14-Day Serengeti Maasai Mara Amboseli Tarangire Zanzibar

First Safari, Completely Amazing operator!

This was our first safaris in Africa, so we had to reach out to several tour operators before settling on Silver Spark Africa as our tour agent in both Kenya and Tanzania. With Silver Spark Africa, our communication was straight, easy, on time and documents shared with details of our tour were of great quality. Our driver and guide were on time each day, very polite and understanding all through the tour, nice and always smiling. We had a good game drive and greatly appreciated Samwel, as our guide, he knew the animals and names. The jeep was great, we had no trouble with the vehicle, even during the second day, when it rained heavily in Maasai Mara, we never stayed stuck and our Samwel was a pretty good driver! We had a great Safari tour and we loved Maasai Mara, Bongoria, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. In Bongoria, Samwel always took the time to bring us where he thought we would see birds and animals, we are such animal lovers that he did that extra mile for us in Lake Nakuru on the morning of us leaving for Lake Elementaita. The accommodations that were booked across all parks and reserves were all nice and some were incredible, like the Kilima Lodge in Amboseli, Lake Nakuru lodge and Tukaone Serengeti center. All the meals we ate were delicious, at the hotels and even as box lunches because we had the Big Lunch Box with "hot complete meals" and cardboard box lunches. That was great, we really appreciated Silver Spark Africa.

Lack of honesty and greed ruined my vacation and trust

Please do NOT trust this Saffari company. I booked 8k worth of 19 days Safari with them, we were given a run down van in Kenya, no water for one day and moved to Tanzania in the most horrible local road to avoid toll fee in highway. I would have let it all go, what happened on last part in Zanzibar left me speechless, instead of sending us to the hotel that we paid for in a swimable ocean we were sent to a cheaper hotel that is religious hotel near a beach full of weeds . Last 8 months, manager Abongo kept promising to return 300 dollars in nearly 50 msg exchanges . I am giving up now and returned my friend his share by myself. I regret choosing this company and trusting them .

An unforgettable Adventure !

We had the chance to do our booked 14 days Safaris across Kenya and Tanzania all we had was great and were above expectations from the hotels, the airport transfer, camps and lodging. All our game drive both in the Maaasai Mara and Serengeti National Park was great we had water bottles through our trip. We did more than five game parks during our vacation, all was great. The accommodations were comfortable and well chosen, the food was delicious and our guides, Peter and Waziri were professional, friendly and passionate about nature and conservation. If you're looking for a diverse, adventure filled and truly immersive safari experience this is the trip for you. Highly recommended!

Most outstanding Team!

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.

Incredible safari experience

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!
