Perfect
The safari experience was truly incredible and something I would absolutely recommend to anyone considering it. We did a four-day safari and overall had a wonderful time. Our driver, Gifty, was excellent—very kind, cheerful, and always willing to help and show us as much as possible. I was completely satisfied with him, and he definitely contributed to making our experience even better.
The only aspect that could be improved is the food. Personally, I was not very satisfied with either the quantity or the quality, except for one dinner which was very good. Most of the time the portions were just barely enough, and sometimes it seemed like there wasn’t quite enough for everyone. Nevertheless, the safari itself was a unique experience and one that I would still highly recommend. 🦁🌿

Great experience in Kenya
We really enjoyed the safari experience with Jocky Tours & safaris. Our driver was David Mukami and he made every effort to make us see all animals in their habitat. He is a good driver, he managed to take us safe to the destination, although the weather wasn't friendly at all.
I recommend this experience for all it offers.

Safe, comfortable, informative driver and guide in the Cape Town area
Great, low stress way to tour the Cape Town area, wine region, and Garden Route. Our driver Macdonald was friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

Reliable and professional
We truly enjoyed our time with Pacifique, our driver and guide from Hermosa. He made our travel comfortable by providing water, Wi-Fi, and by customizing the itinerary and stopping at places we wished to visit. He always greeted us with a warm smile and was very friendly.
Pacifique also shared his personal experiences and the story of how he became a tour guide and driver, which made the journey even more interesting. He is very knowledgeable about the animals and birds, and he helped us spot many of them during our visit to Akagera.

A great day in Pilanesberg
I had an absolutely wonderful experience on my recent trip to Pilanesberg National Park.
What truly made the experience exceptional, however, was our driver, Alex. From the moment he picked us up, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive. The drive to and from Pilanesberg can be long, but Alex made it feel effortless. He drove safely and confidently the entire time, which allowed everyone to completely relax and enjoy the journey.
The game drive itself was fantastic, and I would highly recommend this experience—and if you’re lucky enough to have Alex as your driver, you’ll be in excellent hands!

Excellent operator, will go with them again next time.
The tour guides were excellent in educating us on the history, culture, and wildlife. They were a joy to spend time with, even outside of the safari times. The team repeatedly went above and beyond while exceeding expectations. As a highly reliable group I look forward to touring with them again.

They were an amazing partner in my dream trip, from planning to the road.
I had been planning this trip for years, and when it came down to actually getting an itinerary and budget together, and changing that itinerary too many times, Brenda and the team were always ready to help. They were extremely flexible and supportive as the numbers in our party changed, and flexible catering to all f our travel needs. Brenda even arranged for us to participate in a dance workshop - a first for the cultural center! (I highly recommend this activity BTW.) Joseph, our guide was THE BEST. We didn't miss a single animal thanks to his expertise and keen eye, and we learned so much from him along the way. He was absolutely lovely, as was the entire experience. Thank you!

An Amazing Exoerience in Tanzania!
We began our Tanzanian experience in the Serengeti under the expert guidance of Jackson, our highly skilled and personable safari guide. Jackson's love of the Serengeti was immediately apparent as he excitedly pointed out the plant and wildlife. He also shared some interesting stories from his days as a Mount Kilimanjaro guide. Jackson also handled gathering all the supplies for our picnic lunches and stayed with us and assisted both times we needed to go through customs. During our time in Tanzania we stayed in wonderful huts, as well as a beautiful lodge, where in both places, staff members came in nightly to turn down the bed, spray for mosquitos and secure the mosquito netting around the bed. As all meals were included (and delicious) we literally had nothing to worry about throughout our stays. After the Serengeti, we traveled to the Ngorongoro Crater which was so different from the Serengeti but equally incredible. This entire tour exceeded all of our expectations! The hospitality level of Splendid vacations cannot be beat. This whole vacation was also a fantastic value, very reasonable prices so that we could even splurge on things like a hot air balloon tour over the Serengeti followed by a bush breakfast. We are completely thrilled with our entire safari vacation and cannot recommend it more highly!
