The Kenyan team behind your safari

The Kenyan Team Behind Your Safari

Mara Spirit Safaris is a Nairobi-based safari company dedicated to creating memorable, well-planned journeys across Kenya. From the wildlife-rich plains of the Masai Mara and the elephant country of Amboseli to Samburu, Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Tsavo and Kenya’s beautiful Indian Ocean coast, we help travellers experience Kenya through carefully designed safari itineraries.

We specialise in private and tailor-made safaris, short Kenya safaris, extended multi-destination safaris, budget group joining safaris, family safaris and bush & beach holidays.

For us, a safari is more than travelling from one national park to another. It is about experiencing Kenya’s wildlife, landscapes and people while having a knowledgeable local team take care of the planning behind your journey.

Born in Kenya. Inspired by the Wild.

Mara Spirit Safaris was created from a passion for Kenya’s wildlife, landscapes, people and the extraordinary experiences that a safari can offer.

As a Kenyan safari company, we believe some of the best journeys are created by people who understand the destination personally. That local knowledge influences how we design our safaris — from selecting destinations and accommodation to planning routes, game drives and experiences around each traveller.

Whether you are visiting Kenya for the first time, travelling with family, celebrating a special occasion or returning to Africa, our goal is to create a safari that feels like your journey — not somebody else’s package.

Safaris Designed Around You

Every traveller is different. Some guests dream of witnessing the Great Migration in the Masai Mara. Others want to see elephants beneath Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, discover the unique wildlife of Samburu, visit the rhino conservation areas of Ol Pejeta or combine their safari with Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast.

We create short Kenya safaris, extended Kenya safaris, bush & beach holidays, budget group joining safaris and private tailor-made journeys.

Why Travel With Mara Spirit Safaris?

We are based in Nairobi, Kenya, with local knowledge of the destinations and safari experiences we arrange.

We believe good safari planning starts with listening. Before recommending an itinerary, we take time to understand your travel dates, interests, number of travellers, preferred accommodation style and budget.

From your first enquiry through to the end of your journey, our goal is to provide personal service, clear communication and carefully coordinated safari arrangements.

Our Promise

We understand that travelling to Kenya can be a major journey and, for many guests, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

That is why we believe you should know who you are booking with, understand what is included in your safari and know who you can contact when you need assistance.

Our goal is not simply to sell you a safari. It is to help you experience Kenya in a way that leaves you with stories you will remember long after you return home.
