A wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience!
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience with Splendid Vacations, and every detail from start to finish was handled with the utmost care.
Working with Dennis to plan our itinerary was a pleasure. He paid incredible attention to detail, was extremely quick to reply, and answered all our questions thoroughly throughout the planning process. His expertise made us feel completely prepared and confident leading up to the trip.
From our initial pick-up in Nairobi to our final drop-off, the service was seamless and stress-free. Our driver and guide, Timothy, was exceptional. Not only was he a knowledgeable and engaging guide, but he was also a fantastic driver. We always felt completely safe with him—he was especially mindful and always made sure we were securely seated before moving during game drives. Timothy was very knowledgeable with his years of experience. We had many questions throughout the safari and he was able to answer them all. We were able to get amazing pictures and Timothy always had a great suggestion or shot in mind.
Every camp and lodge we selected was amazing. The facilities were beautiful, the accommodations were comfortable, and the food throughout the trip was outstanding.
If you are looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and well-organized travel agency for your safari, we cannot recommend Splendid Vacations (and Dennis and Timothy!) highly enough. We would definitely book with them again!

Extremely pleasant experience
Had a very pleasant experience with splendid vacations. From the get go Alice was extremely prompt with providing tailored quotes that suited our wants/needs for the safari. She answered all questions in a timely manner and was very helpful. Our guide and driver, Gabriel was lovely. He has fantastic knowledge about all the animals in various parks/reserves and answered any and all of our questions thoroughly. He looked after us extremely well whilst on safari, ensuring we had an amazing time and was a great driver, navigating tricky terrain to ensure we got the best photographs. Would highly recommend splendid vacations.

Splendid Vacation and Safari!
Such a splendid vacation and safari!
👍 Consultant: Alice 5/5
We booked our 10-day Kenya-Tanzania round trip safari nearly half a year in advance. Our consultant, Alice, was exceptionally professional and thoughtful. She provided us with a detailed itinerary and was always quick and helpful in answering all our questions. She also kindly arranged our airport transfers.
👍 Guide: Rono 5/5
During our trip, our guide in Kenya, Rono, was passionate, highly experienced, and amazingly knowledgeable. He could identify individual animals and knew their family background! In Maasai Mara, we were lucky enough to witness amazing wildlife interactions—buffalos chasing lions, as well as a cheetah and a lion hunting gazelles, along with so many other wild animals. In Amboseli, we were treated to a clear view of the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro and had the privilege of meeting Michael, the famous 35-year-old elephant. The entire experience was truly incredible and unforgettable!
Besides, we spent a memorable time in Tanzania with our guide, Abu. Although the road conditions in Tanzania were quite bumpy and dusty, and our jeep got two flat tires along the way, Abu handled everything quickly and efficiently. We successfully collected all Big Five in Ngorongoro Crater, perfect!
Overall, it was such a splendid and refreshing experience for us. We hope to come back again in the future!
Helpful and professional advice, bookings, communications and driving
We had a wonderful time with our driver James who was a brilliant spotter and was excellent at positioning the Land Cruiser so that we were in an optimum position for photography. We loved his enthusiasm for his job which shone through. Always punctual and willing to adapt to us. Never a dull moment. Took up the challenge to find wildlife we wanted to see and always delivered. Very good knowledge of wildlife.
The planning was well managed by Brenda in the office and she followed up regularly. Good customer care culture in the company obviously.
We thought some aspects of outsourced services were highly priced such as the externally run night drive, the balloon and the charge for booking internal flights. Not a comment on Splendid but worth knowing if you are thinking of doing these. Be aware you will rarely get 8 hours sleep because of the early starts!

Highly recommend Jackson for your Tanzania trip!!!
We did Tanzania safari with Splendid!
Jackson was our Tanzania guide! He was amazing and truly one of the highlights of our Tanzania safari! He was friendly, professional and incredibly proactive throughout the trip.
You can really tell that he loves what he does.
He was always attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. He also shared so much knowledge with us about the animals, the safari and the environment, which made the experience even more meaningful and enjoyable.
It was really fun having Jackson as our guide, and we genuinely enjoyed every moment with him. We would highly recommend Jackson to anyone planning a safari or travelling to Tanzania. You’ll definitely be in good hands with him! 👍🏻☺️💕
