Dedicated and very knowledgeable
We had an absolutely amazing experience in the Masai Mara, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Tom! From the very beginning, Tom made it his personal mission to ensure that all six of us had the best safari possible — and he delivered beyond expectations.
His knowledge of the park and wildlife was incredible; he seemed to know exactly where to go and when. Thanks to his sharp eyes and dedication, we were lucky enough to spot all of the Big Five — something we’ll never forget!
Beyond being an excellent guide, Tom was friendly, patient, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone was having fun and getting full value from the experience. Every drive felt like an adventure with a friend who truly cared.
If you’re planning a safari in Masai Mara, I can’t recommend Tom highly enough. He turned a great trip into an unforgettable one

Unforgettable First Safari Experience with Classic Explorers!
My experience with Classic Explorers was exceptional. I joined a 3-day shared safari (with seven other travelers) and couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the Maasai Mara. From the very first WhatsApp exchange, the team was incredibly accommodating—working within my budget and finding affordable options that still felt premium.
Communication was seamless throughout. They arranged my hotel pickup and handled every detail, leaving me free to simply enjoy the adventure. The camp was beautiful—spotlessly clean, with warm service and every amenity I could need. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the full water jug in my room, which you don’t often see at every lodge.
Our driver truly made the experience a 10/10. He ensured we were always comfortable, kept us well-supplied with water, coordinated our lunches and park entry, and went the extra mile to help us spot as many animals as possible. We saw everything imaginable—even the season’s first zebra crossing the Mara River back to the Serengeti, a once-in-a-lifetime sight.
I wholeheartedly recommend Classic Explorers for anyone seeking a reliable, safe, and truly unforgettable safari experience.

Five days of wonder in Tanzania with our super guide
We spent five incredible days with our guide Pastory exploring Tarangire, Lake Nyamara, and the Ngorongoro Crater. He is attentive, passionate, patient and deeply knowledgeable about his country. Thanks to him, we spotted animals we would never have seen on our own. His guidance also allowed us to take our time and capture stunning photos.
Pastory speaks fluent English and French, and is highly respected by his fellow safari guides—a true testament to his professionalism and kindness.
We wholeheartedly recommend him and hope to return one day to discover more of Tanzania with him.

5 - days adventure, we will remember!
We found a trip with safariline defenders that suited us and our needs. That was the 5-days safari with visits to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai mara. From the start Safariline defenders was easy to contact and answerd our questions fast.
Our guide, Samuel, was a patience and knowledgeable guy. He had a good balance between talking and informing us and at the same time give us time to enjoy every sight in peace and quite. There was no stress to drive ahead, and he re-arranged the scheduale if we needed more time some places and put our wishes first. We felt safe with him and the scheduale safariline defenders had arranged for us.
We really recommend them!

Incredible experience 🐘
It’s one of the nicest place I’ve been to Karol and the team had made it very genuine and very nice experience for us. The place is so magical at night we got to experience an elephant passing through the food is beyond incredible and the Safari they take the extra mile to look for all animals. We got the chance to see four out of five and it was just beautiful. I recommend everyone to experience it and they also throw a gathering called Boho, which is just beautiful to experience the African rituals of eating, which was just incredible.

Francis was an excellent, knowledgeable guide
We had Francis as our tour guide at Jocky Tours and I can assure that he was an excellent tour guide and provided us with an amazing time. He knows his stuff extremely well. He is also clear about the next day's plans. In addition, he is an amazing driver. He has great driving skills and you feel safe all the time. He will also truly do everything he can to make sure you will get to see the big 5. The nice extra was that you can also have a great laugh with him. He has a great sense of humor. I can only say that I highly recomment this company and especially Francis as a tour guide.

Excellent service from start to finish
We arrived at Nairobi airport and were then picked up by a Land Cruiser, with our excellent tourguide Joshua, who drove us all the way to Ashnil Mara camp (an almost 7 hour drive with some stops). We had three excellent days at the camp, safaris and excellent food. The “tents” were extremely luxurious and with impeccable service. We saw all animals that you can imagine! Joshua was an extraordinary tourguide, telling us not just everything about the animals, but also about Kenya and lifestyles. On the way home we also visited a Masai village, very fascinating.

A perfect organization and a friendly and competent advice!
We have had very good experiences with Adventure Purists in the past. Christa has chosen the Msandile Lodge for us in South Luangwa. This lodge is beautifully located right on the Luangwa. The service and the food were very good, as was our guide. The wildlife sightings were outstanding and exceeded our expectations. We saw several leopards every day. In Lower Zambezi, we were traveling with Moses and Joseph, our guides from Adventure Purists. Both planned the daily schedule in consultation with us and were excellent at observing the animals. We both held each other dear; the relationship was warm and friendly. In addition, Moses cooked excellently and Joseph is a very good driver. The 'magic woodland' and a pack of wild dogs that we saw almost every day were unforgettable experiences. Thank you very much for the 14-day safari, which we will never forget! We had so many amazing moments like never before! The next safari with Adventure Purists is already in planning.
