Safari.com put together a fantastic experience for us!
I was struggling with putting together a trip for me and my wife so I contacted Safari.com and they did all the work for me. I told them what I'd like to do and my time parameters and budget and they created a fantastic trip for us including air travel, connections, lodging, you name it! We loved the two lodges we stayed at (The Wallow Lodge in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, and The Elephant Valley Lodge near Chobe National Park in Botswana), our air travel was super (Airlink was a great airline!), we were always greeted promptly for our transits from plane to lodge and lodge to lodge, and we had absolutely no problems with anything they arranged. Plus, the package they put together was less expensive than if I had put it together myself--and I avoided all that stress. Our contact, Zene Devine, was easy to contact, very helpful, and a pleasure with whom to work. All in all, I would strongly recommend Safari.com to anyone planning an African adventure!

Professional, organized and prompt.
My husband and I booked a 17 day experience of Kenya and Tanzania with Rachael from splendid vacations.
Even before arrival Rachael's, experience, organization and professionalism provided us with a lot of confidence in Splendid Vacations even from the first interaction and were the reason we felt so secure in working with Splendid for this trip of a lifetime.
Unfortunately there was an outburst of violence in Tanzania when we were scheduled to arrive there. Fortunately Rachael and Timo were quick to arrange alternate safaris and accommodations all in Kenya. We were initially skeptical but found that Rachael and Timo had clearly put a lot of thought into the alternative itinerary as each park brought a new, exciting and different experience. We didn't feel like we missed out at all and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience!
Timo as our first driver was an exceptional guide, getting us to see almost the entire big 5 (bar elephant) including a rare and close view of a leopard on our first day!
Throughout our incredible Kenyan experience we were fortunate to have great viewings of all of the big 5 (with a large herd of elephant in Samburu park being a particular highlight), the ugly 5, the Samburu 5 and many many more!
Timo's knowledge of animals, birds, plants and the parks were exceptionally insightful and his contacts with other guides allowed us to always be thrilled with how much we saw on each and every game drive!
We were aware that Timo's schedule would have had to change unexpectedly as ours did since we were originally going to have a Tanzanian guide for about half the journey but he was able to pivot and provide a great experience throughout the extended Kenyan itinerary.
We were also fortunate to have Rono for the Nairobi portion of our journey who was prompt and safety conscious in a city where the traffic and road conditions can be unpredictable. Rono also provided a good game drive for us in Nairobi national park.
All in all we were very pleased with how Splendid vacations was able to make lemonade out of the lemon provided by the unfortunate civil unrest in Tanzania and always felt that our safety was paramount.
Asante sana Rachael, Timo and Rono

Unforgettable Safari and Tailor-Made Wedding with Excellent Value
We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience with Imara Africa Safaris. Everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Communication with Wendy and Lewis was excellent, and the whole team worked seamlessly together. A special mention goes to our driver Simon, who not only drove us safely everywhere but also enriched our journey with fascinating insights about the wildlife and life in Africa.
The price was very reasonable and, compared to experiences we've had, truly excellent value for money.
The highlight was the amazing tailor-made wedding they organized for us directly on the safari—truly the cherry on top. It was our first time in Kenya, but definitely not our last, and we are already planning another trip with Imara Africa Safaris to Tanzania and Uganda.
If you want a hassle-free, authentic safari experience, don’t hesitate to book with Imara Africa Safaris. Vacation with Imara Africa Safaris means Hakuna Matata—no worries, just amazing memories.

Wayne was great and handled everything. We stayed at nkorho bush lodge and it was amazing. The safari drives were unbelievable. The staff was great. Wayne made the whole thing so easy to play and book. I will us again if coming back.
