Fantastic experience
My girlfriend and I did a 7 days Safari around Kenya (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli). Abongo was very helpful and correct during the booking pre safari. Always here for us during the organization and also during our trip. I agreed some changes on the program based on our interests and everything went good. The lodges were to our expectations. Our guide Peter was the best person we could find. He was always with us and take care of us like sons (we're 26yo). He wasn't only a good and safe driver but also a kind and prepared guide about Kenya and its parks and animals. He is an awesome Person and we will take him in our Heart. We succeeded in see 4 out 5 of the big five and had beautiful Game Drives.
The price for what we've done was honest and Fair.
Thanks a lot to Abongo and Peter for this fantastic experience.

The ultimate choice for a dependable, entertaining & well-organised safari tour operation
One of the biggest challenges when planning a safari trip to Nairobi is finding a trustworthy, economical, and experienced safari operator. I contacted and communicated with several operators, but it was just one call with Abongo—the main person at Silver Sparks—that made my decision easy. His patience, attention to detail, and calm demeanor assured me that he would meet my expectations for the safari.
Day 1 & 2: My safari with Silver Sparks was exceptional from start to finish. Abongo’s meticulous planning ensured that every detail was perfectly executed. The adventure began with a visit to the giraffe center, followed by a bike ride at Karura Forest (Tip: Make sure to get some cardio in if you plan on doing the bike ride), and concluded with an insightful tour of Nairobi city, including Kenyatta Market where you’re spoiled for choice with souvenirs. What made the first two days even more memorable was the company of Abongo, Kevin, and Eric. They joined me on the bike ride and were very helpful with haggling for souvenirs.
From Day 3 and 4, I met Peter, my tour guide for the rest of the trip. As they say, first impressions are lasting, and meeting Peter was no exception; his smile could light up a room. We headed to Masai Mara, a five-and-a-half-hour drive from Nairobi that turned into a seven-hour drive due to unexpected traffic (Tip: Leave as early as possible if driving from Nairobi to Masai). I stayed at Jambo Safari Lodge, which, though considered mid-range, could easily compete with luxury resorts. The game drives at Masai Mara were memorable, and Peter’s insightful information about the animals made the experience even better.
On Day 5, we drove from Masai Mara to Lake Nakuru, a five-hour drive with a two-hour stopover at Lake Naivasha for a boat ride. You can take the regular boat ride for USD 35, but Peter suggested using the boat ride offered by Lake Naivasha Resort, which costs $50 and was worth every penny. You get to see various types of birds and a few hippos. I stayed for a night at Lake Nakuru Lodge, which exceeded my expectations. My room had a balcony with breathtaking views of Lake Nakuru National Park.
On Day 6, the final leg of the trip, we left early from Nakuru toward Amboseli Park, driving past the majestic snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro. At Amboseli, I stayed at the tented resort managed by AA Amboseli Lodge, a unique experience where you sleep in the heart of the park amidst the clean Amboseli breeze. The game drive featured incredible views of elephants strolling through marshy land with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. Be sure to have your camera ready for some portrait-worthy pictures.
Finally, the seamless transition on Day 7 back to Nairobi Airport capped off an unforgettable adventure. Silver Sparks exceeded all expectations with their outstanding service and attention to detail. Abongo’s youthful yet mature nature has contributed to the success of Silver Sparks, and having a team like Kevin, Eric, and Peter adds to the quality they provide.
My only regret on this trip was not catching a glimpse of a leopard, but that just means I have a reason to return to Nairobi and experience another incredible safari with Silver Sparks.
Until we meet again, Abongo and Silver Sparks, Asante!

Amazing safari with Silver Spark Africa Safaris.
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!

Well communication and good experience!
Amazing people and parks with a wide variety of big five animals. I was lucky to see 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 of the great Rift Valley escarpment. When we arrived at Elemtaita lodge we welcomed nicely. 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. I do recommended if you are looking for starter park in Kenya, do start with Maasai Mara. This was one of the unforgettable safari of 2023 experience.

Best experience ever thanks to great professionals
The team is always supporting you. Speaking perfect English, our first contact Abongo was perfectly adapting the tour to our needs and interests. Easy payment and clear invoices (not always common). Our driver (David) was an amazing professional. Spotting all animals, driving safe, being always on time and never losing his smile.
I would really recommend Silver Spark Safari for my tours. We explored Masai Mara (a must), Lake Nakura (impressive safari around the lake, where you can see Rinhos) and Amboseli Park (with views to Kilimanjaro).
Do mot hesitate to trust this experience to them, you will not regret it!

Unforgettable memories in our lifetime
First time travelling to Africa, Silver Spark Africa Safaris gave us confidence for the whole journey. On the first day we met, we were given a warm welcome. Everything was well organised and arranged, our adventure went very smooth.
We had booked a 11-day Kenya & Tanzania safari trip. We really appreciated Abongo, who always keep us updated for all the arrangement and our tour guide, David in Kenya & Waziri in Tanzania. They are very professional and knowledgeable about the wildlife in Africa. We were lucky to see the big five.
We had an incredible time with Silver Spark. After our safari trip, we went to South Africa. They were very caring about our journey and were willing to offer any assistance to us. We would recommend Silver Spark to everyone, who are looking for the best safari experience. Once again, thank you for bringing the unforgettable memories in our lifetime.

The unforgettable safari adventure in Kenya and Tanzania
We recently had the pleasure of embarking on an 11-Day Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari adventure that exceeded all expectations, thanks to the exceptional organization and the incredible team led by Abongo. From the moment we arrived until the final farewell, every aspect of the safari was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. Abongo, the founder of the company, proved to be the cornerstone of this remarkable experience.
One of the standout features of this safari was our outstanding guides David (Kenya) and Waziri (Tanzania). They had an uncanny ability to anticipate animal movements and, time and time again, put us in the best positions to witness nature's most incredible spectacles. Their knowledge of the African wildlife, flora, and fauna was nothing short of astounding.
If you're dreaming of an African safari, look no further than Silver Spark Africa Safaris. This adventure was a true once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will cherish forever.

Attentive, great communication, and excellent value.
Silver Spark did a great job of managing the details of our safari. Abongo responded quickly to all my emails and ensured that we had an amazing experience. Our guides, game drives, and lodging came together for a wonderful safari at an excellent value. I certainly recommend them.

11-Day Serengeti, Maasai Mara, Tarangire, Amboseli Park
This is our first time in Kenya and Africa. The inquiry and booking process was easy. Abongo, the founder of the company, was very responsive both on email and WhatsApp.
We arrived to Nairobi City one day earlier and were given the full day excursion to Giraffe Center, August 7th Memorial Park (US embassy), Kenya National Archive Center and Nairobi Gallery. Our guide was Kevin (the company's marketer) together with his driver. The excursion helped us to settle into the "polepole" mode. Tip: arrive to Nairobi at least 1 day early
Next morning we were picked up from our hotel and, after pre-departure meeting, started safari.
The safari has been the best experience thanks to our guides David from Silver Spark Africa Safaris in Kenya and Waziri from Nyangulo Africa Safaris in Tanzania,
After the end of our trip Abongo, David and Kevin took us out to dinner to the famous Nairobi restaurant The Carnivore and after that escorted us to our hotel for a group photo and final "lala salama".
Every minute of the trip we felt protected and in safe hands of our guides and the company.

Organized, thoughtful, and very responsive
Everything with Silver Spark was perfect! From the inquiry to the drop off at the end was perfect! The booking process was easy and Silver Spark was very responsive to any questions. One of the accommodations was fully booked and Silver Spark had a new accommodation within a few days. Our guide, John, was amazing!!!!!!! Some roads in the Mara were blocked off but John didn’t give up and go us to the Mara River to see the great migration. John took care of my friend and I until the airport drop off at the end.This was my second safari and highly recommend Silver Spark!
