Why Choose Mara Spirit Safaris
Sending money to a safari company in another country takes trust. Here is what you can expect from us, before and after you book.
Kenya-based safari experts
Our office is in Nairobi and our team plans Kenya safaris every week of the year — not from a desk on another continent.
Personalised safari planning
Every itinerary is built around your dates, budget, pace and interests. Nothing is forced into a fixed package.
Private 4×4 safari options
Travel in your own pop-up roof Land Cruiser with a window seat for everyone and the freedom to stay longer at a sighting.
Experienced local guides
Our driver-guides grew up around these parks. They read the bush, track the cats and explain what you are seeing.
Transparent pricing
Your quote lists what is included and excluded — park fees, meals, transfers — so there are no surprises on arrival.
Airport transfers
We meet you at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and look after every transfer until you fly home.
Handpicked camps and lodges
We recommend properties we know first-hand, from simple tented camps to luxury lodges.
24/7 safari support
Once you land, a member of our team is a WhatsApp message away, day and night.
Flexible itineraries
Want an extra night in the Mara or a beach finish in Diani? Your itinerary can change as your plans do.
Families, couples, solo travellers and groups
Child-friendly camps, honeymoon touches, solo-friendly joining safaris and private group departures.
Secure payment options
Pay by the methods shown on your invoice, with a written confirmation for every payment you make.
Local destination knowledge
Which Mara camps are close to the river crossings, when Amboseli is clearest for Kilimanjaro — the details that make a trip.
