, our guide Fred was wonderful, very professional and experienced, showing us all the animals we wanted to see, including lions, hunting leopards and cheetahs, and he was a very helpful friend, taking care of us all the way and answering our questions, thank you very much. While in Masai Mara, Fred told the hotel that it was my birthday and the hotel gave me a complete birthday surprise and I had a birthday cake on the prairie. If you come to Kenya Safari, this is a very good choice and I recommend them to you.

Unforgettable Tanzania Safari: Serengeti Wonders and Ngorongoro's Majesty
My family and I recently embarked on a 7-day safari adventure through Tanzania, exploring the breathtaking Serengeti and the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater. We witnessed a breathtaking lion pride hunt. The guide is very professional, who helps us collect all the "big five".

Super Reliable, Honest, Professional
5 Star Safari!! From start to finish, all aspects of Meru Slopes was excellent. Gift Tembo was very responsive & timely in all our planning & payment communications. He even came to our final hotel in Arusha to hear first hand from us our experience & review. He asked for ways to improve as well. Since we were 100% satisfied, we could not offer any improvements.
Our safari guide & driver, Douglas, is an amazing guide with many years of experience in Tanzanian wildlife & parks. He is an exceptionally safe driver - we always felt comfortable & confident in the Land Cruiser. Every morning we found the truck to be clean & well serviced - so important on those rough, dusty roads of the parks.
We loved hearing his stories about the wildlife & Tanzanian culture - he was able to answer every question, providing a rich & informative experience. We especially loved that he shared his personal stories about his life & family - it made us feel that he trusted us too. He has the most wonderful smile & cheerful attitude. He worked so hard all day with only our interests in mind. We felt his joy as he experienced our's. Also - he is very friendly & we could see the friendship he shared with the other guides. This was important for us as the guides are thus willing to share the location of wildlife in the parks.
Douglas is an incredible guide, so amazing to just watch how he approached the wildlife. He knows the wildlife behavior so well that we watched in awe as he positioned the truck in just the right spot for us to get an up close view. With his years of experience he knows the park habitats so well he could anticipate what we would find. He would gently change the position of the truck to give us ample viewing & photo time.
Though we were not expecting to go to the northern Serengeti, Meru Slopes offered to change our itinerary because the tail end of the Great Migration was still active. The change gave us the opportunity to see the incredible behavior of the zebra & wildebeest as they nervously approached various Mara River shore options. Douglas was patient yet responsive to changing our location as the herds changed their's.
All of our lodging & meals exceeded our expectations. We had fabulous service, comfortable rooms, and healthy tasty meals.
This was the first safari for my husband & it was a special delight for me to see how thrilled he was with the safari. I've been on many safaris and was equally thrilled.

Anwsome Experience
I had such a wonderful day in the Serengeti Park with my guide Mosses from Ngao Safaris. He took care and made sure I get to see the animals I most wanted to see. He spend some time looking for them without giving up even if it took more time. Thank you for this amazing experience ❤️

Wilderness encounter!
I have been on few safaris (South Africa and Kenya) already and i absolutely loved it but since Tanzania is a capital of SAFARIS, I had to travel to this beautiful country to see it for myself. I can tell now, that the beauty of the Ngorongoro crater (driving down the crater, sun coming up :)) and the endless expanse of Serengeti, really caputured my heart and i understand now why Tanzania is the COUNTRY to travel to for safari.
Service by Gift, was excellent. Everything was well organised on time. He did everything possible to show us as much wildlife as possible. Accommodation was comfortable and food was yummy! Great job Gift, we really enjoyed our safari with you!

Great holiday booking, lack of support during holiday
I'll start by saying that we had an amazing experience and loved our holiday. Secret Namibia were helpful and patient with our requirements and booked an amazing trip for us. What left us sad was the lack of care and support that we received in the immediate run up to the trip and during it. We had to ask for a detailed itinerary in the days before our departure (which turned out to be little more than a list of where we were booked ie it didn't include any useful information about transfers, timings, what to expect, what tipping was etc etc), and we were told we would receive a printed version on our arrival (we never received anything). They suggested a transfer from our hotel in Windhoek the morning of our departure, for which we were charged the equivalent of £70 for a 5 min ride in a friend's car where the mess had to be moved off the back seat to allow us to sit down, and were we were just dumped in the airport car park with no further instructions. When we had delays and problems during the trip our pilot and his company had to solve the issues himself and Secret Namibia contacts us to 2 days later to say they hoped we were ok, but with no apology for non contact. For a trip of a lifetime, Secret Namibia are the only part that we feel let down with. Go to Namibia, but perhaps find another agency to book it through.

Amazing experience in Kruger
We are really happy with the company, from the begining Rhys answered all our doubts quickly giving all the information that we needed. The safari planning was perfect.
The safari has been amazing, Tommy is an incredible guide, he has a lot of knowledges about the country, the animals, the park… He tried to make it possible for us to see as many animals as possible, including the Big five, and he got it thanks to his effort. The camp sites were very good, the food quality… In summary everything was wonderful.
If we have the opportunity to come back to South Africa, you'll be the first option
