Highly recommended!
Our safari with Africa Safari Classics started at the end of February and lasted 7 days. After that we loved Tanzania its people and its wildlife. Maurice advice helped us to plan the safari to our needs. Our driver guide Athumani was very, very good. We like birds and Athumani helps us to spot them and his knowledge of birds was very useful to help us to determine the species. Also his experience with the national parks and the animals was amazing: we saw al the animals we wanted. We love to come back some time and then again we would use Maurice and his team. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience with the best people!
Amazing!!!! We went on an 8-day safari with Africa Safari Classics last July, covering most of the major national parks in Kenya. It was an amazing experience! Maurice was very helpful in organising the safari and tailoring the whole experience to our needs and budget. Mr Jackson, our guide, was very friendly, knowledgable and super accommodating. We saw ALL the animals we wanted to see, had some amazing time with the local tribes and lots of fun in the safari car with Mr Jackson! We would definitely recommend Africa Safari Classics to anyone planing to visit Kenya or any of the other countries they organise tours at. We researched the pricing a lot before we booked and this safari company is definitely extremely good value compared to others.

Fantastic trip
We had a great trip with Africa Safari Classics. The itinerary was tailored to our budget and places we wanted to visit and it ended up exceeding our expectations. We had an excellent guide, Tony who had an impeccable knowledge of all areas we visited, provided lots of interesting info, was very patient on road and with us taking photos. He also got the best angles every time we spotted an animal and drove around so we could get different snaps. Needless to say, we saw the Big Five (including two leopards in one day) and we saw two cheetah kills. Maurice organised the trip perfectly, we got the best tents everywhere we went and everything worked out smoothly. It was a trip of a lifetime and I hope to go back soon, I'd definitely use the company again and would recommend to anyone.

Bespoke Safari, exceeding our expectations
We spent 10 days in several reserves and national parks (Samburu, OL Pejeta, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara). The trip was a bespoke affordable safari perfectly organised by Maurice who was on top of everything from day 1, not only in the communication flow before arriving but also once we got to Nairobi and started the Safari. He even drop by our hotel on the last day to have a chat and spend some time with us on a Sunday afternoon.
The trip was beyond any expectation we had. The camps were unbelievable, all the best locations within the reserves, we always got the best tents/rooms, the service and the staff was kind and willing to help if need be. Vegetarian/vegan food was organised for us as well.
Tony, our driver, did a fantastic job. He is very knowledgeable of all the areas and was very patient with us. He always found the way to get the best angle of the scene for us to witness and take photos.
I’d definitely recommend Africa Safari Classics to anyone. High quality at affordable prices.

Just got back from our dream trip. Thanks to Maurice for his excellent service in planning the 12 day safari. His professionalism made our trip so wonderful. Everything was top notch!!!! A special thank you to our 2 guides Felix and Jones for 12 awsome days . You made sure we saw lots of animals and taught us about the animals and life in Kenya. You took great care of us. We have souvenirs in our heads and hearts. We already miss you all and hope to be able to go back and visit more of Kenya one day.
Thank you again and big hugs to all of you

The Trip of a Lifetime!!
Words can not discribe the unbelievable Safari we had and it's all thanks to Maurice for organising a great itinerary and Jones (Muli) our Guide/Driver for not only meeting, but by far exceeding our wildest expectation of what our first African Safari would be like! We especially went in SEP to witness the great Wilderbeast migration in the Maasai Mara, and what a spectacle it was! What we did not realise was that we would see mating Lions, Cheetahs chasing and killing a Wilderbeast, a lone Waterbuffalo charging 4 Lionesses with their 12 cubs and the list goes on! Driving to several different areas and parks in Kenya was great, as they were all quite different from one another and we got to see the beautiful countryside and got more of a feel for the country and it's people. We fell in love with Africa and hope to be returning in the next few years to explore other parts and will definitely be asking Maurice to once again organise another awesome and epic adventure for us!

Three days in Kenya's Maasi Mara National Park
I've been on Safari in several countries across different continents, and this was the most like a fairy tale. From the moment we touched down on that remote grass airstrip I was amazed to see - through the single prop airplane window- giraffe sauntering up to feed on the treetops, and elephants grazing alongside the ubiquitous Wildebeest.
Kenya's free-range safaris are reputed to be the best in the world, and of Kenya's parks, the Maasai Mara to be the most diverse. The Serengeti ecosystem of Tanzania is much more expansive, but during the dry season migration, the animals follow the green grass up into Kenya, crowding themselves into the "Mara".
In our three day excursion we witnessed non-stop animal activity: A herd of Wildebeest crossing the Mara River, a pack of five cheetahs run down a juvenile Wildebeest, a Leopard, three Lions resting in the shade, hyenas galore, troops of baboons, and flocks of every kind of hoofed animal. We literally were driving through herds of beastly cape buffalo, scores of Zebra, Topi, Tommy Antelope, etc. At times the herds were so vast they dotted the Savannah as far as my 45 year-old eyes could see.
We never saw a rhino, but hey, it gives me something for which to return.
It was difficult to choose a booking company. From my computer screen in the 'States every company promised the best. There are many operators as this is big business in Kenya. Through a friend of a friend we stumbled across Africa Safari Classics, and they delivered the goods. They set us up in a great camp that was within our budget. Our luxury tents overlooked the Mara river. So after our morning game drive we would return to camp for our Noontime meal - only to observe more game! From the camp itself we could watch Hippos staying cool in the Mara River while a baby and a giant crocodile sunned themselves on its muddy banks.
After the sunset game drive we returned to a buffet meal which always satisfied. Our rooms were spacious and comfy. A system of window screens and bed netting calmed any fear of nighttime mosquitoes.
Mr. Maurice was only a phone call away when we needed transit hotels in Nairobi, ATMs, and flights in and out of the bush. I can't wait to bring my wife and kids next time.

Flawless planning for trip of a lifetime!!
Maurice planned a flawless trip for my wife and I in Tanzania that included a 6 day safari and 5 days on the beach in Zanzibar. From the second we landed until being dropped off at the airport to leave, we did not have a single worry as all transportation, food, and lodging was taken care of! Would recommend Africa Safari Classics services to any friend. They allowed my wife and I to plan a perfect trip at gorgeous accommodations and we saw the big 5! Zanzibar was amazing and the resort where we stayed was unbelievable! Thanks Africa Safari Classics!

Kenya by Kenyan
The trip was organize by Kenyan who love their beautiful country. It was an amazing trip, an experience that will always remain in our hearts. I recorded the sounds of Samburu and Masai Mara during sunrise and I have played them every morning since we left. Maurice and his staff from Africa Safari Classics was extremely kind as well as the safari drivers. I am definitely recommending them I am already talking with my friends and family to encourage them to visit Kenya with Maurice and his team.
