Unforgettable safari
It was an incredible experience with Amour and Rastaman (Lewis) as guides, and Chef Johnson.
Everything was well organized, from the initial briefing to the final meeting.
The food was excellent. The explanation of what we were seeing was very detailed, especially from Rastaman.
I definitely recommend Suricata to anyone planning a safari.

Gosheni's arrangements were impeccable.
Zadock was an exceptional guide during our safari in Tanzania—his knowledge of the local wildlife and landscapes was truly impressive. He had an uncanny ability to spot even the most elusive animals, from leopards hiding in the acacia trees to rare birds soaring above the savanna, and he shared fascinating insights about their behaviors and habitats with passion. We’d recommend him to anyone seeking an authentic, memorable Tanzanian adventure.

Efficient and great communication
I did a one day trip to Uganda from Kigali and it was amazing. It’s a long day, leaving at 2am, but absolutely worth it. A special shout-out to by guide, Justice, for helping me deal with a visa issue at the boarder when returning to Rwanda.

Faithfull adventure, to live a beautiful safari
We just wanted to sincerely thank you for organizing such an unforgettable three-day safari in Tanzania. We had the chance to visit Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara – and everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish.
We were a group of five and we all had an amazing time. The lodge we stayed at was comfortable and welcoming, with everything we needed to relax after our full days.
A huge thank you to our guide, who was absolutely fantastic – always available to answer our questions, very friendly, and clearly passionate about his work. Thanks to him, we were able to see most of the iconic animals of the savannah. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see the leopard, but that’s just how nature goes – no worries about that!
From a logistics point of view, everything was spot on: we always had water and soft drinks available, and we never lacked anything in terms of food or drinks.
All in all, we’re leaving with amazing memories and grateful hearts. Thank you again for this incredible experience!

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari Experience – Absolutely Unforgettable!
If you're even thinking about booking a safari, stop looking and go straight to Splendid Vacations. This company exceeded every expectation and delivered a once-in-a-lifetime experience that our entire family will never forget. We traveled as a group of eight — my parents, in-laws, my spouse, and I — and every single one of us came away feeling like we had just lived out a dream.
From the moment we contacted Dennis, our safari tour consultant, the experience was seamless. Dennis was incredibly accommodating, responsive, and patient with our many questions. His expertise and attention to detail ensured that our trip was perfectly tailored to our group’s needs.
The value for money was phenomenal. Everything — from the stunning lodges to the game drives — was thoughtfully planned and delivered far more than we expected. The accommodations were top-notch: clean, comfortable, and often with breathtaking views that made each night just as memorable as the days.
Now to the heart of the trip: the safari itself. We explored the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Ol Pejeta Conservancy, and saw the Big Five in just the first three days! Each day was packed with adventure, awe-inspiring wildlife, and perfect moments to photograph and cherish forever.
Our drivers and guides, Alex and James, were nothing short of extraordinary. They were not only friendly and warm, but also incredibly knowledgeable, intuitive, and skilled at both spotting wildlife and navigating the terrain safely. Their insights brought the entire experience to life — they seemed to anticipate the animals' movements and always positioned us perfectly for photos. Their thoughtfulness and care toward our group made a huge difference, especially for our older parents.
This safari was everything it should be and more: wild, beautiful, educational, comfortable, and absolutely thrilling.
If you're booking a safari — book with Splendid Vacations. You won’t be disappointed. Ask for James or Alex as your guides, and prepare yourself for a magical journey. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thank you, Splendid Vacations, for giving us the trip of a lifetime! 🌍🦁📸
