Fantastic safari in Masai Mara
5/5

From start to finish this safari ecxceeded all our expectations. Our driver Jackson was brilliant, and Ashnil Mara Camp was a great place to stay.
We ended up seeing 33 lions, 2 leopards and 5 cheetahs. Don't hesitate - just book.

We liked adventure, it was good enough, although the travelling between the camps was exausted.
4/5

We bought the 6 day Classic Best of Kenya.
-Generally, the people were amazing in terms of customer sat and attention to our needs and details. Our passionate and private guide James is really knowledgeable and make us lived the adventure in the jungle and the wild. As a former British colony, the communications were simple and strait forward although we learned some Swahili words in order to communicate with the Masai. The ultimate safari experience for us would have been a shorter travelling time (we spent almost 2 1/2 full days travelling by road from point to point); Here is our suggestion: from the airport, if you arrive at night, Longview suite in Nairobi, then Amboseli (2 days), Mara 2 days and last day in Nairobi. Nakuru does not worth the visiting. Food was ok. For bio brakes, stops were in tourists spots. We would have preferred non tourist traps. Lastly, ask for a jeep or equivalent instead of a caravan if you are travelling between January through the rain season, each $ of the extra $500 worth it (I haven't took it and according to folks who did, the confort was definitely better because of the road conditions). Overall good but definitely could have been better. Thanks to the whole Classic Journey team who made our safari unforgettable!

5/5

The Whole experience With Classic Journeys was far Beyond all my expectations! Friendliness, care, service, knowledge, skills, flexibility, everything! Matthew met us at the airport in the middle of the night With his warm smile and took us safely to the hotel. The NeXT morning Anthony was there to pick us up for a six days safari in Amboseli, Naivasha and Masai Mara! Anthony is absolutely fantastic in every thinkable way! All the Things he knows, where to go, HOW to get there... Taking care of my mom and me like we were Family, teaching us about all the animals, the cities, the country, the culture... DRIVING safely and routined like he was a world class rally-driver on those roads (especially in Masai Mara...)! Impressive! I feel a deep respect for Anthony and the job he does. Can't think of anything he could possibly do better... He gave us memories for a Lifetime! THANK YOU SO MUCH, ANTHONY! Thank you, also, Matthew, for bringing us hats in Naivasha!!!
I allready recommended Classic Journeys to others!

A great, well-organized experience. Highly recommended!
5/5

Great communication, a small misunderstanding with a driver was quickly and painlessly fixed in a few minutes. Great lodging places with very attentive and nice staff, good food etc. And last but not least, first class safari guides who really excelled both in making us feel well, at ease and comfortable, in their David Attenburough-class knowledge about animal behaviour, the Rift Valley and the Masai people, which they shared in just the right amounts, and their general driving skills and skills for finding good spots for experiencing the magic of Masai Mara wildlife. Thank you for a fantastic experience and lifetime memories!

Experience for life, fantastic company and people
5/5

It is fantastic to be together with the guide from the airport on the roads between the parks to see how people are living in Kenya. Even if many are quite poor, they have the smile and wish us welcome. The national parks in Kenya is fantastic with all kinds of animals. We will never forget the trips to Kenya and the fantastic guides in Classic Journeys. We will go back very soon. We feel very safe in Kenya because Classic Journeys look after you, fix all problems, and help you with everything that might come up. The lodges we have stayed in is excellent, with good food and clean nice tents. This was my second trip and my wifes third.

A fantastic experience
5/5

This is the 3rd time I travel with Classic Journeys. And have all 3 times had the same guides. We were met at the airport by Mathew and Geoffrey. Mathew is always helpful, nice and service minded. And made sure everything was as it should before we where ready for a new adventure. Geoffrey always has a smile in stock and is a wonderful driver and guide. We always feel safe. He never takes any chances. On game drive he is an open book with information about animal and plant life and reads the animals' reactions. Out of that he always finds the most exciting animals. We always returned full of experiences. I can recommend him as a guide and we will use him every time we go on safari. Classic Journeys is a company that has clients in focus and does what they can to make the safari perfect
