The sights of Masai cannot be experienced in just one day! enjoy tea, coffee and cookies in the lodge after an early morning wake-up call before setting out for a game drive in the reserve. Early Full Day Game is the most popular game viewing time, with the low temperatures providing a favorable atmosphere for both the game and the viewer. Lions, cheetahs and leopards roam the vast grasslands in search of their next meal - maybe an unsuspecting impala or a small warthog. Whatever the players, the spectacle of nature unfolding is always awe inspiring! After your early game drive, return to the lodge to enjoy a sumptuous breakfast before heading out on the afternoon drive.

An unforgettable journey.
We were a family of 4 that did 12 days in Kenya and Tanzania, we had the best time. We really recommend Silver Spark Africa. We felt safe and taken care of the whole time during our safari. Abongo and his team really made traveling really easy, we had nothing to plan and coordinate and we had freedom to decide and choose on our meals as to what we wanted to prioritize. Our guide, Peter was very professional and informative. Recommended hotels were great. Before arriving Abongo really made great research and follow ups for us, on what we wanted. And when there was the need to make some small changes, he did so quickly and effectively. On arrival to Kenya, we were catered to hand and foot. Knowledge and friendly guide in Tanzania, Waziri really looking for us to experience the best of it all. Overall, for our 12 days we were able to enjoy the adventure of discovering animals without thinking about anything else, knowing we were in great hands. We highly recommend the safaris for both couples and group trips.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your feedback. We are extremely value your writing’s and duly consider your rating and viewpoint on our general service. We bound to improve and keep the safaris service up to its five stars. It is amazing that you have wonderful things to say about the beauty, comfort and conveniences of booking with Silver Spark Africa Safaris ltd. We appreciate your recommendations and stars on the safari service rating. Thank you!

Unforgettable Journey Through East Africa.
When planning for an Africa safaris,you have to toil on the choice of Safari company to use over several lists of them. We have been in longest conversation via emails but it all came true for our safari when we met Abongo at the Airport in Nairobi. At that moment, our journey with Silver Spark Africa began, this 12-day safari felt like stepping into a nature documentary only this time, we were living it. Serengeti was simply breathtaking. Endless golden plains dotted with zebras, wildebeest, and big cats in action. We witnessed a lion hunt at sunrise, an unforgettable moment that will stay with us forever. Our camp was well positioned for game drives and offered surreal stargazing at night with a campfire in the middle of the campsite. After days on dusty safari trails in Kenya and Tanzania, Zanzibar was a perfect tropical contrast. We relaxed on white sand beaches, explored historic Stone Town aided by the hotel manager, Jan and savored fresh seafood as the sun set over the Indian Ocean. It was the perfect ending to an epic adventure, we could not ask for anything more than the experience we had during this particular safari. The package we choose strikes the perfect balance for us, thrilling wildlife, immersive culture and beachside relaxation in Zanzibar. The logistics provided with Silver Spark were seamless, our guides Peter and Waziri were incredibly knowledgeable and accommodations exceeded expectations in every destination. Only in Octagon lodge in Ngorongoro we had no electricity power for some time but it was restored by the help of a generator. I highly recommended the safari package for anyone dreaming of experiencing Africa’s most iconic parks and ending in paradise over the zanzibar beach.

Fantastic time in Kenya!!
We had a wonderful safari with Silver Spark Africa, seeing absolutely everything we could have wished for, including big five animals in real treat. Abongo was straightforward to deal with over emails before and after we booked and our driver Kepha was an excellent, friendly, flexible guide and an unflappable character. We had one of the best game drives. The challenging thing in some the road in the park are so muddy both it was great that we had a 4*4 jeep but the rest of the roads you experience on the trip are a bit better, so by day two you'll be well accustomed to the bumpiness and it won't affect your enjoyment. However, the amount of time that drives took were generally around an hour longer than we'd been told to expect, so it's worth factoring this in. The accommodations that Abongo booked us into massively exceeded our expectations - some stunning and very comfortable locations. Pretty impressive to stay in these places at this price, an upside perhaps of tourism being a little quieter than normal in Kenya at the moment but again most of the hotels were five stars. Thank you so much Silver Spark Safaris for quality services! And I would definitely recommend this company - you'll have a fantastic time. Thanks to Silver Spark Africa team!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
12-Day Tsavo west Amboseli lake Nakuru Maasai Mara safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 12-Day Tsavo west Amboseli lake Nakuru Maasai Mara safari cost?
+
Prices start at $3,900 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 12-Day Tsavo west Amboseli lake Nakuru Maasai Mara safari take?
+
Plan for about 288 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.
Is 12-Day Tsavo west Amboseli lake Nakuru Maasai Mara safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 12-Day Tsavo west Amboseli lake Nakuru Maasai Mara safari?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 12-Day Tsavo west Amboseli lake Nakuru Maasai Mara safari suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 288-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 12-Day Tsavo west Amboseli lake Nakuru Maasai Mara safari?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 12-Day Tsavo west Amboseli lake Nakuru Maasai Mara safari start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nairobi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nairobi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
