Omar is absolutely phenomenal!
Erik the tour guide coordinator took care is is as if we were one of his own family members. We made several last minute changes, and he came through each time. Omar is very knowledgeable about Arusha and the animals that we encountered on the safari. He is so pleasant and funny at the same time. He answers all questions and went far and beyond to make sure our excursions were amazing. His trainee Alex is also so sweet and kind. The extras that Omar and Alex did make the adventure unforgettable.

Alex was fantastic - Super knowledgeable, patient, understanding and very flexible!
My wife & I booked a 7 day safari with our 3 boys through Rachel and it was awesome! Rachel was very easy to communicate with, very knowledgeable even made great suggestions for our trip and made us feel confident about our booking months & months in advance. Alex was our assigned safari driver and they could not have picked a better person to lead our family's vacation. The different animals & quantities of that he brought us to throughout the 4 parks we visited were astounding and his knowledge, personality and patience helped make our trip the best of the best! Your will not be disappointed with Splendid Vacations and should plan to book your experience with them without hesitation.

Everything I wanted and more!
This was a great experience! I chose this company based on reviews, and I’m very glad I did. Leaving up to the trip. They were very responsive and provided me with all the information needed. Once I arrived in Rwanda, I was met with my driver, Isaac. Isaac really made the experience so much more than I expected. He provided clear understanding of each part of the trip, including cultural aspects, historical information, knowledge about the flora and fauna, and a personal aspect as he is local to the region. His knowledge as a local provided a rich cultural experience, and he made me feel completely taken care of at all times. The Safari itself was fantastic! I was linked to so many great experiences. I got to see the gorillas, golden monkeys, chimpanzees, and so much more during the game drive! I highly recommend this company. They also arranged for charming accommodations, which also provided local food, and cultural experiences. And if you can have Isaac be your guide, the trip will be that much more enriching.

Perfect Zanzibar to Serengeti Safari with Saving Tour
My husband and I did a Zanzibar to Tarangire & Serengeti safari with Saving Tour and rated them Excellent. Communication was fast and clear. Our guide was skilled and knowledgeable. Saw the Big Five, great lodges, no hidden costs. Everything ran on time and felt great value. Highly recommend Saving Tour for a stress-free Tanzania safari.

Resourceful and Helpful
I had a good experience, I struggled at first before getting an Agent dedicated to me. Eventually, they gave me options, so many deals with multiple properties, the booking was seamless, everything well organised and done for us before hand.

He was professional and part of the family at the same time
Their prices were considerably lower than the competition, yet the quality of the experience wasn't affected at all—in fact, it exceeded every expectation.
What truly set the trip apart was our guide. He was incredibly personable and felt like a member of the family by the end of the week. He managed a difficult balance: he was a consummate professional who kept us safe and included, yet he felt like a close friend who could tailor every moment to our specific tastes.
He didn’t just stick to the standard routes; he took us to unforgettable, unexpected locations and hidden, less-touristic spots that were breathtaking. Thanks to his local knowledge and respectful approach, we never felt like "foolish tourists" gawking from a jeep. Instead, we felt like guests simply passing through. It was a seamless, world-class experience.

Incredible Safari Experience with Suricata
My boyfriend and I had an amazing time on our safari through Suricata Safaris. Our driver Damien was super nice and incredibly knowledgeable about animals and the land. He managed to find and get us great views of nearly every animal you could think of in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater/Conservation area, and Tarangire park. The camping experience really fun and beautiful and they made it very easy for us to relax and enjoy ourselves. The chef James made us a ton of delicious food every meal. 10/10 recommend Suricata if you're thinking about doing a safari.

An amazing experience!
I had an amazing 6-day safari experience with Cymo African Safaris to Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kibale National Park and Murchison Falls National Park. Simon was incredibly helpful and responsive while organising the trip, especially since it was booked fairly last minute. Simon and Hosea were very knowledgeable, friendly and thoughtful guides, who made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire experience, particularly as a solo traveller. Everything was well planned and the lodges were well chosen, comfortable and offered great food for the budget. The guides were great at spotting wildlife, and we saw all the animals I’d hoped for, with the highlights being hyenas, lions and a leopard. I would highly recommend Cymo African Safaris for a memorable safari in Uganda.
