Amazing Safari!
Peter was great in arranging everything and our guide, Alex, was amazing. He went above and beyond, continually trying to create just the right experience. He was great at spotting hard to see wildlife and getting us nice and close.

Excellent! Well organized, friendly, honest and responsive tour operator.
We booked with World Air Travel and Tours based on the recommendation of a friend.
We were extremely satisfied with every element of the trip; from the polite, friendly and responsive interactions with Elias to our lovely and informative guide, John.
Our accommodations (the tented camps) were really great. Elias was very receptive to our feedback. We also really appreciated his honesty as he refunded us some money in cash when we arrived. Our guide, John, was a wealth of information, very patient, a great driver and really skilled at spotting animals that other drivers did not notice.
I thought that World provided a really good value for what is normally a very expensive trip.

unforgettable experience!
I have done the game safari in Serengeti couple years ago with my friends. But this time I went with my mom and it was her first time. Our game drive was for 3 nights and was with a private guide Laurence, and the experience was completely different than the last time not only because of the luxurious hotels we stayed in (like four seasons) but also because of the amount of various animals I was able to spot. Laurence was extremely knowledgeable, very nice, and made sure we experienced the best of the best for those days. I saw more animals in one day than altogether last time, including cheetah and leopards. One time we saw more than 10 lions together in a group, once mating, once with their cubs, and altogether I think we saw lions almost 20 times during the trip. I took some videos almost like national geographic films too! We were also fortunate to do balloon safaris and catch the migration of wildebeests and zebras. It was endless scenery of them from the balloon, was able to see all their trails, also spotted a lion from the top. I think we had the best weather and timing to do the balloon safaris, it was certainly worth it.
Upon returning, my mom is already wanting to go back second time and recommending her experience to all of her other friends. Thank you all!

Lots of wildlife - but passive experience
We did the Northern Circuit, including Ngorongoro in December of 2017. The amount of wildlife seen was mind boggling. However, sitting in the car for 12+ hours per day started to get boring and the experience felt passive. Next time I would like to mix up the experience with fewer days of driving and include more culture or walking activities.

One life experience!
My first time in Africa has been amazing, and for sure the safari was the best part!
Everything was perfect, Allan has been super helpful, clear and precise, starting with our pick up at Kilimanjaro airport.
We did 4 days 3 nights low budget safari in Lake Manyara NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro Crater. We have seen 4 of the big 5 and many more animals.
Food was good and always more than enough, camping sites good, car quite comfortable considering the roads' conditions.
Unforgettable holiday!

amazing holyday
We had a very nice trip, excellent service and a very comfortable car and always clean. 1 litre of water a day. The tour guide (Emanuel James) was very friendly and he has a lot of experience and knows all about the parks and the whole country! The lodges were perfect as well ,

I had a great time at Maasai Mara, thanks to African Adventure Specialists
Touring the Maasai Mara was a dream come true. Growing up in Kenya, like majority of Kenyans, Maasai Mara was too expensive to visit during my formative years and watching tour vans full of western tourists on their way there made me really envious. I was referred to African Adventure Specialists by a friend who had been on Safari with them the previous year. From the moment I reached out to Andrew, my experience with the company was nothing but great. I was given great details of the tour packages the company offered and what to expect. My questions and concerns were responded to in a timely manner. I ultimately settled for 3 days 2 nights package lodging at Mara Sopa lodge. I considered the price quite reasonable since it was peak tourist season. Maasai Mara was what I always imagined it to be an more. Sammy, our tour guide/driver was very knowledgeable about everything, having lived in the area all his life. He knew where and when to see the animals and gave us great insights into the animals, plants, the Maasai people, and all there is to know about Maasai Mara. The 4 X 4 tour vehicle was agile enough to navigate the terrain, with a degree of luxury that I didn't expect given the circumstances. All in all, my whole party (Which consisted of 3 adults and two children) had a one in a lifetime experience.

A life-time experience
This was our fist time in Africa and Gideon Tanzania Safari made our trip one in a life-time experience! We spent three days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and we were amazed by the nature and animals, but mainly by Gideon's attitude of mind - he is good with the animals and kind with people. Indeed, we enjoyed a service with a customer-tailored agenda. Gideon Tanzania Safari has arranged all details for us - from the hotel in Arusha to coffee on the road - during the game. We were humbled by the level of service in the bush camp and pleased by the smooth pace of our trip. We enjoyed talking with Gideon and learning from him about the animals, and about Tanzania and its people.

Experience for life, fantastic company and people
It is fantastic to be together with the guide from the airport on the roads between the parks to see how people are living in Kenya. Even if many are quite poor, they have the smile and wish us welcome. The national parks in Kenya is fantastic with all kinds of animals. We will never forget the trips to Kenya and the fantastic guides in Classic Journeys. We will go back very soon. We feel very safe in Kenya because Classic Journeys look after you, fix all problems, and help you with everything that might come up. The lodges we have stayed in is excellent, with good food and clean nice tents. This was my second trip and my wifes third.

A fabulous safari with a great company
Peter was helpful and professional from booking to completion.
We had a wonderful safari with our guide Eddie who tirelessly looked after us all from the onset.
Wonderful people, wildlife, transport and accommodation in this beautiful country.
I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone looking for a good value but comprehensive safari.
