Amazing Experience. 100% Recommend
We had an unforgettable 6-day/5-night adventure through Kenya, with 2 nights in the Masai Mara, 1 night at Lake Nakuru, and 2 nights in Amboseli.
Before booking, we contacted more than 15 tour operators on SafariBookings, and ultimately chose Splendid Vacations because they were very responsive and able to accommodate our requests.
Alice was fantastic, always available and quick to respond, making sure the itinerary was exactly what we were looking for.
Our guide Gabriel was simply outstanding. His knowledge of wildlife and the parks is incredible, he knows the parks so well that he never needed a map. He answered every question we had, explained everything we were seeing, and positioned the car so that we could have the best possible experience.
Beyond being an exceptional guide, Gabriel is also a genuinely great guy: polite, friendly, patient and extremely pleasant to spend time with — something that really matters when you are sharing a safari vehicle for 10 hours a day!
Alice and Gabriel also helped when we had an issue with our luggage. Our checked bag was lost on the flight to Kenya, and Alice personally went to the airport to retrieve it for us. While Gabriel drove us to Nairobi to collect it on the way between the parks.
We could not recommend Gabriel, Alice and Splendid Vacations more!

Lake Manyara is a gem
This was the last day of a 5 day lodge tour - i have left a separate review of the first 4 days but for day 5 we had a different guide Boniface. He was very good and extremely knowledgeable giving us lots of information. I did not expect to see much at manyara but it was fantastic. We had a great experience elephants very close including adult and baby. Unforgettable. I'm sure Boniface will go far in guiding. Again i had a great group to share it with. We had stayed at suricata boma lodge which is superb right by lake manyara and all the staff were superb there as was the case for all lodges on the 5 day.

Unforgettable first Safari experience
We had an amazing 6-day safari through the Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Lake Nakuru with Gabriel as our guide. He has an incredible knowledge of the animals and the parks and was always happy to answer all our questions.
He was also very friendly, patient and attentive throughout the whole trip. He always made sure to position the vehicle in the best possible spot to give us a great view of the animals, even when there were lots of other cars around. He really went above and beyond, and thanks to him we managed to see all of the Big Five!
Gabriel made our first safari experience truly unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
We were also very happy with Splendid Vacations and the organisation of the trip. They were always responsive and did a great job tailoring the safari to exactly what we wanted, especially Alice, who was incredibly helpful throughout the planning.
We would definitely recommend Gabriel, Alice and Splendid Vacations!

Professional Dream Fulfiller
I asked this team to organize a one-week safari. It was important to me to see and photograph the Great Migration and the crossing of the Mara River. As a nature photographer, choosing the right locations was my top priority. I think this was 100% fulfilled, since in addition to the Big Five, I managed to see and photograph almost every animal. The choice of accommodations was excellent; we spent unforgettable evenings in the heart of the Serengeti.
I don’t think I could have chosen a better team, as they made my dream of exploring the Serengeti come true. Special thanks to the two key people, Francisca and Joshua, without whose dedicated work this dream would not have come true.

Wonderfull experience!
Our experience with Savannah Explorers was absolutely wonderful and exceeded our expectations.
We travelled as a couple and explored some of the most incredible places in Tanzania, including Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. From the very beginning, everything was extremely well organised, allowing us to fully enjoy the journey without ever having to worry about the logistics.
We were particularly impressed by the accommodations and by the warm hospitality of the staff at the lodges belonging to the Orangi Collection. The properties were beautiful, welcoming and spotlessly clean, and the staff were always kind, attentive and genuinely welcoming.
Our safari experience was simply unforgettable. Being surrounded by such breathtaking landscapes and witnessing Tanzania’s incredible wildlife up close was a truly magical adventure. A special mention goes to our guide, Tarta, who was absolutely fantastic. He spoke excellent Italian, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, and was always attentive to our wishes and interests. He did everything possible to make the experience special, adapting the itinerary and activities to what we wanted and making sure all our expectations were met.
We also felt that the price we paid was very fair for the quality and variety of the experience we received. Considering the organisation, the accommodations, the level of service, the private guiding and the incredible places and experiences included in the trip, we found the overall value for money to be excellent.
Thanks to the professionalism, kindness and passion of everyone involved, our trip became even more memorable and gave us moments that we will cherish for a lifetime.
We highly recommend Savannah Explorers to anyone looking for a serious, reliable and professional company to discover Tanzania. Everything was handled with great care, from the planning and accommodations to the safari itself and the people who accompanied us throughout the journey.
Thank you, Savannah Explorers, for making our Tanzanian adventure truly unforgettable.

An absolutly exceptional trip
Tanzania showed us its very best side: dreamlike wildlife and nature, breathtaking landscapes, and friendly, welcoming people who shared their customs with us. It was an unmatched blend of nature and culture that will be hard to beat. This magnificent experience was only possible thanks to the excellent work of our guide-hosts, Denis and Daniel—they make a perfect team! Congratulations to both of you for your great professionalism and for giving us this gift of a lifetime. And a huge thank you to Ozon Light Tours, and especially to Letson, for making it all happen! The organization was absolutely perfect!

An Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking Experience in Uganda! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was honestly one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had. The Uganda gorilla trekking experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, the guides were professional and helpful, and getting to see the gorillas in their natural habitat was truly unforgettable.
The value for money was excellent. Considering the organization, service, guides, transportation, and the once-in-a-lifetime experience itself, I felt that every part of the trip was worth it.
A special thank you to Chris, our tour operator, who made the entire experience even better. He was professional, friendly, responsive, and made sure everything went smoothly. You could really tell that he cared about making sure we had the best possible experience.
If you’re considering gorilla trekking in Uganda, I highly recommend it. It exceeded my expectations and is definitely an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Absolutely amazing from beginning to end! 🦍🇺🇬

Efficient, genuine, and great value
A fantastic experience. My girlfriend and I did a 5-day safari, including two full days at the Masai Mara.
The organization was flawless from start to finish: from booking to hotel pick-up, from the agency stop to departure, and throughout the entire trip.
A special mention goes to our guide, Alex: skilled and confident behind the wheel (the roads and traffic are far from easy to handle), always kind, attentive, and genuinely committed to making sure we had an unforgettable time. His explanations were spot on, but what we appreciated most was his discretion and spontaneity — never forcing the "tour guide role" with rehearsed lines, as sometimes happens elsewhere. He took us to see so many animals up close: we managed to spot all the Big Five along with countless other species, and took some truly beautiful photos.
Thanks also to John, an aspiring guide who joined us for the first three days, for his smile, kindness, and always knowledgeable answers.
Highly recommended!
