Our heart's desire was fulfilled
5/5

Our trip to Kenya fulfilled a long-held dream. We had our trip planned through Splendid Vacation. Rachael customized our itinerary to our individual needs, and everything was superbly organized. Thank you so much for that. Julius, our safari guide and driver, also did a fantastic job. We had so much fun and saw so many incredible animals and landscapes, and everyone was so incredibly nice. We hope to come back one day. It was simply a dream.

Excellent Service from Start to Finish
5/5

We had an amazing safari experience with this company, and we’d love to share it.

First of all, our customer service Alice was fantastic. She responded to all our questions quickly and provided us with very helpful information. She arranged our itinerary in advance according to our needs and also reminded us what to prepare before the trip.

Our guide Willy was outstanding. He is extremely professional and an excellent driver. With his use of the intercom and phone, he was able to find the best animal sightings faster and avoid traffic jams. Most importantly, he arranged our daily schedules very thoughtfully, adapting flexibly to different situations. On our last day, when we decided to add an extra day of safari at the last minute, Willy managed to adjust and organize everything right away.

The Land Cruiser was spacious and comfortable, easily fitting luggage for five people. The vehicle was also equipped with a binocular and a camera bean bag, which made photography much easier.

Lastly, for the final two nights, it even offered us a complimentary upgrade, which was a wonderful surprise.

Overall, everything was perfectly arranged, from customer service to guiding, transport, and accommodations.

Kenya Safari
5/5

Our safari trip was amazing and the pre trip communication with James was reliable and reassuring. Our driver Steven was fantastic and informative. I would recommend a safari with this company!

Agency is reliable, but jeep and organization need improvement
3/5

We booked this agency through safaribookings.com based on the good reviews and quick communication with Brenda. Everything was easy to arrange and the cost was as expected, with the option to pay part of it in cash upon arrival in Nairobi.

Overall, the experience was positive, but for the price we expected better.

Jeep: ours (plate KBP 454K) was in very poor condition (broken seats, torn upholstery, seat belts not working, serious fuel tank problems). Refueling took over 40 minutes while other jeeps managed in 2. On top of this, we had to deal with multiple flat tires — even the two spare wheels were punctured, forcing us to repair them on the way and wasting a lot of time.

Guide/Driver: Dan did his best, but combining both roles is not ideal. He seemed inexperienced and lacked basic equipment (no binoculars). Driving and spotting animals at the same time is very difficult.

Transfers/Timing: travel times were much longer than promised (about +50%), which cut short our safari time. For example, we paid USD 400 but had only 3 hours inside the Masai Mara.

In short: reliable agency and smooth booking, but the vehicle quality and organization need serious improvement.

Best vacation of a lifetime.
5/5

We highly recommend Splendid Vacations! Starting off, James was so helpful in helping us book an 8 day itinerary. He went above and beyond to help us find accommodations as we were traveling during peak times. George was waiting for us at the airport and helped us get settled in. Our tour guide Marsilla (Alex) is definitely the gem of the tour company. He is very charismatic, intelligent and is somehow friends with everyone. He’s an incredible driver and made us feel very safe the entire journey. Our hotels were very unique with amazing view. The food was okay, but the hospitality was excellent. We managed to cover so much of Kenya in our 8 days and are so grateful to the Splendid Vacations team for our amazing vacation.
