They were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to so we can have a memorable experience
We had an amazing 8-day safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Splendid Vacations, covering Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti (North & Central), Ngorongoro, and Amboseli. The entire experience was seamless and unforgettable!
Alice did a fantastic job planning the trip—super responsive, patient, and detail-oriented. All our accommodations were excellent, blending comfort with the authentic safari feel.
Special thanks to our guides, Masila (Kenya) and Tony (Tanzania), for their incredible wildlife knowledge and perfect positioning for photography. Thanks to them, we saw the Big Five, cheetah kills, the Great Migration, and so much more.
Highly recommend Splendid Vacations—they made our dream safari a reality!

An Unforgettable 8-Day Adventure with Splendid Vacations
We booked an 8-day Kenya and Tanzania safari with Splendid Vacations, covering Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Northern and Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and ending in Amboseli. The experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish.
Alice did a superb job organizing and tailoring the itinerary to suit our preferences. She was extremely patient, responsive, prompt in communication, and incredibly accommodating. Her efforts resulted in a seamless, well-coordinated safari across both Kenya and Tanzania.
Our accommodations included:
• Sopa Lodge (Lake Nakuru)
• Zebra Plains Camp (Masai Mara)
• Tanzania Bush Camp (Northern Serengeti)
• Mewe Tented Camp (Central Serengeti)
• Country Lodge Karatu (Ngorongoro)
• Oilepo Amboseli (Amboseli)
Each place offered impeccable rooms, delicious food, and exceptional service. The mix of hotels and bush camps created the perfect balance between comfort and authentic safari adventure.
Alice promptly addressed every request or clarification we had, both before and during our trip, which added to our confidence and comfort throughout the journey.
Special thanks to our amazing guides/game drivers: Masila in Kenya and Tony in Tanzania. Their excellent driving skills, deep knowledge of wildlife, and thoughtful attention ensured we had the best possible sightings. They consistently positioned the vehicle perfectly for photography and went above and beyond to make our game drives unforgettable.
Thanks to them, we saw the Big Five and countless other animals up close in their natural habitats.
• Kenya highlights:
• A cheetah with its prey
• Two lions with a hippo kill
• A leopard feasting on its prey
• Numerous white rhinos
• Several lion prides
• Special mention to Masila for his tireless efforts in tracking and finding the elusive leopard
• Tanzania highlights:
• Witnessing the Great Migration
• Lion prides with playful cubs
• A cheetah with its cub and a fresh kill, up close
• Flocks of flamingos
Overall, we had a phenomenal safari experience. We highly recommend Splendid Vacations to anyone planning their next African adventure. The trip was excellent value for the quality of service, attention to detail, and unforgettable memories created. We would absolutely book with Splendid again for our next safari!

Ran into organizational problems
I am afraid our eight-day trip with Splendid Vacations wasn’t the five-star experience that the majority of other customers have had. Our driver, John, was very good, and we saw a lot of of animals; however, the company’s scheduling was often off-the-mark. For example, the planned 5 AM pick up time for our hot air balloon ride was changed to hours earlier, resulting in a significant lack of sleep, to say the least.
But the absolute worst situation occurred on our last day, where Splendid Vacations alerted me with less than 24-hours notice that our next day’s afternoon flight from Amboseli to Nairobi didn’t have enough passengers to warrant the trip (did no one realize this anytime sooner?!) I had to scramble to reorganize things, which caused us to lose out on our Masai village visit, and forced us to find something else to do in Nairobi following what was now an early morning flight (and we had already spent a full day touring Nairobi at the start of our trip).
We ended up touring Nairobi National Park in a land cruiser that had a pop-up roof which suddenly collapsed several times, barely missing my wife’s head at one point. The driver seemed inept at taking care of things, and also had a personality that made us feel like we were on our way to a funeral! Even though Splendid Vacations moved some things around, we ended up settling for lunch at the same place we had eaten a week earlier, and I’m sure I ended up taking a loss on a lot of of prepaid money as a result of all this.
Professional, well planned and reliable 6-day safari in Kenya
As a sole traveler, I was searching for a safe, reliable and tailored trip in Kenya a Splendid Vacations delivered exactly that.
From the very beginning until the end of our safari trip, Alice was incredibly supportive and responsive – always ready to answer any questions and help accommodating every request I made.
My driver-guide John was one of the most experienced and knowledgeable in the company, and the responsible for the smooth and wonderful trip. I never felt more safe. We were incredibly lucky cheetahs in a hunt – an unforgettable moment for both of us!
Highly recommend Splendid Vacations to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and well-organized safari experience.
Absolutely unforgettable safari experience!
We recently returned from the most amazing safari adventure, all thanks to Splendid Vacations! From our very first consultation to the booking process and the actual safari itself, everything was seamless and so well organised.
A huge shoutout to our wonderful tour consultant, Alice, who was simply fantastic. She was always available to answer our endless questions, patiently helping us fine-tune every detail. She put together an itinerary that was exactly what we dreamed of — and more!
Our game drivers were equally incredible. In Kenya, we had Caleb, and in Tanzania, Erick. Both were absolute pros — friendly, knowledgeable, and knew exactly where to find the animals. Thanks to them, we saw the Big 5 and so many other animals up close in their natural habitat. The highlight was definitely the balloon safari over the Masai Mara and watching the lions ravish their morning kill up close.
The accommodations — a mix of hotels and bush camps — were perfect, each one adding to the authentic safari feel while still being comfortable and welcoming.
We can’t thank Splendid Vacations enough for making this dream trip a reality. If you’re considering a safari, we wholeheartedly recommend them — you’ll be in excellent hands from start to finish!
