Splendid Vacations – A Truly Memorable Safari
We chose Splendid Vacations for our 8-day journey to Kenya and Tanzania, and it turned out to be a perfect choice. Before departure, Maryann was always patient and responsive, answering our many questions and adjusting the itinerary through email. Even after arrival, whenever issues arose, she was quick and willing to help, which gave us great peace of mind.
During the trip, we had three guides, each leaving a wonderful impression. Alex worked tirelessly to find the best angles for photography, often anticipating where animals would approach so we could enjoy close encounters with breathtaking scenes. We indeed captured many good pictures and videos during the trip!He also brought us much joy throughout the journey.
Samwel impressed us with his daily effort to keep the safari vehicle clean and comfortable after each game drive. His driving was steady, and he supported us with practical needs such as buying SIM cards, exchanging currency, and visiting shops. During our dinner with Samwel, we also learned quite a bit of the local language and listened to him share about his own life, which allowed us to understand more about the local culture. It was a fun and meaningful exchange.His humor and patience made the experience even more enjoyable, and we were lucky to witness both the Big Five and the Great Migration with him.
The third guide we met was Julius, with whom we spent a shorter amount of time.He shared with us a wealth of knowledge about elephants, and through our conversations we could feel that he is truly a nature lover, bringing us many detailed observations and experiences. He is also a humorous and cheerful “big guy” . Most importantly, from him we genuinely experienced the spirit of Hakuna Matata. On our last evening, while having dinner, we suddenly received the news that our flight had been cancelled, which made us immediately worried. After meeting him and explaining the situation, possibly needing him to extend his time to take us to the airport, he kept reassuring us with the phrase “Hakuna Matata,” which gave us peace of mind. We are grateful to him for finally escorting us safely to the airport, ensuring our luggage was handled securely, and bringing our journey to a perfect close.
Thanks to Splendid Vacations, our very first safari was complete and fulfilling. Every moment in Africa felt precious and full of happiness. We are deeply grateful for the team’s professionalism, care, and dedication, and we highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari.
Excellent and safe service for first time safari
Julius was my guide for a four day portion of a larger Kenya & Tanzania Safari tour with Splendid Vacations. Julius was knowledgeable, organised and made me feel at ease, as a female solo traveller. I wished to prioritise seeing rhinos at Lake Nakuru & Julius was able to make this happen! I would be happy to recommend Julius as a safari guide and Rachael as a travel consultant for splendid vacations to other travellers.
With 20+ years experience, our guide, Timothy Kyalo, coupled deep expertise with sincere kindness.
From responsive, customer focused and thorough planning to warm welcomes and meticulous execution, Brenda and the entire staff at Splendid Vacations took care of it all with expertise and kindness. Every detail was taken care of and communicated such that we could simply focus on enjoying the trip we had always talked about and dreamed of. From start to finish, the experience far exceeded even our highest expectations. From seeing baby rhinos, hippos, elephants, lions, giraffes and so much more, to unexpected upgrades and first class accommodations, the value was exceptional. Sincere thanks to the entire team for making our 25th wedding anniversary unforgettable.

Amazing Holiday @ Kenya Safari
We had an incredible Kenya safari holiday with Splendid Vacations, and it was absolutely perfect! From Amboseli’s elephants to the Mara River crossings, every moment was magical. The itinerary was brilliantly planned, with exciting game drives and beautiful scenery.
Our admin, James, made booking effortless—quick replies, clear information, and patient answers to all our questions. Our tour guides, Alex and William, were exceptional: knowledgeable, passionate, and always positioning us for the best wildlife sightings and photos.
Alex in particular made sure we saw everything we had hoped to see, as promised. We were thoroughly entertained throughout the journey.
Every lodge and camp exceeded our expectations—comfortable, beautifully located, and with great vibes. We saw the Big Five, witnessed the river crossings, and created memories we’ll cherish forever.

We had an amazing safari.
The communication with the office was very good and fast. Communication with both of our guides also worked very well in English.
The service was outstanding. Our guides cleaned the vehicle every evening, always provided drinking water, organized our lunches with the lodges, and helped us with all our special requests, such as getting a local SIM card. Everything was very well organized, and they were always on time.
The safari itself was unforgettable. We started in the Masai Mara in Kenya, where our guide Gabriel did an amazing job and always found the best wildlife viewing spots. After crossing into Tanzania, the immigration process and handover to our guide Jackson were smooth. In the Serengeti we, Jackson Team, had another fantastic experience. Overall, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, the Ugly Five, and part of the Great Migration after the team adjusted our itinerary at short notice following our request. Our guides also shared a lot of interesting information about the wildlife, answered all our questions, and always took our wishes into account, making the trip truly special.
The safari is a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget.
