Would give 6 stars if I could
Just returned from a 9 day Kenya safari, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Firstly, the customer service was amazing. They were very responsive and helpful in planning and choosing accommodations (which were very nice). They also included pick-up and drop-off at the airport, which we didn't expect.
Charles, our guide, is a great person in general, and an excellent wildlife spotter. He was also a safe driver, which is a high compliment as I don't do well as a rider. How he finds his way around these big reserves is a mystery, but Charles made our safari that much better.
We saw the 'big five' and so much more. It was like watching a documentary live. We highly recommend Spirit of Kenya!

unforgettable safari expedients
We chose eastern vacations from the internet and contacted them. Emediately we got response from James k.Myovi. The information he gave us was very good .we booked a 3days safari to Governors camp by air. We used Mombasa air . We found joash our driver waiting for us in Masai Mara airstrip.He had 2 other tourists in his vehicle and proceeded for a game drive. We saw some elephants and antelops on our way to the camp.
We were received very well at Governors. Afternoon game drive was good with some few animals. Day 2 & 3 of our safari we saw cheatah with cabs ,lions and all other members of the big five.
The most interesting was that during our checkout we were offered a bottle of wine. We were told that this was at a courtesy of eastern vacations booking.
When we returned to Mombasa we were received well by a staff from eastern vacations and trafered to our hotel. We would like to recommend this company to any one looking for a reliable safari company in Kenya.

Look Nowhere Else for a fantastic, full service safari experience!!
George was absolutely wonderful. Replied to all my queries and emails very quickly. He was very patient to work with us on the exact, customized safari vacation that we wanted and within our budget. He arranged absolutely everything: hotels, in country flights, game drives, everything. We stayed at his Mawe Tented Camp in the Serengeti. Superb facilities and customer service. Full on luxury camping and right in the middle of all the action. He has the best guides who are experienced, knowledgeable and customer service oriented. The best one: Boney! Request him. He picked us up at the airport and stayed with us the entire time until he dropped us off to fly to Zanzibar. He could spot a cheetah in waist high grass hundreds of yards away. He has been doing it for so long, he just knows what to look for in the habitat. We saw the big five thanks to him. He was super reliable and safe. We haven't stopped talking about this trip and George. Highly recommend!

Ripped Off!
Do not use this company, it is no longer reputable! We booked a Safari through them in Oct 2017 and they kept our deposit and didn't provide the services advertised. We lost £'000's and had to pay someone else when we arrived in the country, causing my family great anxiety and delay and ruining our holiday. I believe the owner in Ibrahim Kalule - do NOT trust this man, he is a criminal!

A really well organized trip, end to end!
Our international flights were booked, we were met at every airport and shuttled to our hotels so completely stress free and safe.
We had an amazing safari adventure in the Masai Mara at Little Elewana camp on the Sand Rive where the service was top notch and the guiding was excellent, saw all of the big five!
Went on to Rwanda for four days stay in an amazing lodge and did two days of gorilla trekking all arranged through Dana East African Safari by Daniel and it was seamless and an amazing adventure.

Masai Mara in all its beauty
We did a 3 day safari with Kenan Travels and the service was excellent. They picked us up and gave us water for all the 3 days. We stayed at Sopa Lodge and Kenan organised the packed lunches for the safaris with them. The evening, whole day and early morning safaris we did were great, we managed to see all the animals from very close thanks to our guide. They were very punctual and well organised. The only thing that could be improved is maybe a more comfortable van.

Fantastic safari experience
During four days in October, our family visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Lion King Adventures. Our guide and driver Salim and our cook Yusufu took excellent care of us, always with a smile. We spent one night in a lodge, and two nights in a tent in the heart of wilderness, which was a wonderful experience. Besides the gorgeous landscapes, we were able to observe a large variety of animals: Elephants, giraffes, lions, cheetahs, hippos, hyenas, crocodiles, and even a python and a serval. We really enjoyed this trip, and we would like to thank our lovely and competent accompanists.
We particularly appreciated Lion King Adventures' individualized advice and arrangements, as well as their flexibility to adapt to our needs and last minute changes.
We highly recommend this organizer for your ultimate safari experience!

A stunning experience in the warm heart of Africa. Animals in wildlife, local food, local costumes
Africa Wild Truck informed us properly on what to do before the travel, what to bring with us, what to expect from our journey.
During the travel the travel the staff did everything to satisfy personal requests and to answer to our questions about culture, zoology, food, money and so on.
The experience was more than positive because we had the right time to explore, to rest and to enjoy.
Last but not the least people I traveled with (staff+other costumers) were really interesting human beings: we shared opinions and ideas; making the inside of the jeep as interesting as the outside.
PS
we had a course of photography included in the price :-)

Affordabble Safari with good with price for lodge & Camping
Our Tanzania holiday with locally owned, tour Operator Taste Of Afrika Safaris, Seka and his team were very helpful to arrange our budgeted camping safari. They were honest, flexible, fun, and very informative. We were so impressed with Gabriel our Guide how knowledgeable is with animal, plants and bird life. We saw everything even Big 5 Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant and Buffalo and that was our main dream. We had mixed safari Lodge and camping we had a chance to have experience to stay 2 nights at Simba Campsite inside the National Park and 1 night at Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge, we highly recommend them for your dream Safari.You will not be disappointed at all. Thanks a lot once again.
