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.

Incredibly nice safari experience in Kenya
We made an 8-day safari trip in December 2024 and planned our Kenya safari trip a half a year ago. We have chosen Splendid Vacations, because they made a good offer and changed the originally planned route according to our wishes. Communication with them was quick and easy all the time.
We were picked up at the airport. The Land Cruiser was very well equipped. James, our driver is a highly skilled driver and guide, he made us feel safe independently whether wer were on a game drive or in a crazy busy road traffic. He showed us the Kenyan way of Hakuna Matata, stayed always calm and relaxed. We could sight many many different animals, some of them very closely.
The suggestions of accommodations were excellent, we liked the hotels we stayed in.
Without the team of Splendid Vacations we could not have had such a memorable holiday. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience.

Reliable and Professional Safari Experience
We had an amazing experience with this reliable and professional travel agency. From the start, Lencer provided quick and professional service when helping us plan our itinerary, making the process smooth and stress-free.
Our driver and guide, Johnathon, was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife. He provided fascinating insights and answered all our questions with patience and expertise.
It's important to remember that spotting animals is partly a matter of luck, so we recommend spending a few extra days on the savannah for the best chances. Each evening, we discussed and adjusted the next day's plan with Johnathon based on various factors like weather, road conditions, and our energy levels. This flexibility and open communication were key to making the trip enjoyable and tailored to our needs.
We highly recommend this travel agency for anyone planning a safari in Kenya. Their professionalism and attention to detail made our trip unforgettable!

Very knowlegable about the wild life and we felt like we were with one of the game rangers .
The tour was very good.
We had an idea of what and where we wanted to go and they were able to bring it to life. Our tour was customized to suite our needs considering we were travelling with children and they tend to get exhausted on long trips however our guide Musa was friendly and made us feel comfortable thorough the 3 day tour.
I also got to drive :) through the park which was exciting and it gave it a more personal feel for me (Not sure if everyone can get to do this though)
We would definately use African Eco Tours for our next wildlife adventures since we got our moneys worth.

Excellent companion
Mr. Iddy, the tour operator was prompt and his suggestions were pretty useful to finalize the tour. Price seems to be competitive with other tour operators. Should have handled accommodation in Ndutu better.
Our tour guide Reggie was fabulous. He was punctual, well-behaved, knowledgeable, sharp eyed and accommodative. Spoke fluent English and clear communications.
We were quite lucky to sight the Big 5, Ugly 5 and various animals, especially Cheetahs, . We were able to spot Lions every single day of our tour.
Would definitely book a tour again with Mr. Iddy and Reggie. Highly recommended.

The tour operator was professional and ensured a memorable safari experience
I had an amazing three-day safari experience with Akondo Adventure Safari, exploring Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The highlight of my trip was the incredible balloon ride, which offered breathtaking views of the landscapes. I was fortunate to have a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide who made the journey even more enjoyable. On the last day, I met Boris, another member of the Akondo team, who added a personal touch to the experience. The entire trip was well organized, and the team treated me with great care. I highly recommend Akondo Adventure Safari for anyone looking for a memorable safari adventure

The most amazing experience I have ever seen !
Exceptional!!!! The best travel memory of my life, 3 unforgettable days of safari thanks to our incredible guide, Felix.
Day 1: Off to Tarangire, home to majestic elephants and graceful, elegant giraffes. The first day was already breathtaking, filled with stunning sights, and we ended it with our first night in the park at Simba Lodge. Dining with antelopes resting in the garden was a highlight.
Then came the grand second day: Destination Ngorongoro Crater, probably the most unforgettable experience of my life—a true return to the cradle of humanity. It felt like the animated movie The Lion King came to life before our wide-eyed, childlike wonder. Along the way, Felix shared everything about the ecosystem and the incredible wildlife so close to us. He also revealed fascinating insights into the Maasai people, who line the roads in their colorful, elegant attire.
Upon arriving at Ngorongoro, we were lucky to start with lions sleeping in the trees, and at the center of the crater, we were surrounded by wildebeests, zebras, antelopes, and warthogs—a moment of unparalleled beauty in my eyes.
This second day was absolutely extraordinary—I lack the words to fully capture it. The magic of the place, combined with Felix’s passionate explanations and his impeccably skilled driving (an essential detail on these winding, awe-inspiring roads), made it unforgettable.
The third and final day: No less spectacular, this time heading to Lake Manyara, where the lush flora perfectly complemented the abundant wildlife. « The Lion King » gave way to « The Jungle Book » as we encountered an incredible variety of monkeys and even a (thankfully sleeping) python. Yet another vibrant, exceptional day.
You’ve probably guessed it by now—this safari is extraordinary, and I highly recommend it to anyone, young or old, dreaming of awe and wonder.
Above all, a huge thank you to Felix for making these 3 days so magical and unforgettable. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your guide and driver, you won’t be disappointed.
Asante sana, Filex & Akondo Adventures!

Incredible Gorilla Trekking Experience..
Our 7-day adventure with Northern Fox Adventure Tours was unforgettable! The highlight was undoubtedly the gorilla trekking in Bwindi. Frank, our guide, was knowledgeable and patient, ensuring we followed all the guidelines while observing the majestic gorillas. The scenery was breathtaking, and the cultural visit to the Batwa community added a unique touch to our experience. Highly recommended for nature lovers!
