The amazing experience
It was an incredible experience, they were very attentive to us so that we did not lack anything, the car was large and comfortable and we had our own chef (Babatao) whose food was excellent, and our guide (Benjamin) who explained everything and tried to that we could enjoy the experience to the fullest

Amazing experience
Our safari to Botswana and Victoria Falls was very well organised. Our guide, Tafara, picked us from the airport in Kasane, adapting to our request to start from there. Throughout the whole trip, he really cared for us and our experience, eager to walk an extra mile. Every attraction was as described and better! We particularly liked the salt pans and the Chobe river cruise & rides! In the Okavango delta, we could experience the nature from close, thanks to professional guides, who also built a camp for us and preapared meals. We felt very safe, while staying overnight in the bush and admiring African starry sky. In the elephant sands, we could spend our time with those magnificent animals and went to yet another successful game drive. Than, Victoria Falls were a cherry on the cake - the view was just spectacular.
Africa Uncovered let us experience the bush from various perspectives: from the rivers, game drives and walks, you can also see it from the air in Maun. The acomodation and food were always good, people around always highly professional, reliable and very friendly. Unforgettable experience!

Excellent camping experience and guides
We did 4 days and 3 nights - camping with tents in the middle of nature, it was AMAZING! Guides Gudson and Malisa were super professional and friendly. They shared with us lots of precious pieces of information and did everything they could to make us feel comfortable . We drove with them all over the national parks and they made all the efforts to show us all the animals of the parks! So to conclude, if you have not understood it yet: I highly recommend it!

A most memorable experience!
Our experience with Brilliant Adventures and Safari was exceptional. Julieth was our agent and she answered all our questions and was super attentive to our needs. We were SO lucky to have Joshua as a driver for our safari experience. He was so professional, safe, and extremely kind with us. He made all the difference. I will ask for him personally if I return!! Thank you so much for the experience, very very memorable.

An unforgettable experience
Well… it is hard to start with these kind of longer reviews because you don’t know where to start! But the obvious would be the beginning, so let’s start. Upon arrival to Kenya we did not know what to expect, I mean it is not your classic vacation to Italy or Spain, it is really a venture into the unknown, no matter how many books, reviews or blogs you read, I don’t think you will truly be ready for the adventure that awaits you. We were very excited and very eager to get to Kenya, and once we finally did it felt surreal. Just the feeling of getting out of the plane and on to African soil is a feeling that is very hard to describe. You’re filled with joy, excitement and just a bit of healthy anxiety. Once we collected our luggage we were greeted by our host, Benson. And just by first impression you can tell you are dealing with a very happy and friendly man, who perfectly reflects the warm hospitality of the Kenyan people. We did land at 2 in the morning so we were ready to get to bed and start exploring as soon as we were well rested. The next day we went exploring in and around Nairobi and it was really wonderful. The staff at the hotel was very polite and helpful as were the drivers, who are like a walking encyclopedia of not only Kenya but also Africa as a whole. It was a really pleasant experience. From the elephant orphanage, to the giraffe center and also just seeing the Kenyan way of life and daily routine was fascinating. And even though you can spend days just in and around Nairobi we needed to get ready for the real adventure which was the safari. The day after, we were up early in the morning to meet our drivers for the safari, Daniel and James. And even a week after the whole trip is finished I cannot tell you who the better guide was because they were both brilliant in their own way. We ventured first into the wilderness of the Masai Mara National reserve, which was about a 6 hour drive from Nairobi. At about half way to the reserve, you go on to a dirt road, which at first is very crazy and you might get a bit sick, but the next day you feel like you have been on dirt roads your whole life! We settled into our second hotel which was also lovely, and the staff equally friendly and helpful. The next 2 days were spent exploring the wildlife of the Masai Mara National reserve. We were up with the sun and were going back with the sunset. The safari experience was quite frankly, at least in my personal opinion, one of the best moments of my life. Just being in the wild, surrounded by wildebeests, buffalos, giraffes, lions, cheetahs… you name it, it is probably somewhere in the reserve, really a one of a kind experience that is hard to compare to anything. We spent one day with Daniel and one day with James, and both days were fantastic. Daniel and James are so knowledgeable not only about their surroundings and animals, but life in Africa in general, and provided so many fascinating facts and knowledge that I will be telling to everyone I know! And for that, me and my family are really grateful to them. After the Masai Mara reserve we went on a 3 hour drive to Lake Nakuru national park, which was also breathtaking. It contains all the animals as those the Masai Mara reserve, I think minus the elephants, but there are flamingos to make up for that. And after our safari at Lake Nakuru we went back to Nairobi airport and departed to Diani beach where we spent the rest of our vacation. To anyone on the fence about traveling to Kenya, and having doubts, please erase them and go on an adventure of a lifetime. Classic Explorers provided me and my family the best and most unforgettable trip of our lives. From the warm hospitality of Benson, the knowledge and information of Daniel and James, and also the great communication with Agnes, with whom we have been in touch all the time before arrival, and who was so so helpful in the planning of our trip, from the health pro-cautions, the visas, infomation… we are forever indebted, and all are welcome to visit us in Croatia tomorrow! The prices were fair, nothing unexpected, both in restaurants and local shops. At no point did we feel threatened or in danger and were able to relax fully. The food was delicious in both the hotel and restaurants we visited. We did exchange all our euros at the Nairobi airport, and you will also get the best rates there for any currency. Once again, to the whole Classic Explorers team, thank you thank you thank you!!! We can not recommend the organization enough to anyone who might be organizing a trip to Kenya. 11/10

An absolutely reliable and highly recommended tour operator
We have just returned from our wonderful trip to Uganda with Speke and we are deeply impressed by this country with its incredible friendly people, diverse experiences and especially our tour operator Speke Uganda.
Before booking we had some concerns about whether a non German operator would actually implement everything reliable and according to our wishes.
We can now confirm this 100 %!
The Safari was professional planned and all our questions were promptly and kindly answered in advance.
Above all this is thanks to our driver VINCENT, who tried to fulfill every wish for us. He safely navigated us through every traffic chaos and African massage roads, showed us beautiful spots and answered all our questions. We left him as a friend and miss him.
We liked all the accommodations of our mid range tour. Each accommodation was unique. We also liked the car because of its size and the roof which could be opened. The price performance ratio of the Safari was absolutely reasonable.
We can only recommend Speke highly!
