Brilliant 8 day unique safari across Kenya
This tour was booked by my sister who did a lot of research and we have found it to be absolutely incredible. Rachel was informative, prompt and arranged everything with ease and professionalism, creating an unforgettable and magical tour. I think there has been good value for money and great to use a local company based in Narobi with expert knowledge.
This 8 day bespoke tour has been brilliant from the offset. Our truck is top notch, with charging points, an amazing fridge and our driver was even better! Alex was knowledgeable, funny, helpful and was always able to answer our questions in great detail. He completely looked after us during the entirety of our trip, at every stop over, shop, safari park and lodge. He paid attention to our needs, was able to offer advice and always found the best photo opportunities, especially for my sister with her camera. He planned ahead, was able to get us to the most incredible animals faster than any other guides ensuring we had the best view of all the animals. We saw not only the Big 5 but so many other incredible creatures from birds to hyenas, including 3 leopards and a cheetah. I have seen more animals than I could ever have expected and not only that, but I have been so impressed by the beauty of Kenya, from its picturesque landscapes to the warm and welcoming Kenyan people I have met along the way.
Many of the lodges have been very beautiful, with excellent service and food. Mara Enkaji in the Masai Mara was a particular highlight for its customer service, attention to detail, delicious food and immaculate rooms. Salt Lick Lodge also had the most spectacular views of elephants and other animals feeding from the water holes and from the circular rooms on stilts.
On our journey across Kenya we have travelled an incredible number of miles, seeing landscapes from the grasslands of the Masai Mara to the jungles of Lake Nukuru to the red sands of Tsavo East, with our expert guide Alex this has flown by. His driving has never ceased to impress me and I have taken photos so beautiful that my friends have compared them to AI as they can’t believe how close I am to lions, giraffes, elephants and more!
I will be avidly recommending Splendid Vacations to all of my friends and family. This has been a trip of a lifetime and I can only hope to return one day with Splendid.

Excellent operator
We would like to express our deepest and most sincere gratitude to Meru Slopes for what was truly the trip of a lifetime! From start to finish, every single detail exceeded our highest expectations.
First and foremost, a massive thank you to Leonard, who organized our tour with absolute perfection. He is a true master of his craft. The accommodations he selected were top-notch, luxurious, and comfortable, and the entire itinerary was executed seamlessly.
We had a major mix-up with our arrival date—our tour was scheduled to begin on July 26th, but we actually arrived a day early, on July 25th. We only realized this at the very last minute, which could have been a disaster. However, Leonard stepped in like an absolute hero. He handled the situation so brilliantly, swiftly, and effortlessly that we didn't feel a single second of distress or inconvenience. His problem-solving skills and customer care are simply world-class.
And the biggest round of applause goes to our extraordinary guide, Bariki. With over 10 years of expert experience, he is hands down the best guide you could ever ask for! Thanks to his unbelievable knowledge, keen eyes, and deep passion, we were blessed to see every single animal and natural wonder we had ever dreamed of. Beyond his incredible professionalism, Bariki is a deeply warm, empathetic, and wonderfully thoughtful person with exceptional emotional intelligence. He didn't just show us the wildlife; he made us feel completely safe, cared for, and cherished every step of the way.
Every single detail on this trip was thought out to perfection. It was a breathtaking, magical, and unforgettable adventure that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We cannot recommend Meru Slopes highly enough—they are simply the best of the best!

Incredible experience - well organised and incredible safari guide Fidelis!
Our 4-day, 3-night safari with Avocet Tanzania Safaris was genuinely one of the highlights of our entire trip to Tanzania. We visited Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations from beginning to end.
Our guide, Fidelis, was absolutely superb. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, funny and genuinely passionate about what he does. His knowledge of the wildlife and the parks was outstanding, and he always seemed to know exactly where to go. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him, whether we wanted to stop for photographs, spend longer watching an animal or ask yet another question! He made the whole safari feel relaxed, personal and incredibly enjoyable.
We were extremely lucky with the wildlife and saw all of the Big Five, several of them on multiple occasions. Some of the encounters were absolutely unforgettable, and Fidelis played a huge part in making sure we had the best possible experience.
There were six guests in our vehicle — ourselves and two other couples — and it worked perfectly. There was plenty of room, everyone had a great view, and we all got along brilliantly.
The accommodation throughout was excellent, but the Luxury Sightseeing Tented Lodges were a particular highlight. Staying out in such beautiful surroundings after a full day on safari was an experience in itself. The food was also fantastic throughout the trip — fresh, delicious and very well prepared, which was especially impressive considering some of the locations.
For the quality of the safari, accommodation, food, guiding and overall experience, we thought it represented fantastic value for money.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, we couldn’t recommend Avocet Tanzania Safaris highly enough — and if you have the opportunity to have Fidelis as your guide, you’re in exceptionally good hands. An unforgettable four days and an experience we’ll be talking about for years to come!

Brilliant!
We had a six day safari with our tour guide, Heron. He collected us from the airport and we set off to Masai Mara, then Nakuru and Amboseli. Heron was the best tour guide ever, he even helped us sort our lost luggage in between destinations. He made sure we seen the big 5 and was a wealth of knowledge. Robert was very easy to work with, quick to reply and changed itineraries based on our request. They were the best company I priced and offered the same as others for the best price. Would 100% recommend!

An exeptional operator that combines professionalism, flexibility and genuine care
We have just returned from an incredible week-long safari in Kenya with our family, and we cannot recommend Imara Africa Safaris highly enough.
From our very first interaction, Susan was exceptionally attentive, responsive, and professional. As a large family with a relatively limited budget, we were concerned that our dream safari might not be possible, but Susan went above and beyond to create an itinerary that met our expectations while staying within budget. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every request was handled promptly and efficiently.
A special mention must go to our guide, Simon, who was simply outstanding. His knowledge of the wildlife, nature, and local culture was remarkable, and he made every effort to accommodate our wishes and ensure we had the best possible experience. He was patient, attentive, and always eager to share his expertise. Most importantly, our children absolutely adored him, and he played a huge part in making this trip so memorable for our entire family.
The whole experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, filled with unforgettable moments and amazing wildlife encounters. We could not have wished for a better-organized safari or a more dedicated team.
Thank you, Susan, Simon, and everyone at Imara Africa Safaris for making our dream come true. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering a safari in Kenya. It was simply wonderful.
