A very friendly professional company
Frederick was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He was helpful and at all times answering my questions within a timely manner. What he promised he delivered on. Very good value for money. Accommodation was amazing, and the food wonderful. The driver was knowledgeable and again very friendly. Whilst on Safari driver listened to what we wanted to see and do. Cannot praise them enough. Once in a lifetime experience and glad we went with peak seasons

Madagascar is a unique country in the world, 13 days in Madagascar in mid-July
Travel is not all about comfort but it’s all part of the adventure. We had a lot of fun on our trip, we were a group of friends of 5 people. The agency offered us a trip according to our budget, the hotel is average category, not all hotels are welcoming but the main thing is that we had everything. What I loved was the sunset over the baobab avenues, it was magical and exceptional. Thanks to our guide Gervais, and our driver Rija, funny and professional people. Thanks also to Theresia, the agency manager who is always available for us and always satisfies our requests. Madagascar we will come back for another tour :)!

Exceptional team, paying attention to every detail, and creating unforgettable experiences with love
This summer I wanted a new experience, so I decided to go on a safari. I created my trip to suit me and looked for a direct operator in Tanzania. I connected with Safari Africa United, and from the first moment I connected wonderfully with Cornelius, he advised me and created my trip at an unbeatable quality and price, and it has been a wonderful experience. I recommend Cornelius, a kind person, with whom you connect and who is totally trustworthy. Thank you Cornelius.

Anja was the absolute best!
Anja really listened to my ideas of where I wanted to go on my self guided tour in Namibia, especially Tsumeb where my parents had lived and worked in the 1950's. She helped put together an itinerary that incorporated her expertise about central and Northern Namibia with my interests, that ended up being exactly right for me. She even pivoted on a dime to do a last minute change during the trip, which worked out perfectly. She checked in on me during the tour, gave me a suggestion for a game tour that turned out to be spectacular. The vehicle provided was reliable and very comfortable. I especially enjoyed the sight seeing flight over the Namib Desert and the Skeleton Coast that she arranged. Now that I'm back in Toronto and reflecting on the trip, I'm so glad I picked Great Explorations Namibia - would recommend it to anyone wanting to do a self driving tour. Ask for Anja - you won't regret it!

I had an unforgettable 4-day safari
The package included visiting 3 national parks with an amazing diversity of wildlife.
The Ngorongoro Crater is a true marvel.
The accommodations and facilities were okay. I stayed at campsites in tents with sleeping bags. The food was good, with dietary information obtained by the chef, there was plenty of variety.
I can’t recommend Suricata Safaris highly enough! From the moment I was picked up at Arusha Airport, the Suricata team took exceptional care of me. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, enhancing the experience with fascinating insights. Plus, their skill in spotting wildlife was impressive.
Overall, this safari was an extraordinary adventure, and I highly recommend Suricata Safaris for an amazing Tanzanian experience!

Good Experience, clear communicator
I really want to leave a five stars review for Top Cream Safaris and his crew, but the experience left me with a bittersweet taste in my mouth.
We had three days in Masai Mara, and while the experience was amazing, the driver—despite having a limited English vocabulary—was good. There was a questionable pit stop at a wholesale gift shop that made us wonder about the legitimacy of his intentions, as we later found out that we had significantly overpaid for some items to bring home to our dears. However, Top Cream was helpful in accommodating a last-minute change in our dates due to a miscalculation on my part. In terms of service, I would give them five stars.
The problem arose even before the trip started. I had never gone on a safari before, and I assumed it would be in a Jeep. Initially, the very first estimate sent to us did mention a van, but I hadn’t noticed it. When we received the final quote and signed off on it, the type of vehicle line item was removed. So, it was surprising to see a van outside the hotel instead of a Jeep on the morning of the trip. When I called to inquire, they mentioned that the initial estimate included a van as a line item. Genuine mistake perhaps, but it’s a detail worth noticing since we were fairly surprised.
In short, if I were you, I would make sure to clarify what type of vehicle is included in your estimate if it’s not mentioned explicitly. Request this information to avoid surprises like we experienced.

Classic Journeys Africa was always customer oriented and strove to make us all happy.
Classic Journeys provided excellent customer service from our arrival in Nairobi until our departure. They saw to all our needs and provided excellent accommodations and transportation throughout. Our guides, particularly Daniel, were knowledgeable and personable.
I only wish we had a little bit more downtime as we were on the move continuously. In addition, this tour was "organized" by a third party and communications with the group were sometimes a bit disjointed.

Unforgettable African experience
We had an amazing time exploring Rwanda and Uganda together with our guide Barack.
He is a skilled and knowledgeable professional with a great sense of humor and a kind heart. And...whenever there is a problem, Barack will always find a solution :).
Simply, a great company for your trip! We enjoyed everything. Thanks a lot!
