8 Days: Tsavo East National Park Amboseli, Nakuru, Maasai Mara Park

Our safari experience was truly incredible, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering a Kenya safari. We spent 8 days on safari and had a wonderful time throughout. Our driver, John, was exceptional kind, cheerful and always eager to help while ensuring we saw as much as possible. He played a big role in making our trip even more memorable. The only area that could use some improvement was the food during our first days at AA Lodge Mara, which did not quite meet expectations. However, the rest of the experience more than made up for it. The 8-day itinerary was perfect for us, offering a great balance of adventure and relaxation. The entire trip, including the balloon ride in the Maasai Mara, was well organized, comfortable, and very reasonably priced considering the high quality of service. Everything from accommodations to the additional activities we requested, was seamlessly arranged. Thank you to the team for such a fantastic and well-coordinated safari experience!

At first we were a bit hesitant to book directly with a local tour operator, but as soon as we arrived in Kenya the warm Welcoming of Abongo (the boss), Kevin and Edward erased all worries. Abongo is always available: it responds in a few minutes, is attentive to customer needs and looks for solutions for every request. Very competitive prices, thanks to the absence of intermediary agencies. Our driver Edward was impeccable: prudent, reliable driving, great respect for animals, kindness and promptness in resolving any unexpected. A true professional. The lodges chosen were from decent to great. In Kenya you have to know how to adapt to the local reality: if you are looking only for luxury 5-star hotels, maybe this is not the right trip. The tour was extraordinary: Tsavo, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara... breathtaking scenery, unforgettable sightings. An experience that I recommend without hesitation. I will definitely be back with Silver Spark for my next Kenya safari!

Our trip went very well, right from the start Silver Spark helped us. Special mention to Kepha and Abongo who made our trip really memorable. We booked an 8-day safari with Silver Spark Africa. Abongo, responds quickly to inquiries. This was my first safari in Africa, so I didn’t know what to expect: a competitive quote, excellent service, integrity, a reliable vehicle and a world class experience that is both unforgettable and safe all I could have asked for from them. We are patrons of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, so this safari was customized to allow us to spend time with foster elephant babies at both Ithumba and the Voi Stockade, as well as the Nairobi Nursery. Peter was also our driver, always punctual with our visitation schedule at the orphanages. Ithumba must be the only place on earth where one can view wild elephants in such large numbers as they mingle with the orphans and other support workers, such an extraordinary experience. We enjoyed several game drives in Tsavo West and East National Park. Peter, has a good eye and strong instinct when it comes to viewing wildlife. For anyone planning a Kenya / Tanzania safari, Silver Spark Africa should be your first contact.

Am happy to have travel with Silver Spark. Our itinerary was full on, going from Nairobi the capital city of Kenya to deepest park of Kenya Samburu National park, Lake Naivasha, Maasai Mara and cross to Serengeti in Tanzania. Each of the parks had their own special appeal and animal adaptation. Our drivers Paul was excellent. Despite the rainy seasonal rain at night and morning, the experience of the guides allowed us to tick off the big five animals and have some unforgettable experiences with lion, hyena, elephant wildcat and Zebra. A drive did not go by without something that took our breath away. A real adventure, exploring Africa. Perfect accommodation, I love Elsamere Hotel in lake Naivasha.

Working with the entire team from SSAS woow! Abongo and Joel ware excellent in helping us prepare our trip. Our trip was fun. We stayed at Wajeei Camp on the first day to Maasai mara national reserve. Kepha was our guide. He was knowledgeable, thoughtful and a great driver. We went on 3 games drives through the park and each one was unique. He knows the area well and has great relationships with the other guides which seems essential for a great experience. We used a van to save on cost and the van was more comfortable. We found the van experience to be perfect for a short safari. We spent more time standing for the view as the windows are shorter than a safari jeep, but the comfort level was comparable. I must admit this company gets good review for a reason. At first i was a little nervous having them as my choice but i tell you i enjoyed everything. Based on our experience with the tour operator, I would recommend that you give Silver Spark Africa Safaris the chance to make your dream come true. Cheer SSAS!!!

I would like to thank Silver Spark Africa Safaris and in particular our guide for an amazing day that helped us make memories. Silver Spark Africa Safaris changed our vehicle to a 4 x 4 because of poor weather which was a top move. We thoroughly enjoyed the interactive experience of the Mara national park, followed by the humbling story and viewing of the baby Elephants at Sheldricks just next to the Nairobi National Park. After taking our lunch James took us to Nairobi National Park and we were lucky enough to see big 5 animals, in only a couple of hours, we saw Rhino and Buffalo as well as other animals. I would strongly recommend Silver Spark Africa Safaris and James and we promised to do our next trip with them upon visiting Kenya.
