This was our second trip in Africa we decided to have a 7-day safari across Naivasha National Park, Samburu National Park, Amboseli and Nakuru National Park was a truly unique experience. Our guide, David proved to be experienced, professional, and adept at answering all our questions. The camps were distinctive, with a with different meals but consistently delicious meals. The safari was also a complete success. We saw all the Big 5 up close, a cheetah hunt and breathtaking natural spectacles. The highlight was definitely camping next to elephants in Amboseli. Thank you, Silver Spark Africa!

This is our second time in Kenya and was our first time in Tanzania. We had 12days Serengeti, Maasai Mara, Tarangire, Amboseli Park. The safaris were all across from Maasai culture, game drive both in the evening and morning. I enjoyed morning game drive and a ballon ride in Maasai Mara reserve. Abongo was very kind, and went to great lengths to give us city tour, across the street. I do appreciate the reliability of Abongo, even when we were crossing the border of Tanzania and Kenya, he was present. I would not have expected that for a budget safari with Silver Spark Africa. Team offered us best out of our tight budget, kudos to Silver Spark!

In the month of June, we started our safari with Silver Spark Africa Safaris for a 7-Day Amboseli Park, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara Park. This was a dream enjoyable safari. Our guide succeeded in all corners of the park without getting stuck even after the heavy rain in Maasai Mara Park. We enjoyed big five animals across Maasai mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli park. John our guide was friendly attentive to the road and on the radio call happenings, doing his best to make us enjoy our experience and knew a lot about all the animals. I do recommend Silver Spark and do book a tour with Abongo, well informed for your safaris.

We are travelling to Kenya Safari for the first time. Abongo, organized and helped us to plan the most amazing safari experience. He was very helpful to respond to all our question before and during the trip. Our guide and driver, Peter was good. We got lots more than we could imagine during our stay in Kenya. Everything accommodation were perfect. Peter knew where to find the animals, driving across Maasai Mara like his own compound, showing how experience he was to his work. He tried to show us everything he loves and to pass his passion and knowledge to us. We manage to see all big five animals. The team under silver spark made a great vicinity for us. Thank you!

We booked our Safari with Silver Spark Africa last minute during the travelling season. Kepha and Abongo were very responsive and also accommodated our budget by creating a new plan us. Our guide David was good on his driving skill, keen and more observing. At every stop in each park, David, told us about the animals and showing us all the different between plants. He had a minivan with a pop-up roof 4x4 a four-wheel drive so comfortable and we got to see all the animals. On the last day, due to heavy rain, we could move so fast but he made it work and dropped us off directly to the airport after passing by the office to see Abongo for the last time. Our accommodation. Lodges/camps we stayed at were also way better than we expected from the reviews, and that was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend their five-star service.

The Silver Spark team Mr Abongo and our guide Peter provided a very professional efficient safe and value for money experience. This trip was amazing - the animals and sights were spectacular and the accommodation was all good. We saw all the big 5 and much more - and this trip whilst involving a lot of driving meant we saw the rare Grevies Zebras and Reticulated Giraffes in Samburu, Hippos, Rhinos, Lions and wonderful birds in Nakuru and loads more in the awe inspiring huge landscapes of the Mara. Wonderful experience. Thank you

Our eleven-day experience to East Africa, Tanzania and Kenya ending up in Zanzibar with Silver Spark Africa Safaris was a dream come true. We enjoyed every bit of the safaris. Abongo ensured everything was running smoothly no delays, my assigned guide Peter, was very friendly and welcoming he also maintained the time. The morning drives were so amazing, beautiful animal sceneries in both Kenya and Tanzania. It formed the best game drive ever, in the morning in both Amboseli and Masai Mara, thanks to Peter. Abongo was always available via call or mail, he made everything easy for us by answering all our questions instantly during our trip and before our trip. I would like to recommend Silver Spark Africa and use their team and services again without hesitation going back to Kenya.

We arranged a 15 night safari to Kenya and Tanzania with Silver spark Safari. We were quite late arranging this but Obongo made it easy and answered all our questions, there were a lot! We were picked up at the airport and taken to our accommodation for the first night where Obongo had made sure they would have some dinner still waiting for us, despite it being very late. The next morning David came to meet us and we set off to Masai mara. On arriving we did a walk to the local masai village which was a great experience. The next day was our first game drive at Masai mara and we had the most incredible day, we saw all the animals we could have hoped for, besides the illusive rhino. It felt like the action did not stop all day and David was so knowledgeable about all the animals and birds. From here we travelled to Lake Nakuru where we had an evening game drive and saw flamingos, lions and rhino. The next day we travelled on to Lake Elementaita where did a bird watching walk with Zachary, who had amazing knowledge and bird call skills! We travelled on to Amboseli and had two days here and saw so many elephants, as well as lots of other animals, with the backdrop of Kilimanjiro. From here we travelled to the border to cross over to Tanzania. We were very sad to say goodbye to David who had taken such good care of us. We met our new guide Maurice and were also pleased to see Obongo and Soombe who had come to ensure the border crossing went smoothly! We had a short game drive in Tarangire with the beautiful baobao trees and then moved on to the Serengeti. We had an incredible stay at Tukaone Luxury Serengeti Camps for two nights. These were luxury and we were very lucky to be able to watch the sun set followed by a storm from bed on our first evening here. Again we saw so many animals whilst here. We did have some trouble with the vehicle which required a stop at a garage in the serengeti, but this could not be helped. We then spent our last day of safari at Ngorongoro which was perhaps the best scenery of our trip with so many animals to be seen. From here we headed to Arusha to catch our flight to Zanzibar. We were again met by Soombe to ensure getting through the airport went to plan. We then had an amazing four nights at Zanzibar retreat hotel. This was such a beautiful place to stay right on the beach with a small number of guests and incredible food. We added an extra night to our stay in Zanzibar and wish we had added more! Overall our whole trip was more than we could have wished for. The service from Silver spark was great, from Obongo being so helpful whilst organising everything and the care we received from him and Soombe making sure our travels went smoothly throughout our trip. Our guides were fantastic and it was great getting to know them whilst learning about the animals as well as local culture and language. David and Maurice were also great when we got unwell during the trip, checking in on how we were and getting us to pharmacies for help with this. Whilst this trip does involve a lot of driving/travelling we were blown away by the landscapes and amount of animals we saw and all of the scenery in different parks. We cannot recommend them more highly and hope to be able to come back to do another trip with you soon!

Amazing people and parks with a wide variety of big five animals. I was lucky to come across the Cheetah on the first afternoon drive and lots of many other animals. Our driver, David, became a family on the first day from airport pick up, we had stops on the route to take coffee and pictures with a lot of chat on the history about the Rift Valley escarpment. When we arrived at Elemtaita lodge we were welcomed warmly. We did a 7-day tour which allowed me to view only three park Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Elementaita. Also, my first experience in Kenya so I would think it was sufficient but I need a second trip with Silver Spark Africa. Will definitely returns for longer periods. It is recommended if you are looking for starter park in Kenya, do start with Maasai Mara. This is unforgettable trip!

We had an incredible trip! The only flaw in the trip was the payment process. Unfortunately, for Canadians, none of the available payment service options worked for us e.g., Wise & Revolut. These apps do not work with Canadian banks. The other option was paying in cash, which was something we were not comfortable with, as this was the most expensive trip we ever took, and didn't feel comfortable carrying that much cash in our pocket, really for any trip honestly. Based on this, I wasn't confident in how the trip would turn out, but here I am still leaving a 5 star review as I was stressed about the payment process at the beginning of the trip. . Now for the pros! Our driver David deserves the biggest acknowledgement of them all. He was so much more than a driver, and felt like a family member. He was immensely caring of my husband when he become sick during our trip, and our relationship felt more personal that business related. Personally as someone who travels a lot, I find it exhausting to always be seen as a tourist. David never made us feel this way and I hope to keep in contact with him in the future. If you want a more personal experience with your guide, I couldn't give a higher rating for David. Our driver Waziri in Tanzania was also fantastic, and always made us feel safe and has many years of experience as a guide in Tanzania. His knowledge of all the wildlife was plentiful and had lots of good information along the routes. I personally left Africa gaining weight after this trip. I do not eat meat but all the accommodations had plenty of veg friendly options. I will be honest that I went in with relatively low expectations food wise, but was immensely satisfied. Keep in mind you are traveling in a third world country. All accommodations were lovely and very different which kept the trip interesting. Both AA Lodges we stayed at were lovely and had a real authentic African vibe to them. The lodge at Lake Nakuru was also beautiful. Personally, I felt two days here would be preferred instead of staying at Elementaita Lake. We also were never offered the hot-spring for a relaxing dip which we were looking forward to since so much time in spent in the car. I believe the itinerary needs a bid of amending. The nicest hotel we stayed at was for sure the Heart & Soul Lodge. It was the most modern hotel and we had a romantic dinner on the rooftop under the stars. Even though this was the most upscale accommodation, I am grateful for the diverse selection of hotel choices, because an Africa trip would not feel authentic without the lodges this tour provided. The most humble accommodation we stayed and definitely the most rustic was within Serengeti park. We absolutely loved this experience sleeping in the center of the park in a tent, hearing all the wildlife outside. I can't speak highly enough of the staff at Tukaone Luxury Serengeti Camps. We spent one evening just chatting about life with the staff, and you could genuinely feel how much they love their jobs working within Serengeti. Our trip was booked very last minute, so the typical accommodation in Zanzibar was not available to us. Our hotel was beautiful but was a "dry" alcohol-free hotel. We were quite disappointed about this, as this vacation was our honeymoon, and the beach part of the trip is where we really wanted to unwind and relax and celebrate. Luckily, the hotel beside was not dry, so we were able to enjoy some beverages there. Pro tip, ask a local, he also may be able to help ;). All together, I'd say that this trip was incredible and quite literally life-changing. I really look forward to traveling back to Africa, and would highly recommend this package as a whole.

I had an amazing experience with Silver Spark Africa Safaris on a two-week Kenya & Tanzania safari, the entire trip was extremely seamless and without any major issues - Abongo made all of the park and hotel arrangements and my tour guides David and Waziri were extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife and made my entire trip quite enjoyable. My two week tour hit the major destinations of Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Serengeti while also hitting some of the other surprisingly amazing smaller destinations like Ngorongoro and Lake Nakuru. Trip ended with a three night stay in Zanzibar to unwind after a busy yet fruitful safari. I didn’t know where to begin when I started out so I’m glad I had Abongo to plan and arrange everything for me - do not expect five stars from your hotels but they were all in the least secure, sufficiently comfortable and with a good selection and quality of food. If you don’t have two weeks I think you could still get a complete safari experience by focusing in on any of the big three destinations mentioned, but my personal recommendation would be to go with either Maasai Mara or Serengeti for the richest experience.

This private 6-days Safari was absolutely stunning! Always smiling and laughing with our guide because it was a dream come true for my family friend the four of us. Would recommend Silver Spark Africa Safaris to everyone who is looking for a unique and really personal safari experience, which is not commercial at all.

wonderful experience，very professional guide and very lucky to see not only all big five and way much more than expect. nice arrangement of all activities， good hotel good food good safari， definitely to be recommend！

We started out as novices and Abongo from Silver spark helped us plan and execute almost exactly what I had in mind when I started out to visit East Africa ! We had a wide variety of Parks to visit ,saw a great variety of landscapes and the vehicles which were allotted were pretty goodeven if they were slightly old ! Accomodations were also a wide variety from the very budget Fanaka camp at Manyara to the lovely Kibo safari camp at Amboseli and the wonderful experience of waking up inside the Serengeti in the Kon Tiki camp! However even the budget accomodation was good and scrupulously clean ! Abongo was very easy to deal with and went out of his way to arrange for some transport we needed at Zanzibar to visit Chumbe ! My only regret on this trip was that we were to stay at Azure Mara Pride Inn which is inside the Mara near the Talek river and at the last minute that was changed to Jambo mara which is about 2 hours out of the Mara due to bad roads and that definitely made for a poorer experience ! On the whole however we had a wonderful rich and fulfilling experience and it was planned from start to finish by silver spark african safaris ! Thank you Abongo !

We arrived in Kenya late in the night and we found the driver still waiting for us even after three hours delay by our flight. We were taken good care from day one by Silver Spark Africa. We got to know Abongo in person and our drive David, so passionate safari guide, speaking good english. He took us through diverse landscapes on our way to Nakuru and even more diverse roads and guided us to fantastic sites and animals. He knew Maasai Mara park very well. In Lake Nakuru Park, we got to see lion climb a tree. We stayed at Jambo Mara , Lake Nakuru lodge and Aa Amboseli . All these lodges are are clean with good meals. I would highly recommend every one of them. Overall our staying in Kenya with Silver Spark Africa was one of the best time.
