An Amazing 5-Day Safari with our Guide, James
We had an unforgettable 5-day safari with Splendid Vacations, and we would especially like to thank our guide, James. He was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about wildlife. Throughout the trip, he always did his best to help us spot animals and patiently explained their behaviors and the ecosystem, making every game drive both exciting and educational.
James carefully planned each day’s route to maximize our wildlife viewing opportunities, and thanks to his experience, we enjoyed a rich and fulfilling safari experience with many unforgettable sightings. He was also friendly, punctual, and always made sure we were comfortable and safe.
Kenya travel with James is a excellent experience
James is a very experienced guide.
He is familiar with animals live patterns and willing to share knowledge with us.
And he also has a good luck, we saw all target animals in 3 days. Which is very important to Safari experience.
If you safari with James, then you are lucky.
Humorous and hard-working, good at safari.
The travel agent is good, plan lots of interesting activities.

An amazing honeymoon
Where do I even begin?
The planning and organising process was easy and smooth. Maryanne answered all my questions (and I had many) and was able to tailor our experience to suit our needs, changing accomodation, cutting days ect.
Each accommodation we stayed in was wonderful. All the staff super attentive and respectful, the food phenomenal and the rooms were comfortable and luxurious. We have to give a special mention to Entim in Mara Masai, we were blown away!
Our drivers were outstanding.
John was quick and made sure that we got to see all the action! He communicated with us well and the other drivers on the drives to get the best spots.
Jackson always had a smile in his face. He was kind and patient (especially when was necessary for the migration crossing). We really appreciated his commitment and positive attitude.
Ronald was flexible and informative. He gave us so much information about different types of species of animals and stopped every time there was a new type that he knew we hadn’t seen. He was also flexible with our safari times.
Overall, a honeymoon we will remember for our lifetime!

Wonderful and unforgettable
Our safari trip to Kenya and Tanzania was truly an unforgettable experience.
Throughout the journey, we saw an incredible variety of wildlife, including hippos, large herds of elephants, lions, leopards, hyenas, and many other animals that we had previously only seen in documentaries. Being able to observe them up close in their natural habitat was absolutely amazing. Every day brought something new and exciting, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.
The local tour operator also provided excellent service. Everything was well organized, including the airport pick-up and drop-off, which made the whole journey smooth, comfortable, and stress-free.
A special thank you to Rachael, our main point of contact. She was always warm, responsive, and proactive, and helped us resolve every issue we encountered throughout the trip. Her support and attention to detail made us feel reassured and well taken care of from beginning to end.
We would also like to thank our guides, Willian, Michale, and Martin. They were all kind, patient, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. They shared fascinating information about the animals, the local environment, and African culture. Their experience and sharp observation skills helped us spot so many animals, and they always made sure we had the best possible viewing positions and enough time to enjoy the moment and take photos.
Beyond their professional knowledge, they also brought so much positive energy and emotional support to the trip. They were friendly, humorous, and attentive, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the journey.
Overall, this safari was an amazing and memorable experience. The wildlife, landscapes, organization, and service were all fantastic. We would highly recommend this safari to anyone planning to visit Kenya and Tanzania.

Splendid safari: trip of a lifetime
The trip was perfectly planned from beginning to end. The communication with Alice was efficient and she was always able to accommodate our requests. We were lucky enough to have the wonderfully wise Mwololo as our tour guide. He taught us so much over the nine days and was always ready to accommodate felxibilities in the schedule. We would like to have him next time!

Trip of a lifetime
We had a great 9D8N safari to Kenya and Tanzania thanks to Splendid Vacations. The whole experience starting from receiving quote to itinerary planning and eventual trip was well organised, seamless and very much splendid. It started with Rachael who was very effective in communicating the options and price range as well as tailoring the itinerary to other elements we wanted to incorporate (Maasai village tour, Hot Air Balloon safari in Serengti). Rachael did a great job in replying quickly and was clear in her communication, making the admin process very seamless
On the ground in Kenya & Tanzania, we were very lucky to have 3 incredible guides. We had Julius for the first part of our Kenya trip, Jackson for Tanzania and Alex for the second part of Kenya. All three guides did an excellent job in sharing their knowledge of the animals, making sure we had the best positions for photos of the wildlife and were conscious in helping us find the animals we really wanted to see (big cats). My wife and I really appreciated that they constantly checked in on us to ensure we were comfortable throughout the trip and confirming /adjusting the plan each day based on what we wanted to see. It was a brilliant safari and this is a trip we thoroughly enjoyed and will hopefully be back in Africa soon!

Splendid organisation with Splendid vacation
From the quote to the post holiday period, I have been extremely happy with Splendid Vacations. The quote was very detailed and easy to modify to adjust exactly to our needs and budget. The holiday itself went really well, with Rono our great guide , really nice accommodation with very available staff (almost too much at times!). Sammy communicated frequently to make sure everything was on track, ready to make changes if needed. Warmly recommend!

nice and genuine
The first day Janet kindly led us to buy the SIM card and told us a lot about the Safari. The guide Augustin is also very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the animals.
