Awesome 10 days wild life safari packages provided
Huge thanks to @splendid for organizing such an unforgettable trip! Everything was so well-planned—from the itinerary to the accommodations. I didn’t have to worry about a thing! The team was super friendly, always responsive, and made sure we were comfortable at every step.The best packages i got from the few surveys for the Kenya 10 days wildlife safari.
I have been contacted by Dennis from Splendid Vacations and he has provided the 10 days perfect Safari packages as per my request. All our stays was clean, modern, and well-equipped with good locations where can see animals 🦓🦒🐃 from our room.The staff were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable.The breakfast spread was also really impressive with both local and Western options. Overall, a fantastic stay.
He always follow up with me on the safari plan and even help me a lot with my ETA submission to Kenya as we are having some issues with the name printed in ETA as per our passports.
The price, selection of accommodations and game drive is exactly followed as per itinerary listed in the packages from day 1 to day 10.
Dennis also accomodate my spouse request to do a surprise birthday celebration by the hotel staff.
Also on last day our vehicles having issues and they immediately send a rescue and provide us a dinner at Hilton Hotel. Thank you so much.
Our Driver Rono is well known about the routes to go to each parks and also quick in spotting the animals.
He also very knowledgeable on the each animals and explained well to us of their habitats and activities. He always ensure our safety first while driving us to anywhere.
We are fully satisfied with their services as we are first a bit worried on the services but its proven our assumptions is wrong.
Thanks again for the absolute awesome services & such a memorable experience. I’ve already recommended you to friends and family, and I’m looking forward to planning another trip with you soon!

The trip was amazing!
They were great! They planned a great trip that included so much more than most other tours. Highly recommend adding that balloon safari! We left cash and valuables in the truck and it was never touched. We trusted them and felt very safe.

The breakdown of cost will be the new norm
I like Splendid Vacation because they provide the breakdown of all costs: hotel, park fee, car etc. With the transparent breakdown, I understand the cost. I can adjust my travel according to my budget. The hotel cost is also comparable with booking etc.
The agent Sammy is also super helpful. His answer is always timely and detailed. Our guide Wilfred is also an expert in wildlife.

Funtastic!
I travelled as a family of 4 with 2 kids. The kids really enjoyed the safaris and the accommodations they provided. Our tour consultant Sammy was very communicative and helpful to fulfilled our needs. Our tour guide and driver Timothy was also an amazing person and helped us find the big 5. He really knows what he’s doing 😁. Thank you splendid vacations!

Incredible Experience in Kenya!
I chose Splendid Vacations because of the well presented quote and excellent communication provided by Sammy. Sammy was always available in the lead up to the tour with any questions we had and I was extremely happy we were able to meet briefly before the tour. Our driver Tim was also excellent, I appreciate his patience on our long drives.
The tour itself was excellent and everything I wished for from our first safari experience. The lodges were all very nice with friendly helpful staff. We were even upgraded to a different lodge during our time in the Maasai Mara to a more premium option. During our game drives Tim always made sure we had a good viewing point of the animals!
Overall I would highly recommend Splendid Vacations for reliable and friendly service. I was sad that our tour had to come to an end and I look forward to my next visit to the amazing country of Kenya.

An Unforgettable Tanzanian Safari on Our Honeymoon
We had the most incredible safari experience again! Last year we travelled with this company in Kenya, so when we booked our flights to Tanzania it felt natural to contact our planner James to help us plan and coordinate another safari. James was, as always, quick to send us a detailed quote and followed up consistently. He was always available if we had questions, and we felt safe, taken care of, and well informed from the very first message.
Our guide Jackson was truly exceptional. He is incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable at all times. On every drive he shared insights about plants, trees, climate, culture and of course animals, always with a big smile. When it came to the game drives, he was absolutely phenomenal. Jackson was always early to the best spots, positioned the car perfectly for viewing and communicated efficiently with other guides in the parks. We also noticed that many guides stopped to ask him for updates because he always knew exactly where the animals were. Thanks to him, we saw incredibly rare sightings including lions under our car, baby leopards, countless lions and lion cubs, lions mating, cheetahs and cheetah babies, and of course the entire Big Five. Every time we thought we had seen it all, Jackson surprised us with something even more amazing.
We were on our honeymoon this time, and James made sure to let the accommodations know. Because of that, we had a surprise waiting for us every time we checked in at a new place which added such a beautiful touch to our stays.
The accommodations were very good, and the car was spotless every day. We always had cold water, soft drinks and snacks that Jackson provided for us.
Towards the end of our trip we had to make some unexpected changes due to our cancelled and rescheduled flight back home which meant staying an extra day. James handled everything for us and managed to rebook our domestic flight and take care of the necessary hotel adjustments. It turned a potentially stressful situation into something completely hassle-free.
Overall, it was an amazing 10 out of 10 experience.
Asante sana James and Jackson, we will be back! 🙏🧡

Professional, organized and prompt.
My husband and I booked a 17 day experience of Kenya and Tanzania with Rachael from splendid vacations.
Even before arrival Rachael's, experience, organization and professionalism provided us with a lot of confidence in Splendid Vacations even from the first interaction and were the reason we felt so secure in working with Splendid for this trip of a lifetime.
Unfortunately there was an outburst of violence in Tanzania when we were scheduled to arrive there. Fortunately Rachael and Timo were quick to arrange alternate safaris and accommodations all in Kenya. We were initially skeptical but found that Rachael and Timo had clearly put a lot of thought into the alternative itinerary as each park brought a new, exciting and different experience. We didn't feel like we missed out at all and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience!
Timo as our first driver was an exceptional guide, getting us to see almost the entire big 5 (bar elephant) including a rare and close view of a leopard on our first day!
Throughout our incredible Kenyan experience we were fortunate to have great viewings of all of the big 5 (with a large herd of elephant in Samburu park being a particular highlight), the ugly 5, the Samburu 5 and many many more!
Timo's knowledge of animals, birds, plants and the parks were exceptionally insightful and his contacts with other guides allowed us to always be thrilled with how much we saw on each and every game drive!
We were aware that Timo's schedule would have had to change unexpectedly as ours did since we were originally going to have a Tanzanian guide for about half the journey but he was able to pivot and provide a great experience throughout the extended Kenyan itinerary.
We were also fortunate to have Rono for the Nairobi portion of our journey who was prompt and safety conscious in a city where the traffic and road conditions can be unpredictable. Rono also provided a good game drive for us in Nairobi national park.
All in all we were very pleased with how Splendid vacations was able to make lemonade out of the lemon provided by the unfortunate civil unrest in Tanzania and always felt that our safety was paramount.
Asante sana Rachael, Timo and Rono

Incredibly knowledgeable and comforting.
My wife and I travelled with Splendid on a one week tour. Our driver was Willy and he was a massive reason why our trip was so successful. His knowledge about the animals, areas and his understanding of what we wanted out of the trip. We were never in a rush anywhere and always arrived ahead of time. Willy’s guidance all week was incredibly professional and we would highly reccomend him for anybody travelling with Splendid. The tour company provided a new truck with ample space for us and our bags. This could easily fit 4-6 people comfortably. From start to finish, the communications from the company and Willy was second to none. A hugely enjoyable experience with an incredible tour company. Thanks team.
