Unforgettable safari trip with the best guide
We had the best time with Splendid Vacations in Kenya. The team is responsive, accommodative and patient with our questions when we were discussing the itinerary. Everything during the trip was very smooth. Special thanks to our amazing guide/driver /zoologist/comedian/ photographer/Jack-of-all-trades James. He is an excellent driver able to navigate all sorts of terrains. His knowledge about animals and when/where to spot them is incomparable—we are always among the first batches to arrive at the scene of elephant crossing, leopard in the bushes, or even the hunting scene! James takes marvellous photos, and I learnt that he takes a special interest in photography. On the last day, we were stuck in traffic because of a protest. Just as we started to get worried about missing the flight, amazing James found a countryside road to get us out of the traffic! James is indeed full of surprises.

Professional reliable and operator
Our safari with Splendid Vacations Africa was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, the company really stood out among all operators by carefully listening to my briefing and customizing the trip exactly to my wishes — and within my budget.
The organization was smooth and professional throughout, with fast and clear communication from my tour contact, James. Our guide, Julius, was wonderful — professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and kind. My son was a very big fan of Julius.
The safari itself was an unforgettable experience, perfectly balanced between visits to the lakes and the Masai Mara. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five and many more animals, and the variety of activities — walking, biking, boating, and game drives — made every day exciting and different.
I can only highly recommend Splendid Vacations to anyone looking for a personalized, well-organized, and truly memorable safari adventure!

The Fastest Service!
We were at Kenya on September 2025, and I've been going to Africa since 2009, working countless tour companies, but Splendid Vacations are by far the fastest company to answer my queries. After I sent the first mail requesting a price for a private safari, Alice answered it, and I had my price, hotel reservations (in high season), full itinerary in two days. Usually it used to take at least a week to decide hotels, etc. It was too good to be true, so I was hesitant till the agent met us at the airport :). Everything was on time, as promised. Our guide Willy was great, he knows the area and animals very well, and as a native Nairobian, on the last day, he took us all the shopping places we need. Splendid Vacations is a Kenya company, and all the agents you talk live in Kenya. Before that, for some other companies, I had to talk with some people in Portugal, Spain. They don't know about the hotels (or knows as much as I do from the net), but Alice even knew people at the hotel and she talked them when I call her for some problems. She was very easily accessible during the safari. I recommend them for anybody. My friends with me had their first safari experience (mine was the 20th) and they had unforgettable times. Thanks to Splendid Vacations.

Good communication, the itinerary was well planned and gave us the confidence to use splendid
There are a number of companies out there offering these services, and most go with package deals often paying way more. The initial quotes and detailed itinerary, combined with great communication gave me the confidence to book directly with a company I felt knew what they were doing, and that we would have a good experience. We did so thank you Maryann & Tim our guide.
Give them a try

Incredibly knowledgeable and comforting.
My wife and I travelled with Splendid on a one week tour. Our driver was Willy and he was a massive reason why our trip was so successful. His knowledge about the animals, areas and his understanding of what we wanted out of the trip. We were never in a rush anywhere and always arrived ahead of time. Willy’s guidance all week was incredibly professional and we would highly reccomend him for anybody travelling with Splendid. The tour company provided a new truck with ample space for us and our bags. This could easily fit 4-6 people comfortably. From start to finish, the communications from the company and Willy was second to none. A hugely enjoyable experience with an incredible tour company. Thanks team.

Excellent from start to finish!
When we first reached out to Splendid Vacations, we felt excited and confident in the tour operators. Rachael had excellent communication throughout the whole booking process, providing a detailed itinerary and making changes promptly when needed.
From the moment our guide and driver, Willy, picked us up from the airport - we felt so welcomed and taken care of. Willy truly made our trip magical and it was smooth and well planned from start to finish! Willy has so much knowledge about each place we visited and each animal we saw, and every day was wonderful and memorable! He went above and beyond to exceed all our expectations. We couldn’t recommend Splendid Vacations and Willy enough - it was an unforgettable and smooth week in Kenya!
