Excellent animal tracking!
It was an unforgettable and incredible experience! Dennis planned a smooth 11-day safari itinerary for us, working seamlessly with our skilled game guide, Alex, who was excellent at spotting animals and ensuring we had the best views. We not only saw the Big 5 but also the Special 5 in Samburu National Reserve. Alex also made it possible for us to see zebras crossing the Mara River, two cheetahs on the hunt, a lion family with six cubs, and a leopard with her two playful cubs—moments we’ll never forget. Thank you, Alex, and the Splendid Vacation team!

A wonderful 11-day journey with Splendid Vacations.
My recent 11-day trip to Kenya with Splendid Vacations was an unforgettable adventure that seamlessly blended natural beauty, cultural richness, and top-notch service. From the moment I booked the trip, James from Splendid Vacations demonstrated exceptional professionalism and attention to detail. The itinerary was well-structured, offering the perfect balance between exploration and relaxation. Highlights included visits to Nairobi, Samburu, Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli National Park.
The accommodations arranged by Splendid Vacations were excellent. Each location offered a variety of local and international dishes, ensuring that all dietary preferences were catered to. The safari experiences were undoubtedly the highlight of the trip. Our knowledgeable guide, Charles, was not only an expert in spotting wildlife but also shared fascinating insights about the animals and their habitats. Transportation was smooth and efficient throughout the trip. The vehicles were comfortable and well-maintained, and Charles ensured our safety at all times. The service provided by Splendid Vacations was exceptional. James and Charles were always courteous, responsive, and eager to ensure that our needs were met. Any issues were promptly addressed, contributing to a hassle-free travel experience.
Overall, my 11-day trip to Kenya with Splendid Vacations was a fantastic experience that exceeded my expectations. The well-crafted itinerary, excellent accommodations, thrilling safaris, and cultural encounters made for a memorable journey. I highly recommend Splendid Vacations to anyone looking to explore the wonders of Kenya in comfort and style.

Some magic moments to renew again with you
6 nights safari in few different places, each of them différents indeed but all with lovely sceneries. Nice and comfortable 4x4 Land Cruiser, but what makes the difference is the driver. And James was great, very friendly and also professional with all animals knowledge and always trying to find them in the savannah.
Thank you to Splendid Vacations for this magic trip ! See you again soon.

Great service all round
We started booking our holiday over 6 months before travelling and decided to employ Splendid Vacations.
We wanted a 4 day Safari of the Masai Mara followed by a 4 day Safari of the Serengeti with a few days break in between. Sammy was brilliant from start to finish, working with us to nail down our exact requirements and the price breakdown was transparent with no hidden surprises.
All communication was clear and dealt with promptly.
The safaris were amazing, with the guides offering a huge range of knowledge. Julius was a stand out guide, he was outstanding in working hard to locate the best sightings, very courteous and helpful.
Overall, a really great experience.

Best of the best
Just ending the Kenya portion of our trip and very sad to say goodbye to Alex. What’s an amazing guide. Found ALL the animals and was always able to position for the best close up shots. We saw everything the Mara had to offer thanks to Alex. Many key moments and sightings we were the only vehicle there. Alex is always flexible and makes sure that you are getting the adventure you wanted. Vehicle was fantastic and comfortable and even included a refrigerated cooler with water. The pop up is a must. Everything else that Splendid did for us was well organized. We’ve been spoiled. We’ll miss you Alex, thank you!

Very responsive, great tour options, excellent drivers, top notch combination.
We just want to share our sincere gratitude to Splendid vacations. From the moment of our arrival and pick up to our drop off and final day, we had nothing but 5 star, exceptional service and hospitality. Our drivers Rono, Tony and Julius were outstanding! They were all knowledgeable about the parks, history of everything we did and of course, about the animals. They worked very had to ensure that we got to see and know about everything we encountered. Our drivers were exceptionally friendly, all smiles and always willing to be of service. Without them, this trip would have not have been as spectacular as it was. Our accommodations were all top notch with excellent amenities and some were in the national parks so that were as close to nature as possible. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a safari adventure of a lifetime. We leave back home with our hearts full of all the beauty that Kenya and Tanzania had to offer us.
Thank you!

The perfect Kenia Safari
It starts with the preparations and looking at the extensive itinerary. Communication before and during the journey is always good and Rachel really thought with me what to choose.
The safari itself was amazing. The driver/guide was very experienced and showed us the best spots and we have seen all the animals.
The car is very comfortable and strong and brings you everywhere.

Exceeded expectations in every way!
Our tour guild, Timothy was outstanding from the go. He answered all our questions and anticipated our wants and needs throughout our journey. Would highly recommend him if available as he was awesome! 👌
Tim made every safari unforgettable—expert, safe, personable, and exceptional.
Our safari through Kenya was absolutely incredible, and a huge part of that was because of our guide, Timothy. From the moment he picked us up until the end of our adventure, he was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best experience possible.
Timothy has an amazing ability to spot wildlife that we never would have seen on our own, and thanks to his skill and dedication, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five and so much more. Beyond his expertise, he took the time to teach us about the animals, the ecosystems, local culture, and life in Kenya, making every day both exciting and educational.
What truly set Timothy apart was his kindness and personality. He quickly felt less like a guide and more like a friend sharing his country with us. He was always attentive to our comfort and safety, adjusted plans when needed, answered our endless questions with a smile, and made every moment enjoyable.
We have traveled to many places around the world, and Timothy ranks among the very best guides we have ever had. If you are fortunate enough to have him as your guide, you are in excellent hands. He helped create memories that will last a lifetime, and we cannot thank him enough.

Excellent Service and an Incredible Guide
We really appreciate James' help in planning our 10-day trip through the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, Tsavo East, and Taita Hills, as well as his professionalism throughout the entire booking process.
We can honestly say that everything went perfectly, and we couldn't be happier with the experience.
The vehicle, accommodation, food, itinerary, and timing were all excellent. Every part of the trip was well organized and exceeded our expectations.
Thanks to our guide, Rono, we were lucky enough to see many rare animals. He was always patient and gave us plenty of time to enjoy each sighting without ever making us feel rushed. His knowledge, experience, and passion made the safari even more special.
In fact, thanks to him, we started planning our next trip before this one had even ended!
We highly recommend James and Rono to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience.
