The best safari experience I’ve ever been on!
This was an absolute once in a lifetime experience and it was all thanks to both of our guides, Omar and his son Alex. I wish I had eyes like Omar’s, they are like binoculars! He made sure that we didn’t leave the safari without seeing all the possible animals we could and we got in almost touching distance of lions, zebras, wilderbeasts, warthogs, elephants, every animal you could think of! Omar and Alex have such a strong relationship and Alex is really following in his father’s footsteps! Thank you so much to both of them for taking me on a once in a lifetime experience, this will never be topped.

Boniface was the most patient, knowledgeable and friendly tour guide you could ever ask for.
I can’t say enough good words about Boniface! I was nervous going into this trip but I can now say with 100% confidence that this trip would not have been as smooth, stress-free, safe and entertaining without Boniface leading our trip to Kenya.
Boniface is very well connected to many of the hotels, local companies for activities, has a great understanding of an ideal timeline of events and he is very flexible in his timing to fit your needs. We were extremely impressed with Boniface’s ability to navigate the chaotic Kenya traffic, as well as always driving with extra care on the unpaved roads in the Kenyan game parks.
It’s also important to note that while he was very flexible with the schedule if need be, Boniface was never late, in fact he was always ready early. That combined with his knowledge, his genuine care for your experience and his ability to keep you safe, made this tour immensely great value for our money.
We will never forget this once in a lifetime trip. Asante sana, Boniface!

Very knowledgeable and friendly.
Lebo was a great tour guide! I was by myself and felt very comfortable with him. He is very knowledgeable of the sights and history of South Africa.

Well organized
Did Omo Valley trip through this company.
Everything was well organised.
Guide Reshid was always on time, very polite and attentive.
Hotels were basic, but I didn't see any other options in that region. I guess you just need to be open minded and flexible when you go on this tour. Most importantly Reshid made sure I cover everything what was promised and more.
Thank you

Boniface was an exceptional guide who consistently went above and beyond!
I have just completed my second safari with Boniface, who is an exceptional guide, and I can confidently say that he will go above and beyond to host a superb safari.
As a North American traveller to Kenya, my three priorities when planning our trip was to (1) see the best parks and animals, (2) find a guide that I can trust, and (3) ensure our safety on the trip.
Boniface not only worked with me to plan the best safari and visit the parks with the animals that I wanted to see (Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Nakuru), he also brings a wealth of knowledge about the animals and is a master at navigating the parks, spotting animals, and supporting the “extra experiences” outside of game drives including a visit to the Maasai village, a balloon ride, biking at Hell’s Gate, visiting the Giraffe Centre, Maasai Market, and City Park in Nairobi to see the playful monkeys.
In terms of trust and safety, I can wholeheartedly say that I feel super safe with Boniface. He did an excellent job to ensure our safety at all locations, including ensuring our belongings were safe in his vehicle. Boniface was receptive to our additional requests, many questions, and provided guidance to assist with currency conversion, “do’s and don’ts” while in specific areas, etc.
I first travelled to Kenya in 2023 and booked with Boniface for the reason that he was able to provide a custom itinerary for my group at a reasonable price. I travelled with Boniface again in 2026, bringing a new group to Kenya, where I purposefully chose to travel with Boniface for the high-end value he brings. I can confidently say that every trip with Boniface is well worth the cost and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. When deciding to return to Kenya in 2026, there was no question to book with Boniface - I knew this was the right decision.
Working with Boniface to plan our 6-day safari (+2 additional days around Nairobi) was super easy and pleasant. As a frequent traveller, I had high expectations and many asks for Boniface. He took care of all bookings and made the process seamless. After a family emergency, I needed to reschedule our trip - Boniface was very understanding, accommodating, and worked tirelessly to rebook for us. His patience and calm nature make him the ideal planner and guide. He ensures that you are enjoying your vacation, and that you are relaxed for your safari.
Within the parks, we saw Lions, Giraffes, Hippos, Impala, Cheetahs, Wildebeests, Ostrich’s, Camels, Flamingos, Baboons, Zebra, warthogs, etc. Boniface ensured that we saw each animal as close as possible and had every photo opportunity that we wanted.
Overall, this was a successful second trip with Boniface, and I look forward to returning to travel with Boniface again. He is a genuinely great guy and will make your trip to Kenya unforgettable. I cannot recommend Boniface enough!

Very nice, professional and knowledgeable guide with nice vehicles.
The safari was very good and we saw all the animals we wanted. The guide was very good, professional and was ready to answer all our many questions. The lodges was very nice. High value for money.

Bienvenido Kenya - for the best safari experience!
Book the trip with Bienvenido, you won't regret it! I've compared prices with other tour operators and they provided the best value and service! Also, ask for Patrick as your guide! He'll make sure you're more than thrilled whilst respecting the animals. They'll do exactly as promised in the program: Lodge, drives, no frills with entries to parks... Responsive communication in email, any question you have, and at any time, they'll answer. Genuinely recommend their services, NOT A PAID REVIEW.

Very friendly, safe and takes good care of his clients
We had such a great experience from start to finish. Both guides were super fun and easy to be around, and you could tell they really cared about making sure we had a good time and saw everything we came for.
Our driver honestly went above and beyond. On the first day, he stayed out over an extra hour just so we could see a lion and a leopard that we hadn’t spotted yet during our two-day safari. That meant a lot to us and really shows how much effort he put in.
The accommodation was also really, really good—comfortable and better than we expected. Overall, we’re super happy with the experience and would definitely recommend it.
Food was super good too, and drinks we’re always provided

Kind and helpful people
My girlfriend and I had a very nice private trip organised by Splendid Vacations.
The booking process was generally smooth.
There had been an issue however with the first payment, which basically was nobodies fault, and a very fair solution was given by Splendid.
On our arrival in Nairobi it was easy to find our transportation to the airport hotel, which was of very high standard.
The next morning our safari really started and we were picked up by our guide/driver Masila, in a comfortable off road vehicle.
Masila has been a great guide, taking very good care of us, always smiling, very flexible and gave us all the time we needed.
When we suggested we would like to do a very early sunrise safari the next morning instead of what was originally planned, that was no problem at all.
One day, when going to the next place in the morning, he suggested to make a little detour in the park first, so we could maybe see a rhino (which we had not seen yet), and guess what.. we did see not one, but a total of three rhinos on our way!
Also all the accommodations we stayed at have met or exceeded expectations, both in locations and staff.
Our personal preference however, turned out to be the tented camps, as they had a nice relaxed and open atmosphere, yet very comfortable.
All in all we had an amazing trip and would definitely do it again!
