5.0/5We really enjoyed our trip with Spirit of Kenya. We took the 5-day safari and chose a Toyota Land Cruiser. Our guide, Charles, was excellent, he was friendly, knowledgable and was great helping us spot the animals as we toured around. I'd definitely recommend the Land Cruiser option, it's so much more flexible than some of the other transport we saw people using.

We had an amazing time in Kenya with Spirit of Kenya tour. Our expectations were far exceeded. Our favorite stay was in the Masai Mara. The proximity to nature and the beautiful green park truly astonished us. Lake Nakuru and Naivasha were also stunning, with their incredible animal diversity, breathtaking landscapes, and luxurious hotels. The food was always so tasty. The drive to Amboseli was quite long, but seeing so many elephants gathered together in the swamps along with my personal highlight, -a python- made it absolutely worth it. Overall, we could not be more thankful for Charles -our guide-, who was our feet, ears, and eyes throughout the entire week. He is a very knowledgeable guide with a kind heart! Everything went perfectly, and we truly appreciate the tour provider being so responsive over the past few months. I highly recommend Spirit of Kenya as your tour provider in your next trip in Kenya!

Did a 3D2N private tour to Maasai Mara. From the get go, i loved that it was completely customisable based on your schedule, to your desired comfort level for accommodation and even the vehicle! what i loved about them was the price transparency- you knew exactly what you were paying for. on the day of my tour, i was told the road to my accommodation was blocked, and we’d had to shift to an alternative one. Both the company and my guide handled it with such expediency and professionalism. I ended up staying somewhere just as comfortable, and was even refunded the price difference. The game drives were needless to say, amazing. My guide took the time to explain the history / culture of Masai Mara in great detail, and the species that we encountered, big or small. It was amazing; worth every dollar i paid. I’ll be back again ❤️

Spending five whole days immersed in the wild, four in Masai Mara and one in Lake Nakuru, left us buzzing with excitement. The tour exceeded our every expectation. Despite a minor hiccup with a workers' strike at Nairobi Airport, the overall trip was impeccably organized. Nothing could’ve prepared us for how close we’d get to the animals. Being a couple of meters away from lions and elephants felt surreal, like the wildlife documentary suddenly let us step inside. Luck was definitely on our side; we managed to see all the Big Five, each sighting more exciting than the last. On top of that, we encountered plenty of creatures we hadn’t even dared to hope for—cheetahs lounging in the tall grass, flamingos painting Nakuru pink, small mammals darting around as if they were performing for us. Every drive brought some unexpected surprise. Our accommodations were on point. Zinwa Bush in Nakuru was quiet, clean, calm in the best way, and the food hit the spot after long game drives. Slope Mara delivered nicely too—comfortable, welcoming. I'd like to thank Gerardo, the sales manager, meticulously planned every aspect of the trip. This had been in the works for a good three months, and the itinerary was solid gold. Also Gideon, our guide and driver. His experience was obvious from the start: spotting animals at impossible distances, picking clever routes that brought us close without disturbing anything, handling the vehicle with calm confidence.
