Only one word: Great
I did Chobe-Safari already 4 times with Phil (regularily kayaking the Zambezi).
Each time great. Everybody loved it. Each time new special experiences. A Leopard lady 1m from the car, tapsy little lion king, the horny elephant bull, shacals crazy exited about their catch…(expect only one of it on one trip)
The great camping in african nature (do overnight!!)
Phil is great: So smooth. So nature-loving.cant imagine there is a better guide.
Looking forward for next time

A wonderful and well organized safari
It was truly a very positive and wonderfully experience. We saw an incredible variety of animals including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and even few rhinos at Ngorongoro Crater all very clear and up close without larger crowds of vehicles around us. The lodges were comfortable, the food was fresh and delicious and the staff were friendly, professional and always helpful. Many thanks to the entire team for making our safari so memorable

Safe
Had a great experience with them!!❤️❤️ they have good communication and always made sure we were safe. The game drive guide Nuhu, what can I say?? He was so knowledgeable, good character and had a chill and nice vibe that really fits the guest that wants to learn the smallest details!! He was just amazing🥳 the cottage we stayed in was very nice, beautifully placed in the middle of nowhere in the woods. If anything, the lack of bathrobe, WiFi and hot water made me choose a 4 instead of a 5. But overall I’m soooo happy with camp lilac❤️❤️❤️

Great Experience with Asante Bibi Safaris and Tours!
I can't say enough good things about Asante Bibi Safaris and Tours! My business partner and I did a 2 day safari by train to Mikumi with owner, Daudi Gembe, manager, Pray, driver, Rajabu, and safari guide, Mhina. The entire journey went very smoothly and the safari was amazing. Our one night stay was at Camp Bastian, and our 2 bedroom cottage was very spacious and comfortable. The food was also good at the camp. We also visited a nearby Maasai village while there, and we highly recommend adding this to your safari. Great service, great fun! Do not hesitate to book Daudi and his staff! They go above and beyond to make your experience is a good one!

Whole trip was like a dream.
The 4 day trip was very enjoyable. Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro have all seen a lot of wildlife. Do not forget to open the roof of the car and watch the animals from a close distance. Accommodations were clean and comfortable. The guide explained everything. The flight back to Zanzibar was also convenient. Great adventure!

Rachael's Flawless Planning；Masila's Extraordinary Heart.；The Safari of a Lifetime.
My wife and I just got back from the 8-day Kenya safari (May 2–9, 2026) with Splendid Vacations, and honestly, it was all made possible by two people: Rachael and our guide Alex Masila.
Rachael handled all the planning from the start. She replied to every message quickly, really listened to what we wanted, and put together an itinerary that just worked — Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli. Every transfer, every lodge, every park fee, every meal, all of it went smoothly. It felt like she genuinely cared, and that made a huge difference even before we arrived.
Then there is Masila. He is simply the best guide we have ever had. He knows so much about the animals and the parks, and he has this amazing ability to find wildlife and get us right up close without ever feeling intrusive. We saw things we never thought we would see.
But what really touched us happened in the middle of the trip, when my wife got very sick late at night. I called Masila, and without any fuss, he arranged everything — took us to a doctor in the early hours, stayed with us the whole time, helped translate, and kept reassuring us until we knew she was okay. After that, he quietly adjusted the pace over the next couple of days so my wife could rest properly. He never made us feel like a burden. He just took care of us like we were his own family. We will be grateful forever.
On top of all that, Masila is just a joy to be around. He told us stories about growing up on a fruit farm, and how he dreams of going back to the orchards one day. You can see how much he loves nature — his face would light up every time we spotted an animal. He was patient, kind, funny, and completely genuine.
The trip itself was incredible. The Masai Mara gave us lions, cheetahs leopards, and endless plains full of wildebeest. Lake Nakuru was full of rhinos and flamingos. Lake Naivasha was peaceful — we did the boat ride and walked on Crescent Island surrounded by giraffes and zebras. And then Amboseli — watching big herds of elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background, it almost doesn't feel real. The lodges were all comfortable and well chosen (Mara Serena, Lake Nakuru Sopa, Lake Naivasha Sopa, Kibo Camp), and the Land Cruiser handled every rough track perfectly.
Everything ran so smoothly, and that really comes down to Rachael's planning and Masila's deep knowledge of every place we visited.
If you book with Splendid Vacations, just ask for Masila. You'll get an incredible guide and a real friend.

Martin was a perfect tour guide, providing energy, insight, and warmth.
My wife and I had a layover in Johannesburg, just long enough for a 3-4 hour tour of the city and Soweto. Marvin showed us the sights, gave us the history, and made sure we were safe and comfortable. He is very knowledgeable and has a client service attitude. He also knew people everywhere we went, reflecting how friendly he is. The information he shared went well beyond the superficialities you could get in a guide book. Marvin was also careful to get us back to the airport on time. We could not have been more happy with his service and will book a tour with him next time we’re in Joberg.

Professional, responsive, flexible
Safari 2 Gorilla Tours (S2GT) organized the Gorilla Habituation trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (Uganda) for me, including itinerary, transportation (from/to Kigali), Forest permit and accommodation. Aron of S2GT was my point of contact to discuss itinerary, cost, payment timing and linking me to my transportation driver (Dan). Aron provided clear information and instructions, replied promptly to my queries and worked with me on payment timing due to uncertain circumstances (worldwide oil disruption). Aron followed my trip, in the background, from start to finish. S2GT’s pricing was also the most affordable of three companies I contacted.
Dan, my driver, was fantastic - professional, safe, knowledgeable, client-focused and an interesting conversationalist.
The Gorilla Habitation trek was all and more than I had expected; simply beautiful, humbling, raw and adventurous. The Forest Rangers from the Uganda Wildlife Authority — Chris (lead), Gideon & Chris — and the trackers (Michael, Meti & Silver) were professional, protective, skillful and client-focused.
The accommodations (~35 minutes from the trek entrance) — Lake Mulehe Gorilla Lodge — was in a serene setting overlooking a lake with a volcano in the background. The staff were professional, courteous and client-focused. The grounds were simple, pleasant. The rooms were clean, simple, comfortable.
All in all, Safari 2 Gorilla Tours did all they could to ensure my trip was smooth and memorable. Truly an amazing experience.
Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Safari 2 Gorilla Tours for your East Africa experience.

Amazing experience with All Wheels Experience!
Our friends' tour with All Wheels Experience was absolutely fantastic! Edward Elias was an exceptional guide, making the 4-day Tarangire, 6-day Ngorongoro, and 5-day Serengeti safaris unforgettable. The parks were breathtaking, and the food throughout the trip was delicious and satisfying. We loved every moment exploring these amazing parks together. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an adventure of a lifetime!
