Awesome Mara Safari
5/5

We had a great time during our 3 day tour to the zebra Mara camp. We did a full day game drive with our guide James, who has a terrific knowledge and a great sense of humor. We saw so many lions and all the other great animals. Accommodation can also be highly recommended. We especially liked our high intensity Picknick lunch close to the lions ;)

The trip was amazing!
5/5

They were great! They planned a great trip that included so much more than most other tours. Highly recommend adding that balloon safari! We left cash and valuables in the truck and it was never touched. We trusted them and felt very safe.

5/5

From the moment we landed to our departure, every detail was flawlessly orchestrated, ensuring a seamless and magical experience. Our guide, Willy, was nothing short of amazing-his expertise and passion brought the wonders of Kenya to life, allowing us to see everything we dreamed of and more. We love you, Willy, and when we come back, you'll be stuck with us again!
If you're planning a trip to Kenya, do yourself a favor and reach out to them and ask for Willy.
They crafted an itinerary that exceeded all expectations, making our journey truly special. I can't wait to return and explore even more with them!

An amazing adventure from start to finish
5/5

I can’t say enough about this whole operation. From start to finish e ruined made this experience seem less. The booking was smooth, Maryann was extremely helpful and friendly.
When we arrived our guide Willy was friendly and kind. He played awesome reggae music for us the whole drive to the preserve. He was extremely knowledgeable and catered to all our needs.
The staff at the resort takes all pressure off of your shoulders and anticipates all your needs.
The food was amazing and the staff is so nice.
Stephen, Cynthia and Wilson went out of their way to accommodate anything we wanted.
The wieght of the world rolls off your shoulders at this place. I can’t say enough about everything. If we ever return to Kenya- this is where we will be returning! A million thanks!!!

Excellent experience from start to finish
5/5

Beautiful safari with Splendid Vacation. Excellent organization from start to end. They picked us up at our Resort with a Toyota 4x4 just for our group of 5 people. Our driver was James, unfortunately he didn't speak Italian as requested so we definitely missed something in the explanations but he was searching every time for animals. James knew where to go for the best viewing and photography opportunities. He was kind and punctual. We visited Tsavo East and West and Amboseli. Lodges recommended by the company were all excellent, clean and comfortable, all with nice pools to swim in. During the safari we saw many elephants and antelopes as well as buffalo, giraffes, zebras and even 2 lionesses with 2 cubs. We also have a night safari. We seen 4 of the big 5. The trip was excellent, we enjoyed it a lot.

Excellent experience for first time safari tour
5/5

**Our First African Safari with Splendid Vacations**

This was our first trip to Africa and our first safari experience, but Splendid Vacations made it truly unforgettable. From their professional tour management and comfortable vehicle to the excellent accommodations and incredible game drives, every detail exceeded our expectations.

Our driver and guide, Julias, made each day extraordinary. Every game drive brought new and exciting discoveries, and his passion and dedication kept us inspired throughout the journey. He encouraged us to embrace every moment, making our adventure even more rewarding.

This trip went far beyond what we had imagined. We wholeheartedly recommend Splendid Vacations and Julias to anyone seeking an exceptional safari experience.

Huge thanks to @splendid for organizing such an unforgettable trip! Everything was so well-planned—from the itinerary to the accommodations. I didn’t have to worry about a thing! The team was super friendly, always responsive, and made sure we were comfortable at every step.The best packages i got from the few surveys for the Kenya 10 days wildlife safari.
I have been contacted by Dennis from Splendid Vacations and he has provided the 10 days perfect Safari packages as per my request. All our stays was clean, modern, and well-equipped with good locations where can see animals 🦓🦒🐃 from our room.The staff were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable.The breakfast spread was also really impressive with both local and Western options. Overall, a fantastic stay.
He always follow up with me on the safari plan and even help me a lot with my ETA submission to Kenya as we are having some issues with the name printed in ETA as per our passports.
The... Read more price, selection of accommodations and game drive is exactly followed as per itinerary listed in the packages from day 1 to day 10.

Well organised tour with great experiences and without any problems
5/5

We went on a 6 day safari in April 2025 with Splendid Vacations. The tour was very well organised and the itinerary could be adjusted beforehand at our own request. Questions prior to the start of the safari were always answered quickly and there were no outstanding issues. The tour guide James was great and was one of the main reasons for the awesome experience . He was always on site at the agreed times and gave us great insights during the safaris, but also during the drives from one camp to the next. The camps were all very clean and in good condition.
The trip ended up being much more than we expected, was a extraordinary experience and we would do this again and again through Splendid Vacations.

We had an unforgettable 4-day safari experience organized by Splendid Vacations! From start to finis
5/5

We had an amazing 4-day safari organized by Splendid Vacations — an experience we’ll never forget! Everything was smooth and well taken care of from the beginning to the end.

A special thanks to our guide, Mwololo, who was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe and welcome throughout the journey. His experience and sharp eyes allowed us to see a wide variety of wildlife, especially in Amboseli National Park, where we enjoyed incredible views of elephants, antelopes, birds, and even a hyena!

Our stay in Taita Hills was especially memorable — a peaceful and cozy experience where we almost had the place to ourselves. Tsavo East was a bit more challenging in terms of wildlife spotting, but we were lucky enough to see lions there, which was a real highlight.

All the accommodations along the way were clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. We were also very lucky with the weather — even though it was the rainy season, we had no rain during the days,... Read more making our safari even more enjoyable.

We highly recommend Splendid Vacations for anyone looking for a well-organized, authentic, and unforgettable safari adventure!

Wonderful and thoughtful experience
5/5

We had booked a private tour through Spendid for 5 days and had the most amazing adventure! The beauty of various locations across Kenya (and in particular Masai Mara) is of course everything we had wanted and more, and saw lots of animals despite it being “off peak” season.

The Splendid team itself was also wonderful, Rachel who was incredibly patient and helpful in assisting us to find the right package, and was checking in on us during the trip. We really appreciated the time we got to spend on the road with our driver / guide Augustine who did a great job getting us to locations not only safely but with a lot more knowledge. He also did his best in tracking down the big five for us :)

All in all, we had a wonderful trip and would love to return again some day. Highly recommend this tour operator!
