An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Exceptional Service
5/5

My husband and I were visiting Kenya for the first time to do a safari. Brenda's professional responses and thoughtful communication made us feel at ease before the trip. We are also very grateful for our guide and driver, Julius, who took us to Nakuru Lake and Masai Mara National Reserve. He seemed to have an extraordinary sense of smell, as we managed to spot 16 lions, which was unbelievable! On the last day, as we were heading from Masai Mara to Nairobi airport, we encountered a huge traffic jam. Without Julius, I think we might have missed our flight. We were very lucky to have such a great operator and service for our first safari experience.

5/5

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
5/5

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
2/5

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.
