About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 50katiet0 contributions"Certainly recommend Silver Spark Africa"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!Written 12 August 2024
- sofiamA414BL0 contributionsExcellent service!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!Written 22 July 2024
- geot9030 contributionsPerfect, well organized!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.Written 19 June 2024
- 491julieth0 contributionsAmazing safari Team, well organised.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!Written 9 June 2024
- charlie9530 contributionsA great safari experienceThe 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 youWritten 21 February 2024
- janehWest0 contributionsBest experience with reasoning rate!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.Written 20 February 2024
- janemG9832HY0 contributionsWell communication and amazing experience!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!Written 17 January 2024
- dancastellano0070 contributionsAmazing safari experience with reliable tour operatorI 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.Written 17 February 2023
- Wilhelm h0 contributionsPrivate safaris with very experienced guide and good arrangement of all activitiesThis 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.Written 2 January 2023
- 632yangs0 contributionswonderful tour in Novemberwonderful 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!Written 28 November 2022
- ileadntr o0 contributions6 days best experienceWe 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.Written 19 September 2022
- ajanthal20 contributionsProfessional guide/driver. Best in planning!It was our first time visiting Kenia. We love how quick they responded to our emails. We booked the 6 Days Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. The tour was a budget tour with good range of accomodations. At the Airport we were picked up by the Silver Spark team and our driver, Robert. Amazing guide! Definitely contented with the choice and Silver Spark Africa Safari made our trip.Written 12 September 2022
- petrt5260 contributionswell organized safari for reasonable price, definitely worth going10-Days Safari: Samburu Lake Nakuru Maasai Mara Lake Naivasha Amboseli Pros - very good communication, immediate response to all e-mails, - flexibility of the Silver Spark Safaris team, no problems to change the schedule, improvised unplanned day in Nairobi, visiting the museum of the former US Embassy destroyed by terrorists in 1998 - perfect itinerary which combines the best of the best in Kenya, really worth visiting - excelent driver and guide David, tireless source of information, always ready to find the best spot for our photos, entertaining Swahili teacher Cons - contrary to their statement on the web they do not accept credit cards, accepted Wise money transfer works but it is full of hassles - Melili hotel they recommend in Nairobi is OK for overnight stay but located in unattractive neighbourhood, fortified gate and barbed wire everywhere give impression of a prison - they charge one night in Melili hotel for 90 USD per person, on Booking.com you can find the 4-bed room for 65 USD a nightWritten 27 August 2022
- Yolanda1a2b3c0 contributionsSilver Spark made my dream come true8 days: 2 Samburu+ 1 Lake Nakuru+ 2 Masai Mara + 1 Lake Naivasha + 2 Amboseli Hello, I'm from Spain. I had always dreamed of doing a Safari but I couldn't find anyone to ride it as I wanted it. I contacted Silver Spark Africa Safaris through Safari Bookings. What a great success!!! How easy! How fast! How reliable! They were in touch with me all the time and customized my trip just as I had always dreamed! I was provided with a guide in Spanish, Robert, an adorable man who is already part of our family. He took care of us and provided all the comforts and knowledge. Abongo, thank you for your infinite patience and invaluable help! Thank you very much for making my dream come true and unforgettable.Written 19 August 2022
- millig9310 contributionsExtremely Accommodating and flexible with good team of excellent employeesExtremely Accommodating and flexible with good team of excellent employees. David - our tour guide who was our driver for the whole trip was very very helpful, knowledgeable and made sure every single opportunity to see if and any and all wildlife. He made our whole Kenya experience the very best. We all loved Kenya and the safari. Our overall experience with Silver Spark Safari was extremely good. The reason for giving 4 stars is - out of our whole trip of 10 days - 3 accomodations were extremely good (Samburu- Nakuru and Kibo(Amboselli). These made our experience unforgettable. but 4 accomodations were really bad (the 1st night hotel in Nairobi, Milili Hotel- Maverick Camp in Aberdare- Lake Naivasha and the last camp at Amboselli). We had to pay extra out of pocket to get another accomodations from Aberdare and move to Lake Nakuru. Would highly recommend even if the ratings say good but please please check them more in depth). If we keep the accomodations aside, Silver Sparks on the whole, Abongo our main point of contact from beginning to the end was good and on top of everything David made our Kenya safari the best. Highly highly highly recommend this company. Thank you Silver Sparks for everything for making us our family unforgettable memories of the lifetime.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Written 1 August 2022

This was a great safaris, fully satisfied. The company deserves a five stars rating. A well organised 14 days trip, doing the best national park in Kenya and Tanzania. A lifetime vacation. Our driver, Paul, made every effort to ensure we enjoyed every minute of it in each and every game park we visited. Paul made sure we saw lions, buffalos, leopards and elephants during our game drive in Maasai Mara and Serengeti of Tanzania. He stopped when we requested to take pictures in the park. We visited a Maasai village and that was simply amazing for my young kids. Perfect hotel accommodation . Our trip was the best one .We requested the Abongo to organize for us Mara camping , which he yielded to our request and made the arrangement. The sunset was such a spectacle over a cup of tea and the sunrise is breathtaking every morning. In Maasai Mara, when you are camping, be sure to pack warm clothes for the night and light clothes for the day while sightseeing. Thank you SSAS team!!!

Maasai Mara national park is always the place to visit during august and September holiday. We visited for 14 days Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We had such a fabulous time with David. He is not only an excellent driver and has incredible knowledge about the area, but was very thoughtful at any minute, stopping whenever he saw I was taking a picture on the run and made our trip the trip of a lifetime. His friendliness, and fact that he went 'the extra mile' so we could see the African wild dog, one of the rarest animals of Serengeti, made this trip unforgettable. Next time we come to Kenya, we won't do the same mistake, and book directly and privately with the company. Thank you, Silver Spark team my friend enjoyed the trip without doubt.

Booking with Silver Spark Africa was great. They didn't disappoint. The 14 days we had in Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar) was one of the best. Everytime we were in the vehicle we made sure our mask were on , not forgetting sanitizer. The journey between inter county in Kenya wasn't a problem as we had thought.
Abongo provided us with an excellent customer services and even briefed us before the trip. The trip was well organised. Brian was our driver and guide, he has a lot of skills and also the fact that he was good in english we had easy time communicating. Maasai Mara was beautiful , so green and animals were not difficult to spot.we saw all the big 5 animals.
Our all our hotel accommodation were well organised , we spend in luxurious hotel in Samburu Sarova shaba.i do recommend Silver Spark Africa safaris for their extraordinary services they provided to us.

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.

We have just had a fabulous fortnight in Kenya organized by Silver Spark Africa. I gave Abongo a an outline of all the parks we wished to visit and he organized everything. Lodges were fantastic and the whole trip made so memorable by our wonderful driver and guide. We particularly requested him as we had such a good time in the Mara in July with him. Thanks to Kepha we saw a kill, chases and the elusive leopard, apart from all the other wonderful sights you would expect to see in Kenya.
A wonderful safari and, if we were to return, we would definitely be contacting Abongo again.
He is actually arranging a trip for my sister's friend in December and I am sure he will have a great time, like we did.

Our experience with Silver Spark Africa can make my horizon broaden. I could think everything with my life during tour time such a relaxing. Our tour guide, Geoffrey who was with us for our safari tour was very kind and professional. I think he know everything in safari. The vehicle that we used for tour was good. We enjoyed all hotel.
When we were being transfer to Ngorongoro crater via Olduvai Gorge. Ngorongoro is an impressive some kilometer km wide volcanic crater with 600 m walls. The views from the crater rim are breathtaking, and there is an ever-present abundance of wildlife, due to the permanent water supply on the crater floor. This was amazing experience of a life time. We saw all the Big5 animals and other great wildlife animals I always dream of seeming, and everything was excellent! Thank you for the amazing experience! Highly recommend

It was a great experience for me, unlike any other tour destinations have made. It's the world of endless nature. What was hectic is endless travelling but that's what Africa is about. But then the game drives make every scene spectacular, especially when you come across the beautiful animals and their way of living in harmony... I remember very well about the meals and actually our food is was always prepared as healthy and natural, this because we took a package where we were provided a cooker… no frozen nor preservatives...Yes, I think it will always remain in my memories. Thank silver spark Africa , we are just preparing for a second great trip to Kenya and Uganda after covid19.

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 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.
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.

Hi
A few questions
1. What are vegetarian options in this tour?
2. Flight from Arusha to Zanzibar and back to Nairobi - does tour to company arrange for it with extra charge?
3. What about visa requirements for US citizens - is it easy to get?
4. Any vaccination requirements

What is the max group size for this your?
Written 15 April 2021
most tours do not have a maximum group size.However it is worth noting that theres a tour van capacity, most tour vans can carry either 8 or 7 people at a go.With covid nowadays there are social distance measures hence the capacity has been reduced per van.
