Amazing experience from start to finish!
Everything was perfectly organized. From the pickup at the airport to the drop off at the end of our 4 day journey.
Every day was a new adventure and our guide made sure we were at the best places at the best time. Saw every animal we wanted to see, multiple times and often it was just our safari truck and the animals, with no other people around. This was due to the years of experience of our lovely guide.

Spirit of Kenya - Captured in All Its Glory
On behalf of Andrew and myself, I just want to say a huge 'thank you' to Spirit of Kenya and especially to Vanessa through whom I arranged the trip and our wonderful guide Thomas.
Throughout the booking process Vanessa's prompt and detailed responses to my questions gave me the confidence to book our safari through Spirit of Kenya and I am so glad I did.
We were looked after so well it exceeded my experience on any other safari. From the point at which we were met at the airport and transferred to the waiting car with Spirit of Kenya staff with us 100% of the time to being transferred back to the airport and taken up to the departure lounge.
The safari itself was wonderful and Thomas looked after us superbly. He is an excellent driver, kind, fun, and very knowledgeable. We felt completely safe travelling through Kenya with Thomas and in the parks he did his utmost to show Kenya to us in all its glory. Cheetah, leopard, lion (so many lion), elephants in good numbers in both the Mara but particularly Samburu, white rhino (Nakuru), the birth of a thompsons gazelle, hippo, crocodile, gerenuk, oryx ...
We both felt so safe with Thomas, he provided us with the reassurance we needed, his stature no doubt helps but he is so good with people, whilst we did not have any issues during the trip we felt confident that whatever arose that Thomas would be able to deal with it.
The accommodation throughout the trip was 'top notch' and the staff at each so welcoming and the food was wonderful.
Needless to say I am already thinking about returning. It will be much easier to plan next time as I know who I'll be booking with 'Spirit of Kenya'.

Dickson. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and the parks
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Safari Experience in Kenya!
Our safari in Kenya was nothing short of extraordinary! From start to finish, every detail exceeded our expectations — the breathtaking wildlife sightings, the delicious food, the comfortable and well-kept accommodations — everything was truly perfect.
But what made this trip absolutely unforgettable was our guide, Dickson. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and the parks, but also one of the kindest and most attentive people we’ve ever met. Dickson was always looking out for our safety and comfort, making sure we had the best experience possible.
Thanks to his keen eye and expertise, we were able to spot so many animals up close — lions, elephants, giraffes, you name it! He made each game drive exciting and educational, and his warm personality made us feel at home the entire time.
We feel so lucky to have had Dickson as our guide — he truly went above and beyond in every way. If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, we can’t recommend this experience enough, especially with Dickson leading the way.
This was the trip of a lifetime, and we’ll cherish these memories forever.

The tour operator was welcoming, always ready to satisfy our needs, very kind
Our 5-day safari was amazing! Our guide, Jackton, was wonderful, kind, and friendly. He explained the history of the parks and the tribes that lived there. We will recommend Green Places Adventures to our friends and family because it was a wonderful trip.

Wonderful experience very well organised
We spent a wonderful safari, the organisator Raymond was always here for us, organising the transport from the airport and after the safari. During the safari we saw many animals, ate very well and enjoyed the different parks. The driver Frank was very professional and answering our needs. We met a lot of nice people and enjoyed our holidays

Very kind attentive and always there for questions.
The safari (3 days in Amboseli) was very well organized. Everything went smoothly and just as expected. We were picked up at noon directly from the hotel and drove to Amboseli National Park. The accommodation was simple but absolutely worth the money. The safari itself was beautiful, and we saw many animals.
Water was always available. We were seven people in a van and had a great group.
Thank you very much for this wonderful experience – I’d be happy to do it again!

A Splendid and Unforgettable Safari Tour!
Splendid Vacations is a truly outstanding travel agency that I highly recommend. Our agent, Rachael, was incredibly responsive and patient, always answering my questions quickly and thoroughly. She paid close attention to every detail—for example, knowing that our flight out of Kenya was scheduled in the afternoon on our last day, she thoughtfully advised us to end our itinerary in Amboseli instead of Masai Mara, which only has one road in and out, in case of any unexpected delays.
The accommodations arranged by Splendid Vacations were all excellent! For example our group of six stayed three nights at Mara Enkaji Lodge, which has extremely beautiful surroundings, a very comfortable atmosphere, and a warm, welcoming staff. We were absolutely thrilled with our stay there and appreciate the arrangements!
Our guide, Rono, was exceptionally experienced and made the trip truly enriching! He shared numerous fascinating animal facts and navigated challenging terrain with great skill. After a heavy rain in Masai Mara, the roads became muddy and slippery, but Rono's expert driving made us feel really safe. He even managed to spot a leopard in an totally unexpected location and brought us right to the action—we got to witness the iconic river crossing and even a thrilling hunting scene as well!!
What impressed me the most was Rono’s extraordinary ability to predict animal movements and position us in the perfect spots for capturing unforgettable footage. His deep understanding of animal behavior and sharp photographic instincts allowed us to take some truly amazing videos from ideal angles.
All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend Splendid Vacations for creating such a splendid and unforgettable safari experience for us!
