Exceptional service and unforgettable experience
Splendid Vacations exceeded my expectations on all levels. I am very thorough and detailed when planning my vacations. James was patient and answered all my questions. What stands out the most is how James continually checked in with me over the months of planning. His messages checking and getting us excited for our safari adventure. During the trip, James checked in to make sure that we were happy and everything was going smoothly. James' expertise and suggestions for additional activities during our time in the Mara really enhanced our experience. The customer service was fantastic. When there was a miscommunication with our visit at the Masai Mara Village, James rectified the issue immediately.
Our guide, George, was phenomenal! He was friendly and knowledgeable. He truly made our experience unforgettable. We love, George! Every guide should be like George. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

An amazing safari trip
Dennis from Splendid Vacation did an excellent at organising our trip!
All four of the parks we went to, Amboseli, Lake Navaisha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara had a great variety of animals and scenery.
Masila did an amazing job as our driver. He was very helpful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all things related to the safari and Kenya. We felt we were all in very good hands.
I would highly recommend splendid vacations to everyone. It was a wonderful experience.

Wonderful experience with the perfect driver
From the moment we met our driver Alex we felt most welcome. He is funny and always happy and our three kids (4, 7, 9) just loved him.
The safari jeep was spacious and well equiped, there was always enough water and Alex is a great driver. When we showed up at the agreed time he was always already there.
The accomodations were also superb, we had grat food every day and a good nights sleep.
Alex knew his way around and he had always the perfect timing to see lots and lots of animals.
We finished by going to Mombasa by train from Voi. Everything went just perfect!
I can only really recommend the tour with Splendid Vacations. We had the most perfect time! It is 100% worth the money👍👍👍🐘🦛🦓🦒

Amazing experience with the best driver!
This was the perfect trip for our little family (2 adults and 2 kids 7 & 8). This was our first trip to Africa and we had a lot of questions but Splendid Vacations provided all the answers. When we did arrive to Tanzania we were taken care of at every step. Our driver was amazing and made sure to answer our questions and helped make the kids get involved and excited about the animals. An amazing experience and look forward to booking with them again!

6 nights safari in few different places, each of them différents indeed but all with lovely sceneries. Nice and comfortable 4x4 Land Cruiser, but what makes the difference is the driver. And James was great, very friendly and also professional with all animals knowledge and always trying to find them in the savannah.
Thank you to Splendid Vacations for this magic trip ! See you again soon.

Excellent experience, it was a perfect safari trip!
Planning and communication leading up to the trip was very prompt and organized. The vehicle was in perfect condition and very comfortable. The itinerary was well planned, we got to see so many different areas it was amazing. Our guide Alex was absolutely phenomenal! He has a talent for finding animals and really went above and beyond what we expected to show us some amazing sights. He has a lot of knowledge about Kenya and its wildlife; we learned a lot from him. My husband and I both agree our 10 day trip was absolutely perfect. Thank you Alex and the Splendid team for making this an incredible experience!

5-star Service, an Amazing Adventure
Booking our safari with Splendid was a great decision. The James was attentive, listened to all my wants and put together an memorable trip for me and my family which included a 4-day safari and 2-day beach trip.
We were paired with a knowledgeable guide, Alex, who was patient, understanding and funny. Our itinerary was followed closely but Alex was flexible when it came to our kids. He stopped for any animal they wanted to see, including squirrels. The photos and videos we took were amazing….National Geographic quality.
Our hotels were well-maintained, food was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. They were located within the parks themselves and offered great views of animals without leaving the property. At one property, we were offered a “big 5” wake-up call in case they came to the watering hole during the night.
All in all, no one in my family will forget this trip. Highlights included:
- 5 lionesses and 1 cub catching some shade
- A herd of elephants taking a red soil bath
- Two different elephant families greeting each other
- A wild dog family frolicking in the street and
- Two male giraffes fighting over a girl
Thanks to James and Alex for a wonderful vacation. It was an unbelievable experience, filled with wonderful memories and a trip we will talk about for years to come.

Incredibly helpful, organised and affordable
I would a million times recommend Splendid Vacations to anyone looking to plan a safari. They were able to customize our trip. Communication was prompt and everything was organized from transport to luggage storage. It also seemed like they had premium deals and better prices with lodges. Knowing that everything had already been planned out and taken care of, we were able to relax and focus on enjoying the cozy atmosphere and unbelievable safari. Special thanks to Joseph for being enthusiastic and his support. I was generally pleased.
