An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Splendid Vacations
I recently returned from a truly unforgettable safari trip organized by Splendid Vacations, and I can confidently say it was one of the best travel experiences I've ever had. From the very beginning, everything was seamless, thanks to the outstanding coordination by Alice, who handled all the details with professionalism and care.
Alice ensured that every part of the trip was thoughtfully planned — from our comfortable accommodations to the daily itinerary that balanced adventure and relaxation perfectly. Her attention to detail and commitment to making sure we had an enjoyable and stress-free experience was evident throughout the journey.
Our safari driver and guide, Tim, was equally exceptional. His knowledge of the wildlife and the local environment was impressive, and his passion for the bush made every game drive exciting and informative. Tim had a great eye for spotting animals — from elusive leopards to majestic elephants — and always made sure we were in the best position to witness nature up close, while prioritizing safety and respect for the animals.
Both Alice and Tim went above and beyond to make the trip special. Their friendliness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality made us feel more like welcomed guests than just clients.
I highly recommend Splendid Vacations to anyone looking for a well-organized, authentic, and memorable safari experience. Huge thanks to Alice and Tim for making this trip truly special!

Unforgettable Safari Experience
Our experience with African Family Safaris was wonderful. This was the highlight of our honeymoon. We were looking for something truly special—remote, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature. The team really listened and understood what we were after. They delivered a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Namibia.
Every detail of the trip was thoughtfully planned, from the location to all services. It felt like every moment was crafted just for us. The landscapes were breathtaking, the accommodations were intimate and luxurious, and the sense of tranquility was exactly what we needed.
The best part of our honeymoon for sure! We should have stayed another week and ditched Mauritius which I found a bit boring. A big thanks to African Family Safaris Team!

johannesburg: Soweto Half-Day Tour
This Soweto Half-Day Tour exceeded all our expectations, thanks to our incredible guide, Tshepo. From the moment we were picked up, Tshepo was warm, professional, and full of energy. He didn’t just give us facts—he told stories that made Soweto come alive.
We visited iconic sites like the Hector Pieterson Memorial, Vilakazi Street, and Nelson Mandela’s former home, and each stop was brought to life through Tshepo’s insightful and passionate storytelling. What stood out most was how he wove personal anecdotes into the broader history, making the tour feel deeply human and emotionally resonant.
Tshepo was also incredibly attentive to our group—answering every question, making sure we felt safe and comfortable, and even sharing local tips for the rest of our stay in Johannesburg.If you’re visiting Johannesburg, don’t miss this tour—and if you’re lucky enough to get Tshepo as your guide, you’re in for something truly special.
Highly recommended!

Awaken dream
Booking experience was perfect, we decided last minute to come to Kenya, simple chat via WhatsApp seals the deal for what looked like the best value for money
If you can chose try to ask for Aruni, even in the parks you can see how more experienced he is then everyone else, at some point we literally had the leopard in front of our car because he spent some time guessing where it would go
And all the other cars were blocked by the guards, but he came there before even when the leopard was not there.
I don't know if I explained it well, but that's a little tricky that really impressed us

Emanuel was always answering promtly. The Guide and Cook were really experienced and expert. All the parks have an own vibe and deserve to be seen. We were traveling with two kids and all the people were taking super good care of them. We would love to come back soon and suggest Crater Explorer to everyone! Asante!
