Splendid experience provided by Splendid Vacations
5/5

I recently had the privilege of experiencing the breathtaking beauty of Masai Mara with Splendid Vacations, and it was truly an unforgettable adventure. From the moment we began planning our trip, the team at Splendid demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication to ensuring that every detail was meticulously taken care of.
Our driver, James, was the epitome of excellence. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife and terrain made every moment of our safari special. James's ability to spot even the most elusive animals was impressive, and his adaptability to our requests made the experience even more enjoyable. His passion for sharing the wonders of Masai Mara was evident throughout our journey, and his friendly demeanor made us feel safe and welcome.
The accommodations arranged by Splendid were superb, offering comfortable stays with excellent food and stunning views. The entire experience was well-organized, and I appreciated the emphasis on providing a personalized and immersive wildlife adventure.
I highly recommend Splendid Vacations, especially with James as your driver, for anyone seeking an authentic and thrilling safari experience in Masai Mara. Their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is truly commendable.

Reliable - Honest - Great Knowledge - Communicative - Responsive - Best resort selection
5/5

Overall my trip went superbly well. Great memories and awesome execution by Splendid Vacations. My route was Nairobi Airport < Masai Mara < Central Serengeti< Southern Serengeti with balloon safari< Ngorongoro Crater < Amboseli NP< Nairobi Airport

I was a solo traveler from USA and skeptical on booking this trip due to new country/continent and new people. My assistant was Rachael. She was amazing throughout the journey by staying in touch the entire trip and before with my itinerary/planning. I would definitely recommend if you are planning for Africa.

What went well:
1. Drafting my itinerary with rates.
2. Resort selections and services were excellent. Rachael understood my requirements well and provided best resorts.
3. Great tour guides with punctuality and knowledge about area.
4. Vehicles provided were in good condition

Learnings: Something that I learnt and would like to pass.
1. If you are vegetarian, do carry some food for the trip. I carried some dry snacks and food for game drives because I like snacking while having fun in forest.
2. Plan well and share your interests about which location is important for you. The park passes are on day/hourly basis. If you are looking to spend more time in one park, say, Ngorongoro crater you may have to check-in late at the entrance. Something that you should talk before making bookings and tour guide will guide you according to your interests.
3. Climate could be harsh, so plan your trip likewise. I generally travel places in shoulder months to avoid tourist crowd. It worked well for me in Feb.
4. Plan you day ahead with your driver/travel guide to make best use of your day and places you want to cover.

Well planned and thought out trip, but underestimated travel times
4/5

We had a great time booking through Splendid! Our guide Mwololo was attentive, experienced and kind, and really helped us relax and get into the safari spirit. We were able to cover 4 national parks and also complete a hike in just 6 days! An added bonus was seeing all of the big 5 which I cannot thank Mwololo and splendid enough for. The trip was designed perfectly to our budget and personalised requests, the accommodations were all clean and safe and comfortable, and everywhere we went the people were so friendly! We would definitely use splendid again. The only complaint we had was the driving times between parks was underestimated for pretty much all the drives, so we spent more time commuting than we had anticipated.

Unforgettable Safari Experience with James in Masai Mara
5/5

Our safari in the Masai Mara with James was nothing short of spectacular. James is an incredibly experienced guide, and his deep knowledge of the wildlife and landscape made this adventure truly unforgettable.

One of the highlights of our trip was spotting a magnificent leopard, something that not every safari-goer gets to experience. We also saw plenty of lions, cheetahs, and herds of majestic elephants, all up close in their natural habitat. James knew exactly where to go and how to position the vehicle for the best viewing and photography opportunities.

Another incredible experience was the walking safari with Rob, the ranger. Exploring the African savannah on foot, learning about the smaller details of the ecosystem, and feeling the raw beauty of nature from a different perspective was truly special.

If you're looking for a top-notch safari experience with an expert guide, I can highly recommend James. His passion, expertise, and ability to create a once-in-a-lifetime adventure make him stand out. We couldn’t have asked for a better safari!

Enjoyable, well planned, excellent
5/5

We went for a 5 days trip, from Nairobi - Lake Naivasha - Lake Nakuru - Masai Mara - Nairobi. We booked our trip about half year early. James, our planner was very friendly and responsive to all my requests. I made some extra requests for one of the hotel sitting because I wanted to propose to my gf. And it was well planned and I am very happy with it. The whole trip was excellent. We saw a lot of animals. All the big fives and ugly fives. Our guide Willy was excellent on finding animals. The only part that we have small complain is when we visited the Hells Gate, we had a bike ride which was very tiring, you need to ride about 10 miles in total and also include an half hour climbing in between, if you also going for the bike ride make sure to be prepared. But overall the trip was excellent, we enjoyed a lot.
