Hello Kate. Sorry for the late response. Could you kindly send us an email with your request to our email address? Thank you :)
I just read your excellent review of your safari with Spirit of Kenya. We plan to take our granddaughter and her mother, our daughter, on an African Safari next summer after she graduates from high school. We went to Uganda and Rwanda last year with an Ugandan tour company, and although it was less expensive than booking through an American company, there were some issues. For one thing, our questions before the trip were not always answered adequately so there was a communication problem. Once there, we realized that our guide spoke English, but he was very hard to understand. Another disappointment was the vehicle. We had expected a safari vehicle, but ended up in an unfair-conditioned rattletrap for the entire trip. So just wondering if you had any of those problems dealing with Spirit of Kenya. Did you research any other tour companies that you also considered. Any info will be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for your time.

Hi, Regarding your queries, first of all let me say that which ever tour company you choose, make sure they are approachable and understanding. A customised tour is good for families as it takes care of individual needs. Group tours are binding with timings etc. spirit of Kenya and soul of Tanzania are very professional. They have 3types of packages which further can be customised.. budget, comfort and luxury. The accommodations are excellent with no complaints. Guides/drivers can be customised like English speaking, professional, knowledgeable, courteous etc. As far as the vehicles it is better to take the land cruiser as it is a sturdy car , comfortable and if necessary air conditioner..(which is hardly needed if you go between July-September the best time for migration). They give land cruisers in Tanzania However, you have to pay extra for land cruiser in Kenya. You are right that the mini vans are not updated and up to the mark! But eventually after you get to see the big five and many more , you tend to forget the discomfort. In Kenya you have to pay $150/- per day to upgrade to land cruiser. If you have older people it’s worth it! We can’t help the bad roads as Mara is a reserve and belongs to the Masai tribes! We didn’t contact any other tour company in either US or any other country. These two are the best and reliable! Venessa my manager at Kenya was very helpful! Aly our guide in Tanzania was outstanding, knowing everything!
We want to take our granddaughter on an African Safari after she graduates from high school next summer. We would like to spend about 10 to 12 days in Kenya and Tanzania and see as much wildlife as possible. I see many good reviews of Spirit of Kenya. I am wondering about the approximate cost for a private tour with 4 people. We prefer moderate to luxury accommodations and would enjoy staying in tents as well as lodges. Any advice about Spirit of Kenya or other tour operators would be appreciated.
