Amazing Safari Experience in Rwanda, we loved traveling with Isaac and Alicia!
I traveled to Rwanda Wild Sage to Akagera and Volcanoes National Park, and they picked the best accommodation for us. We stayed at Karenge in Akagera, and Sambora in Volcanoes, and honestly, we couldn't have asked for better properties. They were both 10/10. Isaac was an incredible safari guide, and Alicia was amazing at doing all of the organization for us before we arrived. I could not recommend a better tour operator in Rwanda for your safari needs!

A lifetime experience
A dear friend and I discovered Hirwa through a review of the One&Only property, and from the very beginning, our experience was exceptional. Daphne thoughtfully helped us design a fully customized itinerary that included trekking to see both chimpanzees and gorillas. Her professionalism and communication was excellent leaving no surprises. The most expensive part were the chimp and gorilla permits but the hotel selections were all very reasonable with lovely accommodations. Levis was our guide throughout the entire journey, which spanned nearly two weeks and concluded with a safari in Akagera National Park. We left Rwanda feeling as though we had made lifelong friends and truly experienced the Land of a Thousand Hills to its fullest.

Perfect privat tour!
We are extremely satisfied with the tour! Everything was perfectly organized, and our guide and driver, Maila, was a competent, friendly, and multi-talented professional. Thanks to his coordination with other drivers and his expertise in flora and fauna, we were able to see every animal we wanted—and even more!
We saw an incredible number of lions, and upon request, we were even able to visit a Maasai village. He truly anticipated our every wish. The accommodations were also top-notch, and we appreciated being able to choose them in advance.
The drive was occasionally bumpy due to the conditions of the park roads, but thanks to Maila’s driving skills and the comfortable Jeep (stocked with chilled drinks), the experience was always very pleasant. Thank you for everything!"

Just wow from the beginning till the end
Thank you for such an incredible safari experience. The service was truly outstanding, and your attention to the smallest details made everything feel so special and seamless. It was definitely above my expectations in every way. I’m leaving with a heavy heart, but also with beautiful memories that I’ll carry with me for a long time.

Unforgettable trip ❤️
Amazing experience! We did a customized/private 8-day safari (including one rest day). Everything was excellent – from the organization to the accommodations. We couldn’t have wished for a better driver & guide than Maila: he was extremely friendly and highly knowledgeable. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife – including all of the Big Five. This is a trip we will definitely never forget. Absolute recommendation!

More than 5 stars
We had an absolute joy of an experience with Spirit of Kenya. Our planning process was flawless and organized with Gerardo. He answered every single question (there were a lot) and created the perfect itinerary. Our flight had to be moved due to weather changes and they were able to accommodate us at last minute and we still got to do everything we wanted. When we got to Kenya, our airport transfer was waiting for us and drove us to our hotel booked through Spirit of Kenya. The hotel selection was nice, clean and everything we expected. We did the city tour in Nairobi and again - it was organized very well and super fun! We learned so much and saw so many animals.
Our three day safari in Maasai Mara was unforgettable. Our guide (Raphael) and his student (Steve) were AMAZING. They made every moment great and magical. Everything was super organized and punctual. They explained everything to us throughout the trip. The long drive there and back went by in a flash because of all the things they were sharing/pointing out. We learned about plants, history, culture, landscape, animals - the list doesn't end.
Our camp which was beautiful with 10/10 hospitality and food. The game drives were insane - our guides showed us SO MANY ANIMALS. We saw a leopard (very rare!), tons of lions including cubs, elephants, wildebeest, cheetahs, hippos, zebras, giraffes and more! We got so close and were able to take amazing photos. They were always looking out for us and ways to give us the best experience that we could have. We are so grateful for everything that they did.
As an anxious person - I felt very safe and well taken care of throughout the entire trip. If you are nervous about booking or spending money, I would say that it's 10000% worth it and to DO IT.
This review doesn't capture how magical and unreal this trip was for us and we couldn't have had that without Raphael, Steve and Spirit of Kenya!

Samora was great, quick, attentive to our needs and requests
From booking where we discussed accommodation options to airport pick up and drop offs, everything was done for us to be comfortable and happy. If we wanted to get up early to see lions, it was possible. If we wanted to eat later to have more time in the parks, it was possible. Our guide, Emmanuel, was very knowledgeable on all animals and carried binoculars and a reference book to provide maximum info. I really recommend to travel with Samora
