A very proffesional operator
I am in the last day of my tour in Tanzania. I had the best tour, mostly because of our driver Stanly who was nice, proffesional with a lot of knowledge, it was important for him that all of us will be happy and that we get everything we need. He was always on time with a big smile.

Best trip ever
We took the Maasai Mara/Serengeti/Ngoro Ngoro/Amboseli Safari. This was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guides--Paul in Kenya & Saba in Tanzania--were excellent. If you want to get up close and personal with the wildlife of Africa, this is the company for you. The accommodations were very good, and you could see game from the properties. Highly recommend Ket Safaris

Efficient and courteous.
Had an excellent experience traveling with Frean in Uganda for 20 days. Rondald was our guide, and he was excellent. He was very courteous, accommodating, and a good advocate for us with any lodges and restaurants we went to. We saw so many animals and witnessed lots of great wildlife behavior and interactions. Ronald was also able to book us a night walk last minute when we asked. An excellent tour company; strongly recommend.

Reliable - Honest - Great Knowledge - Communicative - Responsive - Best resort selection
Overall my trip went superbly well. Great memories and awesome execution by Splendid Vacations. My route was Nairobi Airport < Masai Mara < Central Serengeti< Southern Serengeti with balloon safari< Ngorongoro Crater < Amboseli NP< Nairobi Airport
I was a solo traveler from USA and skeptical on booking this trip due to new country/continent and new people. My assistant was Rachael. She was amazing throughout the journey by staying in touch the entire trip and before with my itinerary/planning. I would definitely recommend if you are planning for Africa.
What went well:
1. Drafting my itinerary with rates.
2. Resort selections and services were excellent. Rachael understood my requirements well and provided best resorts.
3. Great tour guides with punctuality and knowledge about area.
4. Vehicles provided were in good condition
Learnings: Something that I learnt and would like to pass.
1. If you are vegetarian, do carry some food for the trip. I carried some dry snacks and food for game drives because I like snacking while having fun in forest.
2. Plan well and share your interests about which location is important for you. The park passes are on day/hourly basis. If you are looking to spend more time in one park, say, Ngorongoro crater you may have to check-in late at the entrance. Something that you should talk before making bookings and tour guide will guide you according to your interests.
3. Climate could be harsh, so plan your trip likewise. I generally travel places in shoulder months to avoid tourist crowd. It worked well for me in Feb.
4. Plan you day ahead with your driver/travel guide to make best use of your day and places you want to cover.

Natural World Kenya Safaris took our deposit for a safari never taken& unethically not returning it.
I paid 12,328 USD to Natural World Kenya Safaris, for family holiday in April 2024 as they wanted 40% deposit.
It was a booking deposit for an upcoming trip this July, 2025. I had very little email communication after paying the deposit, and no response to our phone calls to them.
When I emailed the individual accommodations in Kenya we requested during our safari stay, I received emails back from them confirming Natural World Kenya did not reserve any accommodation for us.
I asked that our deposit be returned, well over the 150 days prior to trip and with in T& Cs.
After numerous emails/phone calls to Natural World Kenya Safaris, I did receive an email, from D****, that they would process a refund.
But we have not received our 12,328 USD from them. Nor any contact back from them.
I reached out to the KATO Ethics and Standard Sub committee, regarding non-delivery of services. Natural World Kenya Safaris has been suspended from KATO membership on account of violating the Code of Conduct for Members. And we have been referred to the Tourism Regulation Authority (TRA) and will pursue this legally against the company.
A very unethical company, one could ask is this fraud. A scam? Gangster like activity? if you book with them you will find out.
( Please note the date of "when do you go'' is date of deposit , not date we went on safari, as we never did go-full disclosure)

Above and beyond!
If you’re looking for a travel agent who truly goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Elizabeth Revelation African Safaris. From the very beginning of our trip planning to the moment we returned, she was incredibly helpful, ensuring everything went smoothly.
Even when we faced flight connection issues (which was the airline’s fault, not hers), she handled everything seamlessly, making sure our transfers and arrangements were taken care of. She was also extremely patient with all my questions—I’ll admit, I can be picky—but she exceeded my expectations in every way.
The entire experience felt like a dream, and I couldn’t have asked for a better trip. I’ll definitely be booking future travels with her, and if you want a stress-free, perfectly planned trip, I highly recommend you do the same!

Well planned and thought out trip, but underestimated travel times
We had a great time booking through Splendid! Our guide Mwololo was attentive, experienced and kind, and really helped us relax and get into the safari spirit. We were able to cover 4 national parks and also complete a hike in just 6 days! An added bonus was seeing all of the big 5 which I cannot thank Mwololo and splendid enough for. The trip was designed perfectly to our budget and personalised requests, the accommodations were all clean and safe and comfortable, and everywhere we went the people were so friendly! We would definitely use splendid again. The only complaint we had was the driving times between parks was underestimated for pretty much all the drives, so we spent more time commuting than we had anticipated.
