Best vacation of a lifetime.
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.

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!

Wonderful safari
Dennis from Splendid Vacations arranged for us a private tour of the best parks of Kenya. He was perfect in tailoring the trip for us, adjusting timing and accommodations according to our needs. Our trip with our 3 young daughters was simply amazing.
James, our driver, guide and part of the family for a week, has been wonderful in spotting all of the animals, including big 5 and ugly 5, and making fun every second of the trip. He is also great as a photographer, we have pictures that you can see only on TV documentary!
Seeing cheetahs hunting was also terrific!
We would definitively choose Splendid Vacations for our next trip to Kenya (maybe including Tanzania as well).
Thank you again James!

Excellent Service from Start to Finish
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.

Our heart's desire was fulfilled
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.

Exceptional safari with Timothy: expert guide, skilled driver, and unforgettable wildlife moments
From the first sight, Timothy distinguished himself as an exceptional guide and driver. His professionalism immediately put us at ease and set the stage for an extraordinary safari experience in Kenya.
We were in a 5-day trip through Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara. And we were lucky to meet not only the big 5 of Africa, but also an Ugly 5! Unfortunately, the Shy 5 was too shy 😂
Timothy’s knowledge of the terrain is nothing short of remarkable. Navigating complex safari routes without reliance on maps or GPS, he demonstrated both expertise and confidence, ensuring a seamless journey through diverse landscapes.
Equally impressive was his ability to identify and locate wildlife. Timothy’s keen eye allowed us to witness rare and unforgettable sightings that we might otherwise have missed (like leopards, lions etc).
Moreover, he is a great driver, and while others had problems with Masai Mara routes, we have none.
He consistently ensured that we had the time and opportunity to fully appreciate each encounter, whether observing quietly or capturing the moment on camera. His passion for the region, its wildlife, and the overall safari experience was evident.
Our safari, under Timothy’s guidance, was a real adventure. His professionalism, expertise, and love for a wildlife elevated the experience to the highest standard. For those seeking an outstanding guide, Splendid Vacations and Timothy come with the strongest possible recommendation.

Asante Sana!
We found Splendid Vacation through Safari Booking and got connected with James — he was honestly like my personal Google 🤣. Super helpful, patient, and always ready with answers no matter what I asked.
Pricewise, I had texted many other agencies, but Splendid was the one that matched my expectations best.
Our first safari experience was guided and driven by our favorite driver/tour guide, Steven. He’s firm, professional, and very experienced — we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the trip.
It was an 8-day safari and truly unforgettable. Thank you Splendid Vacation, especially James, Steven, and Simon, for making it so memorable. Can’t wait to be back one day!

Incredible tour guides! Once in a lifetime worthwhile experience.
My group of family friends (21 people total) travelled to Kenya for a 6-day safari with Splendid Vacations. We visited Amboseli NP, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara Reserve.
Our guides - Alex, Masila, Malolo, and Teemo — were very knowledgeable and personable. We saw every animal we hoped to see, including plenty of lions, a leopard, cheetah, elephants, rhinos, hippos, and so much more!
Splendid Vacations was also great about accommodating dietary restrictions and we were always well fed with nutritious food.
I definitely recommend booking a tour with this group, every bumpy car ride was worth it!

Very well-organized, communicative, and personable tour guides!
Communication:
We had an incredible experience on the Safari thanks to the meticulous planning by James. We had a large group of 21 people with differing requests and James worked with us every step of the way to customize our package.
Safari Experience:
Our 4 tour guides Alex, Timo, Masila, and Malolo were super personable and knowledgeable about the animals we were seeing. They were constantly communicating over radio to find the best viewing locations for our cars, and we saw all kinds of animals in multiple settings. Overall, the safari felt fulfilling, and I can confidently say that everyone in our group had a positive experience.
