Kenya Safari - Amboselli, Nakuru, Masai Mara
Organisation from Classic Journeys was excellent, from picking us up at the airport when we arrive to our driver Dixon making an extra effort to make sure we made our flight to Zanzibar. Dixon was knowledgeable and looked after us very well. There were a few long drives but overall standard of accommodation was great and we saw an abundance of wildlife. I would recommend booking the hot air baloon safari, it really is a once in a lifetime experience.
Wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. Recommended.
Wonderful safari, guided by excellent people
I was worried about my trip due to the stories my husband had told me about his self-drive safaris! I wanted a safe, guided safari with lots of close encounters with animals. My fears quickly disappeared when first, our group of 2 families, were met at Nairobi airport by one of our guides for Kenya, John and then met our other guide, Anthony, the next morning. They could not have been more kind and helpful. They explained everything that would happen and were always prompt and both interested and interesting. They looked after us brilliantly and we saw many amazing sites. They handed us over to our Tanzanian guides, Abasi and Maji, at the border and once again we were greeted with kindness and courtesy. They were also very knowledgeable and experienced, finding us breathtaking close encounters with nearly every animal we were hoping to see. Only the elusive Black Rhino escaped them and us. All our guides were so knowledgeable about both animals, including the many birds, and also the local communities that we passed through. They were most interested in us and in ensuring that we had the best time possible. We were left with brilliant memories and I have no hesitation in recommended this caring, resourceful and knowledgeable team.

Communication from start to finish was excellent. The staff at Classic Journeys Africa were extremely helpful.
We had a fantastic time on our safari. Our driver/guide Peter was great, he is was extremely knowledgeable and really Looked after us. We wish we had stayed longer on safari. We stayed at the Ashnil Mara Camp which was excellent. Staff extremely friendly & food was great. Thoroughly recommend both Classic Journeys Africa and the Ashnil Mara Camp!

Dickson is the best safari guide and we are so happy for the safari. Charles and Newton gave us the best service!

Perfect Safari
We had an excellent safari with Classic Journeys. The guide Benson was extremely passionate and knowledgable about Africa's incredible wildlife, the accommodation was excellent and everything ran really smoothly. We even managed to see all of the Big Five!
Charles the tour organiser was also extremely communicative and flexible with our arrangements before departure. It really was the perfect safari.

We have been taken extremely good care of, everything was great exept from the road to masai mara
I will chose Classic journey again next time because of the guides, punctuality, location and safety. Even when they had a double booking, they fixed a better offer. One night at Eagle View and two nights at Masai Mara Base Camp made our journey even better. August is a perfect month for safari:-)

A truly delightful guide, who was knowledgable and extraordinarily helpful to our visit.
This was our first visit to East Africa. We were met by Mathew who was with us in the beginning and then later when we returned from Tanzania. Mathew went beyond what we expected especially on our last day. We had to check out of the hotel by 10:00 but our flight did not leave until 16:00 so Mathew was able to fill in the time for us and enabled us to get a glimpse of downtown Nairobi, which we would otherwise have missed. Communications were excellent and the service was outstanding. Mathew gave us a great introduction to Kenya and a great farewell day to complete what was a very enjoyable and fulfilling visit to East Africa. I would have no hesitation in recommending classic Journeys to anyone who was interested in visiting Kenya.

What an adventure!
From the very first e-mail to our airport drop off at the end of our trip, Classic Journeys Africa exceeded our expectations. Communication was exemplary. My questions (and there were many!) and concerns were answered quickly and efficiently. Elvis is very good as his job! Our guides were knowledgeable, polite, nice and fun. We are a family of four with teen children and frequent international travelers. This was our best trip to date! We will definitely travel to Africa again and we would absolutely book another safari through Classic Journeys Africa.
An excelent safari in Kenya
The safari fulfilled all our expectations and more! The service was very good, and the guiding was excellent. The lodging and food at the different camps were very good.

4 days safari at Lake Naivasha (1) and Masai Mara (3)
Everything went well, from A to Z. From the pick-up at the Nairobi airport until the drop-off five calendar days later we had fantastic experiences. We had a very good driver and guide in Kelvin who with a lot of humor, expert and driving knowledge took us through the various stages. The program was agreed upon based upon suggestions and preferences; we spent totally stress-free days in the company og Classic Journeys Africa. Kelvin took very much pride in trying to find as many animals as we wanted to see (we were a party of three). And we had an amazing sunrise experience, also with some perfect pictures shot by Kelvin and shared with us after the trip. Also an off-program excursion was made possible, based on our wish to visit a local school. All-in-all this could hardly have been any better.
