Great experience!
I did a 6 day safari in Kenya and Steve was our driver and guide.
He is a wonderful driver and even helped several vehicles stuck in mud in Maasai Mara.
I was super sick in the middle of the safari and Steve found a good hospital for me and managed the payments with the travel agency.
Also, he is completely committed to make sure you see the big 5, I believe our group saw the most compared to others on the day we went to MM.

Best 8 days of my life!
We are sitting in the airport, having just finished the best 8 days of our lives! Our guide, Jimmy, was INCREDIBLE. He was fun and friendly and so very smart. He ensured that we saw the Big Five. The drives were long, but it never felt like it. Time flew. We stayed at Karatu (best view and pool!), Kusini (words can’t express the magic here-the staff is fantastic and made us feel like royalty), Ikoma (would NOT recommend due to safety, lack of communication and cleanliness), and South Serengeti (zebras walking through camp!!). We booked with Fridebalda, who was so helpful and always had an answer to my many questions. We will definitely be booking another safari with this group and have already recommended them to several friends. Don’t question it, just book it!

They truly make your vacation Splendid!
From the moment we first made contact to set up the trip, until the moment we said a tearful see you later at the airport, the staff at Splendid Vacations were truly amazing!
Our contacts with Splendid were Rachael in the office, and Rono in the field.
Rachael: You truly are the Queen of attention to detail. You were quick to reply to our emails answering all of our questions and set up the perfect itinerary both for the safari and also in Nairobi for three days after our safari and beach combo tour ended. It mattered not the day of the week, the time of the day, or the fact that we are eleven hours behind you. Your prompt, courteous, professional emails were very appreciated. It was very nice to meet you at the airport as we were flying home to say Hello and Thank You. The WhatsApp connection with you during the trip was a nice touch, giving us access to you if we needed it. (We didn't). You deserve a big raise! We'll be in touch soon with our next trip.
Rono. We have no words. We arrived in Nairobi as tourists, and felt like we were saying good-bye to a close friend or family member when we flew home. Your warmth, hospitality, and genuine smile truly embody the spirit of Kenya. You have a sixth sense when it comes to spotting wildlife and knowing where to stop for perfect photos. You are in your element when you are in the parks. You kept us safe, made us laugh, and taught us a lot, all while earning the title "King Rono" from us. We miss you, friend!
If you are looking to have an amazing Kenyan adventure, please don't hesitate to get in touch with this tour company. They truly will make your vacation Splendid!

Respectful, patient, professional and knowledgeable. He gave us a good briefing on the park.
The cost of the trip was cost efficient. Communication with the team was seamless and we were paired with a good family. The pickup was timely. The driver also made sure we had a comfortable ride throughout and engaged us with insightful insites. Overall we enjoyed the trip.

Greatest Of All Time
We never could have imagined such an incredible safari experience! Bulldozer is truly the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT)! His ability to spot animals and birds from kilometers (or miles!) away is unmatched. Every moment with him was filled with awe as he shared his astonishing knowledge of wildlife, history, and culture—from animal tracks to bird sounds to the rich traditions and historical knowledge of the Maasai people. We learned so much from him during our journey; his insights and passion for the land, animals, and people are truly inspiring. His humor, respectfulness, knowledge, and genuine care make him as rare and priceless as a Tanzanite gem! Guides like Bulldozer are truly one in a million.
To top it all off, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five not just once, but twice—and I’m certain it was due to Bulldozer’s eagle eyes and incredible instincts.
Our stay at Misako Luxury Tent was equally unforgettable. The food was absolutely incredible—truly top chef cuisine and always plentiful. David, the manager, went above and beyond to ensure we never wanted for anything. His attention to detail and dedication to our comfort was exceptional. And you can’t leave Misako without being touched by Brandy’s strong, welcoming personality—her unconditional spirit and warmth are unforgettable. It’s no wonder they are such great friends of Bulldozer.
Meeting everyone at Misako was an absolute pleasure. We were treated like royalty and family, but David and Brandy deserve the highest recognition for making our stay so special. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey, and we are forever grateful for this amazing, worry-free adventure. Thank you to Bulldozer, David, Brandy, Musa, and the entire Misako team for creating memories we will treasure forever!
Heavenlight thank you for a great planned trip!

Above Expectations
I had an amazing experience with Serengeti Green Tanzania. I had a 4 days/3 nights safari and from the start to the finish I enjoyed throughly every single moment.
Our guide Good Luck has drove us around four parks and has been capable not only showing us the wonders of the parks but also of explaining in details the animal sights and local culture.
Overall the experience has been above expectations thanks to him and the all crew organising the tour. Communication was smooth in the preparation and during the trip, very responsive at all time. Excellent value for money considering other offers we have received.
Would definitely recommend Serengeti Green Tanzania and Good Luck to anyone.

Exceeded our expectations
We had a four days safari and visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. This trip exceeded our expectations! Starting with Winnie who was very responsive and excellent in arranging everything for us, recommending places and booking great hotels. On the first night it turned out that the hotel which was initially booked for us got flooded so she arranged a stay in another hotel that was much higher category which we really enjoyed. Our guide Lucas was simply the best! He wouldn't miss anything, kind, knowledgeable, skillful, professional and always smiling. After the safari was over Winnie arranged for us a visit to Materuni waterfalls and a coffee plantation and I'm grateful she recommended us to do it. Our guide there, Musa, also did a perfect job and managed to show us everything irrespective of the limited time we had ( we had to catch a flight in the afternoon). So, it was a great experience overall and I am extremely grateful and happy with it!

Unforgettable first time in Uganda !!!
**An Unforgettable Experience with Tubale Safaris**
Our family of four recently embarked on a journey with Tubale Safaris, and it was, without a doubt, one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. From start to finish, this trip exceeded every expectation, and we’ll forever cherish the memories of our incredible African adventure.
The wildlife encounters alone were worth the journey. Tubale Safaris gave us the rare opportunity to see the "Big Five" up close, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos. Every safari drive was filled with anticipation and awe as we witnessed these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. The thrill of spotting a lion resting in the tall grass or a herd of elephants drinking from a watering hole was beyond words. But the surprises didn’t stop there. We were also fortunate enough to experience something truly special—seeing both chimpanzees and gorillas in the wild. Trekking through the lush forests to observe these incredible primates in their natural environment was an emotional highlight of our trip. Watching the chimpanzees play and communicate with each other, and later spending time with the gorillas in their serene mountain habitat, was a privilege we will never forget.
The accommodations arranged by Tubale Safaris were equally impressive. Every lodge we stayed at was a perfect blend of luxury and nature, offering us a tranquil retreat after our daily adventures. Each lodge was unique, providing stunning views of the surrounding landscapes, and was thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and relaxation while staying in harmony with nature. Whether we were enjoying a delicious meal under the stars or unwinding in our beautifully appointed rooms, we felt completely at ease and pampered throughout our stay.
One of the standout aspects of our trip was our exceptional guide and driver, Jamal. He was an absolute gem, not only knowledgeable about the wildlife but also deeply passionate about the environment. His attention to detail and care for our family made all the difference. He took the time to ensure that we had the best possible view of the animals and was always patient, engaging, and willing to share fascinating insights about the creatures we encountered. It was clear that he truly cared about providing us with a memorable and meaningful experience, making us feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared-for throughout the entire journey.
The staff at every lodge and the Tubale Safaris team were incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating an atmosphere where we felt like part of the family. They anticipated our every need, from arranging a surprise special dinner under the stars to offering personalized recommendations for activities. Their dedication to ensuring our trip was perfect was evident in every aspect of our stay.
In every way, Tubale Safaris exceeded our expectations. The combination of incredible wildlife sightings—including the Big Five, chimpanzees, and gorillas—luxurious lodges, and attentive service made this a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. We’ve traveled extensively, but this safari stands out as one of the most meaningful and life-changing adventures we’ve ever had. We can’t recommend Tubale Safaris enough for anyone looking to experience the heart of Africa. It was an experience that has left an indelible mark on our hearts, and we can’t wait for the opportunity to return.
