What a trip, fun and facts both combined into one
This trip was a trip of my life time and was full of pleasant surprises. Right from receiving us at the airport to sending us back, we had a heavenly experience with the warmest of the people and smartest of the guides. Classic Journeys did not disappoint us at all, infact it aced in every aspect of the trip. The warmest smiles picked us up at the airport, we were placed in a very clean and classic hotel and we felt safe. Although we were skeptical of our stay in the forests, to our surprise it was a glamping accommodation and the tents were extremely clean and well equipped. The dinner served at the camps were 3 meal course dinners with soup, salads and desserts. The tour guides were not only friendly and professional, they were extremely educated and carries a few educational book materials which made our gaming even more exciting. I have nothing but only good things to rave of this company and its staff. I look forward to sending my friends and family members to you all in future.

Big 5 and Wildebeest Migration
The trip to Tanzania was amazing. We were a group of ten which included kids and we covered Tarangire, Central and North Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater area and a day at Moshi. We booked through KimKim and Salty.Travel - Classic Journeys was their local partner in the area. The booking process was taken care of through KimKim while the actual safari was handled through Classic Journeys.
Magi and Penda are excellent guides who have spent a lot of time doing safaris. One of them was with us from the time we landed until they dropped us off at the airport again. They were patient with our questions and responsive to our needs. They were happy to provide suggestions about game drives and willing to work with us to modify plans as needed. Their knowledge of the area and animals were very valuable to us. They were able to get us to the right spots at the right time. We trusted them to take us where the animals were and we got to see the Big 5 and more! Our highlights of the trip included seeing a standoff between a herd of buffaloes and lions, watching a pride of lions eat their kill, seeing a couple of cheetahs eat a gazelle, and being in place to see the first crossing of wildebeests across the Mara river.
One minor area for improvement would be the vehicles. One of our vehicles had the misfortune of getting four flat tires over the course of our safari. Also, having working AC during the long days of travel would have been nice.

Sameer was knowledgeable in nature, animal behavior and identification, culture and customer service
Our time spent in Kenya with the assistance of Sameer from Classic Journeys was phenomenal. The company's guide was attentive to our wishes and needs. He paid close attention to what we wanted to see and found everyone of them and then some. He was so helpful in sharing his knowledge and experience with animal behavior finding us the best up close viewing options while respecting the animal. The accommodations were all top notch in terms of comfort, food and the African experience.
Top notch tour guides!
They were full of a knowledge, always on time. Kept us up to date daily on what we were going to do and where we would go. Great accommodations,.We heard other people complaining about the tour companies they had, but we told them they should have used ours. We will use them again for sure!

Very good, I had a marvelous time.
The safari in Masai Mara was excellent. Our driver, Samir, was a very nice person, a excellent driver and guide. I would have liked to have better seats and safety belts in the car and a microphone for the driver. People in the back seats could not hear what he told us about the animals, the country etc.

Fantastic experience
I won’t make this long. The trip was fantastic from day one. Well organized, well managed, well executed.
The guides were fantastic, the accommodations were well chosen and the safari outings themselves were very well timed and the travel very well structured.
We felt secure at all times and any minor issues that came up were dealt with rapidly and professionally.
The whole family loved every minute of it.
It was a memorable experience, we saw some incredible animals, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Perfection.
At first I was a bit troubled because going to Africa was a very different experience. The minute I got in contact with Justo Casal, all my fears went away. Everything was very well planned, hotels, vehicle, places. And our guide, Maurice was adorable. Both, Justo and Maurice made our travel easy, without any problem, and above all, trustful.
