Absolutely Splendid! Unforgettable Experience – Exceptional Service from Start to Finish!
It has always been my father’s dream to go on an African safari, and Splendid Vacations helped us turn that dream into an unforgettable reality with a 5 days/ 4night trip in the Masai Mara.
Rachael M. was an absolute pleasure to work with from day one. She was incredibly responsive, patient through multiple itinerary revisions and quotes, and ensured we found the perfect fit for our trip. Her last-minute upgrade to Little Zebra River West made our father-son trip truly special.
On the ground, our guide Gabriel was extraordinary. His deep knowledge of the parks is second to none it felt like navigating his own backyard! He consistently went above and beyond to secure the best vantage points for us, leading to breathtaking wildlife encounters that left my father beaming every single day. On Day 3 in the Masai Mara, just when we thought that we had seen it all, Gabriel positioned us front-row to two lionesses, feasting on a wildebeest and topped it, by a rare leopard sighting!
Gabriel is a true asset to Splendid Vacations. If you are planning a trip of a lifetime, I cannot recommend this company, Rachael, and Gabriel highly enough.

Trustable
Good value for the price offered. The driver-guide was very pleasant and made the long hours in the car bearable during the transfers, with very good knowledge of the parks.

Brilliant 8 day unique safari across Kenya
This tour was booked by my sister who did a lot of research and we have found it to be absolutely incredible. Rachel was informative, prompt and arranged everything with ease and professionalism, creating an unforgettable and magical tour. I think there has been good value for money and great to use a local company based in Narobi with expert knowledge.
This 8 day bespoke tour has been brilliant from the offset. Our truck is top notch, with charging points, an amazing fridge and our driver was even better! Alex was knowledgeable, funny, helpful and was always able to answer our questions in great detail. He completely looked after us during the entirety of our trip, at every stop over, shop, safari park and lodge. He paid attention to our needs, was able to offer advice and always found the best photo opportunities, especially for my sister with her camera. He planned ahead, was able to get us to the most incredible animals faster than any other guides ensuring we had the best view of all the animals. We saw not only the Big 5 but so many other incredible creatures from birds to hyenas, including 3 leopards and a cheetah. I have seen more animals than I could ever have expected and not only that, but I have been so impressed by the beauty of Kenya, from its picturesque landscapes to the warm and welcoming Kenyan people I have met along the way.
Many of the lodges have been very beautiful, with excellent service and food. Mara Enkaji in the Masai Mara was a particular highlight for its customer service, attention to detail, delicious food and immaculate rooms. Salt Lick Lodge also had the most spectacular views of elephants and other animals feeding from the water holes and from the circular rooms on stilts.
On our journey across Kenya we have travelled an incredible number of miles, seeing landscapes from the grasslands of the Masai Mara to the jungles of Lake Nukuru to the red sands of Tsavo East, with our expert guide Alex this has flown by. His driving has never ceased to impress me and I have taken photos so beautiful that my friends have compared them to AI as they can’t believe how close I am to lions, giraffes, elephants and more!
I will be avidly recommending Splendid Vacations to all of my friends and family. This has been a trip of a lifetime and I can only hope to return one day with Splendid.

Incredible
We had a wonderful time on Safari! Our driver Alex was amazing and thanks to him we saw & photographed so many different mammal species, including all of the big 5, incredibly close. All the national parks were beautiful and it was wonderful to see the range of landscapes and vegetation across the country. Of the lodges, Salt Lick was a definite highlight, including seeing lions from our window at night. Additionally, Rachael was incredibly helpful with planning the itinerary and making adjustments to suit our needs.
