Issa was very knowledgable about all the animals in the safari and we had a good laugh with him!
Issa, our driver picked us from our house and stopped regularly to give us a break and snacks. He knew lots of information about the animals we saw and we were able to see a lot while staying for one night.

Amazing experience with the best driver!
This was the perfect trip for our little family (2 adults and 2 kids 7 & 8). This was our first trip to Africa and we had a lot of questions but Splendid Vacations provided all the answers. When we did arrive to Tanzania we were taken care of at every step. Our driver was amazing and made sure to answer our questions and helped make the kids get involved and excited about the animals. An amazing experience and look forward to booking with them again!

Great tour!
The tour was amazing! Jeff was great and did an excellent job of finding all of the animals in the parks and he was so knowledgeable on all of the animals and the birds. We enjoyed every bit of this tour including the lodging and overall it was a great experience.

Great experience
We did a 4 day safari tour with Suricata to Tarangire/Serengeti/Ngorongoro and highly recommend them. The guide/lodges/food was all very good which made the experience even better

Amazing - once in a lifetime
I want to thank ROBIN for taking care of me and the group during the once in a lifetime safari trip from June 14-18. As a female travelling solo for the first time in Kenya, he really made me feel safe and comfortable! I love that my stuff was actually safe in the car and the accommodations especially since I was carrying my camera and telephoto lens for the first time. What I also loved was he always had water available which was great and much needed. This was my first safari so of course I'll never forget it and he is a part of that.
We saw 4 of the big 5: elephants, lions (lots of them), buffalo, and rhino. Just didn't see the leopard but we saw a beautiful cheetah! He made sure to try to make everyone happy --- stopped for the birdwatchers, the giraffe lovers, and just the general request take the amazing Masai mara scenery in --- thank you for stopping for the sunset!
We saw so many animals - it was like seeing them and learning about them for the first time. Truly a magical experience.
Thank you Robin for your cool personality and for the great adventure. Hope to see you again!

Why 4 stars instead of 5:
1. I hope the tour can be more accomodating to Muslims - one of the restaurants said that everything was halal except the chicken-- I would've eaten it by mistake if I hadn't asked. I was initially told that everything will be halal. A lot of hotels weren't aware of what halal was.... Not sure how this works...
2. Last hotel --- Chambai Safari in Navaisha-- had a glass window like blinds in the bathroom where anyone could see and look into the bathroom!! Please take note to not place any guests there until this is resolved as that's unacceptable. Rest of the accomodations were great!! Especially the resort with the massage -- Jennifer was amazing. The lenchada camp exceeded expectations --- clean - hot showers - decent regular food

Incredible - highly recommend
We chose the lodge option for the 4 day tour. Covered Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire. Saw all the big 5 as well as more animals. The accommodation was a big surprise - two of them being deep in the national park conservation area. Thank you to the Suricata team !

The best safari experience!
Shopping for a first time safari vacation can be daunting but Phillip from African Wildlife Plains made the entire process very smooth! He was not only patient with all the questions but helpful and honest. From start to finish everything was exceptional. The personal greeting at the airport to making sure nothing was for want and worry free. Thank you Phillip and your team for making our first time in SA very special. Until the next time!
