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! 🌍🦁📸

Best Tour operater in Tanzania
Our tour with Cornel was absolutely amazing. We spent three weeks with Cornel. Jacky and Cornel planned an outstanding tour for us. They also helped us with other things, including a flight rebooking and a problem with accommodation. There's absolutely nothing to complain about. His knowledge of Tanzania's wildlife and fauna rounded it all out. We captured the Big Five in our cameras, watched a lioness hunt, and had a fantastic time with them. The great meegration of wildebeest is such an incredible event. we loved just sitting on top of the car and watching and listening to the wildebeest.
We'd go back anytime!
Tanzania always with wild media safaris :-)

Gosheni exceeds expectations with superior serivce and knowledge
By Edward Dooling, USA
About 10 months ago, a good friend invited my wife and me to join him and his wife on a safari. He reached out to five or six different safari companies, and we ultimately selected Gosheni. The main reason for choosing Gosehni was the exceptional communication skills and professionalism displayed by their sales agent, Nora. Nora provided great guidance, earning our trust and our business.
The trip that Nora and the Gosheni Safari Team put together was top-notch and executed flawlessly. We cannot recommend them highly enough! From the moment we landed in Tanzania to our final goodbyes, everything was well-organized and exceeded all of our expectations.
Our guide for the 10-day safari was a great young man, Laban. He was simply phenomenal. Laban is a subject matter expert on everything we saw on our safari, from the vast array of animals to the birds and plant life. He also shared his personal story of what it is like to get married in his country, including the various tribes and local culture. His passion and energy for being a safari guide are second to none. Every game drive was a new adventure, and thanks to his keen eye and experience, we saw the Big Five and so much more. We even witnessed the birth of a hippopotamus, something I never imagined I’d see! We were also fortunate to see two wildebeest crossings at the Mara River, and three members of our team witnessed a wildebeest get eaten by a crocodile.
The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and perfectly equipped for photography and long days out in the parks. We visited Arusha National Park, Ngorogoro Crater, Central Serengeti National Park, and Northern Serengeti National Park, and each park was stunning in its own way. Gosheni made the transitions seamless and enjoyable.
Accommodations arranged by Gosheni were fantastic, unique lodges with warm hospitality and breathtaking views. We especially loved The Four Seasons and the Mara River Camp, where we fell asleep to the sound of wildebeest outside our room. While at the Mara River Camp, we were assigned a butler named Ola, who took great pride in his work and loved seeing his clients enjoy the impeccable service and excellent food that was provided there.
If you're looking for a company that is reliable, passionate, and committed to giving you the best possible safari experience, Gosheni is the one. We came home with memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you, Nora, our guide Laban, and the entire Gosheni team, for an extraordinary adventure!

Excellent, the communication was very good, he was very helpful, explained a lot :)
The best experience of my life!
Everything from the start was perfect. Starting from our driver with whom our almost 5 hour drive sounded like an 1 hour drive. He talked a lot about tanzanian culture, took us to real african lunch and stopped every time we see an animal on the road. Next at the Masai village we had an amazing time which cant be described in words- to have to see it in your own eyes. And the most important- THE SAFARI😍
What i would write isnt enough comparing to what it was. We had THE BEST tour guide and driver. I mean it. Everytime we were passing another jeep on the road i was thankful that we chose this company. The other tour guides was looking like this job was their punishment. And our group was smiling all way, explaining everything even sitting with us on the back. The atmosphere was great whole 12 hours of the ride. They took us to the best spots to see the animals. We saw all of them! They took care to us having great pictures from that trip. It is clear that they were right men for the job. We were so happy and excited the whole time! I cant thank them enough really! The words isnt enough to decribe this journey!! I fully recommend this company- especially our team that travelled with us😍

Unforgettable Experience in the Heart of Africa! 🌅
Our Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and lake Manyara tour was truly the trip of a lifetime. We absolutely had the best time in all the NPs, especially Serengeti. ❤️
It was perfect in every possible way! Thanks to our guide Godfrey (Marifa) who was incredibly knowledgeable and deeply passionate about the land and wildlife, his insights brought every game drive to life.
We were lucky to witness all the big 5s, the Great Migration, countless lions up close, elegant giraffes, playful elephants, leopard lounging in a tree and even a rare glimpse of a baby rhino with his momy. The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking — endless golden plains and magical sunsets that looked like paintings.
This tour gave us not just stunning photos, but memories and stories we’ll carry forever. If you’re considering an African safari, don’t hesitate — the Serengeti will change you.

From the initial communication to the final reception, everything was excellent. They responded promptly, even on weekends and evenings. They even helped me plan a birthday surprise for my friend, which was fantastic. The service was excellent.
