He is very accommodative and ready to assist.
We booked a 3 nights trip to Amboseli NP from Nairobi with drop off in Emali Station. Communication with Benard was easy and quick, he recommended Serena lodge and we were very happy with that choice. Pick up was on time and our driver and guide John was just great.

Small local company with personal service
We went on a 4-day safari. Started in Tarangire followed it up with almost 2 days in Serengeti and completed it in the Ngorongoro Crater.
3 nights with 2 out of 3 very good lodges. The first lodge was not fulfilling our expectations but the last two lodges were very very good!
We would prefer to add some extra to skip the first lodge.
The tour itself was amazing, we saw a lot of wild animals such as Hyenas, Cheetahs, Elephants, Lions, Giraffes and luckily 3 Rhinos. And also the great migration.
We recommend this local owned company since they have their personal touch.

Simon is great!
Simon was a great safari guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly. While the itinerary I booked got a little messed up and I was with different groups each day, Simon more than made up for it. In general, the camping safari was good value.

Perfect.
A wonderful trip, 9 days Safari, 2 people and your own driver who knew how to find the right places
Luxury Lodge and some primitive tents.Changing nature, smells, colours and a lots odd animals
The Serengeti has high grass in February making the animals difficult to find.
The Ndutu on the other hand has a lot of animals where we have seen the migration of the wildebeest.
The service from Makasa and de Lodges was perfect.
The Jeep was outdated and especially the seats were not too good but our guide/driver Peter was super so then you forgot the chairs.

Amazing
We had an incredible safari experience! We saw loads of giraffes gracefully moving through the savannah, and it was amazing to spot hundreds of moose and zebras grazing together. The highlight was definitely encountering a lion with a few lionesses and their adorable cubs. It was such a special moment! We also saw an elephant and got so close!
Our driver Gilber was fantastic—super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals. I learned so much about the wildlife and the culture of Tanzania during our trip. He made sure to drive us as close as possible to all the animals, which made the experience even more memorable. We were all so happy with the adventure!
Lots of energy and very informative
Was a great day trip. Tour guide has a lot of energy and information to give. I just wish we got slightly longer at the stops but other then that, it was great

Excellent
We booked our December holiday with Tai Adventures through a friend in Kenya. Communication was fast and efficient with well detailed and outlined information. Clean vehicle all through the safari and our driver guide was knowledgeable and patient with us. Our stay in Naivasha was awesome at Naivasha Resort where we spent our night was definitely fantastic.
Visit to hells gate national park where we went to the geo thermal swimming pool for some water games.
We had a boat ride and we saw some hippos and water bucks along the lake. This was a perfect and well organized safari what a memorable moment it was.

We saw the best of Tanzania's national parks, conservation areas
On our three-day vacation with EL. Classical Adventures Tanzania, my family and I had a great experience. We saw the best of Tanzania's national parks, conservation areas, and cultural attractions thanks to the carefully thought-out schedule. Frank was an excellent guide who imparted his extensive knowledge of the history, geology, and animals of the land. The dinner was delicious and the accommodations were cosy. We are so grateful to EL. Classical Adventures Tanzania for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.

Mindful
Punctual and attentive service. Despite the off-season, we saw many animals in the Kruger Park and our driver, Mr Lambs Senior Casper, made an effort to show us all the animals despite the unfavorable conditions. Scenic panoramic tour is well worth seeing.

Wide variety of wildlife
In Nairobi, modern high-rises and shabby shacks are both present. No one obeys traffic rules. Uber is efficient and cheap. The streets are littered with rubbish all over the country. Tap water is undrinkable. People are friendly. The weather was not summery in January when we were there, it rained a lot and you needed a light jacket.
We went on a 3 days safari to the Masai Mara with Axis African Travel. The organisation was excellent, everything went as agreed. Unfortunately we were given a bad tour guide, James, who didn't inform us of anything, just sped us around the national park for 2 days. He had a hard time even stopping for a photo. Whenever a special animal appeared, all the tourist jeeps would rush up and chase it, surround it, block its way. They literally do animal cruelty.
We spent 3 days at Diani Beach. The sea is crystal clear and warm, the beach is fine sand and the water is slowly deepening. We took a glass bottom boat to nearby Robinson Reef to see corals and colourful fish. The locals don't take care of the marine life. Most of the corals are dead, the fish are fed bread for tourists and the boat crews collect red starfish for visitors.
Walking through the streets we felt in no danger. We did not go out in the evenings. There were panhandlers, but not to an excessive extent.
The Nairobi - Mombasa railway is clean, cheap and punctual.
Overall, Kenya is well worth a visit.
