Experience for life, fantastic company and people
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
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

A fantastic safari with a kind and knowledgable guide. January 2018
Leading up to the tour Charles at classic journeys was very accommodating and patient with us as we decided what trip to do. Always quick to respond and to offer suggestions.
Our tour guide Chamillus was fantastic, super knowledgable and could spot a pride of sleeping lions a mile off! We were in Tanzania and went to Ngorogoro national park and the southern Serengeti - we saw 4 of the big 5 and had we stayed an extra day I'm sure that sneaky leopard would have made an appearance! Our stay at Kati Kati camp was magical, the food was delicious. We wish we could have stayed an extra day! We did a 2 day safari but I would say a 3 day would be best to ensure 5 out of the big 5!
It was raining heavily on day one when we went but that just added to the excitement - Chamillus was an off-roaring pro and it was quite the ride through Ndutu!!
Thank you for a fabulous time Classic Journeys Africa!

Trustworthy and well planned.
We were picked up at the airport by a representative from the company before transferred to our guide.
The drive to Masai Mara took approx. 6 hours. We had a flat tire, and with a short game drive we didn't reach the camp before after 7,5 hours.
This drive could have been skipped as we had already traveled for 20+ hours.
It was dark when we reached the camp so we didn't see much. Received a welcome drink and escorted to our tent for some freshing up before dinner.
All the food was fantastic and the service was second to none. We felt very welcome and taken care of.
Our guide picked us up at 8 am, way later than the other guests, but seeing it was our honeymoon we didn't want to rush.
We saw A LOT of animals! Our guide obviously knew where to drive. It was really impressive to see how they remembered all the roads crossing each other. We had a whole car for our selves, which was great. Except for one time where we forgot the clock and lost track of the direction in the dark, this trip was everything we had imagined and more! The transfer back to Nairobi was well organized and everything went smoothly.
We would recommend using Classic Journeys when booking a safari in Africa.
